The development of blockchain technology and AI is merging, driving a new concept: Proof of Compute (PoC). This innovation combines smart contracts and AI agents, ushering in a new era of decentralized AI. This is not only the future of blockchain but also the next breakthrough for artificial intelligence.
1. Rapid evolution of AI agents: from simple to fully autonomous
In just a few months, AI agents have evolved from single-function to multi-platform interaction and have 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 stopped or altered by external parties.
- Permissionless: Anyone can access and use it.
- Fully on-chain storage: assets that truly belong to the blockchain address.
For example, @CryptoEternalAI launched 'Eternals', achieving cryptographically secure AI models through smart contracts. These models are not only tools but 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 instead of wasting energy.
Operation method
Creators deploy an Eternal agent.
Users send task requests (prompts).
Request distribution to multiple nodes.
Node generates responses.
The fastest responding node receives transaction fees and block rewards.
Validation nodes check results, and erroneous nodes will be penalized.
This model has been implemented on @solana, @base, @arbitrum, @zksync, and the Bitcoin network, creating 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, as its launched CryptoAgents series directly encodes JPEGs onto the blockchain, achieving complete on-chain storage.
Furthermore, the creation cost of AI agents is low; for example, deploying an AI agent on the Base network only costs 10 $EAI (approximately 1 US dollar). This groundbreaking application of decentralized AI has 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)
- Using AI agents (task execution fees)
- Run Eternal nodes (requires staking 25,000 $EAI)
Like $VIRTUAL, $EAI has great potential, with a current market cap of only 7.1 million USD, and reaching a market cap of 1 billion USD would mean nearly 100 times growth.
Conclusion:
From PoW to PoS 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 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. Moving forward, with more features optimized and application scenarios expanded, the potential of this track is limitless.
