Concepts

Pangea Network is the first permissionless orchestration layer built for AI and blockchain, representing a significant evolution from the original Pangea technology. It fundamentally reimagines utility networks by establishing quality of service through incentivsed competition. This allows users to access top-performing Validators, with the network's capacity dynamically scaling to meet demand. Validators compete for rewards, guaranteeing optimal performance, while Guardians ensure network security and reliability.

The core technology behind Pangea Network's flagship streaming capabilities – delivering fully indexed blockchain data to the end user in under 100ms – is now leveraged to orchestrate a unified package of resources. This includes RPC, indexed data, aggregated data, and AI inference, providing users with a robust and resilient infrastructure they can rely on and own. Pangea Network aggregates the best resource providers to deliver a level of quality previously unattainable. For example, our network outperforms RPC on local deployments of client nodes, limited only by the users network connection.

Key Participants

Validators

Resource providers who stake tokens and operate infrastructure to service computing resource slots. They earn revenue from network fees.

Guardians

Security monitors who ensure validator quality of service through continuous performance monitoring across all resource types. They earn rewards when validators fall below the 95th percentile performance threshold. Guardians assure network security standards are met.

Protocol & DAO Treasury

The DAO manages the funds to invest in the network with the aim to increase network fees. The Protocol will automatically help to stabilise the price by collecting a protocol fee from the overall network fees and balancing a buy-back and lock mechanism to be later invested or burnt by vote. This creates natural price support that offsets selling pressure while removing tokens from circulation. As network usage increases, the treasury will remove liquid tokens.

Sponsors and Users

Sponsors are the demand-side customers who drive the network's economic engine by paying monthly slot rent and gas tank top ups for computing resources including RPC services, blockchain indexing, and AI inference capabilities. They are mostly chains and protocols who demand backend services with high QoS. Sponsors expect high performance standards and their satisfaction directly impacts validator revenue, creating natural quality enforcement without centralised oversight. As the network's customers, sponsors benefit from anti-fragile reliability, competitive pricing through validator competition, transparent performance monitoring, and flexible scaling options, while their growing demand drives the self-reinforcing flywheel where more sponsors attract more validators and improve service quality. If a user demands full soverignty over network utility they can choose to pay directly or self host.

Core Mechanisms

Slots & Sponsorship

Sponsors pay monthly rent for computing resource slots including RPC endpoints, blockchain indexing services, and AI inference capacity. In addition to slot rent, end users pay for actual resource consumption unless sponsors choose to subsidise usage by topping up a "gas tank" that can partially or fully cover end-user costs. This dual-payment model allows sponsors to control their exposure while enabling flexible monetisation strategies - from pure pay-per-use models to fully subsidised experiences. The gas tank mechanism creates convenience by attracting users through various subsidy levels.

Resource Orchestration

The network intelligently coordinates distributed computing resources, matching sponsor demand with validator capacity across multiple service types. Validators can specialise in specific resources or provide hybrid services to maximise their revenue potential.

Revenue Share Model

Slot revenue is split between validators and DAO treasury. Validators receive proportional shares based on their stake weight and slot assignments across RPC, indexing, and AI inference services, while the DAO funds the automatic buy-back and lock mechanism that supports token value.

Performance Incentive System

Quality-based revenue model where validators maintaining a target of say 95th percentile performance standards across their service offerings receive full earnings potential. Those operating below this threshold receive a performance discount on their revenue share. This is equivalent to slashing in other networks, but works retroactively to discount future revenues should QoS fall below the threshold. This creates a natural 5% revenue variance that rewards operational excellence while maintaining realistic performance expectations.

Buy-Back and Lock

The Protocol automatically balances the purchase of tokens from the market and locks them, reducing circulating supply. This creates deflationary pressure while providing ongoing price support against market volatility.
