Gateway Layer

• AI Gateway: Handles general AI inference tasks like CV, audio processing or sensor data analysis

• LLM Gateway: Manages the more resource intensive language model inference

Edge Network Layer

• Edge Devices: handle the actual computation

• Master Node: Manages orchestration, scheduling and control plane operations

Decentralized Layer

• DID: Essential for secure node authentication, reputation tracking and trust establishment.

• Smart Contracts: Critical for automated resource allocation, payment processing and SLA enforcement.

The rise of large language models (LLMs) has fundamentally changed how humans interact with machines. These models can understand and generate human like language, making conversations with AI feel more natural.

From writing and research to coding and customer support, LLMs are now helping people work, learn, and create in smarter, faster ways. They’ve turned machines into collaborators, not just tools. However, the current dominant model, cloud based AI inference, suffers from latency, privacy concerns, and scalability limitations.

iG3 proposes a new paradigm: a decentralized edge computing network powered by thousands of AI enabled devices across the globe, providing instant, private, and cost effective real time AI interaction.

These devices form the first inference layer, while high-power data centers with H100/H200 GPUs serve as the fallback for complex requests. Powered by a tokenized incentive system and DID integration on the peaq network, iG3 offers a robust infrastructure for education, entertainment, and productivity use cases.

The Edge Node Layer forms the foundation of the iG3 network, composed of distributed devices that run AI workloads close to users. These devices process real-time interactions, reduce latency, and preserve privacy by minimizing cloud dependency.

Key Capabilities:

• Real-time Audio I/O: Supports speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) locally for instant voice interaction.

• Local Inference: Runs lightweight AI models such as quantized LLMs, Whisper.cpp, and compact TTS engines directly on-device.

The Latency Gap in Cloud AI

Cloud inference platforms often take several seconds to respond to voice or video prompts. In use cases like language tutoring, customer service, or gaming, this latency breaks immersion and utility.

Centralization Risks

Agent Node

The M1 Mini and M1E are the foundational units of the iG3 Edge Network. Equipped with modest Edge AI hardware, each Edge AI device runs as a K3s Agent Node, responsible for:

• Hosting microservices (e.g., AI inference, data collection)

As AI engineers and robotics enthusiasts, we encountered the same pain points that many developers, creators, and innovators face daily:

• Delays when speaking to AI assistants.

• Robots struggling to respond in real-time.

• Cloud models breaking immersion due to latency.

• High infrastructure costs to deliver low-latency AI at scale.

We've built robots that needed to understand humans but by the time the cloud responded, the moment was already lost. We've built prototypes that worked brilliantly in the lab but crumbled in the real world because latency made them feel dumb.

That's why we built iG3, not as a product, but as a solution to our own frustration.

We imagined a network where intelligence lived close to the user, not halfway around the world. Where devices could:

• Listen, think, and speak in real time.

• Run LLMs, vision models, and voice pipelines without relying on cloud APIs.

• Work together in a secure, decentralized mesh.

• Be owned by the people who run them and reward those who do.

We designed a hybrid system:

• M1 Devices act as intelligent gateways — capturing inputs, managing sessions, verifying identities.

• M1 Mini, M1E specialize in inference — running vision, voice, and multimodal models at the edge.

• LLM Gateways provide fallback for complex tasks — tapping into powerful H100/H200 GPU clusters.

It’s a symphony of AI at the edge — fast, modular, and human-centric.

We didn’t stop at performance. We built the incentives to scale:

• A token system that rewards real contribution.

• A regional mining mechanism that encourages global participation.

• DID integration to anchor trust and verifiability.

This is more than infrastructure. This is a movement.

iG3 is for the builders. The tinkerers. The believers in better.

If you’ve ever shouted “Hey AI!” and waited too long for a response, you’ll understand why iG3 needs to exist.

How iG3 Solves Problems

AI Task Score

The AI_TASK_SCORE measures a machine's performance in completing AI inference tasks during an epoch.

• task_weight_i : Importance/weight of task i (higher means more important).

• success_i : 1 if the task was completed successfully, 0 if failed.

• TASK_WEIGHT_NORM : Normalization constant (default: 10) to cap the score boost at +1.0.

Weighted Scoring Algorithm for Selecting Machines

This part chooses which machine gets the next AI inference task, based on three main factors:

• Stake Score: How much $TOPS the machine has staked (more stake = higher trust/reputation).

• Uptime Score: How consistently the machine has been online.

• Latency Score: How fast the machine responds (lower latency = better).

• Normalization: Converts raw values to the 0–1 range so they’re comparable

• Latency adjustment: We use (1 – normalized_latency) . So lower latency = higher score.

• w_stake, w_uptime, w_latency: Adjustable weights for different strategies (e.g., if real-time inference is critical, increase w_latency)

Selection Strategy: Top K + Probabilistic Sampling

• Calculate final_score for all machines.

• Pick Top K machines with the highest scores.

• Calculate selection probabilities

• Randomly select 1 machine based on these probabilities.

The Staking Mechanism in the iG3 - The Edge Network for Real-Time AI Interactions is fundamental to maintaining network security, stability, and integrity. By participating in staking, token holders contribute to the network’s operational efficiency and consensus, in return for rewards.

This mechanism aligns the interests of participants with the overall health and performance of the iG3 ecosystem.

How staking works in the iG3 Ecosystem (at TGE)

The staking process involves committing your TOPS tokens to a smart contract tied to a specific M1 device. These staked tokens act as collateral, incentivizing honest behavior.

Here’s how it works:

• Device Required: You must own and operate at least one M1 Edge Device to be eligible for staking.

• Token Commitment: Users lock a specified amount of TOPS tokens to the wallet linked with an M1 device.

• Uptime Matters: The longer your device stays online and contributes to the network, the more rewards you earn.

• Auto-Reinvest Option: Users can opt in to automatically boost their staking rewards.

Once staked, your tokens will start contributing to the BONUS_REWARD pool depending on your STAKING_WEIGHT.

Staking’s role in Reward Calculation

Staking directly affects the BONUS_REWARD component of your total epoch rewards. STAKING_WEIGHT is calculated as:

Where:

• DEVICE_STAKING: Amount of TOPS tokens staked on a specific M1 device.

• TOTAL_STAKING: Total TOPS tokens staked across the network.

• WEIGHT: Weighting function, using an exponent of 0.8 (f(x)^0.8) to normalize the distribution.

BONUS_REWARD is then calculated as:

Where:

• BONUS_REWARD: The reward allocated for devices with staking, sourced from the EPOCH_POOL

• EPOUCH_POOL: The total amount of $TOPS allocated for BONUS_REWARD in each epoch.

• STAKING_WEIGHT

Benefits of staking in iG3 Ecosystem

• Passive Income: Earn TOPS rewards proportional to your staking weight.

• Network Contribution: Staking supports AI agent operations running on the decentralized edge.

• Hardware-Linked: Ties your stake to real compute power on your own device.

• Reinvestment Option: Auto-compound feature allows flexible % reinvest strategy.

Risks and Considerations

Lock-up Periods:

• Users may unstake at any time.

• Upon unstaking, your staking amount is immediately set to 0 and you will not earn BONUS_REWARD for the running epoch.

• The unstaked tokens will be withdrawable after a 7-day unbonding period.

• You can only have 01 unstaking request per wallet at a time, but you can unstake from multiple devices simultaneously. You can also cancel your unstaking request if you change your mind. Once you cancel and submit another request, the unbonding period starts over.

Market Volatility: The value of your staked TOPS may change due to market conditions.

Getting started with staking

To begin staking your TOPS tokens:

1. Get an M1 Device: Required to access the staking dashboard.

2. Set Up Wallet: Use the same wallet linked to your M1 device.

3. Access the Staking Dashboard: Log in via using the wallet address connected to your M1.

4. Stake Your Tokens: Choose your staking amount, set reinvest options, and confirm the transaction.

You’re now earning rewards based on your uptime and staking weight!

The reward mechanism governs how rewards are distributed to edge nodes in each epoch. An epoch is defined as a one-week period starting from Thursday at 02:00 UTC and ending the following Thursday at 02:00 UTC. The TOPS token reward system is designed to encourage high performance, distributed, and honest behavior across edge device operators.

It combines both deterministic and performance based components to incentivize optimal behavior.

🛠 Base Reward Pool

• BASE_REWARD: Static reward allocated per epoch.

• : Float (0–1) indicating the percentage of time the node was online.

• : Numeric multiplier based on device tier.

Ensures fair distribution based on device availability and hardware contribution.

🎯 Bonus Reward Pool

• EPOCH_POOL: Dynamic bonus pool assigned for the epoch.

• STAKING_WEIGHT: Ratio of tokens staked on a device relative to others.

• : Performance-based score derived from completed AI tasks.

Rewards behavior that improves network quality: staking, compute contribution, and geographic decentralization.

⚠️ Reward Payout

• Reward payouts are weekly, every Thursday AFTER 2:00 AM UTC once the epoch ends.

• Payout times vary by device, so check your device screen for your specific reward receive date and time.

To participate in the iG3 Ecosystem, you'll need $TOPS. There are 3 main ways to get started:
