Re-examining the DeepNode project, its ability to attract attention in the AI infrastructure track hinges on several interesting judgments.

The project's positioning is very clear—building a decentralized AI infrastructure network. It’s not simply selling computing power, but tightly integrating participant contributions, verification rights, and rewards through the PoWR mechanism. The key to this mechanism design is that it combines computing power, models, inference, and verification into a measurable and traceable ecosystem.

From a technical route perspective, the choice to deploy on the Base chain is also very interesting—this reflects the team’s practical considerations regarding ecosystem liquidity and user base. It’s not just about slogans, but about supporting the entire architecture with concrete on-chain choices. The consistency from mechanism design to execution route is worth paying attention to.
