# Technical Overview NeuralByte operates as a decentralized application (dApp) on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing smart contracts to manage the allocation and utilization of computing resources. The core components of the NeuralByte ecosystem include: * **NeuralByte Token:** The native utility token of the NeuralByte platform, used for accessing computing resources and participating in governance mechanisms. * **Smart Contracts:** These autonomous contracts facilitate transactions between users and resource providers, ensuring transparency, security, and efficiency. * **Neural Processing Units (NPUs):** Specialized hardware units optimized for AI processing tasks. NPUs are hosted by network participants and contribute their computing power to the NeuralByte ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
