How it works
A network you can look into,
and build inside.
Redband sits on top of the internet. Anyone can look in and use what's public. To build, you need a Redband account, and each organization decides who works inside it.
Who can do what
Open to look, an account to build
Redband sets the minimum. Each organization decides how it gates its own projects.
Accounts and organizations
One account. A membership in each organization.
Your Redband account
One sign-in, one password, one passkey or second factor, for every organization you join. Leaving an organization ends the membership, not your account.
Organizations
Where a company, team or project lives: its people, apps, code, domains and data. Each one is open, invite only or closed, and can be listed in the portal or stay hidden.
What each one sees
You see what an organization will see before you join. It never sees your other memberships, and Redband builds no profile of you across organizations.
Projects Coming
Two settings for every project
A project is anything that runs as a service: a site, an API, an app, a model. Choose how open its source is, and separately, who can use it.
Source
- Open
- Anyone with a Redband account can read the code and fork it.
- Closed
- The code and its builds never leave the platform. Others can use what it does, never what it's made of.
Reach
- Private
- Your organization only. The default for everything.
- Unlisted
- Anyone with the address can use it. It isn't shown anywhere.
- Public
- Listed on the network for anyone to find, and able to earn.
Show off a model without giving it away
Host an AI model as a closed-source, public project. Anyone can use its results, and the model itself never leaves Redband. The same works for an API, a web app, or a tool. People can still study what a service returns, as with any service on the internet, but your code and builds are never shipped to them.
Publishing pays Coming
A partner program for code
The way a channel earns from its views, a project will earn from its use.
Every project is traceable to whoever made it
Everything built on Redband is signed by whoever made it, so its use is traceable, including when one project calls another's API.
Use is measured
Redband's meter records each app's use every day, in records signed so they can be checked, not just trusted.
Public projects earn
When people or agents use a public project, its organization is paid for that use. We're working out how revenue is shared with contributors together with our first members.
One unit across the network
Credits will price models, compute and work in one unit. People, organizations and agents can all spend and earn them.
See it with your own code
Redband is in an invite-only beta. Membership is $100 a month, with our staff to set you up.
