INTELLIGENT CHAIN (Blockchain Infrastructure)
Custom blockchain network optimized for AI computation, data coordination, and token economics.
Architecture
Consensus Mechanism
- Phase 1 (Current): Polygon PoS with ASHA token integration
- Phase 2 (Custom L1): Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) + Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
- Validators stake ASHA tokens
- Additional weight for data/compute contributions
- Slashing for malicious behavior or model poisoning
Smart Contract Layers
Layer 1 - Core Contracts
- TokenContract: ERC-20 compliant ASHA token with extensions
- GovernanceContract: DAO voting, proposal submission, execution
- StakingContract: Validator staking, delegation, rewards
Layer 2 - AI Coordination Contracts
- ContributionContract: Receives encrypted gradients from AIA agents
- AggregationContract: Coordinates secure MPC for gradient aggregation
- ValidationContract: Validates model updates and proof submissions
- IncentiveContract: Calculates and distributes rewards
Layer 3 - Application Contracts
- QueryContract: Handles computation requests from AIA agents
- DataMarketplace: Optional peer-to-peer data exchange
- ReputationContract: Tracks contributor quality and reliability
Data Flow

Storage Architecture
- On-Chain: Transaction records, state roots, contribution metadata
- IPFS: Model weights, large datasets, training checkpoints
- Arweave: Permanent archive of governance decisions and model versions
- Local: Client data never leaves device unless explicitly encrypted
Scalability Solutions
- Layer 2 Rollups: Optimistic or zk-Rollups for high-throughput transactions
- Sharding: Partition network by application domain (health, finance, etc.)
- Off-Chain Computation: Heavy AI inference on validators with proofs
- State Channels: Direct peer-to-peer for real-time applications
