# PRSM v0.2.0 Release Notes

**Release Date**: March 5, 2026
**Version**: 0.2.0 (Production Infrastructure Release)

---

## 🌟 What is PRSM?

**PRSM (Protocol for Research and Science Markets)** is a decentralized network that connects researchers with AI compute resources. Think of it as a marketplace where you can:

- **Access AI models** without running them on your own hardware
- **Share your compute resources** with the research community
- **Collaborate with other nodes** in a distributed network
- **Earn tokens** by contributing to the network

PRSM makes it easy for researchers to run AI workloads—whether you're analyzing scientific papers, running language models, or processing large datasets—without needing expensive local infrastructure.

---

## 🚀 What's New in 0.2.0

This release transforms PRSM from an experimental platform into a production-ready system. Here's what you can now do:

### 🤖 Run Real AI Inference

**Connect to multiple AI providers and run actual workloads:**

- **Use Claude, GPT-4, or local models** — Choose from Anthropic Claude, OpenAI GPT models, or run your own models locally with Ollama
- **No more mock responses** — All AI queries now process through real model backends
- **Stream responses in real-time** — See results as they're generated, not just final outputs

**Getting started is simple:**
```python
from prsm import PRSMClient

client = PRSMClient()
response = await client.query("Analyze this research paper for key findings...")
```

### 🌐 Connect and Collaborate with Other Nodes

**Join the federated network and share resources:**

- **Discover other nodes automatically** — Bootstrap servers help you find and connect to the network
- **Retrieve content from any connected node** — Access data stored across the entire federation
- **Share your resources** — Contribute your compute power and storage to help others

The network is resilient: if one node is unavailable, the system automatically finds alternatives.

### 💰 Stake FTNS Tokens

**Participate in the network economy:**

- **Stake tokens to earn rewards** — Lock your FTNS tokens to support network operations and earn participation rewards
- **Validate and secure the network** — Your stake helps ensure network integrity
- **Flexible staking options** — Choose how much to stake and for how long

### 🌉 Bridge Tokens Across Networks

**Move tokens between blockchain networks:**

- **Transfer FTNS tokens** between supported networks
- **Secure cross-chain operations** — All transfers are cryptographically verified
- **Track your transactions** — Full visibility into token movements

### 📊 Monitor Everything with the Web Dashboard

**Real-time visibility into your node and the network:**

- **See your node status** — Health, performance, and resource usage at a glance
- **Track your token balance** — Monitor earnings, stakes, and transactions
- **View network activity** — See what's happening across the federation
- **Manage your connections** — Configure which nodes you connect to

Access the dashboard at `http://localhost:8000/dashboard` after starting your node.

### 🛠️ Submit Compute Jobs via SDK

**Programmatic access for developers and researchers:**

- **Python SDK** — Full-featured library for integrating PRSM into your workflows
- **Submit batch jobs** — Process multiple queries or datasets efficiently
- **Monitor job progress** — Track status and retrieve results programmatically
- **Integrate with existing tools** — Works with Jupyter notebooks, scripts, and applications

---

## 📋 Getting Started

### For New Users

1. **Install PRSM:**
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/PRSM-AI/PRSM.git
   cd PRSM
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

2. **Configure your AI provider** (choose one):
   - Set `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` for Claude
   - Set `OPENAI_API_KEY` for GPT models
   - Install Ollama for local models

3. **Start your node:**
   ```bash
   python -m prsm.node
   ```

4. **Access the dashboard:**
   Open your browser to `http://localhost:8000/dashboard`

### For Users Upgrading from 0.1.0

**Important changes to be aware of:**

- **Authentication is now required** — All API calls need an authentication token. Generate one via the dashboard or CLI.
- **Configuration changes** — Some environment variable names have changed. Check the migration guide below.
- **Python 3.9+ required** — If you're on Python 3.8, you'll need to upgrade.

**Migration steps:**
```bash
# Update your repository
git pull origin main

# Update dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Generate an API token
python -m prsm.cli tokens create --name "my-token"
```

---

## ⚠️ Important Notes

### Authentication Changes
All API endpoints now require authentication. Previously, some endpoints allowed unauthenticated access for development. You'll need to:
1. Generate an API token through the dashboard or CLI
2. Include the token in all API requests

### Configuration Updates
Several configuration keys have been renamed for consistency:
- `PRSM_NODE_ID` → `PRSM_NODE_ID` (unchanged)
- `BOOTSTRAP_NODES` → `PRSM_BOOTSTRAP_NODES`
- `LLM_PROVIDER` → `PRSM_LLM_PROVIDER`

### Breaking Changes
- **Minimum Python version**: 3.9+ (previously 3.8+)
- **API format**: Standardized response format across all endpoints
- **Error handling**: Improved error messages with actionable guidance

---

## 🎯 What Can You Do Now?

| Task | How |
|------|-----|
| Run AI queries | Use the Python SDK or Web Dashboard |
| Connect to the network | Start your node with default bootstrap servers |
| Stake tokens | Use the dashboard or `prsm stake` CLI command |
| Bridge tokens | Access via dashboard → Token Management → Bridge |
| Monitor your node | Open the Web Dashboard at localhost:8000 |
| Submit batch jobs | Use `PRSMClient.batch_query()` in the SDK |
