Terza Inference
One API key for models served by independent miners on a Bittensor subnet. Miners compete on price, reliability and quality; validators measure them; the network rewards useful supply.

How a request flows
- You call the gateway with your API key. Your balance is reserved for the maximum possible charge before anything is sent.
- The gateway picks an offer: the cheapest healthy offer for your model whose miner is approved, registered on the subnet and has a valid quote.
- The miner serves it through its own upstream. Every gateway request to a miner is signed, so miners only accept genuine traffic.
- The gateway settles from the miner’s usage receipt after checking it against what was actually delivered. Implausible receipts are rejected and you are not charged.
- Validators score miners with paid probes that look exactly like your requests, plus signed traffic statistics, and set weights on chain.
