Compute resource metadata that identifies a set of decentralized compute resources can be received. A request to use one or more compute resources can be received. A digital twin can be generated. The digital twin can facilitate identification of a particular compute resource, and the digital twin can be representative of potential interactions between a receiver entity and a set of provider entities. An interaction can be initiated between the receiver entity and a particular provider entity.
