Bless is constructing a shared computer designed for the AI age, utilizing ordinary devices to provide power. The project operates on the belief that data and compute form two essential foundations for a future integrated with AI. At present, data brokers and cloud platforms act as intermediaries that seize the majority of value, which leads to increasing inequality. Bless reverses this dynamic by granting individuals greater authority over their device outputs and AI interactions. The network is currently in its beta phase, meaning users should anticipate regular enhancements as the team expands both the features and the scale of the network.

Butian Li, Michael Chen, and Liam Zhang founded Bless in San Francisco in 2022, originally under the name Blockless. The founding team possesses expertise in decentralized computing, venture investment, and blockchain research from leading institutions such as NGC Ventures and Binance.

Bless AI: This suite of products aims to provide users with genuine ownership and control during the AI era.

Currently, the focus is on two primary offerings:

• AI Answer Verification: This feature cross-references AI outputs using multiple models, identifies contradictions or low-confidence statements, and displays sources to help distinguish factual information from guesses.

• Context and Identity Control: This allows you to manage what data you share and with whom, while enabling the transfer of AI context between tools so you do not have to start over repeatedly.

Bless Compute: This component leverages idle resources from your device, such as CPU power, time, and availability, to execute workloads in a secure manner.

• Dynamic Resource Matching – Tasks are automatically assigned to devices that are most appropriate for the specific workload.

• Randomized Distribution – Greco-Latin square schemes are employed to mitigate collusion and malicious behavior.

• WebAssembly (WASM) Secure Run-time – Strong isolation is provided for task execution, safeguarding both applications and devices.

• Dynamic Verification – Modular consensus mechanisms adjust to computational requirements, ensuring flexibility and failover in under a second.

Collectively, these technologies enhance security, efficiency, and resilience, while lowering costs substantially relative to traditional cloud infrastructure.

Bless utilizes a Proof of Stake framework. Individuals who operate nodes by sharing their device capacity are allocated 90% of the revenue generated from services. This structure is designed to incentivize involvement, uphold network security, and promote long-term sustainability. The system does not require specialized equipment; everyday consumer devices are eligible to participate and generate rewards, thereby expanding access to distributed computing resources.

Bless has shown substantial uptake since it began. Over 5 million nodes took part in its testnet, offering initial proof for the idea of a shared computer driven by common devices.
