Definition ∞ A compute marketplace is a platform facilitating the buying and selling of computational resources. Participants can offer their unused processing power or acquire necessary compute capacity for various tasks. These marketplaces often leverage distributed networks to aggregate and allocate resources efficiently.
Context ∞ Decentralized compute marketplaces are gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem, offering an alternative to centralized cloud providers for AI training, data processing, and other intensive tasks. These platforms aim to provide more censorship-resistant and cost-effective computing power. A central consideration involves ensuring the reliability, security, and verifiable execution of computations in a trustless environment.
