REM Network Documentation

What is REM Network?

The REM Network is a Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) that provides vector database services for AI applications. We're building a decentralized alternative to Pinecone, powered by Proof of RAM consensus and the Sui blockchain.

Key Features

Decentralized - No single point of failure
Fast - Target p99 latency ≤ 500ms for 1M vectors
Cost-Effective - Market-driven pricing via DePIN economics
Transparent - Blockchain-verified operations

Proof of RAM (PoRAM)

Our novel consensus mechanism that cryptographically proves miners actually possess the RAM they claim.

How It Works

Commitment Phase
- Miner claims N GB of available RAM
- Coordinator generates epoch seed (rotates every hour)
- Miner generates deterministic data in RAM based on seed
Challenge Phase
- Coordinator sends random offset challenges: (offset, chunk_size)
- Miner must return: hash(data[offset:offset+chunk_size]) + response time
- Challenges are unpredictable and cannot be pre-computed
Verification Phase
- Coordinator verifies hash matches expected value
- Measures latency (RAM access should be <100μs)
- Repeated failures → miner marked as dishonest

Why This Works: Computing hashes on-demand from disk is too slow and detectable. Pre-computing all possible challenges requires exponential storage. Statistical sampling makes cheating economically irrational.

Mining Tiers

REM Network uses a tier-based system where higher RAM commitment and stakes earn better rewards.

Tier	Name	RAM Range	Multiplier
T0	Dreamer	2 GB	0.5×
T1	Bronze	4-7 GB	0.8×
T2	Silver	8-15 GB	1.0×
T3	Gold	16-31 GB	1.3×
T4	Diamond	32-63 GB	1.6×
T5	Titan	64+ GB	2.0×

Reward Formula

Miners earn rewards based on three components:

Miner Rewards = 
    [Capacity Score × 50%] +
    [Challenge Score × 40%] +
    [Query Score × 10%]
    
    × Tier Multiplier
    × Uptime²

Capacity Score: Your RAM / Total Network RAM
Challenge Score: PoRAM accuracy + speed
Query Score: Queries served / Total queries
Uptime Multiplier: (uptime_percentage)² - rewards reliability

Token Distribution ($REM)

Total Supply: 1 Billion REM

Mining Rewards: 55% (550M REM)
Team/Treasury: 35% (350M REM)
Referrals: 10% (100M REM)
