The Decentralized Operating System

Think of Proto Layer as a worldwide network of computers working together to run apps, store data, and execute code—without depending on a central authority.

It gives users instant access to remote servers, storage, and software, as easily as opening an app. And here’s the best part: everything lives on the blockchain.

Through our unified interface, the Virtual Desktop, you can access any Proto Layer service. Manage dApps, co-chains, and assets all in one familiar place.

Proto Layer is built on three core services: compute, storage, and access. That’s the base layer—everything else grows from there.

Compute

Need extra processing power to train an AI model? Launch compute jobs from anywhere—no long-term contracts, no centralized cloud accounts.

Just open the Virtual Desktop, submit your task, and the network takes care of everything.

You pay only for what you use, and the contributors who complete the job earn $UGP, with every transaction recorded on-chain.

Storage

Upload a file. Store a dataset. Host your dApp. Storage on Proto Layer is encrypted, decentralized, and distributed across the network.

You choose how long it stays online, the level of redundancy, and what you’re willing to pay. No gatekeepers. No surprise monthly fees.

Access

Secure, remote access is built in. Whether you’re managing co-chains, logging into apps, or connecting to physical devices, Proto Layer handles permissions directly on-chain.

Every session, login, and interaction is tracked and verified—no third party required. It’s like plugging into a global AWS, but one that’s open, decentralized, and powered by real people instead of corporate data centers.

And because it’s all handled by smart contracts, you can verify every action. Every job. Every payout. Nothing happens off-chain. Nothing gets swept under the rug.

Just real utility, delivered by a network you can trust.
