Steps 1 to 4: Start Modeling

In these steps, the Modeler UX is akin to that of a traditional machine learning competition. Register, install our tooling, explore some data, and start modeling!

Steps 5 to 7: Two-Phase Submission

In these steps, you submit your work in two phases after a configuration (Step 5) which enables a seamless submission process that abstracts away zkML, IPFS, and smart contracts.

On Spectral, your code remains confidential. Terms such as "submit your work" and "committing to a model" refer to sharing your model's predictions and provenance, not the submission of the model's underlying methodologies.

1. Phase 1 (Step 6): You commit to your model, and this commitment is made accessible on chain for transparency.

2. Phase 2 (Step 7): After receiving a customized test set, you submit your predictions, and these predictions are made accessible on chain for transparency.
