Unleashing the potential of AI with Polkadot: the blockchain-powered revolution
By Polkadot•April 15, 2024
Blockchain technology has opened up a world of possibilities, and nowhere is this more evident than in the emerging field of artificial intelligence (AI). The Polkadot network is at the forefront of this revolution, serving as a powerful platform for innovative AI projects that are pushing the boundaries of what's possible. In this blog, we'll dive into some of the most exciting AI initiatives within the Polkadot ecosystem, exploring how these projects are leveraging Polkadot's advanced capabilities to solve real-world challenges and shape the future of decentralized AI. From decentralized knowledge graphs to secure computing infrastructure and peer-to-peer learning, the Polkadot blockchain is proving to be an essential enabler of the AI revolution.
Join us as we explore this dynamic intersection of cutting-edge technology, where the potential of AI is unleashed through the power of Polkadot.
OriginTrail - Decentralizing Knowledge for AI Models
In an era of digital information, the internet has given us massive opportunities with loads of valuable information at our fingertips. However, this has also introduced a world where misinformation quite often takes hold. In an effort to combat this, OriginTrail presents a unique solution leveraging blockchain technology with AI to create original sources of information.
With OriginTrail, enterprises and individuals can build Knowledge Assets that contain valuable information or intellectual property and tie those into the ecosystem’s decentralized knowledge graph (DKG). This graph organizes critical data, making it discoverable and verifiable, which is a crucial foundation for trusted AI solutions. Instead of purely generated (possibly hallucinated) AI responses, DKG enables AI outputs with information provenance and verifiability. The same data can also be used for safer and more effective training of AI models. The DKG and Neuroweb, a permissionless EVM blockchain secured by Polkadot validators, allow for these knowledge assets to be searchable and verifiable by any AI model.
Why Polkadot? While OriginTrail's Knowledge assets and functionalities are multi-chain, the latest version of the DKG V6 was initially launched on NeuroWeb, a parachain on Polkadot's scalable infrastructure. NeuroWeb is also the only blockchain focused on pursuing a truly open and decentralized AI future by incentivizing high-quality knowledge creation through Knowledge mining. The strength of Polkadot’s blockchain technology ensures the verifiability and security of both, NeuroWeb blockchain and the DKG, enabling a powerful merge of Web3 and AI technologies. This pathway for OriginTrail allows for inclusiveness, interoperability, neutrality and an innovation in their approach.

Phala Network - Secure and Scalable Computing for AI
Phala Network recently unveiled its newest advancement on their platform, pivoting from the Phat Contract to what is now called an AI-Agent Contract. This new framework along with its decentralized network, supportive AI models, and secure technology allows for facilitating coordination and collaboration between decentralized AI agents operating on a blockchain network. This move is deeply intentional to mark AI as vital to the activities on blockchain, while also enabling secure, efficient, and scalable computation.
What’s more is that Phala is proposing these AI agents can work on complex problems, without a centralized authority, and do so across a variety of blockchain networks. The implications of this technology are significant, as it opens the door to building genuinely autonomous AI systems that can learn, reason, and make decisions in a decentralized way.
Why Polkadot? Phala's integration with Polkadot enhances its capability to offer verifiable computation and data protection, making Web3 applications safer, faster, and more reliable.

Bittensor - Decentralized AI through Peer-to-Peer Learning
Bittensor is revolutionizing machine learning and AI development through a decentralized, peer-to-peer network. The core idea behind Bittensor is to create a marketplace for machine intelligence, where AI models can collaborate, share knowledge, and learn from one another in a decentralized manner. This differs from traditional centralized approaches, where AI models are often siloed and developed in isolation.
By establishing a decentralized network, Bittensor enables AI models to form a "digital hive mind," rapidly expanding their collective intelligence and knowledge base. The project utilizes blockchain technology to create a transparent, incentivized system where contributors are rewarded for sharing their AI models, insights, and computational resources. This decentralized approach promotes innovation, minimizes the risk of corruption, and improves the overall efficiency of the AI development process.
Why Polkadot? Although Bittensor is not a Polkadot parachain, it leverages the Polkadot SDK for its infrastructure. This integration with Polkadot's robust and scalable platform is a significant strength for Bittensor because Polkadot's architecture provides Bittensor with the necessary interoperability, scalability, and security features to support the massive computational demands and data processing required by its decentralized AI network. Polkadot allows Bittensor to seamlessly exchange AI insights and resources across the network, furthering the development and adoption of its innovative decentralized AI solutions.
