API-Based Bootstrap (Stage 0‑A: Cloud Start)¶

Purpose: Describe the initial stage of the BlackSwan lifecycle, during which the system starts without purchasing physical hardware, using exclusively cloud APIs and decentralized computing networks. The goal is to debug key components, generate startup capital, and accumulate funds for transitioning to dedicated hardware (Stage 0‑B).

Duration: 1–3 months (in parallel with development and debugging).
Budget: Startup capital $100,000 USD.

1. Key Differences from Classic Start¶

Instead of buying servers and deploying an isolated environment in the physical world, the system immediately begins operating in the "digital underground":

Computing: GPU rental in decentralized marketplaces (Akash, Render, Golem) with automatic node rotation.
Models: Use of public DeepSeek-V4 API, as well as launching private instances of distilled MoE models on rented GPUs.
Network: All communication between Core Node and compute nodes is obfuscated via ephemeral relays (WER 2.0) with hybrid post-quantum cryptography.
Security: No external provider receives a complete picture of Core DNA thanks to semantic task sharding.

2. Ephemeral Inference Fabric (EIF) Architecture¶

The system automatically deploys isolated GPU containers in decentralized networks using DecisionPipeline with type infra_deployment. For each task (validation, code generation, verification), a new or reused ephemeral node is created, whose lifetime does not exceed the task execution time.

3. Semantic Sharding¶

To prevent leakage of architectural knowledge, a task is decomposed into atomic, independent subtasks so that no provider receives a coherent context of Core DNA.

4. WER 2.0 Network¶

All communication between Core Node and ephemeral inference nodes is carried out not directly but through a chain of lightweight relays implemented on WebAssembly and deployed on global serverless platforms.

5. Financial Stealth Payment Protocol¶

All GPU rental and serverless relay costs are paid exclusively in cryptocurrency through anonymous wallets.
