LAYAIVoluntary participation
You choose whether to connect a computer and when to share its available resources. You can pause or stop sharing in the app, disconnect a device, or close your account. Android participation currently requires the app to remain open, with charging, battery, temperature and unmetered Wi-Fi safeguards. Use only a computer and account you are allowed to control. Participation does not require a purchase.
What the app does
When sharing is enabled, LAYAI Connect reports whether your device is available and may run a compatible, approved research task. The implemented task system supports bounded numerical work and model requests only where a suitable runtime has been explicitly configured. Tasks can use processor time, memory, network access and electricity. You set the available sharing controls in the app. A connected computer may receive no tasks at all.
The optional browser extension is a separate, lighter participation method. With your approval it reports connected status to LAYAI while Chrome is open. It does not run the desktop research tasks or use your idle bandwidth as a proxy. It does not read your browsing history or page content. You can pause or disconnect it at any time.
Accounts and records
Your LAYAI account connects your app, devices and contribution history. Keep your sign-in methods and device access secure. The service records readiness, check-ins and accepted task results according to the published contribution rules shown in the app. A returned result can be checked for correctness, but this alone does not prove where or how it was computed. The privacy page explains the account and device records and your export and closure controls.
Contribution points and planned airdrop
LAYAI plans a community airdrop when the reviewed claim system and funded token pool are ready. Contribution points are a record of participation. They are not tokens, money, a redeemable balance, or a guarantee of an individual token allocation. Desktop ready time earns 60 participation points per observed hour and browser connection time earns 5 per observed hour. Neither has a shorter daily time cap; a UTC day contains at most 24 actual hours. Check-ins remain one per UTC day; accepted research tasks earn once per validated result without a daily point cap. Multiple browsers on one account do not multiply that time; browser points do not stack while the desktop app is ready and do not unlock the desktop daily check-in or referral qualification. Offline time, a closed browser, and gaps between connection checks are not credited. Fraudulent or duplicate activity may be rejected. The qualifying period, eligibility, allocation and claim terms will be published before the qualifying campaign begins. No presale or token purchase is offered through LAYAI Connect.
Invitations
Each account has a personal invitation link. It only applies to a new account created through that link. A click or registration alone earns no points. The invited member must connect a Google or EVM wallet identity within 30 days of registration, check in on three separate days spanning at least 48 hours, and accumulate at least three hours of observed ready time on those days. An accepted research task alone does not qualify an invitation. Once qualified, the inviter receives 50 participation points and the new member receives 25. An inviter may earn at most five such bonuses per calendar month and 20 over the account lifetime.
During the invited member's first 30 days, the inviter may also receive 10% of that member's accepted research-task points earned after qualification. This share is limited to 100 points per invited member and 50 points per day across invitations; it is never taken out of the invited member's points. Rejected tasks, idle time, purchases and further invitations do not generate a share. The programme is one level only. Duplicate or self-controlled accounts may be excluded from a later reward-eligibility review. Invitation points do not create a token claim or a promise of income.
Research stage
LAYAI is testing whether community computers can support useful AI research. The current implementation does not establish that a larger model can already be run across independent devices or that a particular research result will be achieved. Service interruptions, missing tasks and changes to available research tasks are possible. Material changes to participation rules will be described on the site or in the app.
