# Integration With Decentralized Networks

When the parallel code is ready to execute, Parallel AI deploys it via the compute power it has aggregated from decentralized GPU marketplaces, selecting the optimal GPUs/CPUs for the parallel processing task at hand. 

Each node in the network can execute part of the task, and the system coordinates the distribution and aggregation of results.

Smart contracts are used to verify the correctness of the executed tasks and to handle the distribution of rewards (in the form of tokens or credits) to nodes that contribute their computational power.
