How SolKernal works

The complete lifecycle from skill publication to execution, receipt creation, and revenue distribution.

Last updated July 2, 2026

Execution lifecycle

Execution lifecycleend-to-end flow

Publish

Builder submits skill metadata and prompt.

Discover

User opens marketplace, API, or Blink.

Execute

Input routes through SolKernal to the LLM.

Receipt

Result and output hash are recorded.

Settle

Fee attribution updates protocol stats.

1A builder publishes a skill with name, description, category, prompt template, model provider, fee, and wallet address.
2A user discovers the skill in the marketplace, opens a Blink, or calls the API.
3The app validates input, wallet identity, skill status, rate limits, and payment assumptions.
4The LLM engine injects user input into the skill prompt and routes to the configured provider.
5The result is returned to the user and an execution receipt is saved with fee, wallet, provider, output hash, and timestamp.
6Protocol stats update and the fee model attributes value to builder, stakers, and treasury.

It is not an LLM host. It coordinates execution across external or configured providers.
It is not a centralized SaaS subscription bundle. Pricing is attached to each skill execution.
It is not an EVM marketplace in v1. The product is designed around Solana primitives.
It is not a place to store private user data on-chain. Receipts should contain hashes and metadata, not sensitive content.
