OctaSpace is a distributed computing platform that provides a decentralized marketplace for computing resources, including rendering services and VPN solutions. It enables users to rent computing power from a global network of nodes for various applications including AI model training, rendering, and secure internet browsing.

Overview

OctaSpace operates as a decentralized computing ecosystem built on its own Layer 1 EVM-compatible blockchain. The platform creates a marketplace where users can rent computing resources from node providers worldwide, with these providers setting custom pricing based on their hardware configurations. This approach democratizes access to computing power by allowing anyone with hardware to participate as a provider while giving users flexible access to computing resources without requiring significant upfront investment.

The platform has processed over 2.2 million rendering frames, equivalent to approximately 29.19 months worth of rendering time ^[1]. OctaSpace's infrastructure includes a substantial network of computing resources, comprising 7,051 CPUs, 321 GPUs, 17 TB of RAM, and 173.1 TB of disk space, distributed across its global node network ^[1].

Products and Key Features

OctaRender

OctaRender is a distributed rendering platform that leverages OctaSpace's global network of nodes. The service supports multiple rendering engines and is designed to deliver fast rendering capabilities with a user-friendly interface. Users can upload their rendering projects and utilize the distributed computing power to complete rendering tasks significantly faster than with local hardware ^[1].

Decentralized Computing Marketplace

The OctaSpace marketplace allows users to:

• Rent dedicated compute resources including CPU, RAM, GPU(s), and storage
• Access hardware from major manufacturers including Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD
• Utilize nodes ranging from high-performance multi-GPU configurations to simpler setups like Raspberry Pi devices for VPN exit nodes
• Pay for only the resources they use, creating a cost-effective alternative to traditional cloud services ^[1]

VPN Service

OctaSpace offers VPN services with the following features:

• Non-modified, open-source software available for multiple platforms
• Support for various VPN technologies including Wireguard, Shadowsocks, and OpenVPN
• Custom VPN applications for different platforms, from browser extensions to mobile apps
• No limitations on the number of devices that can connect simultaneously
• Pay-as-you-go payment model based on data usage (billed per GB)
• 53 VPN access points across multiple global locations ^[1]

Application Catalog

OctaSpace provides a catalog of ready-to-launch applications that users can deploy with a single click, including:

• AI and machine learning frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch
• AI models: Wunjo, DeepSeek, Hunyuan3D, Voice Crafter, Anything LLM, Whisper ASR
• Operating systems: Ubuntu, Windows 11
• Development tools: NVIDIA CUDA
• AI creation tools: ComfyUI ^[1]

Architecture and Technology

OctaSpace operates on its own Layer 1 native EVM-compatible blockchain, which serves as the foundation for its decentralized marketplace and services. As of the information available, the blockchain has a hashrate of 6.24 Th/s and has reached a height of 6,986,867 blocks in the "Blackeye" era ^[1].

The platform's architecture enables the allocation of dedicated computing resources to users when they rent nodes from the marketplace. This ensures that users have exclusive access to all of a node's resources during their rental period, providing predictable performance for their computing tasks ^[1].

The distributed nature of OctaSpace's network allows for global coverage, with nodes located in various countries including Argentina, Canada, China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, and the Netherlands, among others. This global distribution enables users to access computing resources or VPN services from specific geographic locations as needed ^[1].

Use Cases

OctaSpace's distributed computing platform supports a variety of use cases:

Rendering

The OctaRender service is designed for 3D artists, animation studios, and visual effects professionals who need to render complex scenes. According to user testimonials, the service offers significant speed advantages compared to local rendering. Carson Reed, CEO of CinemaMotions, noted: "Speed is absolutely INSANE, you can scale up or down depending on your project needs" ^[1].

AI and Machine Learning

The platform provides resources for developing and training AI models, with support for popular frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. Users can leverage the computing power for various AI applications, including:

• Training and fine-tuning large language models
• Running inference with models like DeepSeek and Wunjo
• Processing audio with Voice Crafter and Whisper ASR
• Creating 3D content with Hunyuan3D ^[1]

Secure Internet Browsing

Through its VPN service, OctaSpace enables users to browse the internet securely and privately. The availability of VPN access points in multiple countries allows users to route their traffic through different geographic locations, which can be useful for accessing region-restricted content or enhancing privacy ^[1].

General Computing Tasks

Beyond specialized applications, OctaSpace's marketplace allows users to rent computing resources for general-purpose tasks. This includes running custom applications, hosting services, or performing computational work that requires more resources than locally available ^[1].

Global Availability

OctaSpace's services are available across multiple global locations, with VPN access points and computing nodes distributed worldwide. The platform currently has presence in at least the following countries:

• Argentina
• Canada
• China
• Germany
• Japan
• Malaysia
• Netherlands

This global distribution allows users to access computing resources or VPN services from specific geographic regions as needed for their particular use cases ^[1].
