yes it's certainly possible. i don't know if it exists but there are many things like it. not exactly what you describe, but many blockchains use wasm as the contract execution runtime. also, it kind of sounds like filecoin but with compute. i'm sure "protocol labs" has a project close to what you are talking about.

edit: the hard part to note is probably the "trust" part. might be trickier to solve than just giving incentives.

Thanks for putting me on to Protocol Labs! It's a wealth of super cool projects.

Protocol Labs here — are you familiar with Fluence or Bacalhau projects? Those might be good starting points.

[digdugdirk]

Thank you! So glad you responded, Fluence seems to be very much along the lines of what I'm thinking.

Is there a good entry point to understanding the project that you can recommend? The website is drenched in crypto-speak, and I'm very much outside of that community. Just looking for an overview/white paper to be able to get my bearings before digging deeper.
