# Overview

[Palliora](https://palliora.org/) is a public blockchain that empowers its user to selectively share their data for trusted, confidential and verifiable computation, knowing that only the intended recipients will have access. Moreover, it guarantees fairness to all participants in an AI ecosystem: data providers, model providers, training providers, model user; an essential feature for an unplugged growth of AI technology. Among the actors of Palliora we have DA nodes, which take care of Data Availability, Guardians, which take care of a decentralized access-control system, Calculators, which perform outsourced computations(whth varying confidentiality levels), and Verifiers, which check the quality and consistency of input and output data. Palliora's design permits free negotiations among all user and all actors, while enforcing correct execution and fair distribution of rewards.
