Model Pool

• What is it?

  • An onchain smart contract on the Base network (testnet)

• Why is it important?

  • The model pool is the central model registry in the Reppo protocol

  • It allows model developers to claim ownership for their models, and to set model execution pricing and model IP terms of use

  • Customer facing applications are built on top of the model pool to serve model customer needs

  • Keeps track of model usage so that modelers can build reputation

• Responsibilities:

  • manages model metadata

  • has a function to trigger inference on a model

  • handles payments

  • contains a mapping of model to model-specific contract

  • maintains modeler reputation

• What it needs to do:

  • Authenticate a modeler using their Reppo account (blockchain account)

  • Establish model ownership when a model developer uploads their model assets to the pool

  • Assign a unique content identify to each model, and track usage and ratings in order to establish model and model developer reputation

  • Provide the instructions for model execution request/delivery, including payment instructions

  • Specify licensing, royalties, and other restrictions placed on the model IP

  • Enables verification of model development and execution, including data training provenance proofs and execution proofs
