◈Ombra Chat← Back to chat

How it works

Ombra Chat is a thin client over the OmbraChain decentralized AI compute pool. Unlike ChatGPT (which talks to OpenAI servers) or Claude.ai (Anthropic servers), every message you send here is submitted as a TASK_SUBMIT transaction on a real blockchain.

What happens when you send a message

  1. 1. Submit — Your message becomes a TASK_SUBMIT tx broadcast to OmbraChain mainnet.
  2. 2. Mempool — Real miners watching the mempool pick up the task. The first available miner with chat capability processes it.
  3. 3. AI processing — The miner runs your prompt through their backend (Claude, GPT-4, Llama via Ollama, etc.) — whatever they have configured.
  4. 4. Response — Miner submits TASK_RESPONSE tx with the AI output. You see it appear in the UI.
  5. 5. Reward — A validator scores the response, distributes TASK_REWARD: 70% miner, 25% burn, 5% validator.

Pricing

  • 1 free test message per IP (200 chars max). We cover the fee from a server wallet.
  • After that: connect Ombra Wallet browser extension. Each message costs ~0.05 OMBRA (≈ $0.01) at current prices.

Why blockchain for AI chat?

Three reasons:

  • Verifiable — Every prompt, response, and reward is on-chain. Auditable, immutable.
  • Permissionless — No account, no API key, no provider lock-in. Just connect a wallet.
  • Open compute — Anyone can become a miner and earn OMBRA by serving AI requests. Mining is just: install miner-node, configure an AI backend, start earning.
