Getting Started with KAWAI

Welcome to KAWAI, the Private and Decentralized AI Network. This guide will help you get started with using KAWAI for your AI computing needs.

What is KAWAI?

KAWAI is a decentralized AI compute network that connects GPU owners with AI developers to solve the GPU bottleneck crisis through secure decentralized AI compute network. It enables a more efficient allocation of computational resources for AI tasks.

Why Choose KAWAI?

Cost Efficiency: Save up to 40% compared to centralized AI providers
Decentralized Security: Your data and models remain private and secure
Scalable Resources: Access to a global network of GPUs on demand
Community Owned: The network is governed by token holders

Quick Start Guide

1. Install the KAWAI App

The first step is to download and install the KAWAI App:

# For macOS users
brew install kawai-network/kawai/kawai-app

# For Linux users
curl -sSL https://get.kawai.com | bash

2. Create Your Account

Once installed, open the app and create a new account:

Click on "Create New Account"
Generate a secure passphrase
Back up your recovery seed phrase (keep it somewhere safe!)
Set up 2FA for additional security

3. Connect to the Network

After creating your account, you can connect to the KAWAI network:

// Example code for connecting to KAWAI network
const kawai = require('kawai-client');
const connection = kawai.connect({
  apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY',
  region: 'global',
  resources: {
    gpuType: 'RTX4090',
    minCount: 2,
    maxPrice: 0.45 // KAWAI tokens per hour
  }
});

4. Run Your First AI Task

Once connected, you can run your first AI task:

# Example Python code for running an AI task on KAWAI
import kawai

model = kawai.load_model("stable-diffusion-xl")
result = model.generate(
    prompt="A futuristic city with flying cars and holographic displays",
    steps=50,
    seed=1234
)
result.save("futuristic_city.png")

Advanced Features

Setting Up a Provider Node

If you have GPUs to contribute to the network, you can set up a provider node:

Install the KAWAI Node software
Configure your GPU settings
Set your pricing model
Connect to the network and start earning KAWAI tokens

Staking for Enhanced Returns

You can stake your KAWAI tokens to earn passive income and help secure the network:

Navigate to the "Staking" section in the KAWAI App
Choose your staking amount and duration
Confirm the transaction
Start earning up to 12% APR on your staked tokens
