TaskQ turns raw infrastructure into policy-addressable AI execution capacity. Workers register, attest, heartbeat, lease, execute, sign, and settle through a proof-backed control plane.
Customers do not buy random machines. They buy policy outcomes: where work may run, which trust tier is valid, what custody class is allowed, and whether the worker is healthy enough to lease.
Operators onboard with identity, payout, worker keys, and evidence. Production capacity is earned, not self-declared.
Workers heartbeat with signed status. Health, slots, error rate, price, and attestation expiry affect placement.
Every lease, job, artifact, usage block, and settlement line binds back to HashIQ chain evidence.
Workers do not appear in production because someone filled out a form. They prove control of a signing key, bind to an operator, attach evidence, enter probation, and build trust through live execution history.
Operator creates a worker signing key and submits registration intent.
Registry issues a nonce. Worker signs it with the HashIQ key.
Jurisdiction, custody, certifications, and operator identity are attached and reviewed.
Worker starts limited, then earns broader placement through health, settlement, and audit history.
Operator capacity starts with narrow access and earns higher-value placement through stronger evidence, audits, health history, and settlement performance.
| Tier | Scope | Use |
|---|---|---|
| self | Self-asserted claims | Sandbox, demos, or non-sensitive test capacity only. |
| evidence | Reviewed documentation | Documents, telemetry, contracts, or operational proof attached and reviewed. |
| audited | Formal review | Regulated production and sensitive custody placement. |
| TEE | Hardware-backed attestation | Confidential execution for the strongest custody policies. |
The operator API stays focused: prove identity, advertise state, accept leases, report terminal status, and reconcile payout.

The first operators are not random GPU owners. They are infrastructure teams with real locations, network quality, uptime discipline, jurisdictional value, or private customer relationships.
Canada, EU, APAC, Africa, and private regional capacity where buyers care where work executes.
Inference nodes and agentic workers become policy-addressable, proof-backed supply.
Enterprises can expose private workers to TaskQ control without giving up their boundary.
Bring workers. TaskQ brings policy, placement, proof, leases, billing, settlement, and customer trust.
