DeAI Nexus: Building the Foundational Layer for On-Chain Artificial Intelligence

By: GlobePRwire

— A Frontline Engineering Project in the Decentralized AI Revolution


As artificial intelligence and blockchain—two of the most advanced technological systems—rapidly converge, the global demand for verifiable, on-chain AI systems is growing at an unprecedented pace.


At the forefront of this transformation, DeAI Nexus is pioneering a trusted AI infrastructure rooted in the Web3 world, built on three core pillars: on-chain execution, community activation, and algorithmic self-evolution.


Currently in the community evangelism, mainnet construction, and foundational model development phases, DeAI Nexus is steadily paving the way from vision to reality. Our mission is to provide a transparent, auditable, and sustainable open execution environment for the intelligent ecosystems of the future.



Three Core Pillars: Algorithms × Data × Compute

On-chain AI is more than just deploying models onto the blockchain—it requires redefining AI’s training mechanisms, execution workflows, and trust boundaries. The system DeAI Nexus is building rests on three foundational pillars:



1. Algorithms — The Backbone of On-Chain Execution and Verification


The AI models developed by DeAI Nexus are no longer closed black boxes. Instead, they are open-architecture frameworks that support verifiable execution and fully traceable on-chain operations. With technical input from one of the world’s leading visual large-model research laboratories in cross-lingual generation, model compression, and intelligent scheduling, DeAI Nexus adopts zero-knowledge machine learning (zkML) as its core method to deliver:

 • Model compression and latency optimization tailored for on-chain performance

 • Proof-based inference and verifiable outputs

 • Standardized interoperability between multilingual semantic understanding and smart contract interaction


This framework enables direct auditing of inference results via smart contracts, ensuring AI operates as a trusted and compliant on-chain module.



2. Data — The Value-Driven Core Fuel


Data is the essential resource powering AI—but in the Web3 world, it must not only be accurate, but also traceable, verifiable, and permissioned.


With protocol expertise from one of the world’s largest blockchain-based gaming ecosystems, DeAI Nexus is building a multi-modal data engine based on on-chain behavior mapping, interaction traceability, and semantic annotation:

 • Structured data source labeling and authorization

 • Dual-index system linking on-chain behavior to semantic meaning

 • Multi-modal data pipelines for AI model training


This data protocol framework will serve as reliable fuel for intelligent agents, model training, and contract-based decision-making within the DeAI Nexus ecosystem.


3. Compute — The Engine of Decentralized Intelligence


The boundaries of AI capability are defined by computing power. DeAI Nexus employs a globally collaborative community model to build a decentralized compute scheduling network, reducing reliance on the monopolized compute power of centralized giants:

 • GPU and edge nodes participating in AI inference tasks

 • Distributed model sharding for parallel execution

 • On-chain incentive protocols to allocate resources and maintain stable model performance


This architecture ensures openness, fairness, and censorship resistance, while offering a direct physical entry point for community participation.


Roadmap: Mainnet Construction × Community Consensus × Model Development


DeAI Nexus is advancing along three parallel tracks:

 1. Community Evangelism — Sharing our vision, consensus mechanism, and economic model to help the community deeply understand the project’s core

 2. Mainnet Construction — Deploying key on-chain modules such as proof protocols, model contracts, and zkML routers

 3. Model Development — Integrating zk-routing mechanisms into foundational model structures to support future fine-tuning and task allocation

DeAI Nexus is not launching as a one-off product—it is building a decentralized AI backbone network designed for long-term evolution.


Cross-Domain Collaboration and Technical Foundations


The DeAI Nexus architecture is not built in isolation—it integrates cross-domain expertise and direct technical contributions:

 • Algorithm Layer — Structural compression and scheduling logic supported by one of the world’s leading visual large-model research laboratories

 • Protocol Layer — On-chain data logic refined with expertise from a top-tier global blockchain-based gaming ecosystem

 • Execution Layer — Zero-knowledge machine learning serving as the execution and proof standard for on-chain AI

 • Community Layer — Global node participation as the foundation for AI training compute power


Algorithms, data, and compute together form the trust framework and technical foundation of DeAI Nexus.

Vision Statement: Defined by Us, Empowering All of Humanity


We reject the notion that AI must be controlled by centralized clouds or confined to closed platforms. DeAI Nexus has chosen a harder but more authentic path:


We do not want AI to be a tool for the few, nor do we believe intelligence should belong only to centralized entities. We believe that true intelligence must be collectively defined by global nodes to be worthy of humanity’s future.
