Introducing the ChainGPT AIVM Whitepaper

A Major Breakthrough in Web3-AI

AIVM (AI Virtual Machine) is ChainGPT’s purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain that turns AI into an open, trust-minimised public utility. Built on the Cosmos SDK, it merges GPU-grade performance with cryptographic verification so anyone can build, deploy and monetise models – without handing control to cloud giants.

A single asset, $CGPT, fuels the network: it pays gas, rents compute & data, secures validators and drives on-chain governance.

Why Does Web3-AI Need It?

Today AI is centralized, expensive and opaque. A few firms own the GPUs, the data and the black-box models. AIVM changes that by:

opening a decentralised GPU marketplace so prices are set by supply and demand, not by two cloud monopolies;
turning every model call into a provably correct transaction thanks to PLONK-based zk-proofs and TEE attestations; and
rewarding data owners every time their dataset is used, via on-chain, tokenised licences.

How AIVM Works

Dual-Path Execution

Small jobs run directly on-chain for maximum transparency, while heavy inference or training runs off-chain on rented GPUs. Either way, the result lands back on AIVM with a proof the chain can verify in milliseconds.

Modular Architecture

AIVM introduces three Cosmos-SDK modules that speak AI natively:

AI Module – versioned model registry & task orchestrator.
Compute Module – schedules workloads, tracks SLAs and reputations.
Data Module – stores hashes and permissions for tamper-proof, privacy-preserving datasets.

Validator Network

Alongside consensus nodes, the community elects AI-, Compute- and Data-Validators. Each stakes $CGPT and can be slashed for bad behaviour, forming a three-layer audit on every task.

Token Economics in Plain English

When a user submits a job, they lock $CGPT into a contract. The token then circulates:

GPU & data providers earn it for honest work and restake a portion,
Specialised validators earn it for verification,
The treasury receives a slice for grants, and
Holders wield it as voting power to steer upgrades.

The more the network is used, the faster this flywheel spins – pulling compute, capital and talent into the ecosystem.

What Can You Build?

Decentralised GPU cloud for cost-efficient training and inference.
On-chain AI agents: risk engines for DeFi, governance bots, game NPCs.
Model & dataset marketplace where creators earn every inference or data call.
Enterprise-grade audits: provable AI for fintech, health and supply chains.

Real-world usecase: A two-person fintech studio in São Paulo uploads a credit-scoring model, rents GPUs in Europe through AIVM, and sells “risk-as-a-service” to DeFi pools – no AWS lock-in, every score tied to an on-chain proof.

Roadmap

AIVM is advancing toward a decentralized AI future through a clear, phased roadmap designed to deliver robust infrastructure, real-world scalability, and widespread adoption. Here’s a look at the journey ahead:

AIVM Roadmap (3 Phases)

Phase 1: Establish the blockchain foundation with core infrastructure, lightweight on-chain models, and verified execution.

Phase 2: Scale the platform with advanced model management, dual-path execution, hybrid storage, and decentralized resource marketplaces.

Phase 3: Mature the ecosystem with enterprise integrations, developer toolkits, analytics frameworks, and workflow orchestration—paving the way for mass adoption.

A detailed AIVM roadmap will be published shortly after the whitepaper’s release.

Why We’re Different

AIVM is the only blockchain with native AI, Compute and Data validators, verifiable off-chain execution at GPU speed, and an IBC-ready design so any chain or Web2 stack can tap its intelligence layer.
