Ankr has released Neura, the blockchain for AI.
Neura is an EVM-compatible blockchain built on the CosmosSDK, designed to tackle the challenges AI developers face when bringing new projects to market such as:
▫️Lack of GPU resources
▫️Funding
▫️Scaling data accessibility
Neura’s architecture creates a solid foundation of infra for AI startups offering access to:
▫️Decentralized GPU resources
▫️Crypto-based crowdfunding through IMOs, Initial Model Offerings
▫️On-chain AI operations
Neura introduces an innovative funding and economic model for AI startups.
IMO’s, or Initial Model Offerings enable AI projects to secure investment and computational resources via decentralized crowdfunding.
This is made possible through ERC-404 and ERC-7641 token standards supported by Neura to facilitate fractional ownership and revenue sharing of AI models.
Neura utilizes off-chain decentralized storage solutions such as IPFS.
This approach ensures both efficient and secure data storage, while the blockchain maintains data integrity.
The ANKR token is the heart of Neura’s ecosystem.
It serves as the universal currency for accessing GPU resources, participating in IMOs, & acquiring AI services.
Moreover, it incentivizes GPU providers & rewards AI devs, nurturing an ecosystem of innovation & expansion.
