These virtual beings use AI to generate content and interact with their audience.\n- The development of on-chain AI agents is gaining momentum, with several projects exploring the potential of these decentralized AI systems.\n- LayerZero**: LayerZero (https://layerzero.io/) is a decentralized protocol that enables interoperability between blockchain networks. It also supports the deployment of on-chain AI models.\n\n## Analysis\n*   **Ocean Protocol**: Ocean Protocol (https://oceanprotocol.com/) is a decentralized data exchange that allows users to monetize their data. It also supports the development of on-chain AI agents.\n\n*   **ChainLink**: ChainLink (https://chain.link/) is a decentralized oracle network that provides real-world data to blockchain applications. It has partnered with several projects to develop on-chain AI models.\n\nResearchers have made significant progress in developing on-chain AI agents, including:\n\n## Sources\n- https://zoa.io/\n- https://dcent.net/\n- https://www.lilmiquela.com/\n- https://layerzero.io/\n- https://oceanprotocol.com/\n- https://chain.link/\n- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof\n- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homomorphic_encryption\n\n## Implications\n- *   **LayerZero**: LayerZero (https://layerzero.io/) is a decentralized protocol that enables interoperability between blockchain networks\n- Scaling considerations for Ocean Protocol may differ from controlled-environment results\n- On-chain implications may affect tokenized knowledge m","keywords":["zo-research","blockchain","blockchain-web3"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"}}
