Powering the Backbone of Decentralized Compute

The Provider API is the core interface between Skyops nodes and the broader protocol. It enables secure, real-time communication between hardware contributors (GPU node operators) and the Skyops task orchestration layer, ensuring seamless coordination, monitoring and reward tracking.

🧩 Key System Components

📡 Provider API

• Role: Connects decentralized GPU nodes to the Skyops scheduler and reputation engine.

• Core Functions:

  • Node registration

  • Heartbeat signals

  • Task receipt and status updates

  • Result verification and reporting

  • Reward claim confirmation

Every active node communicates with the protocol exclusively through this secure, stateless API layer.

🖥️ Frontend Portal (app.skyopslabs.ai)

• Web interface for users and providers

• Supports wallet connection, task submission, earnings tracking and node management

• Fully synchronized with Provider API and Skyops Chain via Web3 authentication

🤖 Skyops Telegram Assistant

• Optional messaging interface for live task notifications, uptime alerts, reward pings and status reports

• Powered by a secure backend bridge to the Provider API and event listeners

• Useful for headless node operators or rapid uptime alerts via mobile

🗄 Unified Data Fabric

• Skyops Graph DB: Handles persistent storage of node metadata, task history and execution metrics

• In-Memory Sync: Redis + gRPC event streams power real-time state transitions across all components

🔄 Event Flow Example

1. Node starts → Authenticates via Provider API

2. Node heartbeat → Confirms uptime every 10s

3. Task assigned → Smart contract triggers a job; Provider API relays job specs

4. Execution status updated → Node streams task logs + completion hash

5. Rewards triggered → Verified jobs initiate on-chain payout logic

6. Frontend + Telegram → Both receive real-time updates via pub/sub messaging

🔐 API-Level Security

• JWT-based scoped auth with node-specific secrets

• Rate-limiting and anti-spoofing logic

• Full audit logs for all node actions

• Encrypted payloads for sensitive fields (keys, task content)

The Provider API ensures every Skyops node is visible, trusted and fairly rewarded — while abstracting away protocol complexity for node operators. It’s the invisible engine driving the decentralized compute layer.
