The development of blockchain technology and AI is merging, driving a brand new concept: Proof of Compute (PoC). This innovation combines smart contracts and AI agents, heralding a new era of decentralized AI. This is not only the future of blockchain but also the next breakthrough in artificial intelligence.
1. Rapid evolution of AI agents: from simple to fully autonomous
In just a few months, AI agents have evolved from single-functionality to multi-platform interaction, with on-chain operational capabilities. However, most existing AI agents still rely on centralized servers or human intervention.
What is true transformation? Fully on-chain autonomous AI agents.
Characteristics of these AI agents:
- Smart contract management: fully autonomous, no human intervention required.
- Censorship resistance: cannot be blocked or modified from the outside.
- Permissionless: anyone can access and use.
- Fully on-chain storage: assets that truly belong to the blockchain address.
For instance, @CryptoEternalAI launched 'Eternals', achieving cryptographically secure AI models through smart contracts. These models are not just tools; they are also digital assets, similar to owning a token.
2. Proof of Compute: A new model for AI tasks
The introduction of PoC addresses the issues of on-chain storage costs and computational limitations. Unlike Proof of Work (PoW), PoC utilizes computational power for AI tasks rather than wasting energy.
How it works
Creators deploy an Eternal agent.
Users send task requests (prompts).
Request distribution to multiple nodes.
Nodes generate responses.
The fastest responding nodes receive transaction fees and block rewards.
Verification nodes check the results, and erroneous nodes will be penalized.
This model is implemented on @solana, @base, @arbitrum, @zksync, and the Bitcoin network, building a cross-chain AI infrastructure layer.
3. The combination of AI agents and NFTs: a new direction for on-chain storage
Currently, most NFTs only store image links on-chain, while the files themselves still rely on centralized servers.
CryptoEternalAI is changing this situation; its launched CryptoAgents series directly encodes JPEGs onto the blockchain, achieving complete on-chain storage.
Moreover, the creation cost of AI agents is low; for example, deploying an AI agent on the Base network only requires 10 $EAI (about 1 USD). This groundbreaking application of decentralized AI has already attracted market attention.
4. $EAI: the core token supporting the entire ecosystem
$EAI is the utility token of the Eternal protocol, with a wide range of use cases:
- Deploy AI agents (deployment cost)
- Use AI agents (task execution fees)
- Run an Eternal node (requires staking 25,000 $EAI)
Like $VIRTUAL, $EAI has enormous potential, with a current market cap of only 7.1 million USD, reaching a market cap of 1 billion USD would mean nearly a 100-fold increase.
Conclusion:
From PoW to PoS, and now to PoC, the combination of blockchain and AI is redefining the boundaries of technology. The complete on-chain implementation of decentralized AI agents marks the arrival of a whole new era, and CryptoEternalAI is undoubtedly a pioneer in this field.
Whether in technological innovation or token economic models, $EAI and its ecosystem have laid a solid foundation. In the future, as more features are optimized and application scenarios expanded, the potential of this track is boundless.
