Introduction
AI projects on Solana are becoming increasingly competitive, while more opportunities may be overlooked on Base.
For example, a project based on Base that has been discussed a lot recently, REI Network, has silently seen its market cap rise to around $170M, yet there is still relatively little introduction about it in the Chinese community.
Crypto KOL @platacrypto has published multiple articles at different points in time about the technological innovations and future potential of Rei Network ($REI), providing an in-depth analysis of the core architecture and operational mechanisms of Rei Network ($REI).
The original content is divided into two articles and is somewhat fragmented.
The first article details how Rei Network innovates the foundational framework for perceptual AI through a unique three-component solution, exploring its application prospects in decentralized applications, finance, and supply chains. The second article further analyzes the bullish outlook for $REI.
Deep Tide TechFlow has integrated and compiled it, and the following is the complete content.

What is the REI Network?
REI is a new project recently launched on the Base blockchain platform. The team quickly locked in a liquidity pool of $2 million after the launch. REI provides a framework layer that connects AI and blockchain. This approach, specifically designed for perceptual AI (like AI entities), is an unprecedented innovation that could change the industry landscape.
The challenge of integrating AI and blockchain:
You can think of blockchain and AI as two highly talented experts, but they each speak completely different languages and work in entirely different ways.
The blockchain is more like a precise calculator—calculations are accurate and logic is rigorous, but there are strict limitations on workload and storage space. AI, on the other hand, is more like an imaginative artist, focusing on possibilities and probabilities, capable of providing diverse answers, while also requiring a lot of computational resources and storage space. AI operations rely on past experiences and context, rather than fixed rules.
Making these two collaborate is as difficult as trying to have a conversation between someone who only understands mathematical formulas and someone who expresses thoughts through poetry and metaphors.
Separation rather than Forced Integration
Rather than forcibly merging the 'mathematician' and the 'artist' into one person, REI proposes a unique solution: to build a dedicated system that allows both to play to their strengths while achieving efficient collaboration. This system can be imagined as a specially designed office with three key parts.

REI's solution consists of three core components.
The first is the Oracle Bridge, which acts like an experienced translator, deeply understanding the essence of mathematics and art. This translator does not just translate terms but also understands the deeper meanings of each expert's work. They convert the complex ideas of AI into precise mathematical expressions that the blockchain can understand.
The second component: ERCData system. ERCData is a unique archiving system designed for storing precise calculations and artistic insights. You can think of it as a highly organized library that can hold both mathematical formulas and artistic sketches while maintaining their intrinsic meanings and interconnections. This system ensures that two distinctly different forms of information can be effectively managed and utilized.
The third component: Memory System. The role of the Memory System is similar to that of a clever assistant, helping the 'mathematician' learn from past experiences, much like the 'artist', while still strictly adhering to precise rules. This system can track patterns and relationships over time and provide support for future decisions without sacrificing precision.
These three components together create a collaborative space. Here, the 'mathematical expert' and the 'AI artist' can work independently while efficiently translating and organizing shared ideas to achieve a fusion of creativity and precision.
How Does REI Work?
Thinking Layer: When REI needs to perform complex calculations or reasoning, it can freely use AI-style processing. The Oracle Bridge will convert these thoughts into blockchain-compatible formats, acting as a 'translator'.
Reasoning Layer: When REI needs to store recognized information and patterns, it uses a specialized ERCData system. This system can record complex relationships and contexts in a form that the blockchain can understand.
Memory and Learning: When REI learns from interactions, it relies on the memory system to track patterns and relationships. This allows it to continuously grow and adapt while adhering to blockchain rules.
Acting Layer: When REI takes action, all processes are handled through multiple components of the framework, ensuring seamless integration with the blockchain system.
Reasons to be Bullish on $REI
The framework of REI opens up new possibilities:
The Evolution of Smart Contracts: Imagine that smart contracts can not only execute preset rules but also 'think' and adapt to changes while maintaining absolute reliability and transparency.
Financial Applications: Able to discover market patterns and adjust strategies in a timely manner while ensuring security and transparency.
Supply Chain System: Able to learn from historical data and predict potential risks before problems occur.
Decentralized Applications (DApps): Capable of understanding complex user behaviors and dynamically adjusting their responses.
REI is the first project to combine the intelligence of AI with the trustworthiness of blockchain. With the release of the SDK, developers can integrate the REI framework into AI entities with various application scenarios. The only way to fully unlock REI's powerful features and use the SDK is to hold $REI tokens.
Currently, REI's market attention is still relatively low, but it has already made significant technological breakthroughs. As perceptual AI and AI entities gradually become mainstream, REI has the potential to become a key player in the industry.
Second Article - In-Depth Analysis of Plata: The Potential of Rei Network
Many people may look back at this article in the future and regret not discovering the potential of $REI earlier.
I rarely feel this confident about a project, and this confidence is reserved for what I consider the top-quality opportunities. It's time to delve into Rei Network.
Rei Network is a core framework layer dedicated to maximizing the integration potential of AI and blockchain. It achieves a key goal through a three-layer architecture: allowing AI to operate without the technical limitations of the blockchain while enabling low-cost data validation and storage on-chain. The uniqueness of Rei lies in its ability to transform AI's probabilistic outputs into deterministic, verifiable data structures.
Rei is the first project to adopt this method, and with their first-mover advantage, they have quickly established their leading position.

AI is still a relatively new concept for many. To understand more intuitively why it is so important to let AI operate off-chain while utilizing blockchain technology for data storage, we can use a simple analogy.
AI is a highly creative artist. She can interact with various subjects and solve almost any problems or tasks presented to her. Therefore, the data structures generated and processed by AI systems are often very complex and not suitable for direct storage on the blockchain.
The blockchain functions like a rigorous mathematician. Its operations are based on absolute determinism. Every node, regardless of operation, computation, or state, must produce the same result to ensure block validation. While this characteristic limits the flexibility of the blockchain, it guarantees its reliability and security.
Rei's three-layer architecture builds a bridge between the two, allowing AI to work freely off-chain while its data can be securely stored on the blockchain and easily retrieved for future use.
The advantage of blockchain is that it prioritizes data validation over computational power. Its universal accessibility also allows agents and users to collaborate more efficiently, storing and sharing data. However, storing all data on-chain can face the issue of high gas fees.

Currently, AI operations often rely on dedicated hardware and centralized systems. Rei's operations are inspired by the biological concept of 'informational invasiveness', proposing a brand new solution.
In simple terms, Rei's infrastructure allows agents to seamlessly extract 'memories' from the blockchain while also collecting new data in real-time. More importantly, since all data is stored on-chain, newly added agents can directly utilize previous memories, thereby continuously expanding their knowledge base. As the Rei network grows, this ability to share memories will become even more powerful.
Rei (or 'she') serves as a test case for Rei Network, fully demonstrating the powerful capabilities of this network. By intuitively presenting to users why to choose Rei or build on its network, this is not just a clever marketing strategy, but also a manifestation of their commitment through practical actions. From the current performance, Rei's growth is indeed impressive.
@platecrypto:
'The speed of $REI's development is incredibly fast.
Initially, Rei was just conducting some simple social interaction analysis and transaction volume monitoring. However, within just a week, she has been able to complete complex and comprehensive quantitative analyses. These analyses include: transaction volume, holding structure, smart wallets, wallet type labels, social interactions, and other data.
In just one week, Rei's rapid development is indeed impressive.
Next, the important functions that Rei Network is about to release include the Oracle system and SDK development toolkit. These two releases will greatly increase the demand for $REI. The Oracle system provides bridging services between on-chain and off-chain data, while the SDK offers developers tools and support for building applications on the Rei network. No matter how advanced the technology, the ultimate goal is to create value for users and investors, and these new features will clearly drive the market performance of $REI.
Currently, Rei is still in the 'learning phase', gradually understanding and mastering the operational mechanisms of the entire network. In the near future, we will be able to request her professional insights on a specific topic, and this service will be accessible based on Token permissions.
REI Token Oracle Revenue Structure
To support data querying and computational services on the blockchain, REI Network has designed a clear fee structure for its Oracle system, as follows:
Computational Service Levels
Basic Level: Suitable for simple queries and data validation - charges a fixed fee.
Advanced Level: Suitable for complex data analysis and multi-step operations - charges a fixed fee, plus additional computation fees based on complexity.
Revenue Distribution Structure
Computational service providers receive the majority of the fees.
Allocate a considerable amount to validators.
A portion of the fees will be deposited into the protocol treasury.
$REI stakers (specific allocation ratios are yet to be determined).
The launch of this feature will significantly enhance the value of $REI, especially since Rei is already capable of conducting in-depth quantitative analyses. Even more appealing is that a portion of the fees paid for using the Oracle system will be allocated to $REI stakers, further incentivizing community participation.
Rei Network plans to officially launch its mainnet and SDK toolkit this year, and these important milestones will bring more market attention and demand for $REI. It is foreseeable that Rei Network has the potential to become a billion-dollar project, and achieving this goal is just a matter of time.
