Own the means of computation.
The compute behind AI, and the value it creates, is concentrating in a handful of companies. Citrate lets people produce it instead. Pool the machines you already own, do verified work with a group you trust, and share what it earns. Your keys and data never leave your device. $48 a year.
One orchard. Three things you can do in it.
Plant
One download turns a normal computer into a full node: the chain, a local AI model, encrypted group messaging, and your files, all on your machine. $48 a year stakes your membership on your behalf. Memberships can be gifted.
Plant your nodeGrow
Point your coding agent at your node and ship an app on the network. The APIs match what your agent already knows, so the first build is a prompt, not a migration. Every action your agent takes passes through your approval. Apps run on your machine and can join an apps grove.
Ship your first appShare
Form a grove with people you trust. Pool compute for storage, training, inference, or apps. Each epoch the grove is scored on verified work, and the whole roster shares the reward. Stake settles in SALT now; cash settlement arrives at mainnet in Q2 2027.
How groves are scoredBuilt, benchmarked, and running.
These numbers are checked into source and reproducible. The code, contracts, and specs are public — every number is verifiable directly.
Nothing signs without you.
Every signature, yours or your agent’s, passes through one approval step on your device. Keys never leave the machine. Group messages are end-to-end encrypted and the relay only ever sees ciphertext. Sign in on any Mac with your wallet and your groves are waiting.
How the Signature Ceremony worksAI does not have to belong to four companies.
The compute that trains everyone’s models sits in a handful of buildings. Citrate spreads it across the machines that already exist, in homes, offices, schools, and hospitals, and pays the people who own them for verified work. The ledger is public enough that a regulator can check it and find nothing hidden.
