Learn about modules on Lilypad
Lilypad is a three-sided marketplace between Module Creators, Job Creators, and Resource Providers.
Lilypad modules are the compute jobs that are run on the Lilypad network of Resource Provider nodes. Lilypad nodes are set up to run GPU compute jobs such as AI inference, and can be used for other GPU-intensive tasks.
There are two ways that participants in the network can interact with Lilypad Modules: As Job Creators who run modules, or as Module Creators who create modules.
Running Jobs (participating as a 'Job Creator') is just a few simple steps. You can get going in less than 15 minutes:
Install the CLI or use the API (Coming Soon!)
Set up a Metamask Wallet then Fund your wallet with Lilypad tokens to run the jobs and get Arbitrum Sepolia Testnet ETH from one of the many faucets for network gas fees to execute jobs.
Choose a module to run, and send the job request
There is a basic example cowsay module you can run, or try out some of the Lilypad team-supported modules:
Additional modules from the community are available in the awesome-lilypad repo
Modules can be developed by any member of the community (participating as a 'Module Creator'). If there is an AI model (or other compute job) you wish to run using the Lilypad Network resources, you can simply:
Containerize your module
Create a Lilypad Config File
Test your modules
