An innovative collaboration has emerged in the AI sector, as SingularityNET, a leading AI platform developer headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, and Trace Labs, the core development company of OriginTrail, based in Hong Kong, have just announced a strategic partnership aimed at supporting the development of the Knowledge Layer – the Internet of Knowledge.

This partnership signifies that two prominent players in the AI industry have come together to support a decentralized ecosystem where AI agents and infrastructure partners collaborate within the decentralized knowledge graph (DKG) landscape.
OriginTrail is an ecosystem dedicated to building a Verifiable Internet for AI, and this partnership marks the beginning of their collaboration with SingularityNET’s leading AI platform and robust ecosystem.

In some of the key highlights of this partnership, Trace Labs is tasked with developing sophisticated infrastructure that allows for efficient access and retrieval of information stored on the DKG, tackling challenges of AI hallucinations, bias, and model collapse due to an explosion in the amount of synthetic data produced by AI. This effort is aimed at enhancing the functionality and responsiveness of the decentralized knowledge graph within the OriginTrail network.

SingularityNET will then provide users access to its decentralized platform, where specialized AI models and Large Language Models (LLMs) can be purchased and used for data analysis. These models are designed to operate seamlessly with the data supported by the OriginTrail network, fostering a more robust ecosystem. The company will also develop AI models that can be trained directly on the Decentralized Knowledge Graph. This approach helps realize the shared vision of the two partners; eliminating the need for data centralization, and leveraging the decentralized nature of the blockchain to enhance privacy and security.

Leveraging SingularityNET’s leading position in mission-critical research of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Trace Labs’ experience in commercializing Web3 and AI solutions, the strategic partnership is in particular aimed at solving the real world challenges with decentralized AI within the key sectors, such as Industry 4.0, decentralized science (DeSci), real world assets (RWA), and education.

Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, stated, “As we move from an Internet of documents, media and apps to an internet of knowledge and AI, the basic composition of the Internet as a ‘decentralized network of decentralized networks’ becomes ever more important. Both SingularityNET and Trace Labs have powerful capability to grow decentralized networks around knowledge graphs and associated AI capabilities; connecting these networks together into a cross-linked, cross-token meta-network will yield a host of different synergies enabling a broad-based boost in intelligent functionality. As a practical example: Putting together a subgraph of OriginTrail’s DKG decentralized knowledge graph covering shipping logistics, with a knowledge meta-graph living in the OpenCog Hyperon system deployed on SingularityNET covering the timing of events in various markets, one could achieve an unprecedented level of emergent knowledge in the minds of AI agents carrying out supply-chain planning and forecasting. SingularityNET’s new MeTTa-Motto tool integrating Hyperon symbolic AI with LLMs and other deep neural nets could play a critical role here. Similar examples exist in every vertical market, which gives this partnership an almost unbounded potential for economic benefit and human good.”

Žiga Drev, Managing Director of Trace Labs, added, “The benefits of AI are limitless and so are the risks, like hallucinations and model collapse as the growth in synthetic data outpaces the provision of real world data. A truly open AI that fosters inclusion and a more equitable distribution of value can only be achieved through a collaborative and modular approach. We are proud to partner with SingularityNet, founded and led by the visionary Dr. Ben Goertzel, who coined the Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Working alongside the leading visionaries at the convergence of crypto and AI opens exciting opportunities to accelerate real-world adoption of neuro-symbolic AI, combining the power of OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) and SingularityNET’s specialized marketplace for Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI models.”

Both organizations will also engage in collaborative marketing and social media efforts to promote their partnership and the innovations it brings to the blockchain world, the AI industry, and the intersection of these two sectors. The two partners are also mutually exploring and plan to integrate AI services into Trace Labs’ DKG and paranets.

The partnership is about working together today to solve the challenges of tomorrow; synergizing blockchains and knowledge graphs for safe, verifiable AI that emphasizes secure and privacy-preserving mechanisms for user authentication and authorization within the knowledge layer, and ultimately ensuring all data processing by users is rooted in their consent.

• Rollup-as-a-Service platform Caldera is launching Guardian Nodes, a production-ready node system that enables network users to verify rollup blocks for rewards.
• HYCHAIN, the first team to leverage this system with Caldera, generated $8 million from their initial node sale.

Caldera, the leading Rollup-as-a-Service (RaaS) platform, currently powers over fifty EVM rollups (including Manta, Injective inEVM, Kinto, HYCHAIN, Treasure, and ApeChain) that secure ~$1B in total value locked.

Along with their core rollup infrastructure, Caldera offers a catalog of over 50 integrations across the modular stack and an assortment of other custom user-facing tools for chains to leverage.

Guardian Nodes are the latest addition to that list.

The Background

Today, the majority of L1 blockchains operate using a proof-of-stake model, where a chain’s participants are incentivized via network rewards to lend their stake and validate the chain.

This incentive structure fosters decentralization by encouraging individual stakers to operate honest validators, while punishing those who don’t, making for an extremely high cost to attack a network and compromise its security.

Decentralizing Rollups

EVM rollups have all but solved the scalability problem, with L2s and L3s on Ethereum enabling virtually infinite scale. But, there’s still no incentive for honest network participants to monitor these rollups.

Caldera’s Guardian Nodes allow teams to decentralize their rollups by enabling users to verify blocks and secure the network in exchange for rewards. Under the hood, this is accomplished by introducing a novel “light verifier” to Arbitrum rollups that allows Guardian Node operators to verify Nitro batches on everyday hardware without needing to run a full node.

Teams can launch Guardian Nodes to their users through a “Node Sale”, which distributes “keys” that authenticate a node’s eligibility to submit claims and earn rewards, granting purchasers the ability to operate a Guardian Node on a given rollup.

HYCHAIN, the first team to leverage this system, raised over $8m across 16,000+ node keys in just 2 weeks, completely supercharging their community while generating significant revenue for their project.

By enabling more parties to watch over a rollup and identify malicious behavior, the network’s security grows more robust— a crucial step to establishing trust in the chain’s correctness. This in turn generates more demand for a rollup’s native token, which is required for users to participate in validation and helps provide practical cryptoeconomic security for the network.

Guardians Nodes are another notch in the belt of Caldera’s impressive infrastructure solution. With the success of HYCHAIN’s launch, we expect more teams building rollups to leverage this innovative product in the coming months.

RAIR Technologies today announced the launch of RAIRprotocol, a fully open-source dApp protocol layer. RAIRprotocol enables the creation of scalable dApps through an open token licensing model. Smart Account, Marketplace, DRM, & NFT infrastructure all in one place. RAIRprotocol offers out-of-the-box partnerships with Alchemy and Web3Auth, as well as integrations for Filebase, Google Cloud, Hashicorp, MongoDB Atlas, Coingecko, and many more. For the first time, 88+ documented API endpoints are available for enterprises to deploy via a novel open-source token licensing model.

“One of the main reasons Web3 isn’t growing and expanding beyond Web2 is because every Web3 startup wants to be Google. To succeed, Web3 must adhere to its foundational principles: decentralization, transparency, and community involvement,” said Ed Prado, CEO of RAIR Technologies. “Large enterprises can minimize risk and gain a strategic advantage by integrating directly with our code.”

The RAIR open-source codebase represents four years and $3mm+ of proprietary development. Developers have the flexibility to utilize RAIR Technologies and RAIRprotocol together or independently, tailoring their approach to suit their specific project requirements. The 6 launch open-source microservices services include:

• RAIRsolidity: Granular onchain NFT minting, royalty, resale, fungible token credit, and marketplace logic via ERC2535 upgradeable diamond multi-proxy contracts
• RAIRnode: A backend to create modular API endpoints and scalable off chain cloud infrastructure.
• RAIRfrontend: Deploying customizable mobile-first NFT marketplace frontends
• RAIRstream: DRM-protected content with a full FFmpeg encoder/transcoder
• RAIRsync: Specify all smart contract addresses to sync via Alchemy syncing engine
• RAIRinfra: Full open-sourcing of RAIR cloud infrastructure tooling including Kubernetes and terraform workflows

The RAIR open token license, inspired by the Apache 2.0 methodology, requires that an NFT license be included inside the NOTICE file of derivative works. This means that any projects based on or derived from RAIR’s open-source code must include a specific NFT license notice to maintain compliance with the licensing terms.

“With RAIRprotocol, developers can build onchain starting with a fully working box. It takes years and millions of dollars to build production grade dApps. By starting with a working opensource dApp, we can 10x the speed new developers onboard to Web3.” said Garrett Minks, CTO of RAIR Technologies.

The RAIRprotocol has been in active development since 2019 as an investor-backed, heretofore proprietary enterprise SaaS product. To learn about the RAIRprotocol and RAIR Technologies’ full suite of now open-source Web3 software, please visit https://rairprotocol.org/.

Chronicle Protocol is proud to announce the launch of support for zkSync. Scribe, blockchain’s first fully verifiable and cost-efficient Oracle, is live now on zkSync Era. Chronicle Protocol’s integration of zkSync unlocks decentralized, secure, and resilient price feeds for over 100 dApps already in the ecosystem.

Chronicle has launched on zkSync Era with its core Oracles, BTC/USD and ETH/USD, with more price feeds such as USDT/USD, USDC/USD, and WSTETH to follow.

“Together, Chronicle and zkSync combine the resilience of verifiable, gas-optimized, decentralized Oracles with the security and scalability of zk rollups, helping builders launch and serve their users on high integrity foundational infrastructure,” said Jennifer Senhaji, Head of BD & Growth at Chronicle.

Scribe tackles the underlying engineering problem behind the high cost of operating Oracles. The result is an Oracle that costs up to 6x less than Chainlink to update and 3.5x less than Pyth (on L1 and L2). This was achieved using Schnorr signatures – to read more about that, users can check out this research report by Token Terminal.

With Scribe’s arrival on zkSync Era, builders will immediately gain access to these huge cost-saving benefits without compromising on the security, resilience, or decentralization of the Oracle network.

Values aligned

Chronicle was the first Oracle on Ethereum back in 2017. It has long been a proponent of the “Ethereum approach”. Therefore, preserving its foundational values—freedom, self-sovereignty, and decentralization—values that both Chronicle and zkSync are built on—makes this integration a perfect fit in more ways than one. Chronicle is delighted to build together with those on the zkSync ecosystem.

The TL;DR on Scribe

Choosing an Oracle to secure a protocol and its TVL is the most important consideration of them all. With that in mind, Chronicle Protocol has prepared a short rundown of the questions every Oracle user should have definitive, verifiable answers to and how Scribe stacks up:

Where does the data come from?

Chronicle Scribe displays every data source in real-time and historically via The Chronicle, its on-chain dashboard. Users can pick an Oracle, choose a time and date on the graph, and click the drop-down arrow on any validator to see which exchanges were queried for the price data.

Oracle providers that use low volume and low liquidity exchanges or liquidity pools for data sources are the reason behind most DeFi protocol attacks. Every Oracle protocol should provide complete data source transparency to their users, and in a cryptographically verifiable way – not merely through words and images. Users are encouraged to seek verification rather than relyingsolely on trust.

How many validators or signers does the protocol have?

At Chronicle, protocol actors are referred to as validators. Other providers might call them signers or Oracles. These actors operate the nodes within the protocol that attest to the integrity of the reported data, such as the price of BTC/USD at a specific time.

This is how to establish truth in an Oracle network. Enough of these nodes must report back with the requested data to develop a consensus. However, if a bad actor can gain control of the majority of these nodes, they can manipulate the reported data. Therefore, the more validators or nodes an Oracle protocol has and the more distributed (or decentralized) they are, the more secure it is from being hacked.

Using The Chronicle, anyone can see who Chronicle Protocol’s validators are, which cryptocurrency pairs or Oracles they are sourcing data for, and when their reported data was last updated.

Scribe is the first Oracle design to pioneer the use of Schnorr signatures. This allows Chronicle Protocol to scale to an unlimited number of validators. No other Oracle protocol can achieve this as they all use an implementation of ECDSA that has a linear relationship between the number of validators and the cost of operating the Oracle.

Oracle networks constructed in this way must keep validator or signer numbers low to maintain a lower operating cost, sacrificing better security and decentralization.

Who are the protocol validators or signers

Knowing the identity of the validators is just as important as the total number. This is because an actor running a node can report any data they please. For example, they could have the node report that BTC is worth $10,000 when the market value is $40,000, creating an attack vector and draining the DeFi protocol the Oracle ‘secures.’

Therefore, decentralized and distributed nodes should be at the top of your Oracle provider shopping list unless you want your Oracle provider to have the power to drain your project. Right now, more than one Oracle provider runs all or the majority of its protocol’s nodes themselves, securing millions of dollars of TVL. Nothing stops them from draining your project if they get compromised. This is the risk of using a centralized Oracle.

At Chronicle, all of our validators are distributed and identifiable, and many are operated by well-known brands with a good reputation and track record—projects such as MakerDAO, Infura, Gnosis, Gitcoin, Etherscan, and DeFi Saver. Our goal is to create a validator community of some of the most used protocols in the space, creating a positive feedback loop of increasing security and decentralization.

What does it cost to operate the Oracles?

Oracles are very gas-hungry. For example, every time the BTC/USD Oracle (or Feed) updates to the latest price, this has a gas cost as it is required to post the result on-chain. Regardless of L1 or L2, the more updates, the more cost, and the Oracle provider shoulders that cost. Therefore, many Oracle providers look to update the data less frequently. This creates stale data and opens up opportunities for arbitrage, with both the Dapp and the user of the Dapp losing out.

With Scribe, we have tackled the underlying engineering problem behind the high cost of operating Oracles. The result is an Oracle that costs up to 6x less than Chainlink to update and 3.5x less than Pyth (on L1 and L2). This was achieved using Schnorr signatures – to read more about that, check out this research report by Token Terminal.

About Chronicle Protocol

Chronicle Protocol is a novel Oracle solution that has exclusively secured over $10B in assets for MakerDAO and its ecosystem since 2017. With a history of innovation, including the invention of the first Oracle on Ethereum, Chronicle Protocol continues to redefine Oracle networks. A blockchain-agnostic protocol, Chronicle overcomes the current limitations of transferring data on-chain by developing the first truly scalable, cost-efficient, decentralized, and verifiable Oracles, rewriting the rulebook on data transparency and accessibility.

Radix, a full-stack solution for Web3 and DeFi, is being used to build a cutting-edge prototype for a blockchain-based system that reduces the carbon footprint of global tourism — after being identified as the only network with the infrastructure needed to make the project a success.

Researchers developing the Carbon Tokenomics Model, which was unveiled on stage at COP28 as a revolutionary approach to tackling climate change, tested multiple blockchains in their search for a platform that was scalable enough to cope with the demands of the multibillion-dollar travel industry.

High transaction fees and slow confirmation times meant many of the world’s best-known chains were deemed unsuitable by the Surrey Academy for Blockchain and Metaverse Applications (SABMA) — except Radix, which boasts a unique consensus mechanism that can accommodate billions of users.

Speaking on stage at ITB Berlin, the world’s largest tourism trade fair, Eduard Goean, Visiting Professor at the University of Surrey, said: “We are building a prototype to prove that what we are saying could become reality. In order to make this, we have a partnership with the only blockchain company that we think in this moment is suitable for the visitor economy and the tourism industry. Why Radix? Because we analyzed the atomic composability and scalability of the blockchain.”

Tourism currently accounts for about 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions — equivalent to about 5.4 billion tonnes of CO2 — and there are fears that this figure could double by 2050 unless urgent action is taken. The goal of the Carbon Tokenomics Model is to help businesses and organizations across the visitor economy accurately measure their footprint, and take steps to mitigate it.

The efficiency of existing offsetting solutions has been difficult to assess, especially in the voluntary carbon market. Although such credits can enable businesses, including airlines to diminish the environmental impact of their operations, some schemes have faced criticism for over-representing the reduction of CO2 emissions they cause.

Full transparency on the blockchain has the potential to give the tourism and hospitality trade confidence that they’re making a difference — and having a positive environmental impact. Some of the research being carried out by the University of Surrey is being partly funded by the U.K. government through a Knowledge Transfer Partnership, offering a vote of confidence into the importance and credibility of this project.

A detailed research paper on the mechanics of the Carbon Tokenomics Model is due to be published in the coming months, with Radix founder Dan Hughes now working with SABMA on bringing this concept to life.

Hughes said: “Radix’s Cerberus consensus mechanism followed eight years of hard work, and it’s now paying off. Our infrastructure is now being recognized in the business world as technologically superior to other blockchains — finally giving entrepreneurs the tools they need to bring ambitious ideas to market. I’m proud that Radix is playing its part in the battle against climate change, which is one of the most pressing issues our world faces right now. Our involvement with the Carbon Tokenomics Model and the future-forward team at SABMA shows the use cases for Radix extend far beyond DeFi and crypto.”

About Radix

Radix is the only full-stack, Layer 1 smart contract platform that offers a radically better experience both for users and developers. With Radix, users can confidently use Web3 and DeFi to manage their assets and identities. For developers, Scrypto and Radix Engine provide a powerful and secure asset-oriented programming paradigm that allows builders to intuitively go from idea to production-ready dApps that their users will love.

XION’s Chain Abstraction combines XION’s ease-of-use with seamless composability of users, apps, and liquidity across connected blockchains, beginning today with Injective.

XION aims to make Web3 easier to navigate for all users by abstracting away its inherent complexities. Through familiar Web2 methods like email, users can seamlessly interact with XION applications across all devices, including desktop and mobile. Users can also enjoy a frictionless experience reminiscent of traditional Web2 platforms without the concerns associated with blockchain technology, such as gas fees. Today’s Chain Abstraction launch serves as an extension of these functionalities to other connected blockchain ecosystems.

“Just like the internet, users shouldn’t need to know which infrastructure applications they are using are built on. All that matters is that it works,” said Burnt Banksy, a core contributor to XION. He added, “We’re proud to launch Chain Abstraction as it vastly accelerates XION’s impact in making Web3 accessible to all users.”

Previously, cross-chain usability has been notoriously difficult for users to navigate and has resulted in fragmentation across ecosystems. However, with Chain Abstraction, XION aims to reshape the historically competitive nature of L1s – who typically fight for users, liquidity, and developers – to enable mainstream adoption. Through the inaugural integration with Injective, users can utilize Talis with their XION account, without needing to grapple with complexities such as cross-chain bridging, browser plugins, seed phrases, gas fees, and transaction signing.

XION will progressively roll out its user-friendly Chain Abstraction to many more ecosystems. Interested users can try XION’s Chain Abstraction on testnet today.
