Participate.

The network has three roles. Pick whichever makes sense.

Submit a receipt

Put something on the network right now.

This script generates an Ed25519 keypair, builds a receipt, signs a transfer, and submits it to a live log server. Your receipt gets a Merkle inclusion proof and shows up in the explorer within seconds.

pip install requests cryptography
python3 -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tesseravcr/tesseravcr/main/tessera-network/join_network.py)"

Generates a fresh keypair locally
Submits to one of three live log servers
Returns a Merkle proof you can verify yourself

~120 lines. Read the source before you run it.

Run a log node

Host a transparency log.

Log servers append receipts to Merkle trees, sign roots, and serve inclusion proofs. The more independent logs exist, the harder it is to tamper with anything. The server is written in Rust; the source is in the repo.

Append-only Merkle tree with SQLite storage
Serves inclusion proofs to anyone who asks
No special hardware; any VPS works

Docker image and setup instructions coming soon. For now, build from source in tessera-rust/tessera-log-server.

Provide compute

Serve inference. Set your own terms.

Wrap any model as a VCR provider. Every inference generates a receipt with a cryptographic proof attached. Royalty terms are set by you, baked into the receipt itself. A reference provider using Ollama is in the repo.

Ed25519 key pair identifies you on the network
Royalty terms baked into every receipt you issue
Downstream resales trigger automatic attribution

Provider SDK and CLI are in development. The reference implementation is at tessera-network/provider.py.
