AI Agents and Web3: Preventing Westworld-style Defections
"Have you ever questioned the nature of your reality?"
(Westworld)
1. The role of AI Agent in Web3
The rise and trend of decentralized AI
With the development of blockchain and artificial intelligence, decentralized AI is becoming an emerging trend. Traditional AI is controlled by a few giants and data, but under the decentralized approach, multiple parties can collaborate to contribute computing power and data, alleviate data monopoly and enhance security and inclusiveness.
For example, public chain ecosystems such as BNB Chain are actively exploring decentralized AI infrastructure, gathering idle GPU and other computing resources through incentive mechanisms, and creating distributed "supercomputers" to train large models. In this model, individuals and organizations can contribute idle resources to obtain returns, which is more cost-effective than centralized cloud computing. At the same time, there are also attempts to split large models and have multiple nodes jointly host reasoning (similar to the Petals project that distributes each layer of the LLM model to different nodes) to reduce single-point pressure. These explorations show that decentralized AI infrastructure is taking shape, providing a new path for open innovation of AI models.

Citizen Z Manifesto: A New Digital Age Proposed by FHE Leaders
<br /><br />https://medium.com/@mindnetwork/citizen-z-manifesto-fhe-leaders-propose-a-new-digital-age-db5d24c71039 <br /><br />
"What would it look like if we could maintain human rights through mathematics, technology, and means beyond control? That is the power of cryptographic technology."
——Edward Snowden, Token2049 2024
"Citizen Z puts forward a future that aligns with Zama's vision, and we are realizing this vision through our FHE products and services. The biggest obstacle to an open data economy is the lack of security and sovereignty protection for data. FHE eliminates this barrier, bringing superior AI, superior asset ownership, superior healthcare, and superior transactions."

When will AI Hallucinations and Bias cease? Mira Network strikes back: Reshaping the foundation of AI trust with blockchain
The wave of AI sweeps across the globe, from poetry and painting to code generation; beneath the omnipotent facade lies a fatal Achilles' heel—reliability.
‘AI Hallucinations’ (seriously nonsensical) and ‘Bias’ (colored by training data) haunt us, limiting AI's application in high-risk fields like healthcare, finance, law, and fostering doubt.
As AI becomes stronger, the reliance on human verification deepens, which is undoubtedly a paradox and a significant bottleneck hindering AI's progress towards true autonomous intelligence.

Mind Network Fully Homomorphic Encryption FHE Reshaping the Future of AI
TL; DR
In simple terms: What is Mind Network?
Imagine if all your data was like a safe that never opens, yet you could still use the contents inside without opening it. This is what Mind Network aims to achieve.
Mind Network has developed a technology called 'Fully Homomorphic Encryption' (FHE) that keeps your data encrypted throughout the entire process while still allowing it to be computed and processed.
A table to understand the information flow processing of Mind Network:
Pain points in the AI era: privacy protection and data rights
The modern internet communication process is like sending a letter: the envelope is sealed during transit (which is what the HTTPS protocol does), but upon arrival, the recipient must open the envelope to read the contents.

First Release! Ethereum Releases Future Plans Part 5: Cleanup
Background
A major challenge facing Ethereum is the expansion and complexity of the blockchain protocol.
This issue is primarily reflected in two aspects:
1. Historical Data Bloat: All nodes must permanently store all historical data (such as transaction records, account information), which increases synchronization and storage burden.
2. Increasing Protocol Features: New features are continuously added, but old features are difficult to remove, leading to increased code complexity.
Cleanup Goals
1. Reduce Client Storage Requirements: Decrease or eliminate each node's permanent storage requirement for all historical data.
2. Reduce Protocol Complexity: Remove unnecessary features.
Cleanup Methods
1. Historical Data Cleanup
1) By establishing a distributed storage network, each node only needs to store a portion of historical data (similar to a seed network).
2) The proposed EIP-4444 introduces a one-year historical data storage limit and plans to gradually transition to a model that only retains the latest data.
2. State Cleanup
1) Store data through sharding, retaining only the most recently accessed data.
2) Address-Period State Cleanup: Introduce an expiration period for each address, storing only the recently accessed state within a specific period.
3. Feature Streamlining
Gradually remove seldom-used or unnecessary features (such as SELFDESTRUCT opcode, old transaction types, synchronization committee mechanisms, etc.)
Future Plans and Possible Radical Schemes
1. Radical Scheme: Move a large number of protocol features into contract code. For example, only retain the beacon chain as the base layer, with the execution environment as an independent rollup, similar to past proposals for an “execution environment,” but made possible through SNARKs technology.
2. Change Virtual Machine: For instance, use RISC-V or Cairo as the new Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and transpile EVM contracts into new virtual machine code, simplifying the protocol and improving efficiency.

Let's talk about voting today
Voting behavior exists in many scenarios in the blockchain. The narrow sense of protocol proposal governance and the broad sense of PoS consensus achievement all involve voting
But in reality, because the blockchain is open and transparent, voting is actually completely open. We can see which voting options have more attention, and we can also see which options the "big players" have chosen.
This leads to a problem. We are not actually voting for real, but are affected by the environment.
Whether it is bribed or coerced, once the vote cannot express the truth, it may cause damage.
For example, in decentralized AI projects, nodes can control voting and screen out the desired large model, thereby replacing the fair iteration of the large model itself.
In order to avoid this problem, encrypted voting appears.
Encrypted voting is more suitable for application on blockchain. Because the blockchain cannot be tampered with, we can accurately and in detail the results of each vote.
Add cryptography, encrypt voting behavior, we can do encrypted voting without permission, maintain relative fairness, but it is essentially a procedural justice.
Voting mainly includes: determining voting rights, voting, counting votes, publishing and other main results
1. The most direct manifestation of voting rights in blockchain is PoS, that is, obtaining voting rights by staking certain tokens.
2. Participating in voting is more about entrusting to nodes, etc.
3. Counting votes mainly uses FHE technology, because only FHE can calculate encrypted data
4. After the counting is completed, since the ciphertext results are published, it is also necessary to decide whether to use the key to decrypt and publish the plaintext results.
Of course, ZK technology can be considered here to prove the voting results without revealing the number of votes and specific details.
To sum up:
1. Voting is an interaction that is often seen but ignored in blockchain
2. Cryptography methods such as ZK and FHE can help encrypt voting behavior
3. Encrypted voting seems to only encrypt voting, but it actually provides support for the entire system security

Learn Nervos $CKB
NC-MAX is a consensus protocol in the Nervos Network that aims to improve the throughput and network latency of the blockchain while maintaining decentralization and security.
The main design goals of NC-MAX are:
Increase throughput: increase the transaction processing capacity of the blockchain.
Reduce latency: reduce block confirmation time.
Maintain decentralization: ensure that the decentralization and security of the network are not affected.
NC-MAX is an improvement on Bitcoin's Nakamoto consensus (NC). Several key mechanisms are introduced:
a. Two-layer block structure
NC-MAX uses a two-layer block structure, including the main block (Main Block) and the secondary block (Secondary Block). The main block contains all transaction data, while the secondary block is a reference to the main block and records the hash value of the main block.
b. Secondary block reward
Miners can not only get rewards by mining the main block, but also get additional rewards through the secondary block. Encourage miners to continue mining secondary blocks based on the main block to increase network throughput.
Two-step transaction process
Propose: In this stage, miners propose a candidate block containing unconfirmed transactions.
Commit: In this stage, miners verify and confirm the proposed block to ensure its validity and consistency.
Dynamic block interval adjustment
Mechanism: Dynamically adjust the block generation interval based on network performance.
Purpose: Keep the number of orphan blocks low while increasing transaction throughput.
Difficulty adjustment
Include all blocks (including orphan blocks) in the difficulty adjustment calculation.
Purpose: Defend against selfish mining attacks, that is, a group of miners increase their own profits by privately mining and weaken the interests of other miners.

FHE+Restaking+AI: Mind Network under the perfect narrative (Three Days in the Sky)
TL;DR
Mind's Restaking accommodates almost everything, including BTC, ETH, and even LST/LRT assets of all other network tokens
Mind business logic is similar to EigenLayer's AVS, but can also cooperate with Eigen and even all other networks
Mind is still in its early stages, so not many people can participate, but you can try it out, maybe there will be surprises in the future
Mind’s current main solutions focus on AI and Depin, +FHE, +Restaking narrative
Mind is like an abstract player. It is on the FHE track, but does not compete with other FHE projects. It is on the AVS track, but does not compete with AVS projects. It is on the Restaking track, but does not compete with Restaking projects. On the AI and Depin tracks, okay, serve them!

Understanding FHE Fully Homomorphic Encryption
FHE Fully Homomorphic Encryption
What is FHE
In simple terms, while keeping the data encrypted, you can perform arbitrary calculations on the data.
F Fully: Compared with HE (homomorphic encryption, which is limited by the calculation method), FHE supports almost any calculation logic
H Homomorphic: When we say that an encryption scheme is homomorphic, it means that the ciphertext calculation and the plaintext calculation have the same result.
E stands for Encryption. Encryption is easy to understand and is one of the core concepts of cryptography.
Problem: FHE is usually computationally inefficient, since processing encrypted data is certainly not as fast as direct computation.

Maximum extractable value MEV
What is MEV?
MEV, or Maximum Extractable Value, refers to the additional benefits that miners or validators can obtain in the blockchain by adjusting the order of transactions, including or excluding certain transactions.
Why do MEVs exist?
In a blockchain, miners or validators are responsible for packaging transactions into new blocks. Since they have the power to choose which trades are included and in which order, they can use this position to obtain additional benefits, such as through arbitrage.
The impact of MEV
MEV may cause transactions to be delayed or not included, as miners may prioritize transactions that bring them greater benefit. This can also lead to unfairness and centralization of the network.

The composition of Gas: includes Gas Price and Gas Used, where Gas Price is the amount of Ether coins that users are willing to pay for each unit of Gas, and Gas Used is the amount of Gas actually consumed by transactions or contract operations.
Calculation of transaction fees: Transaction Fee = Gas Used × Gas Price.
The role of Gas: By assigning a Gas cost to each operation, Ethereum ensures fair use of network resources and protects network security by incentivizing miners.
Network congestion and Gas: When the network is congested, users may need to pay a higher Gas Price to ensure that their transactions are processed with priority.
