In Web3, there's a paradox where users are forced to trust dApps and smart contracts, even though the ecosystem is meant to be "trustless." Current centralized audits and static security measures aren't enough to protect end consumers or protocol owners. Decentralized AI offers a way out by helping users figure out which applications are to be trusted, thus bringing the implicit trust that's required for a user to use a Web3 Dapp.

AI can solve for several key challenges in the industry. It can power the trust and security of Web 3.0 dApps while also enabling a smart trustless execution thus making the ecosystem truly trustless.

Key Focus Areas

• Decentralized AI for Web3 Security

• Crypto is a substrate for the actions of the AI

• Blind Computing & Federated Learning as the key to a truly decentralized AI ecosystem
