Anyone can spend Hadron coins via the Hadron Dashboard. Hadron mining is open to select users. Apply for a Hadron.cloud account by clicking "Create an Account".
Two significant trends present a compelling business opportunity.
Growing AI Demand
Challenges to Adoption
A lack of technological capabilities has hampered adoption of AI solutions and barriers to entry remain high.
Winners and Losers
Businesses that embrace the power of AI will have a significant advantage over competitors in the future economy.
The Invisible Supercomputer
A Network of Billions
The number of internet connected personal computers, smartphones and tablets numbers in the billions.
The Trend is Up
Global smartphone adoption continues to grow while hardware and broadband advances continue apace.
Untapped Power
Collectively, these devices constitute an enormous, distributed resource of untapped computing power.
The Hadron Marketplace
Hadron connects the demand for AI computations with an abundant supply of processing power in a centralized, virtual marketplace. Customers put out bids for computing tasks and miners can accept work in exchange for Hadron coins.
How it Works
Step 1
Hadron's customers have AI computations that need to be processed
Step 2
You have idle devices with untapped processing power ready to work.
Step 3
Your devices start processing tasks for Hadron customers. We call this mining.
Step 4
As you complete tasks, the customer compensates you with Hadron coins.
Who Can Mine?
Unlike traditional mining which requires highly specialized hardware and uses a winner-takes-all approach, mining with Hadron is accessible to a much wider population. If you have a compatible smartphone you can start mining in under a minute.
Real World Applications
These are just the tip of the iceberg based on Hadron’s current technology. In the future, Hadron looks to power even more applications with its AI.
Charitable Computing
A core value for the Hadron team is leveraging Artificial Intelligence for the benefit of society.
Users will always be paid for their computational efforts, but they will also have the additional satisfaction of knowing that a portion of all Hadron company profits will go towards funding AI computations for charitable causes including medical research for cancer and age-related diseases at institutions like Stanford University's School of Medicine.
Users can also donate coins directly to charitable causes within the Hadron dashboard.
