Data

Decentralized Inference Provider Tracker

Every decentralized and private inference provider — sourced, dated, and verification-graded. Also available as JSON API and bulk download.

Every provider

17 providers · 0 verified/partially-verified · filterable

One record per provider project. Filter by category, tier, verification status or privacy mechanism; every row links to that provider's sourced change log.

About this dataset

The Decentralized Inference Provider Tracker follows every decentralized, private, and open inference provider we can find — what they offer, which models they serve, how they handle privacy, and how much traffic they actually carry. Every figure is graded: we mark what we've independently verified (by hitting the API, checking on-chain data, or validating an attestation) separately from what a project only claims about itself. We check the whole list every week — including scanning X for each project's latest updates — but nothing a project says about itself becomes "verified" until we can confirm it independently. Morpheus, which powers this publication, is tracked and graded on exactly the same terms as every other provider.

Verification grades

GradeBarExample
VerifiedWe reproduced it, or ≥2 independent authoritative sources agree. Direct API probe, on-chain data, or a checkable attestation."OpenAI-compatible endpoint live" (we hit it); "serves model X" (enumerated it)
CorroboratedOne strong independent source beyond the project itself (e.g. OpenRouter leaderboard), but not fully reproduced by us."ranked top-N on OpenRouter"
ClaimedOnly the project (or its community) asserts it; plausible but unchecked. Volume, ARR, most privacy claims."55B tokens/day", "prompts invisible to operators"
UnverifiedSeeded from a single mention; awaiting the verification pass.a newly-surfaced project
DisputedIndependent evidence contradicts the claim, or two sources conflict.claimed "live" but endpoint returns errors on probe
N/AThe field does not apply to this provider.on-chain integrity flag for a non-tokenized provider

A claim never self-promotes by repetition: ten posts on X saying "100B tokens/day" is still claimed. Only an independent check moves the grade. Absence-claims (zero-retention, "operators can't see prompts") cannot be verified from a policy statement alone — they need cryptographic or attestation evidence, or they stay claimed.
