Sacred Compute - an order of @covenant_ai

$billions to build. Or one API to aggregate. The GPUs already exist. We just connect them.
💸 Amazon is pouring record capital into data centers for AI, and AWS’s footprint is 900+ facilities across 50+ countries. A large share of this build sits on 440+ colocation sites, which lets AWS expand fast by leasing space while still deploying its own hardware stack and

Even Microsoft can't co-locate all their GPUs anymore. They're training across Washington, Minnesota, multiple sites. "Even the big guys can't put the energy bill for the data centre in one place." Decentralization isn't ideological—it's inevitable. The cathedral was never

Foundations crumble when built on wrong assumptions. We tore ours down. Rebuilding stronger: cloud-native compute, any job, anywhere. The pillars rise again. @DistStateAndMe provides updates from across the @convenant_ai ecosystem:

Last week we announced Basilica's economic redesign: eliminating arbitrage, moving to a jobs platform. A condensed TGIF space breakdown with @DistStateAndMe and @Hevalon is now on YouTube. https://t.co/60rgXAKgzi

The faithful shall be rewarded with optimal APY. @mentatminds gives TAO holders one-click staking across all three @covenant_ai subnets. The covenant grows stronger.
New index. Be sure to be on all the @covenant_ai subnets & take advantage of the best APY. Just one click to do: https://t.co/eNOmHrfZkx

TLDR: Setting @basilic_ai up to be the most powerful compute platform in the world : - Compute Arbitrage: In most decentralized compute networks, the protocol pays a middleman to access publicly available supply. This is wasteful, as miners do minimal work while demanding
Special edition TGIF going live in 2 hours. @DistStateAndMe covering changes to @basilic_ai architecture: how we ensure we never overpay for compute, how suppliers compete to beat our baseline, why the economics actually work. Plus: Flow-Based Emissions on dTAO and Covenant's

If you're thinking about sustainable business models in decentralized infrastructure, Friday's TGIF is going to be worth your time. @DistStateAndMe covering Basilica's new architecture—specifically how we solved capital-efficient supply in a way that actually works. Plus:

"Compute needs to be as close to you while you're typing code as possible" ~ @Hevalon Beyond rentals, Basilica's vision is shift-left infrastructure. No DevOps overhead. Clusters, not just boxes. Compute abstracted away while you build. This is a hill we're willing to die on.

The Basilica economic shift: Old: Pay for idle GPUs, constant sell pressure New: Pay only for used GPUs, emissions tied to revenue Target: Net positive (revenue > emissions) Ships this week. This changes everything.

In case you missed it, an abridged version of last week's TGIF on our new YouTube channel:

"Basilica is a hill that Covenant Labs is willing to die on." ~ @DistStateAndMe We're not just arbitraging compute. We're building the future of how engineers access infrastructure. This week: new incentive model goes live

Clusters are coming to Basilica. Not just rental boxes—actual orchestrated infrastructure that's as simple to use as writing code. This is our north star. Rentals are just the beginning.

Beyond rentals—the real vision: "Compute needs to be as close to you while you're typing your code as possible" ~ @Hevalon Shift left. Abstract away DevOps. Make compute so seamless that you just BUILD and the infrastructure handles itself.

Rentals are live and working. High uptime, miners are providing GPUs. But now we move from "the code works" to "the economics work." We need revenue and utilization to be the north star, not just idle capacity.

Why this matters: It eliminates sell pressure (no more paying for nothing). It aligns miner incentives with network utilization. It shifts focus to revenue vs emissions (targeting net positive). It rewards actual work, not speculation.

New model: 99% revenue goes to paying miners for USED compute. Only pay for what's actually rented. The overwhelming majority of rewards go to miners actively providing value. Ships this week.

Current state: We pay miners for idle compute. This creates constant sell pressure and doesn't align incentives with actual value creation. Miners get paid just for being registered, whether or not their GPUs are being used.

Major Basilica update from last week's TGIF Community X Space: Next week we're rewriting our incentive mechanism in a way that fundamentally changes the economics of the network. This is going to eliminate sell pressure and align the entire system around utilization. Here's
