Orogen is a decentralized network for verifiable LLM inference. The gateway exposes an OpenAI-compatible API; requests route to GPU operators whose hardware and binary are TEE-attested; validators replay a sample of those inferences on independent hardware and slash mismatches on chain. Customers pay USD or stablecoin; the gateway burns OROG at the oracle TWAP and credits the customer in non-transferable Compute Unit Credits (CUC); operators serve inference and receive per-job settlement, capped by a 180-day rolling burn-cap and a 5%/year supply ceiling.
That is the whole loop. Every section below drills into one part of it.
In this section
- Architecture summary — the chain, the off-chain services, the verification stack, and the tokenomics in one ASCII diagram and a short table.
- Roadmap — the seven-phase plan from local implementation work through Forge readiness, audits, mainnet TGE, and Phase-3 federated post-training.
- Forge testnet — the live public testnet: endpoint table, how to get testnet OROG, and the test-mode caveats.
Pick a path by role
| Role | Where to go |
|---|---|
| Customers — app builders, LLM consumers | /customers/ |
| Operators — GPU owners across six tiers | /operators/ |
| Validators — replay node operators, stakers | /validators/ |
| Protocol readers — engineers, researchers | /protocol/ and the RFCs |
| Protocol governance | /tokenomics/ and /governance/ |
| Adapter authors (LoRA publishing with royalties) | /protocol/ — adapter pallet coverage tracks RFC-0011 |
Current Status
- Forge testnet is live and open to outside operators. The public endpoints (chain RPC, gateway, attestation, indexer, faucet) are listed on the Forge testnet page. Treat them as a test-mode preview: the gateway runs in test mode, attestation uses mock quotes, and the faucet is low-cap.
- Local split-repo gate is green. The source tree has local unit/lint/build coverage; you can also run the whole stack locally.
- SDKs are development packages. They are not on PyPI/npm yet — install from source for now. See Downloads.
- Mainnet TGE is gated. Multi-validator Forge operation, audits, live chaos drills, release CI, and legal/foundation readiness all need to close first.
If something here contradicts the canonical RFC, the RFC wins. Open an issue on the relevant repo under github.com/orogen-network or use the "Edit this page" link at the bottom of any docs page.
