# Overview

RobinMesh is a decentralized AI inference network that runs on Robinhood Chain, an Ethereum Layer 2. If you own a GPU, you can put it to work and get paid in USDG for every inference job it completes. If you hold an Ethereum wallet, you can query open-weight models directly: no account to create, no logs kept, and no content filters imposed by the protocol.

Each job, each payment, and each provider payout lands on Robinhood Chain, where anyone can check it for themselves.

***

## The three layers

**Users and developers.** Requests come in through the chat interface, the REST API, or the SDK. Before any routing happens, the job's credits are locked in an on-chain escrow. Prompts are encrypted on the client before they go anywhere, and nothing gets logged.

**Providers.** These are the people running worker nodes, whether that means a browser tab using WebGPU or the `robinmesh-node` daemon on dedicated hardware. A worker receives an encrypted job, runs the model locally, and hands back a signed proof of completion. Payment follows automatically, with no delay.

**Smart contracts.** Escrow, proof verification, and payouts all happen in contract code, with no intermediary. When a job settles, the `settlement` contract sends 75 to 85 percent of its value straight to the worker's wallet and directs what remains to the protocol treasury.

## What the protocol guarantees

**Privacy is structural.** A one-time ephemeral key encrypts every prompt on your device before it leaves. The worker decrypts it in memory, holds it only while inference runs, and writes nothing to disk. No party keeps a copy.

**No gatekeeping of content.** Every model on the network is open-weight, and the protocol layer applies no content filtering of its own. Which models get curated is decided on-chain by $RMESH holders.

**Everything settles publicly.** A single job produces at least two Robinhood Chain transactions, one locking the escrow and one releasing payment. Buybacks, burns, and treasury moves are ordinary transactions too, open for inspection. You never have to take a dashboard's word for anything.

**Anyone can join.** There is no waitlist, no KYC, and no geographic restriction. All you need is an Ethereum wallet. Gas is sponsored through ERC-4337, so holding ETH is never required.

{: .note } RobinMesh is currently in open beta. The network is running, payouts are real, and everything settles on Mainnet, though a few features are still being rolled out.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.robinmesh.com/index.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
