Ritual is an AI-based sovereign execution layer. Their vision is to enable developers to build fully transparent DeFi, self-improving blockchains, autonomous agents, and generative content through Ritual.
Infernet is Ritual's core suite, essentially a lightweight library that brings computation on-chain. Its primary application is serving ML inference workloads. Users can build and host ML models, deploy them to Infernet nodes, and create subscriptions to use the inference outputs and optional succinct execution proofs in on-chain smart contracts.
The Infernet SDK enables integration between Web3 and AI capabilities, such as: data preprocessing and training, model support (scikit-learn, HuggingFace), validation (zero-knowledge proofs, Optimistic fraud proofs), various open-source zk libraries, data hosting and provenance, and more.
By flexibly applying the Infernet SDK, developers can integrate AI models into their own protocols, applications, or smart contracts, enabling them to fine-tune, monetize, and perform inference using cryptographic schemes.
