ReivolQuestions
What can I run on Reivol?
Two task templates: a fixed-point fractal render and a uint32 matrix multiply, each at most 16,384 result bytes. Reivol does not run arbitrary AI workloads. Machine-learning inference and other task types are planned, and only after each one has a check that works.
Why so small?
Every value in a result must be provable on chain. The contract recomputes one value in a dispute, and the result bytes are sent again with it, so results are kept to a size the chain handles cheaply.
How do I know the result is right?
Your browser checks it before you accept: recomputed tiles for a fractal, Freivalds' algorithm for a matrix. Both use the same integer code as the contract, so any mismatch the check finds is a mismatch the contract confirms.
Who decides a dispute?
Nobody decides disputes. A requester wins only by naming one value the contract recomputes and finds wrong; otherwise the provider is paid when the check window closes. There is no arbiter and no admin.
What if the provider disconnects?
If a provider disconnects after claiming, nothing is lost for the requester: when the run window ends, anyone can close the job and the price plus the provider's bond go back to the requester.
What if I, the requester, never answer?
The provider is paid after the check window closes; anyone can trigger it. Check within the window.
Why integers and not floats?
Jobs use integer arithmetic only. Floating-point results can differ between GPUs (fused multiply-add, rounding), so a float result could not be checked bit for bit; the provider page measures that difference on your own GPU.
What do I need to provide a GPU?
Providers run tasks in a browser tab with WebGPU. No install. The tab must stay open while a job runs, and each on-chain step is a wallet signature. A recent Chrome or Edge on a computer with a graphics card works; Safari 26 has WebGPU too. Phones are not supported for providing.
Will I earn money with my GPU?
No income is promised. What a provider earns depends on jobs posted, the price set, the GPU, and the electricity it uses.
Do I need the token?
No token is needed to post, run, check or dispute a job. Everything is paid in ETH.
Is the contract safe?
ReivolJobBoard is new code that holds ETH in escrow. It has not had an independent security review. It needs one before real volumes; until then use small amounts. The rules page lists what the tests cover.
Does Reivol hold my funds?
Reivol has no server-side wallet and no admin key. The job board contract holds each live job's escrow until the job closes; payouts are credits each wallet withdraws itself.
Is any of this private?
No. Addresses, parameters, prices, times and results are all public on Robinhood Chain.
