Capacity becomes collective capability.
The idea is simple: contribute what is otherwise sitting idle, measure what was given, and return that value to the community.
Contribute
Lend available GPU cycles to a defined project in the shared pool.
Recognize
Your verified contribution is credited as ASCEND—a measure of what you gave, not a currency.
Redeem
Use that recognition during periodic releases of ASCEND pieces. It is never converted to cash.
