and built on Bacalhau, a peer-to-peer protocol that enables decentralised communication between computers, Lilypad is unlike other systems, where access to high-powered compute hardware is limited and costly. Instead, Lilypad endeavours to lower entry barriers and enable new use cases for developers and node providers through a permissionless and distributed job-based system. Lilypad provides a compute coordination platform and operates as the backend for compute where users, protocols, providers and projects can interact and feed into an open infrastructure stack to extend global access to efficient compute power.

Haire added, "Our mission is to equip developers with the necessary tools they need to build an open web and be a critical link in a collaborative, decentralised AI platform that anyone can contribute to and use."
