AIA Chain research archive
This section records the purpose of an early browser-based research prototype. It is not the current AIA product, an active public service, a live blockchain, or a token network. Previous setup instructions and implementation specifications have been retired because they no longer describe the current system.
What the experiment explored
AIA Chain examined whether independently operated participants could coordinate AI work while keeping requests protected in transit and recording contribution outcomes in a shared test environment. It helped SENEXIC study several enduring questions:
- How can an owner explicitly authorize a participant or device?
- How can a contribution be attributed without treating every participant as equally useful?
- How should a system distinguish transport security from the trust placed in the participant performing a task?
- How can experimental accounting remain clearly separate from live financial value?
The prototype was deliberately limited. Its browser workflow, test-network assumptions, and experimental coordination model are not a supported path to the current product.
What carried forward
The current AIA direction retains the high-level principles that proved useful:
- local-first operation around the owner;
- explicit, revocable authority;
- governed knowledge instead of unrestricted collection;
- evidence and verification before contribution is recognized; and
- honest separation between working foundations and future network goals.
The underlying implementation has evolved. This archive does not describe its interfaces, security construction, infrastructure, or operating parameters.
