What is Ritual ?

Ritual is developing an AI coprocessor tailored for blockchains, with the objective of seamlessly integrating AI models into protocols, applications, or smart contracts with minimal coding requirements. Acting as an accessible and independent execution layer, it facilitates the incorporation of AI into various blockchain applications. Ritual champions the democratization of AI by enabling fine-tuning, monetization, and inference on models through cryptographic methods, fostering a decentralized AI ecosystem. Prioritizing privacy, resistance to censorship, and verifiability, their platform ensures widespread and secure access to AI models globally. For developers, Ritual streamlines the integration process with a user-friendly SDK, encouraging the utilization of GPU capacity for network support.

Partnership with EigenLayer

In November 2023, Ritual announced a significant milestone, securing $25 million in funding from multipleinvestors. Additionaly, Ritual has started an strategic partnership with EigenLayer to develop new Actively Validated Services (AVSs). This collaboration aims to improve Ritual's Infernet and blockchain infrastructure, while at the same time opening up new AI-native opportunities for operators on EigenLayer.
