PlanetServe builds a peer-to-peer overlay that uses Theta secure information dispersal (Rabin IDA + Shamir shares) for anonymous prompts, an HR tree hash registry for decentralized KV-cache discovery and load-aware forwarding, and sampling-based verification with a small BFT committee to detect dishonest model nodes. A prototype on thousands of nodes and A100 GPUs shows under-millisecond routing overhead and achieves over 50% latency reduction (avg and TTF token) versus a non-forwarding baseline while preserving privacy and flagging misbehaving nodes.
