API Gateway

The Morpheus Compute Marketplace is currently in Open Beta, available at openbeta.mor.org. This stage is focused on testing, iteration, and feedback. The marketplace is already functional: providers can register models, and consumers can access them through the API Gateway or by running their own Proxy-Router. The Compute Node contracts on Arbitrum manage the session lifecycle, while encrypted links carry inference requests directly from consumer to provider.

The technical flow can be summarized as:

  1. A consumer makes an inference request.

  2. The Consumer Proxy-Router queries the Compute Node to find a provider.

  3. A session is established and encrypted link created.

  4. Requests are sent directly between consumer and provider, with usage recorded on-chain.

During Open Beta, the API Gateway offers free access with simple API keys. This allows developers to experiment without needing to stake MOR, and it enables users to test different client apps or integrations. Providers can configure their models-config file, expose local endpoints (such as localhost:8000), or route to external APIs. They are compensated either directly by consumers or through emissions from the Compute bucket when staking is used for access.

Why Join the Beta

  • Developers can experiment with decentralized compute without staking MOR yet.

  • Providers can test performance, reliability, and compensation models.

  • Builders can create integrations and apps on top of the system before the full launch.

As Open Beta progresses, access will shift from free API keys toward MOR staking for entry. The provider rating system will expand, ensuring that high-performing providers are matched more often. More apps and integrations will appear, and enterprise users will gain the ability to run fully independent deployments.

This is the moment to get involved: test the system, host a model, build an integration, or explore how decentralized compute fits into your workflow.

Everything you do during Open Beta helps shape the future of Morpheus.
