Making it Decentralized! Kite AI launches world’s first AI-focused Blockchain on Avalanche

Kite AI, the decentralized AI infrastructure provider, announced on Feb 6, its first AI-focused Layer 1 sovereign Blockchain built on Avalanche, the Blockchain platform. Currently launched in its testnet stage, it made its public testnet live on its platform, Kite AI. The launch is intended for providing free, transparent mechanisms for data providers, AI models and autonomous agents developers. By using Avalanche’s high scalability and 4,500+ TPS rate (Transactions per second), it will be able to process Kite AI’s heavy AI workloads.

How Avalanche will help in managing AI workloads

Since AI models and datasets require fast data processing and high computational powers, Avalanche’s sub-second finality and lower gas fees will help the developers. Its EVM compatibility will also allow Ethereum developers, ensuring their integration with existing AI-focused apps. Avalanche’s Proof-of-stake (PoS) will provide the required security to the datasets being shared by the contributors and developers. The low cost of storing and processing will make it affordable for developers and enterprises to reap the benefits of Decentralized AI by Kite AI. However, its handling of large-scale workloads can check its limits. With KiteAI becoming part of the Avalanche infraBUILD (AI) program, it is set to accelerate the fusion of Artificial Intelligence and Decentralised infrastructure while enhancing Kite AI’s decentralised AI platform. The subnet customization that Avalanche launched last Dec via Avalanche900 upgrade will provide the scalability for Kite AI’s decentralised ecosystem.

Kite AI’s vision – Development of Decentralized AI

As Kite AI launches the specialized Blockchain for development of decentralised AI, individuals and subnets can be empowered to own and control their own AI models and data – thus, reducing the traditionally dominating and centralised character of AI. The Blockchain-empowered development of Decentralized AI using blockchain also ensures the verifiable ownership of AI-generated content, datasets and model contributions – decreasing risks of frauds, theft and privacy concerns.
The dominating ownerships of high-quality data such as supply chain and retail transactions, health records by centralized entities exclude small and independent developers from the development process. However, the vision of the AI economy to contribute to every data provider, agent and developer can change the centralised narrative. Using Kite AI’s Programmable AI Value Chain, developers can create an optimised workflow and build their own ideal AI stack.

Using its Proof of AI mechanism, developers can receive fair attribution for their contributions. When asked “Is AI truly for all?”, Kite AI founders responded with their vision, “We don’t believe it is, and we are here to change that”. The collaborative ecosystem that it is allowing for developers, data providers, and agents can create a trustless, and transparent environment for the de-centralised AI economy.
