Rei Network has announced a strategic partnership with Inference Labs to introduce a trustless zkML inference to its lightning-rapid, zero-fee EVM blockchain.
Rei Network is a decentralized blockchain network that aims to offer a more rapid, simplified user experience for on-chain transactions like game finance, DeFi, and many other applications. On the other hand, Inference Labs is an innovative tech firm that uses zero-knowledge cryptography to ensure AI models function correctly.
Bringing verifiability and trust
According to the announcement made today via the X platform, the aim of the Rei Network’s partnership with Inference Labs is to make its crypto blockchain network a real-time and verifiable AI network for DeFi, GameFi, and many other on-chain transactions. The collaboration highlights a significant shift in how crypto networks approach transparency and trust in the digital asset world.
A key setback in traditional AI models is the issue popularly known as “black boxes”, meaning their decision-making procedures and internal functioning are vague. In crucial digital asset applications like decentralized finance, game finance, and many others, this absence of transparency is a major concern.
This is where Inference Labs comes in: through its ZKPs (zero-knowledge proofs) infrastructure, it resolves this “black box” problem. Its cryptographic technology enables AI models to be conducted off-chain while offering on-chain, mathematical justification that computations are processed properly, without disclosing sensitive data or underlying models. This guarantees integrity, privacy, and trust in all AI activities.
This explains the reason Rei Network integrated Inference Lab’s technology into its digital asset platform. This integration ensures that Rei’s DeFi and GameFi protocols are AI-powered and therefore can evaluate risks with verifiable integrity.
This also ensures that other Rei’s crypto projects use advanced AI for efficient operations, including price discovery, among others, without jeopardizing user privacy or depending on centralized platforms. Furthermore, this collaboration allows advanced financial products that are trustless and intelligent.
The growth of decentralized intelligence
The collaboration between Rei Network and Inference Labs is not just about integrating their tech infrastructures. It is about developing a more decentralized intelligence underpinning the Web3 world.
Integrating a verifiable AI into such a blockchain network paves the way for a new crop of applications that function with advanced levels of independence and trust. This develops a fairer and more interactive Web3 experience where participants can genuinely trust and own the virtual landscape.
Users can use AI models without worries about exposing their confidential data. This is essential for digital assets’ adoption as it resolves rising concerns about data privacy in the age of automation, innovation, and AI.
