Overview

Overview of the ChainOpera AI (CoAI) Protocol Architecture. The diagram illustrates the multi-ecosystem framework of CoAI, highlighting its core blockchain-enabled capabilities. Key participant roles—AI app/agent creators, users, and resource providers—are shown interacting within the ecosystem, leveraging privacy-preserving computation, transparent resource allocation, and a proof-of-intelligence system to collaboratively build, deploy, and monetize AI agents and applications. The architecture emphasizes security, transparency, and shared economic benefits to foster a co-owned and co-created AI ecosystem.

The ChainOpera AI (CoAI) Protocol is designed to foster co-ownership and co-creation, enabling all participants to collaboratively build and advance a healthier, more equitable AI-driven ecosystem. By integrating blockchain capabilities, CoAI protocol ensures security, transparency, trustworthiness, and a shared economyacross its network. It aligns the interests of all stakeholders through fair participation and incentivized contributions.

The protocol empowers diverse contributors within the ecosystem, including:

1. AI App and Agent Creators: Developers can seamlessly join the ecosystem to create and launch monetizable AI agents, benefiting from integrated blockchain security, privacy, and transparent reward systems.

2. AI App and Agent Users: Users retain full data sovereignty while accessing AI services. They can stake and monetize their data to improve AI models, enabling secure and private collaboration that also rewards user participation.

3. Resource Providers: Contributors such as GPU/compute providers, raw data suppliers, data annotators, and AI model developers can offer essential resources for training, deploying, and scaling AI applications. Their contributions are rewarded via a proof-of-intelligence system, ensuring equitable compensation.

As shown in above figure, CoAI protocol offers the following blockchain capabilities to support this ecosystem.
