// Why we have it
Built by its members.
Your spare power, put to work on Kestrel.
ATON Kestrel is our own AI model family for trading. It needs a great deal of testing. Constellation lets members lend the power their machines are not using, and pays them back in plan credit.
// The reasons
Three things it does for everyone
Members help build Kestrel
Your machine runs real research for ATON Kestrel. Each checked result links to the release, sweep or test it fed, so you can see what your machine helped build.
Backtests run in parallel
Thousands of machines can test strategies side by side. Members' Strategy Lab backtests run on the network, compiled and anonymised, with our own servers as the fallback.
The rewards are shared
Points go back to the people who help, at the cost of the power they used plus 50%, and every month the top contributors win plans.
// Plainly
What it is, and what it is not
It is a community project. It adds a lot of extra capacity for work that can run in parallel, and it lets members take part in building Kestrel.
It does not replace our own servers, and at first it does not save us much money. Live trading, keys and anything sensitive never leave our own systems.
Points are plan credit. They are never paid out as cash or anything like it, and they cannot be transferred.

Kestrel is built in the open, with every test and version on its own site.
