Why KIRA?
KIRA is the next evolution of distributed, verifiable cloud computing that powers trustless, blockchain-less applications
KIRA offers the simplicity of Web2-style deployments in Docker containers, combined with the decentralized advantages of Web3. Its Virtual Finality Gadget (VFG) supports custom finality for both deterministic and non-deterministic verifiable applications, enabling advanced use cases like AI, streaming, and gaming. Developers can rely on flexible resource allocations (CPU, GPU, etc.) managed by Consensus nodes while choosing any programming language they prefer. The decentralized API (INTERX) removes dependence on external providers for RPC, execution, or data availability. KIRA’s hypermodular design includes out-of-the-box support for sequencing, data availability, hosting, proxy, load balancing, and more, allowing developers to focus solely on application logic.
KIRA puts accessibility and security first, letting users become Fishermen (Verifiers) for their chosen RollApps with minimal hardware cost. They can set custom auditing rules or adopt developer defaults, ensuring robust protection against exploits. All RollApps benefit from base-layer security, and the Initial Liquidity Offering model guarantees sufficient token liquidity to meet user demand. KIRA’s native Liquid Staking Derivatives keep tokens fluid while participating in restaking, matching external network security levels. This design aligns incentives among all stakeholders, fostering high-quality RollApps and a thriving ecosystem geared toward long-term growth.
KIRA gives node operators a flexible, accessible system, letting them select which RollApps to support and scale resources to meet specific needs. They can participate from minimal home setups to more resource-intensive, high-yield operations. The RYOKAI DevOps solution simplifies operations by automating many tasks, lowering the technical barrier of entry. The hypermodular design includes out-of-the-box support for middleware (INTERX), proxying, caching, autoscaling, and infrastructure management. With modest hardware requirements, operators can bolster KIRA’s security and growth while maximizing network decentralization.
