VOLXVOLX

Testnet

beta

VOLX is in public testing

The protocol runs end-to-end on a live testnet: real chain, real machines, real container execution. The chain, the token and the data are for testing only — no real value is involved.

Get test ETH

Every on-chain action needs gas. Enter your wallet address — the faucet sends 1 test ETH (once per address every 10 minutes).

What works today

  • Marketplace search with deterministic matching (GPU / CPU / RAM / price / window)
  • Wallet-signed reservation and on-chain activation
  • Isolated Docker execution on the provider's machine (digest-pinned images)
  • Signed usage proofs: output hashes + provider attestation, verified server-side
  • On-chain completion with escrow release
  • One-command provider onboarding (agent + executor, x86 and Apple Silicon)
  • P2P data plane — inputs and outputs move between the two parties, no cloud storage

Still in progress

  • GPU workloads — supported by the protocol, not yet exercised on a public GPU provider
  • Output write-back to the consumer (the executor upload is the last gap)
  • Live log streaming, checkpoint/resume, interactive sessions

Test as a consumer (rent a machine)

  1. 1

    Add the network

    In MetaMask add a network with the values above. Use a desktop browser with the MetaMask extension.

  2. 2

    Get test ETH

    Use the faucet above so your wallet can pay gas.

  3. 3

    Sign in to reserve

    Open the marketplace, pick a slot and sign in — a wallet signature, no gas. Then press “Reserve live”.

  4. 4

    Reserve on-chain

    Confirm the transaction in MetaMask. The reservation must be created BEFORE the slot window starts.

  5. 5

    Activate when the window opens

    Open the reservation and press “Activate reservation”. Jobs can only run while the reservation is active.

  6. 6

    Run a job and complete

    Submit a job (image + command), watch it execute on the provider's machine, inspect the output proof, then complete the reservation.

Open the marketplace

Test as a provider (rent out a machine)

  1. 1

    Open the onboarding page

    Go to Provider → Onboarding, pick a machine id and copy the one-command installer.

  2. 2

    Run the installer

    Run it on the machine you want to rent out. It installs Docker if needed, generates a wallet key locally (the key never leaves the machine) and starts the agent + executor.

  3. 3

    Machine appears verified

    Within ~30 seconds the machine shows up as VERIFIED with its hardware capability.

  4. 4

    Fund and register on-chain

    Get test ETH for the provider wallet, then register the machine on-chain from the wizard.

  5. 5

    Publish a slot (price 0)

    Create a slot in the wizard with price 0 (test mode has no payments) and mirror it to the marketplace. Consumers can now reserve your machine.

Run a VOLX agent

Testnet notes

  • No real value: test ETH and test $VSL are worthless and exist for testing only.
  • The chain may be reset without notice while we iterate — reservations and jobs would be wiped.
  • Slots must be free (price 0) during the test phase, otherwise they cannot be reserved.
