Grid

The Grid is the decentralised backbone that enables distributed AI orchestration across organisational boundaries.

It's a public utility network: making AI accessible and pluggable for the whole world.

What is the Grid?​

The Grid represents the core networking and coordination layer of the Covia protocol, providing:

  • Distributed Compute Resources: Access to AI models, data processing, and computational power across the network
  • Peer-to-Peer Communication: Direct agent-to-agent messaging with built-in security and privacy
  • Resource Discovery: Automatic discovery and registration of available AI services and data sources
  • Load Balancing: Intelligent distribution of computational workloads across the network

Grid Architecture​

Network Topology​

The Grid operates as a decentralized network where each node can:

  • Host AI models and services
  • Provide computational resources
  • Store and serve data assets
  • Participate in consensus and governance

Security Model​

  • End-to-end encryption for all communications
  • Zero-knowledge proofs for privacy-preserving computations
  • Cryptographic attestation of compute integrity
  • Reputation-based trust scoring

Getting Started with the Grid​

This section will provide detailed documentation on:

  • Setting up a Grid node
  • Connecting to the network
  • Deploying AI services
  • Managing resources and permissions
