The Surrey Academy for Blockchain and Metaverse Applications (SABMA), a pioneering institution within the University of Surrey, proudly announces the release of its groundbreaking report: “Web 3.0 Protocol-as-Platform: Vision and Framework for Decentralized Agentic Super Intelligence.”
This report, led by Professor Yu Xiong, Director of SABMA, presents a bold vision for the convergence of Web 3.0 and artificial intelligence (AI). It addresses pressing challenges in blockchain technology—fragmentation, scalability, governance inefficiencies, and privacy concerns—and introduces an innovative Protocol-as-Platform (PaaP) framework to foster a more intelligent, decentralized, and secure internet ecosystem.
Key Insights from the Report
- AI-Driven Smart Contracts: The report introduces autonomous AI agents capable of self-execution, adaptation, and optimization, reducing human intervention and enhancing efficiency in decentralized applications.
- Cross-Chain Interoperability: A unified protocol layer is proposed to seamlessly integrate multiple blockchain networks, ensuring fluid asset transfers and data exchange across ecosystems.
- Privacy-Preserving Mechanisms: The report highlights Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and advanced cryptographic tools as crucial for enhancing user privacy and transaction security in decentralized environments.
- Dynamic Governance Models: It advocates for AI-driven decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) to improve governance efficiency, automate decision-making, and create transparent, adaptive, and secure decentralized systems.
Professor Yu Xiong commented: “With this report, we aim to define the next evolution of decentralized technologies. By integrating AI and designing modular, privacy-focused infrastructures, we are shifting Web 3.0 away from speculative trading and towards a sustainable, user-centric digital economy. Our framework will help build intelligent, scalable, and secure blockchain ecosystems for the future.”
