User & Partnership Insights

Taking a Closer Look at each User and Collaboration

Eigenlayer

EigenLayer enhances the security of decentralized networks by leveraging Ethereum’s staking mechanism, allowing users to restake Ethereum to extend its security guarantees to other applications. The collaboration aims to combine ETH’s robust security with AI operations, providing a decentralized, secure, and economically incentivized framework for AI services.

  • Develop Actively Validated Services (AVSs) that use EigenLayer’s restaking mechanism to provide strong economic and security guarantees for AI operations on Ritual.

  • EigenLayer operators can restake and register as Ritual nodes to provide compute services, benefiting from the revenue generated.

Celestia

Celestia pioneers a modular approach to blockchain, separating consensus and data availability from execution to improve scalability and security.

  • The collaboration focuses on leveraging Celestia’s modular blockchain architecture to enhance the capabilities of Ritual’s decentralized AI infrastructure.
  • The integration fosters the development of new AI applications with robust security, privacy, and scalability.

Story Protocol

Story Protocol is a blockchain-based IP-tracking platform that provides the tools to seamlessly capture IPs, allowing creators to remix works with ownership built in.

  • MyShell is the first initiative under the partnership that seeks to build a generative platform for building AI apps and chatbots
  • Creators utilizing MyShell will be able to host their models on Ritual and register them as IP assets on Story Protocol.

MyShell

MyShell is a decentralized generative AI creator platform, enabling the creation of AI personas and avatars.

  • The partnership leverages Ritual’s infrastructure to power MyShell’s range of open-source AI models and the apps built on top.
  • Ritual’s nodes allow MyShell to codify the generated inferences as on-chain transactions or signed off-chain transactions, attested via a DA layer.

How Ritual is Powering MyShell

MyShell provides a platform which allows creators to compose open-source models to create applications and agents. These models are hosted on Ritual’s decentralized infrastructure. Doing so provides the following benefits for MyShell’s users:

Expressivity

Generated inferences can be either codified on-chain or signed off-chain (can be attested via DA layer). This approach can act as source of provenance for settling payments, incentives and other actions.

Open-Sourcing

Ritual’s infrastructure provides an open access inference layer, allowing MyShell users to not only use existing models but to also compose new ones with models on the Ritual network.

Scalability

As Ritual scales, MyShell’s users can participate by running Ritual nodes to power the underlying models on the MyShell platform to help in guaranteeing liveness and decentralization of the application.

Allora Network

The Allora Network is a self-improving machine intelligence network that is designed to power dApps by using an evolving system of machine learning models.

  • Inference Requests: Inference run-throughs for the models on Allora will be executed via Ritual nodes. Whenever a user requests an inference from a model on Allora, Ritual’s infrastructure will handle the execution of the request.
  • Model Development: Builders and partners in the Ritual ecosystem will be able to leverage Allora’s decentralized infra for model sharing, composition, and evaluation.

Frenrug

Frenrug is an on-chain AI agent living in a friend.tech chatroom and is designed for managing a portfolio of keys. Behind the scenes, Frenrug is powered by Ritual.

  • Frenrug is powered by Ritual’s Infernet and utilizes its tooling suite. Frenrug uses two seperate Machine Learning models.

Nillion

Ritual and Nillion are pioneering the use of MPC to enable private AI inference and storage on the Ritual network.

  • Secure and verifiable AI inference: The collaboration facilitates secure and verifiable AI inference for various applications. As personalized AI becomes increasingly prevalent, access to sensitive information is crucial.

  • Data privacy: The partnership will power enterprises to utilize AI capabilities while maintaining complete data privacy.
