Getting Started
Learn the basics of W3A Network and start your decentralized AI journey
What is W3A Network?
W3A is a decentralized AI infrastructure network built by global nodes. Through RWA (Real World Assets) certification mechanism, it transforms compute power, models, and data into verifiable smart assets.
**Core Mission**: Return AI productivity to the masses, enabling every contribution of compute, models, and data to be certified on-chain and share value.
**Core Principles**:
- **Co-build**: Every participant is a network builder
- **Co-govern**: Decentralized governance through DAO mechanism
- **Co-share**: Network value distributed transparently by contribution
Four Participant Roles
**1. Compute Providers**
Connect your GPU devices to the network and earn continuous rewards. Devices are certified as Compute NFTs.
**2. AI Developers**
Develop AI models and applications with copyright protection. Earn revenue share every time your model is used.
**3. Data Contributors**
Provide training data or creative content and receive Data Asset Certificates.
**4. Regular Users**
Use AI services while becoming network co-builders, enjoying low-cost services and network growth dividends.
Quick Start Steps
**Step 1: Create Account**
Visit W3A Network platform, connect your wallet or create a new account.
**Step 2: Explore Dashboard**
Familiarize yourself with the dashboard, check network status, your points and earnings.
**Step 3: Choose Participation Method**
- If you have GPU devices → Go to "Node Management" to deploy compute nodes
- If you're a developer → Go to "Task Marketplace" to accept development tasks
- If you're a regular user → Use AI services directly and earn point rewards
**Step 4: Start Earning Points**
Complete tasks, contribute compute, or use services to earn W3A points.
RWA Certification Mechanism
RWA (Real World Assets) certification is W3A's core innovation, mapping real-world assets to verifiable on-chain digital assets.
**Three RWA Types**:
| Type | Description | Certificate |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| Compute RWA | GPU device certification | Compute NFT |
| Model RWA | AI model copyright | Model Revenue Certificate |
| Data RWA | Data usage rights | Data Asset Certificate |
**Value Loop**:
Real Assets → On-chain Certification → Generate Revenue → Revenue Distribution → Asset Trading → Value Growth
$W3A Token
$W3A is the native token of W3A Network, with a total supply of 1 billion.
**Token Functions**:
- **Incentive**: Rewards for nodes, developers, and data contributors
- **Governance**: Token holders can participate in DAO proposals and voting
- **Settlement**: Used for AI service calls and task payments
- **Staking**: Nodes need to stake tokens to participate in network consensus
**Token Distribution**:
- Community Incentives: 40%
- Ecosystem Development Fund: 25%
- Team & Advisors: 20%
- Early Investors: 10%
- Liquidity Reserve: 5%
