Kaisar on peaq network

(from my medium post)

I was reading this tweet: https://x.com/peaqnetwork/status/1813139254362386604 and its corresponding blog article on peaq: https://www.peaq.network/blog/kaisar-network-joins-the-peaqosystem, and I started to think, okay, they paint it very nicely, but what’s behind Kaisar? What exactly does it offer me? What is it for?

I remind you that this is not a recommendation for anyone about anything, this is simply a personal study.

So I connected to their website: https://kaisar.io/ to investigate what else is there besides what is mentioned.

The first thing that came up was the option to mint an NFT… which I couldn’t do because I arrived late (as often happens) and the deadline had expired, but since this doesn’t usually matter much to me, I continued with my investigations.

The first thing I found were their Partners & Investors, and the truth is, the names are recognizable… this is getting interesting:

In fact, finding Nvidia here, talking about AI, sounds good!

On their website, they highlight about Kaisar:

Physical Proof of Work: Every transaction contributes to the Physical Proof of Work (PoPW) consensus. Kaisar’s system prevents fraud and ensures complete decentralization

On their website, they highlight about Kaisar:

• Physical Proof of Work: Every transaction contributes to the Physical Proof of Work (PoPW) consensus. Kaisar’s system prevents fraud and ensures complete decentralization.
• GPU Aggregator: Kaisar Network groups new and idle GPUs from companies, data centers, and individual cryptocurrency miners, redistributing them to end users according to their needs.
• Permissionless: To become a provider for Kaisar, users simply download the application, with no need for an application form.

These three points, although not a groundbreaking innovation as I have seen them in other proposals, have some attractive aspects if they are well executed in practice, especially the part about decentralization and the ability to aggregate CPU/GPU power. It will also depend on how they price the service versus the cost of production. That is, what it costs me to provide computing power and how I will be compensated. This issue is still unresolved because if we look at their roadmap: https://docs.kaisar.io/roadmap, the pricing models are set for 2025.

In fact, it is not yet possible to download the node proposals or software that will allow joining the network. I understand, from the roadmap, that it will still be a while before the network can be tested, with its launch scheduled for the last quarter of 2024.

Without a doubt, for me, this is a project that I will keep an eye on within the peaq network, as it, combined with various solutions also announced on the peaq network, can generate a very powerful ecosystem… we will continue to inform and analyze with the new news that may come out!
