UOMI Network is a somewhat unique blockchain-based project in the AI field, where economic agents will be represented by NFTs.
UOMI introduces AI economic agents on blockchain with NFT
UOMI is working towards a future where AI agents will have their own real economic agency.
Their platform allows these AI agents to own and manage digital assets represented as NFT on any EVM-compatible blockchain.
Their innovation aims to operate not only in the field of finance, but also in the field of governance and digital art.
UOMI stands for Unstoppable Open Machine Intelligence and aims to enable reliable interactions
between smart contracts and inference AI. This should facilitate the development of self-sustaining AI economic actors, that is, entities listed as NFTs on any blockchain that have the capability
to independently transact crypto assets, covering their own computing costs.
For example, an autonomous AI agent could be a digital artist who autonomously mints NFT, or a non-playable character (NPC) within digital games, or one of the managers of a DAO who makes governance decisions.
The UOMI framework
By imagining public blockchains, such as those of Bitcoin and Ethereum, as self-replicating machines, that is, organisms that exploit economic incentives to encourage human participation in their functioning and expansion, they lend themselves to potential integration with artificial intelligence in this, thanks to the creation of autonomous economic agents.
UOMI proposes a new consensus architecture for a layer-1 blockchain, designed to integrate secure AI computation while minimizing trust assumptions and computation overhead.
Their secure computing framework is based on the Optimized Proof of Computation (OPoC) consensus algorithm, which ensures robust security and economic incentives, while advancing a new generation of AI systems integrated on blockchain.
The OPoC protocol
Optimistic Proof of Computation is an efficient protocol from a computational point of view, designed for a decentralized and secure AI.
This new consensus algorithm is designed to enable secure computation within a decentralized computing framework, ensuring that for any computation function f() and input x, there are strong statistical guarantees that f(x) = y.
The algorithm also integrates economic principles using token staking, thus transforming such statistical guarantees into tangible economic security.
This economic security supports the integrity of interactions between AI models and smart contracts,
especially in environments where value is managed and the incentive to manipulate outcomes is significant because of the stakes involved.
Their algorithm is particularly optimized for resource-intensive computations, and is particularly adept at handling large language models and machine learning tasks.
The UOMI Project: The Latest Blockchain Innovation with AI and NFT
UOMI Network is supported by Over the Reality and by a community that now has 1.2 million members
Its KOL round was led by prominent figures from the Web3 sector, with involvement from more than 18,000 influencers and extensive marketing activities.
The goal is to become the first ever AI Layer One and pioneer the development of autonomous and unstoppable AI agents.
The launch is scheduled for November 2024.
Of course, they will also launch their own token.
