AINN Layer2 brand is rebranded as AILayer, marking a strategic layout towards the future of AGI

1. Looking Back at AI + Web 3.0

In the past year, with the emergence of generative AI models like ChatGPT, the application scope of AI has gradually expanded from simple conversational tools to predictive and computational tools. New products continue to emerge in the AI field, such as OpenAI's Sora and NVIDIA's unexpected advancements in AI infrastructure development, making AI a new darling in the capital circle. It is not difficult to see that the application of AI is an inevitable trend for the future.

At the same time, with the launch of the BTC spot ETF, the Web 3.0 crypto market has also welcomed a new bull market, with BTC becoming the leading asset in this round. This has been followed by a significant explosion in the Bitcoin ecosystem led by inscriptions, runes, and BTC Layer 2.

The application of AI + Web 3.0 is highly significant and attracts attention from both narrative and application perspectives. Meanwhile, the demand for underlying infrastructure for AI applications has surged, with BTC Layer 2 receiving considerable attention, and multiple BTC Layer 2 TVLs reaching new highs.

Against this backdrop, the first Web 3.0 + AI application supporting the rune protocol on the Bitcoin Layer 2 network—AINN Layer 2—was born, officially launching its mainnet and starting the AINN Layer 2 Dataset staking activity on March 31, North American time.

Now, one month after the project went live, AINN Layer 2 has launched various activities on social media, such as interactions with the BTC inscription community; the continuous development of its on-chain ecosystem, including the launch of AINN Layer 2's DEX—AINN SWAP; and improvements in mainnet infrastructure, such as support from the OKX Web3 wallet and an increase in the types of staking tokens. AINN Layer 2's Twitter followers have surpassed 100,000, and many users have been attracted by AINN Layer 2's generous staking rewards and innovative narratives—its on-chain users have also exceeded 100,000, with TVL surpassing $600 million in one month.

2. Stepping onto a New Starting Point for AILayer

1. Mission

With the rapid growth of AI applications, the market demand for infrastructure such as high computing power and storage devices has surged. Providing higher performance, lower costs, and more ample computing and storage facilities has become an inevitable trend for the future development of AI. At the same time, deploying AI applications is not an easy task; traditional deployment methods rely on a large amount of computing resources and expertise, which poses a high barrier for many AI builders and faces the "single point of failure" risk brought by centralization.

Web 3.0 can build a decentralized network of computing and storage resources, effectively reducing infrastructure costs by utilizing various idle and distributed resources, while meeting the broad demands of artificial intelligence applications.

Therefore, it can be said that decentralized AI infrastructure is currently the most certain direction for development.

Currently, AINN Layer 2 has upgraded its brand to AILayer, integrating AI + Web 3.0. Unlike traditional blockchain AI narratives such as Arweave and Worldcoin, which build public chains independently or rely on other public chains, the upgraded AILayer is quite innovative. It builds an AI layer architecture on BTC Layer 2 through the BTC platform, making it the only project in the AI narrative that develops BTC Layer 2.

On one hand, by providing high-quality infrastructure and development platforms, AILayer lowers the technical barriers for AI development and application. This means that more developers and enterprises can participate in this field without needing a deep technical background to develop and deploy AI applications, exploring more AI application solutions.

On the other hand, unlike the currently prevalent BTC Layer 2 expansion narratives, AILayer uniquely combines Bitcoin Layer 2 technology with AI technology, expanding the application scope of BTC Layer 2. It is the only public chain in the BTC Layer 2 track that builds an AI layer architecture, bringing more possibilities and opportunities to the BTC ecosystem.

In addition, in terms of user community, the upgraded brand AILayer also has a deep accumulation.

For both Web 3.0 and AI, having enough active users is key to project development. AILayer has gained support from a large number of users in the inscription community by deciding on the BRC-20 assets that can be staked on-chain through community voting on Twitter, bringing the most native user group to the BTC ecosystem. Currently, AILayer's Twitter followers exceed 100,000.

2. Vision

An engaging narrative vision is crucial for the success of Web 3.0 projects. It can not only inspire resonance and a sense of identity but also shape the brand image.

The project narrative vision constructed by AILayer is key to its success. AILayer aims to become one of the most critical infrastructures in the decentralized AI field, providing technology, tools, and resources to support developers and enterprises in building and deploying decentralized AI applications, continuously promoting the deep integration of Web 3.0 technology and artificial intelligence, and providing powerful support for AI innovation with application scenarios and solutions that bring more value and opportunities to users and enterprises.

At the same time, AILayer promotes the widespread adoption of decentralized AI infrastructure globally, such as through cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Development of the Kyrgyz Republic, which will open a new chapter in cooperation in the fields of Web 3.0 digitization and government affairs, accelerating the arrival of General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) and making AILayer a model for the integration of AI and Bitcoin technology.

This vision showcases AILayer's ambition and foresight, aiming to become a leader in the integration of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology and contribute to innovation and development worldwide.

This vision has also brought high consensus for AILayer, attracting many investors and partners, including strategic investments from well-known institutions in the BTC ecosystem and Web 3.0 figures, such as Amber Group, Waterdrip Capital, Bitmart, Bitrise Capital, Genblock Capital, MH Ventures, Satoshi Lab, SkyWater, SuperEx, AscendEx, and other leading KOLs and first-tier dollar fund partners.

AILayer has over 100,000 on-chain users, and its strong consensus has also attracted user staking, with AILayer's on-chain TVL exceeding $600 million.

3. Outlook

The future outlook for AILayer is very promising. As the number of users and mainnet staking achievements grow, AILayer's strength and influence will further expand.

In the future, AILayer will continue to delve into the AI field, constantly innovating to provide higher quality services and solutions for global users and partners. AILayer provides a decentralized AI infrastructure, offering developers and enterprises the technology, tools, and resources to build and deploy decentralized AI applications. This provides broader application scenarios and solutions for the development of AGI and allows us to look forward to the arrival of the AGI era.

In terms of Web 3.0, AILayer will continue to promote the construction of BTC Layer 2, supporting more assets for staking and pushing TVL to new heights. At the same time, AILayer will actively promote community and developer participation, relying on the support of the large inscription community in BTC to ensure the sustained growth and prosperity of the platform and ecosystem.

From the perspective of international cooperation, AILayer's collaboration with the Kyrgyz Republic brings new development opportunities to the technology industry in Kyrgyzstan and serves as a model case for helping developing countries adopt AI applications.

We hope AILayer continues to expand its technological boundaries and innovate continuously to meet the global market's demand for high-performance AI solutions. At the same time, we also hope it can further promote active participation from the community and developers, ensuring the sustained growth and prosperity of the AILayer platform and ecosystem. We look forward to AILayer's continued efforts to become a leader in the field of artificial intelligence globally, striving tirelessly to build a smarter, more efficient, and secure AGI future.
