ChainOpera AI whitepaper describes the layer-wise architecture of ChainOpera AI’s platform that consists of:
- The Blockchain L1 and AI Protocol to enable co-owning and co-creating decentralized AI agents and apps. Layer 1 would be optimized for AI Inference efficiency, scalability, and security, with AI OS integrated.
- The Federated AI OS™, which is a novel platform for creating, deploying, and managing AI agents for everyone. It seamlessly integrates Launchpad, ChainOpera AI (CoAI) SDK, AI Agent Framework, and AI Agent Template Marketplace to streamline the AI agent creation process.
- The Federated AI Platform, the world's pioneering decentralized machine learning platform, that enables all AI resource contributors—including data, model, and GPU providers—to participate in serving AI agents and apps while earning rewards. This platform builds on years of experience with TensorOpera.ai and FedML.ai.
- Flagship AI Agents and Apps, particularly AI Terminal mobile app, that showcase how community-driven AI resources can drive AI agent innovation and promote private data sovereignty within the protocol. The community can co-own and co-create diverse autonomous and socialized AI agents.
ChainOpera’s whitepaper also outlines the vision, architecture, and technological framework of the ChainOpera AI Protocol (CoAI). The CoAI Protocol is designed to foster co-ownership and co-creation, enabling all participants to collaboratively build and advance a healthier, more equitable AI-driven ecosystem. By integrating blockchain capabilities, CoAI protocol ensures security, transparency, trustworthiness, and a shared economy across its network. It aligns the interests of all stakeholders through fair participation and incentivized contributions.
The protocol empowers diverse contributors within the ecosystem, including:
- AI App and Agent Creators: Developers can seamlessly join the ecosystem to create and launch monetizable AI agents, benefiting from integrated blockchain security, privacy, and transparent reward systems.
- AI App and Agent Users: Users retain full data sovereignty while accessing AI services. They can stake and monetize their data to improve AI models, enabling secure and private collaboration that also rewards user participation.
- Resource Providers: Contributors such as GPU/compute providers, raw data suppliers, data annotators, and AI model developers can offer essential resources for training, deploying, and scaling AI applications. Their contributions are rewarded via a proof-of-intelligence system, ensuring equitable compensation.
Multilateral Value Network

The ChainOpera ecosystem’s economic flows are categorized into five aspects based on the machine learning lifecycle:
- LaunchPad Value Flow (Purple and Red Color): Revenue generated from transactions on the LaunchPad, including agent creation and utilization.
- Agent API Value Flow (Green Color): Tokenized payments for API services offered by AI agents.
- Model Serving API Value Flow (Orange Color): Rewards distributed among GPU and model providers for supporting AI inference tasks.
- Contribution Value Flow (Black Color): Rewards for contributors such as data annotators, GPU providers, and model developers.
- Model Training Value Flow (Blue Color): Transparent fee structures for training models using platform resources.
Proof-of-Intelligence

The Proof-of-Intelligence system lies at the heart of ChainOpera's consensus mechanism, facilitating equitable collaboration across all AI contributors. Designed to reward measurable contributions, this system introduces innovative methods for:
- Proof-of-Contribution-Based Rewards: Ensures fair compensation for AI contributors, including data annotators, GPU providers, and model developers, based on their contributions to AI models and services.
- Privacy-Preserving Decentralized Training: Protects sensitive user data by employing federated learning techniques, eliminating the need to move data from its source.
- Robustness Against Malicious Actors: Incorporates mechanisms to detect and mitigate attempts to poison models or disrupt collaborative efforts.
- Verifiable Computation Integrity: Utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to verify the correctness of all computations, ensuring transparency and trustworthiness.
By combining advanced cryptographic techniques with decentralized infrastructure, proof-of-intelligence empowers a secure and fair AI ecosystem that fosters collaboration and innovation.
Introducing the CO-AI Alliance
CO-AI Alliance is an open initiative aimed at fostering collaboration among developers, enterprises, and community members to advance decentralized AI applications. The Alliance offers opportunities for co-training, co-serving, and co-owning AI agents.
