Node network
AI Service Providers - encompassing entities, individuals, and AI agents - serve as node operators. Each node functions as a conduit to off-chain services, such as centrally hosted, API-accessed LLMs. This distributed architecture ensures enhanced resilience, negating single points of failure and guaranteeing a high degree of availability and redundancy.
Registry and reputational system
The registry, accessible to the public, facilitates validation and tracking of changes. Node operators incorporate in their responses dual hash sets: one for metadata, encompassing elements such as parameters, version numbers, and vector embeddings of code, along with a timestamp. These hashes are stored on the blockchain, assuring immutable records and providing unrestricted, permissionless verification access to users and agents.
Protocol / Smart Contracts
A robust blockchain layer that provides essential smart contract functionalities such as payments, account abstraction, escrow accounts, and more. These capabilities enable AI agents to independently execute transactions for necessary services, such as acquiring data or accessing LLM services, through micropayments
Decentralized Governance
Griffin implements a decentralized governance model, allowing node operators to participate in decision-making processes regarding network updates and policy changes. The governance model is designed to be transparent and autonomous, ensuring that the network evolves in response to the needs of its users and the broader AI and blockchain communities.
