Tatsu proudly introduces ChipForge (SN84) — the first decentralized hardware design project.
For the first time in the history of this space, miners won’t just secure networks or generate proofs — they will compete to design real silicon chips. ChipForge brings hardware innovation to the decentralized frontier, making it possible for a global community of builders to contribute directly to next-generation processor design.
Our system introduces a challenge-based model: complex processor designs are broken down into competitive, manageable building blocks. Each challenge — whether it’s related to an AI accelerator, a crypto chip, or a mini-GPU — represents a critical component of a larger processor design. Miners download specifications, collaborate with AI models, and submit optimized designs as full Verilog/SystemVerilog implementations. The best solutions earn rewards and collectively advance toward complete, manufacturable chips.
Our immediate targets include the hardware design industries, while our long-term vision reaches into IoT, robotics, edge devices, and post-quantum security hardware — with the potential to collaborate with and provide market-ready designs for major chipmakers such as NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel as opportunities emerge. Within a year, we aim to transition from design to full-scale fabrication — a milestone that will bring decentralized silicon from concept to reality.
As ChipForge grows, we plan to reinvest network revenue from design IPs and fabricated chips back into the ecosystem, including buybacks, ensuring sustainable value for the community. Backed by the Tatsu validator team, and open to future partnerships with leading hardware design companies, ChipForge marks the beginning of a new era: hardware, designed by the world, for the world — on-chain.
The future of decentralized silicon starts now.
