Network architecture
One cloud, built from many sites.
Modular hubs for heavy AI training, edge nodes close to users, and an on-chain control plane that makes them behave like a single cloud.
Heavy lifting at the hub. Speed at the edge.
Regional hubs
Prefabricated modules, each with its own racks, cooling and power distribution, assembled like building blocks. A 10 MW site might be five 2 MW modules; a campus can grow past 100 MW by adding more.
- Thousands of high-end GPUs per campus
- InfiniBand or NVLink-class interconnect
- Fibre backbone between hubs
- No master hub; peers fail over to each other
Edge nodes
Facilities under 1 MW, down to tens of kilowatts, placed in telecom exchanges, beside cell towers or in rugged container units.
Edge AI inference for smart cities
AR and VR rendering
IoT data processing
Caching models and content
The stack
Five layers between a request and a rack.
Open-source tooling where it exists, SBX software where it does not.
Interfaces
Portal and APIs that feel familiar: Kubernetes-compatible deployment and S3-style storage, so teams can move from AWS or Azure with minimal changes.
Orchestration
Kubernetes at each site, a global SBX scheduler above it, and frameworks such as Ray for multi-node AI jobs.
AI operations
Models predict load, spot idle servers, power-cap or consolidate workloads and relocate jobs to cut latency and cost.
Blockchain control plane
Sites register capacity, location and energy mix on-chain. Smart contracts match demand to supply and settle payment. High-throughput chains and a dedicated app-chain are under evaluation.
Physical sites
Operated hubs and distributed edge nodes, each paired with its own energy stack.
Security a CISO can sign off.
Decentralised does not mean unaccountable. The architecture layers cryptographic guarantees on top of conventional enterprise controls.
Zero-trust by default
Every user and node is authenticated. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest; workloads run only when contract and permissions verify.
Data sovereignty rules
If a client's data must stay in the EU, the scheduler only matches EU nodes. Policies are encoded, not promised.
Auditable by design
Which node ran which job, and whether it was paid correctly, is recorded on an immutable ledger.
Standards roadmap
Targeting SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance, with isolation through VMs, containers and confidential computing.
A network of networks, not a walled garden.
SBX GRID is designed to plug into decentralised storage such as Filecoin and Arweave, route overflow to compute markets like Akash or Render, and offer burst capacity to traditional clouds.
