Cortex
by Cortex Labs
Quick Fact
Cortex is the first public blockchain to support AI inference directly on-chain, allowing smart contracts to execute AI models within the decentralized network.
Cortex is a decentralized, open-source blockchain platform designed to bring artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to smart contracts. By enabling AI models to be uploaded and executed on-chain, Cortex allows developers to create AI-enhanced decentralized applications (dApps) that can make intelligent decisions based on real-time data.
AI Integration in Smart Contracts
Cortex introduces the Cortex Virtual Machine (CVM), an extension of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which supports AI inference instructions. This allows smart contracts to incorporate machine learning models, enabling functionalities such as image recognition, natural language processing, and predictive analytics directly on the blockchain.
Incentivized AI Model Ecosystem
To foster a collaborative AI ecosystem, Cortex incentivizes AI developers to upload their models to the blockchain. These models can be accessed and utilized by dApp developers, creating a competitive environment that encourages the development of high-quality AI solutions. This approach democratizes AI technology, making it accessible to a broader range of developers and applications.
