Lilypad is developing a serverless, distributed compute network that enables internet-scale data processing, AI, ML & other arbitrary computation, while unleashing idle processing power & unlocking a new marketplace for compute.
Use Lilypad to run models including Stable Diffusion and Stable Diffusion Video, or add an AI model to run on the Lilypad Network. Seamlessly integrate models that require high-performance computing into applications and systems.

Overview
Lilypad is now at v3: Milky Way Testnet! 🎉 Try it out - we dare you 👨💻
Lilypad provides distributed computational services underpinned by the Bacalhau Project. The network provides infrastructure for use cases like AI inference, ML training, DeSci and more. Lilypad strategically collaborates with decentralized infrastructure networks, such as Filecoin, to formulate a transparent, efficient, and accessible computational ecosystem.
Perform off-chain decentralized compute over data, with on-chain guarantees. Call this functionality directly from a smart contract, CLI, and an easy to use abstraction layer.
The network is actively laying groundwork for multi-chain integration and the deployment of an incentivized testnet.
Find Lilypad on Github or visit the blog.
What is the Bacalhau Project?
Bacalhau is a peer to peer computation network enabling compute over data jobs like GPU-enabled AI, ML, analytics, data engineering, data science, de-sci and more. With the open-source Bacalhau Project, you can streamline your existing workflows without rewriting by running Docker containers and WebAssembly (WASM) images as tasks. This architecture is also referred to as Compute Over Data (or CoD).
To find out more about it, see the Bacalhau Docs!
Roadmap
Previous Versions of Lilypad
Lilypad v1
Lilypad v1 is deprecated
Lilypad v1 is a trustless distributed compute network which leverages Bacalhau and key features of blockchain to enable developers to call arbitrary verifiable compute jobs directly from their smart contracts (or a CLI). Running a node on the network to accept compute jobs is now also possible. Lilypad v1 is currently in early testnet phase and is a custom implementation of Modicum outlined in the paper: "Mechanisms for Outsourcing Computation via a Decentralized Market".
The Lilypad v1 testnet currently runs on an ETH localhost which is name Lalechuza. In future, Lilypad v1 will also run on other chains with the first target being IPC (an advanced scaling solution for blockchain that implements a subnet pattern).
Lilypad v0
Lilypad v0 is not actively maintained or supported
Lilypad (v0) currently enables users to access verifiable, distributed off-chain compute directly from smart contracts. Lilypad v0 is a Proof of Concept project operating as an integration layer between Bacalhau compute jobs and solidity smart contracts. This integration enables users to access verifiable off-chain decentralised compute from DApps and smart contract projects, enabling interactions and innovations between on-chain and off-chain compute. Lilypad v0 does not charge for compute jobs, outside of network running fees (ie. the cost of transactions on the blockchain network it is deployed to). It operates on the Bacalhau public compute network (which is free to use), though it is worth noting that there are no reliability guarantees given for this network (which is something future versions of this protocol will be working to improve\
