[PRESS RELEASE – Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 8th, 2025]
ChainGPT, a pioneer in blockchain AI solutions, has announced the release of its highly anticipated AIVM Whitepaper. This comprehensive technical and strategic vision aims to build the foundation of the AI Crypto Economy through the introduction of the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM), a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain designed to seamlessly integrate decentralized AI development, compute infrastructure, and monetization, thereby unifying Web2 and Web3 in a scalable AI ecosystem.
The launch of AIVM marks a significant technological breakthrough by addressing the prevailing centralization in the AI landscape, which is often dominated by large tech companies. AIVM transforms AI into an open, trust-minimized public utility, providing a unified solution that offers decentralized compute, agent-based AI execution, tokenized data marketplaces, and developer tooling. This innovation is paving the way for an inclusive AI ecosystem, breaking free from the confines of Big Tech monopolies.
Key Highlights from the AIVM Whitepaper:
The Problem:
- AI is centralized: Controlled by major corporations, lacking transparency, and prone to bias.
- Compute is exclusive: Cloud giants dictate access and pricing for AI infrastructure.
- Developers are impeded: Building decentralized AI remains complex, fragmented, and slow.
- Users lack control: Data is often exploited without fair compensation or privacy guarantees.
Reimagining AI x Blockchain Integration
AIVM introduces a robust Layer-1 architecture that supports AI execution, verifiable inference, decentralized model deployment, and cross-chain interoperability, effectively addressing key challenges such as scalability, privacy, and compute fragmentation.
A Plug-and-Play AI Infrastructure Stack
The AIVM ecosystem provides a comprehensive infrastructure for developers, enterprises, and Web3 projects, facilitating the building, deployment, and monetization of AI at scale through simple yet effective frameworks and technologies.
Core Innovations
- Dual-Path Execution: Simple models operate transparently on-chain, while complex computations are executed off-chain with cryptographic proofs.
- GPU Compute Marketplace: AIVM offers permissionless access to scalable, low-cost computing resources, maximizing global availability and flexibility.
- AI Model & Dataset Marketplace: Full transparency for developers to publish, monetize, and reuse models/data.
- Developer Toolkits: Tools designed for AI developers to streamline onboarding and deployment.
- Privacy-Preserving AI: Techniques to ensure sensitive data protection and privacy.
AIVM is unique as the sole Layer-1 blockchain with dedicated roles for AI, compute, and data validators, fostering trust throughout the ecosystem.
Token Utility & Validator Incentives
The ecosystem is powered by a single asset, $CGPT, which acts as the gas token and currency. This incentivizes validators to maintain network integrity while ensuring scalability and decentralization.
Designed for Everyone in the AI Economy
- AI Developers & Researchers with access to decentralized tools and compute resources.
- Web3 Projects & dApps leveraging intelligent agents and on-chain AI capabilities.
- Enterprises availing of privacy-first AI APIs for cost reduction.
- GPU Providers & Data Contributors benefitting from new monetization models.
Commenting on this innovative launch, Ilan Rakhmanov, Founder of ChainGPT and CEO of ChainGPT Software, stated, “Today, AI is locked in centralised silos; data, models, and compute are monopolized by a few. At the same time, blockchain lacks the speed and tooling required for real AI execution. AIVM changes that. We’re not just launching another chain; we’re building the decentralized AI cloud. Think AWS for AI, but open, verifiable, and powered by crypto.”
The AIVM whitepaper also discusses potential applications in AI-powered DeFi, predictive trading, fraud detection, and more, positioning AIVM as a catalyst for future AI and blockchain innovation.
As ChainGPT advances towards a decentralized AI future, a clear, phased roadmap has been established to ensure robust infrastructure and widespread adoption:
AIVM Roadmap (3 Phases)
Phase 1: Establish foundational blockchain infrastructure with core capabilities.
Phase 2: Expand the platform with advanced functionalities and resource markets.
Phase 3: Mature the ecosystem through enterprise integrations and analytics frameworks.
