In Part 1 of this series, we introduced the concept of using a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) to govern the lifecycle of an AI model, specifically focusing on the ingestion of training data. In this post, we focus on the writing and deployment of the Ethereum smart contract that contains the outcome of the DAO decisions.

Blockchain and generative AI are two technical fields that have received a lot of attention in the recent years. There is an emerging set of use cases that can benefit from these two technologies. In this four-part series, we build a solution that governs the training data ingestion process of an AI model, using a smart contract and serverless components. We guide you through the different steps to build the solution. In this post, we review the overall architecture of the solution, and set up a large language model (LLM) knowledge base.

Tokenization is the process of creating a digital asset on a blockchain that can represent various assets, including physical assets, digital assets, or even rights of ownership. In this post, we explore the advantages of tokenizing real estate assets using blockchain technology in order to streamline property ownership transfers. We discuss the benefits of tokenization and how it can modernize existing real estate processes, which could potentially extend to other industries and asset classes.

Bitcoin is the most widely adopted and valuable cryptocurrency, known for its decentralization and security. Stacks, a Layer 2 solution built on top of Bitcoin, aims to unlock Bitcoin’s full potential by enabling fast, cheap, Bitcoin-secured transactions and smart contract functionality without modifying the Bitcoin protocol itself. Stacks uses a consensus mechanism called Proof of […]

In September 2022, Ethereum transitioned to a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus model. This change allows anyone with a minimum of 32 ether to stake their holdings and operate a validator node, thereby participating in network validation and earning staking rewards. In this post, we explore the technical challenges and requirements of operating an institutional-grade Ethereum staking service. Additionally, we outline a solution for deploying an Ethereum staking service on AWS.

Different types of blockchain applications and users demand varying types of private key management solutions, referred to as wallets. Custodial wallets are managed by third-party vendors such as a centralized crypto exchange, whereas non-custodial wallets give you full control and ownership over your private keys and funds. Crypto-native users with experience managing their own digital […]

This is a guest post co-written by Arnaud Briche, the Founder of Agnostic. At Agnostic, our mission is to democratize access to well-structured blockchain data. We aim to provide a swift, user-friendly, and robust method for querying the vast volumes of data generated by smart contract blockchains. As a company, for performance reasons we first […]

In the rapidly evolving realm of Web3, developers face the daunting challenge of managing and using vast amounts of blockchain data. This is where ZettaBlock steps in, revolutionizing Web3 development by offering a unified platform that integrates real-time and historical on-chain and off-chain data, both public and private. Enhanced with AI-driven tools, ZettaBlock is designed […]

In order to build an application that interacts with the Bitcoin blockchain, whether it be a wallet, an Ordinals marketplace, or a BTC exchange, you must be able to reliably access the Bitcoin network. For example, you will need to read critical data from the blockchain that acts as input for properly constructed Bitcoin transactions. […]

In the evolving landscape of blockchain technology, understanding the intricacies of node deployment on AWS is paramount in order to be able to interact with the blockchain. In this post, we provide a comprehensive overview of the role nodes serve in blockchain networks, cover the spectrum of available node types, discuss use cases, and present […]
