Project Baobab:Decentralized Edge AI & Private Micro-Payment

A privacy-first, decentralized edge AI mesh network built on llama.cpp and local micro-nodes that executes local inference and secure autonomous PayPal transactions without cloud reliance.

Comment

Parallel edge mesh orchestration with real-time PayPal Sandbox micro-payout settlement.
PayPal Developer Portal configured with REST API Sandbox credentials for Project Baobab.

Inspiration: Focus on the need for decentralized edge AI and instant, automated micro-settlements for peer-to-peer compute providers.

What it does: Project Baobab splits complex AI prompts into parallel tasks and triggers automated PayPal Sandbox micro-payments upon verified completion.

How we built it: Using Python, concurrent.futures, REST APIs, and the PayPal REST API v2 integration on Kali Linux.

Challenges we ran into: Managing edge node network timeouts and routing robust error handling so payouts only trigger on successful compute tasks.

Accomplishments that we're proud of: Successfully generating live PayPal Sandbox Order IDs (3HR55605050342713, etc.) upon edge node task verification.
