How artificial intelligence can enhance blockchain platforms

AI and blockchain are rarely utilized together — but combining these technologies could unlock a plethora of use cases.

Artificial intelligence and blockchain are both touted as technologies that will lead our future. But here’s the problem: They’re like oil and water. While innovative in their own right, there’s a noticeable lack of interconnectedness — projects that tightly combine AI and blockchain, unleashing the full potential of both emerging technologies. 

Technical hurdles have been largely to blame for this. Integrating AI into the smart contracts that exist today is practically impossible. The two often rely on entirely different programming paradigms — and while smart contracts use data sparingly to reduce transaction fees, many AI models process vast amounts of data as well as a large amount of computing resources to make decisions.

Smart contracts are also incredibly strict, meaning that an outcome can only be achieved when a range of strict parameters are met. As a result, they can be ill-suited to the world of AI, where 100% accuracy is hard to achieve, especially when it comes to image and audio recognition. This demand for flexibility has created the need for a new generation of smart contracts, able to handle highly accurate (albeit imperfect) input and receive a perfect output. 

As the EU Blockchain Forum noted in a recent report, combining these two technologies isn’t just desirable… it is a necessity. The authors wrote: “In the real world, especially in large-scale use cases, blockchain, AI and IoT are likely to work in concert. In a smart city, blockchain could be combined with IoT and AI on an infrastructure level to manage critical systems that cities depend upon, as well as improve quality of life for residents through safer and better designed urban environments.”

The use cases

But what exactly would bringing blockchain and artificial intelligence together mean in practice? What are the tangible applications that end users would have to look forward to?

Projects involved in the space argue that decentralized apps have an opportunity to become far more advanced than they are now. Trading strategies could be informed by AI — and smart contracts could become infinitely more flexible. Blockchain platforms have the chance to offer a more convenient alternative to private keys — which can often be cumbersome to remember and store securely — with users gaining access to balances through facial recognition.

Together, AI and blockchain can also be leveraged in many other fields such as big data and IoT, insurance, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and many more. In all cases, AI plays an important role in processing data or automating human tasks to feed information into blockchain. 

Experts have argued that AI can be just as effective as people are at many tasks — and better still, they can operate 24/7 without suffering from fatigue or becoming susceptible to human error. Likewise, blockchains are increasingly being deployed to provide transparency transactions and data to consumers. The possibilities are endless as long as there’s a way for blockchain developers to implement AI into their platforms.

AI and blockchain ecosystems at Oraichain

Oraichain is one of the companies that has been making a concerted effort to bring AI into the blockchain — unlocking compelling use cases in the process.

The data oracle platform says it enhances smart contracts by enabling them to securely access AI through APIs — unlocking reliable data in the process. Together with the launch of Oraichain Mainnet, more than 100 of these APIs are already open to the public in February. 

A developers platform called Oraichain Studio helps integrate those APIs into smart contracts was launched in April 2021 — verifying the correctness of AI output, and then distributing the data generated across multiple blockchains without centralized control. In time, this could broaden access to highly trained AI models, enabling greater numbers of people to benefit from what this technology has to offer.  

Oraichain has created a marketplace where experts can sell their services — ranging from AI-enhanced yield farming to price prediction and face authentication tools. As well as enabling specialists to monetize their work, executives argue that this allows smaller firms to enjoy a more level playing field with the industry titans who dominate the space. 

The business is about to launch a new system, aiRight. Described as the world’s first all-in-one NFT creation and copyright management platform, it offers a complete set of services for the nonfungible token market — including generating NFTs with AI and securing copyrights on-chain. AI services also allow users to easily verify the uniqueness and authenticity of NFTs.

The company was launched by Dr Chung Dao, who has a PhD in computer science and lectures at Hanoi University of Science and Technology. In the last six months, Oraichain announced that it had formed a number of strategic partnerships with Rikkeisoft, KardiaChain, VAIOT, and OCEAN Protocol. 

Rikkeisoft is a Vietnam-based IT firm with more than 1,000 employees, that would provide Oraichain necessary human resources to enhance some of Oraichain’s flagship projects — including the DeFi-focused service yAI.finance, and its AI marketplace, aiRight, and more to come.

Rikkeisoft’s CEO and co-founder Phan The Dung said at the time: "At Rikkei, we have been tracking the developments of Oraichain right from the start. We found it unique as it merges the untapped potential of AI and blockchain technologies.”

Overall, it is hoped that those partnerships will serve as a stepping stone to scale the business, and help Oraichain gain a greater presence in the U.S. and Japan with its AI and blockchain technology.

DeFi isn’t dead, it just needs to fix these 3 critical problems

It’s been a rough year for DeFi, and it may not get any better until projects focus more on security, regulation and usability. The persistent challenges  decentralized finance  face have been well documented by a handful of analysts and the recent collapse of the Terra ecosystem re-enforced the fact that something is critically wrong with DeFi. I think DeFi today is completely broken for 99% of the population. The promise of a more transparent financial system has been overtaken by greed. UST/LUNA is just the latest in a string of bad developments: — Peter Yang (@petergyang) May 11, 2022 Let's take a look at what experts say DeFi needs to do in order to have another revival.  Improved usability To date, the promise of open and uncensored access to a global decentralized financial system has been largely hampered by the complicated interface, confusing multi-step staking processes and lack of clarity surrounding the yields on various tokens.

ENS DAO delegates offer perspective on DAO governance and decentralized identity

AlphaWallet CEO and Spruce co-founder talk about their roles as contributors to the Ethereum Name Service following the project's recent airdrop. Earlier this month, the Ethereum Name Service, or ENS, formed a decentralized autonomous organization, or DAO, for the ENS community.  Cointelegraph spoke to two ENS DAO delegates who applied for the opportunity to represent the community and stay involved in the decision making process: Victor Zhang, CEO of AlphaWallet, an open source Ethereum wallet, and Gregory Rocco, co-founder of Spruce, a decentralized ID and data toolkit for developers. Zhang spoke about his experience as an external contributor to ENS and an early supporter since 2018. Zhang initially sought to help ENS by offering Alpha Wallet as a user-friendly tool for  resolving .eth names and cryptocurrency wallet addresses. Essentially, if a user inputs an .eth name in the AlphaWallet, it will show the wallet address, and vice versa using reverse resolution. Alpha...

National Futures Association adds rules for members handling digital assets

The CFTC-linked self-regulatory organization (SRO) has disclosure rules for members engaging in activities with BTC and ETH; now, standards of conduct are being added. The National Futures Association (NFA), the United States self-regulatory organization for derivatives markets, has issued a new compliance rule addressing members’ conduct. The new rule complements requirements issued in 2018. The NFA has “well over 100” members that engage in activities with digital asset commodities, but no way to address fraud or misconduct committed by those members, the organization explained to secretary of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Christopher Kirkpatrick in a Feb. 28 letter as it submitted the proposed new rule for approval. The new rule is modelled on the NFA’s antifraud rules for exchange traded futures and swaps transaction and retail foreign exchange. The NFA is the only registered self-regulatory organization that has delegated authority from the CFTC, giving it a...
