LinqAI

What is LinqAI?

LinqAI runs LinqProtocol, a marketplace that connects developers with compute providers such as data centers, GPU clusters, edge operators and individual hardware owners. You pick one of 50+ templates or bring your own container, set resources, and fund an on-chain escrow in the LNQ token, and the orchestrator matches your workload to a provider on standard Kubernetes. Templates include Open WebUI for LLM chat, Wekan, Uptime Kuma, ERPNext and Metabase, and the vendor also offers Aura Code, an AI-assisted cloud development environment with Docker sandboxes and framework scaffolding. Pricing is per resource with no egress fees, and the vendor compares its rates with AWS, GCP and Azure. Pre-configured instances are Spark at $6 a month, Forge at $26 a month and Titan at $52 a month, paid in LNQ. There is no free tier at present, and enterprises can arrange volume discounts or fiat payment through OTC arrangements.

Use cases

• Host an LLM chat interface such as Open WebUI
• Run CI/CD runners on lower-cost compute
• Deploy containers on Kubernetes
• Run ML inference workloads
• Spin up AI-assisted development sandboxes
• Host monitoring and analytics stacks
• Sell spare compute as a provider

Who it's for

• Developers
• Startups
• Compute providers
• Enterprise infrastructure teams

Why use LinqAI

• Published per-resource and per-instance rates are lower than the AWS, GCP and Azure rates the vendor compares against.
• Egress bandwidth, TLS and logging are included rather than billed separately.
• Standard Kubernetes and containers mean workloads can move to other providers.
• Escrow holds funds on-chain until a provider delivers, and unused funds return to your wallet.

How to get started with LinqAI

1. Browse templates or bring your own container and set environment variables and a resource tier.
2. Connect a wallet and fund an escrow with LNQ for the deployment.
3. The orchestrator matches your workload with a provider from the registry.
4. Monitor the app through its endpoint, logs and metrics in the dashboard.

LinqAI limitations

• Payment is in the LNQ token through a crypto wallet; fiat is offered through OTC arrangements for enterprises
• No free tier at present
• Compliance certifications are still being worked on
• If an escrow expires, the deployment stops until you fund a new one
