Tromero provides an alternative to cloud-based high-performance clusters (HPC) for clients requiring machine learning.

We leverage the vast untapped potential of cryptocurrency mining as the world's largest distributed deep-learning training instance, charging less than they would pay on a regular AWS server instance by leveraging the proof-of-work puzzle.


Our Blockchain, Tromero, is the first to meaningfully update proof-of-work to be proof-of-useful-work.


We, Charles and Sophia, are both final-year PhD candidates at the UKRI Centre of Doctoral Training in Safe and Trusted AI between King's College London and Imperial College. We have experience in theoretical computer science, Explainable AI (XAI), Multiagent Systems Research and Deep Reinforcement Learning.


Progress to-date:

- proof of concept demo w/ private white paper.

- expressions of interest from potential clients.

- Our current funding round is open until the end of March, and we’d love to meet to discuss things further.
