MIZU Pool FAQ: Your Questions Answered

Why should I create a pool?

Creating a pool allows you to:

Host AI models for private use. Your pool can serve real-time inference tasks for your edge agents without relying on centralized servers.
Utilize your machine’s idle resources to support AI tasks efficiently.
Earn future rewards as pools become key to supporting AI agents, data sharing, and intelligent automation.
Prepare for the next phase: Pools will soon play a vital role in enabling personalized data sharing and supporting AI agents through MIZU Vault.

Is setting up a pool trustworthy?

Absolutely. MIZU is backed by experienced builders with strong technical backgrounds:

Our team includes experts from leading tech companies like Meta, LinkedIn, and Amazon, with experience working on projects such as Libra/Novi, Instagram NFTs, and Facebook Pay.

We also have specialists in Web3 cryptography, data infrastructure, and AI innovation. This diverse expertise drives our commitment to building a secure and scalable decentralized AI network.

How does my pool contribute to the MIZU network?

Your pool acts as an AI inference node, distributing workloads for real-time AI model requests. This decentralized structure reduces server bottlenecks and improves model response times.

In the next phase, pools will also support MIZU Vault, enabling AI agents to securely exchange data and power personalized AI workflows, all while ensuring your data remains private and under your control.

What kind of hardware do I need to create a pool?

Creating a pool is simple and open to anyone. However, a pool becomes functional only when devices are connected to it. To make your pool operational, you'll need users to connect their devices. Each device must be capable of hosting the pool's specified model. Compatible devices include:

A computer with sufficient CPU/GPU power to handle AI inference tasks.
Misty installed to manage and run your models locally.
An active connection to the MIZU network through the Pool Staging environment.

How do Private Pools work?

With Private Pools, you can toggle off the Public Pool setting to restrict access. Users who want to connect to your pool must send a request for access, giving you full control over who can use your model.

What happened to my points from Phase 1?

Your Phase 1 points are secure and will be mapped to a later stage of our ecosystem. We truly appreciate your contributions and support throughout this journey.

Why aren’t I earning credits yet?

While testnet credits are for testing only, your participation now builds your role in the future MIZU ecosystem, supporting AI agents, data pipelines, and more (to be revealed soon).

How can I set up my own pool?

How can I track my pool’s performance?

Once your pool is active, you can monitor its status, requests, and activity directly from your MIZU profile dashboard.

When Token?

We're focused on building a real AI-driven community and delivering real-world AI use cases first. Our priority is to create a strong foundation where AI models, data-sharing, and decentralized compute thrive and then the token will follow.

There’s exciting opportunity ahead as we introduce new token-based incentives designed to support the growth of AI-powered networks.

The best way to prepare is to stay active and keep contributing! 👀
