Republic is a decentralized compute protocol developed by the Republic Foundation to coordinate and verify computational work through blockchain technology. Designed as an alternative to centralized job runners, its orchestration layer lets developers submit workloads for execution across a network of compute nodes. The protocol is intended for tasks such as model training, inference, simulations, and distributed workloads, with a focus on verifiable results, tamper-proof scheduling, and globally accessible compute.

Republic’s workflow allows users to submit a task, have a network node execute it, and validate and record the result. Participating nodes can receive rewards, while validators help verify execution using checkpointing and are selected based on reputation, availability, and stake. The network supports GPU contributors and offers options to run inference at scale, including choosing a cluster and uploading a model. Developers can explore the network during testnet, with usage-based pricing planned for mainnet. Republic also provides technical documentation, APIs, integrations, SDKs, validator and client quickstarts, a benchmark test, a block explorer, a whitepaper, and community channels.
