Network Architecture

ThirdFi network is building a blockchain framework specifically tailored to support AI functionalities, focusing on high data throughput, low latency, and enhanced security. Here's how the architecture is structured:

Core Blockchain Layer

• Function: This is the primary layer where all transactions are recorded. It supports basic blockchain functionalities, including token transactions, consensus mechanisms, and network governance.

• Technology: Uses a Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm designed for energy efficiency and fast transaction processing. This layer is built using a scalable blockchain framework that can handle high transaction volumes typical in AI applications.

Computational Layer

• Function: Dedicated to processing intensive AI tasks. This layer handles off-chain computations to maintain network performance without overloading the main blockchain.

• Technology: Utilizes state channels for executing AI tasks related to the blockchain but off the main ledger, allowing for real-time processing without transaction fee implications. This layer is also where machine learning models can interact, learn, and store intermediate states without committing all data to the main blockchain.

Data Management Layer

• Function: Focuses on managing the vast amounts of data required for AI operations, including storage, access, and privacy.

• Technology: Integrates decentralized storage solutions such as the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for distributing and storing large datasets securely. It uses advanced encryption methods, such as homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs, to allow computations on data without exposing the underlying data itself.
