Introduction to RSS3:
RSS3 is a decentralized network designed to make open information easily accessible and usable by tech companies like Twitter, Google, and OpenAI. It promotes a healthy economic system by separating data and value layers and facilitating the entire process from indexing to consumption of open information.
Core technologies and functions:
The RSS3 network consists of two parts:
Data Sub-layer (DSL): Responsible for managing the entire lifecycle of open information, including indexing, storing, transforming, and disseminating until it is used by end users.
Value Sub-layer (VSL): A second-layer blockchain based on Ethereum, utilizing NEAR technology to ensure data availability and to build a healthy ownership economy system. The native token of RSS3 is RSS3, and all profits will be donated to public goods and ecosystem funds.
This network design not only supports the training of artificial intelligence (AI) models but also serves applications such as social media and search engines.
Innovations of RSS3 in the fields of social, search, and AI:
Social Field: As the largest indexer of open social content, RSS3 connects various social protocols (such as Lens, Farcaster, Nostr, and ActivityPub), enabling interoperability between different applications and users.
Search Field: It simplifies the aggregation and interpretation of information, helping developers build cross-blockchain search engines, browsers, and other tools.
AI Field: RSS3 is an important information source for training AI models, providing a large amount of open-source data for large models (LLMs) and multimedia model training. It also supports locally prioritized model training.
Tokenomics of RSS3:
The total supply of RSS3 tokens is 1 billion, with the majority (64%) allocated to the community. The team and investors will also receive a share. Tokens will be unlocked in phases and released over 5 years. Future growth will come from value-added services, SocialFi activities, and transaction taxes.
AI advancements in 2023:
In 2023, RSS3 launched a Web3 AI open platform, providing developers with tools to train GPT models, enabling these models to obtain and process information from decentralized networks. These models can be applied in areas such as DeFi, NFTs, and decentralized social applications.
Additionally, RSS3 launched the GPT-based HootGPT search engine, providing users with a unique interactive search experience. In June, RSS3 released a plugin called 'Web3 User Activity' that helps ChatGPT users access on-chain information.
Collaboration with Google Cloud in 2024:
In April 2024, RSS3 collaborated with Google Cloud to jointly promote the development of open information, AI, and the Web3 space. Through this partnership, RSS3 provides developers with unprecedented technical support, aiding the construction of an open information ecosystem and helping developers launch creative Web3 projects.
Latest developments for 2025:
On January 2, 2025, RSS3 introduced Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) technology, powering the next wave of large-scale scientific research and enhancing the platform's openness and transparency.
On January 3, RSS3 announced that it is building the ultimate AI data framework to support functional AI agent innovations in the crypto space and promote the development of DeSci (decentralized science), further facilitating research and innovation.
