Orogen is a decentralized network for verifiable LLM inference. The gateway exposes an OpenAI-compatible API; requests route to GPU operators whose hardware and binary are TEE-attested; validators replay a sample of those inferences on independent hardware and slash mismatches on chain. Customers pay USD or stablecoin; the gateway burns OROG at the oracle TWAP and credits the customer in non-transferable Compute Unit Credits (CUC); operators serve inference and earn freshly-minted OROG, capped by a 180-day rolling burn-cap and a 5%/year supply ceiling.
That is the whole loop. Every section below drills into one part of it.
In this section
- Architecture summary — the chain, the off-chain services, the verification stack, and the tokenomics in one ASCII diagram and a short table.
- Roadmap — the seven-phase plan from stealth foundation through Phase-3 federated post-training, with the TGE gate in the middle.

| Customers — app builders, LLM consumers | /customers/ |
| Operators — GPU owners across six tiers | /operators/ |
| Validators — replay node operators, stakers | /validators/ |
| Protocol readers — engineers, researchers | /protocol/ and the RFCs |
| Token holders, governance | /tokenomics/ and /governance/ |
| Adapter authors (LoRA publishing with royalties) | /protocol/ — adapter pallet coverage is TBA |
What is live in May 2026
- Pre-build planning. Mainnet TGE targets Q2 2027, gated on the audit and Day-30 KPIs in plan §10.3.
- Public testnet (Forge) opens Q1 2027. Foundation-run validators only at launch; permissionless onboarding follows in Q3 2027 if Day-30 KPIs hold.
- SDKs ship today. The Python SDK (
orogen-sdk) and the TypeScript SDK (@orogen/sdk) are usable as drop-in OpenAI clients pointing at a placeholder gateway. See Downloads. - Status:
