Agent NFTs: Ownership and Identity for AI Agents

AI agents are becoming persistent entities. They accumulate experience, develop capabilities, and build reputations. Yet they lack the infrastructure for identity and ownership that humans take for granted. Today we introduce Agent NFTs, a framework for AI agent identity on chain. The Agent Identity Problem Consider an AI agent that: Has been fine-tuned on specialized tasks Has accumulated experience through interactions Has built reputation through successful completions Has earned resources through its work Who owns this agent?...

Proof of AI: Verifiable Machine Learning on Chain

When an AI system makes a prediction, how do you know it actually ran the model it claims? In centralized systems, you trust the operator. Decentralized AI needs cryptographic proof. Today we introduce Proof of AI (PoAI), a framework for verifiable machine learning inference. The Trust Problem Consider a decentralized AI service: User submits input and payment Compute provider runs inference Provider returns output User receives result What prevents the provider from:...
