Temperature Check: AI Innovation Fund

Hi Function X and Pundi X community,

AI is definitely the next big thing in tech, and it’s going to play a huge role in blockchain development. The integration of AI with blockchain promises to enhance security, optimize data processing, and streamline operations, creating more efficient and intelligent decentralized systems. This synergy will likely drive innovation and open new possibilities for industries worldwide.

We are deeply committed to leveraging the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) using blockchain. Our team is actively not only engaging with other AI project partners to integrate more AI elements into our ecosystem. One of our latest collaborations is with GT Protocol, the leading blockchain AI protocol, which you can read about here. We will have one more AI partnership announcement this month.

To this end, we would like to propose an AI Innovative Fund dedicated as an initiative to encourage AI projects and developers to build in the FXCore growing ecosystem and enhance the capability of the Pundi X payment platform.

The AI project can range from using f(x)core for AI infrastructure, data, modelling to its application, i.e. in one of the following areas.

  • Using blockchain as infrastructure for AI.
  • Using blockchain for more efficient data processing
  • Using blockchain for training and validating AI models.
  • Predictive analytics for blockchain applications.
  • GenAI and LLM applications for blockchain

Fund allocation: Requesting for 10,000,000 $FX ($1,200,000) grants to fund this initiative.
Please note that this number represents the total budget for the AI initiative fund, and will only be allocated to projects that meet the milestones and criteria established by the relevant parties.

Reward structure:
Our funding structure is designed to ensure that these projects align with our core values of innovation and community benefit. The fund will be distributed when the following milestones are achieved.

Eligibility criteria:

  • Sustainability
    We require the project to launch at least 1 month on the Pundi X ecosystem, before they can apply for the funding. The project owner is also required to commit to build on the Pundi X ecosystem for at least 24 months.

  • Native project
    The project can be natively built on the Pundi X ecosystem, or migrated from another chain. We will prioritize the project that is natively built on the Pundi X ecosystem.

  • Innovation
    Uniqueness and originality of the AI solution.

  • Market entry plan
    A plan on how to enter the market to recruit users/customers, including marketing, PR, social media, long-term engagement plan to promote products on PundiFX or Pundi X Platform

  • Market Potential
    Potential to address significant market needs or problems.

  • Scalability
    Ability to scale the solution and achieve widespread adoption.

  • Team Capability
    Expertise and experience of the startup team.

  • User generation
    Daily active AI tool users exceeding 200-1000 (initial target range)

  • Roadmap
    Product roadmap is required and how it can contribute to the FXCore github repository and tech specs.

  • Community engagement
    The project has an active community on X, Github, Linkedin or other social media platforms. The accounts should be verified and the number of followers on one of the social media platforms should be exceeding 3,000 followers.

If the AI project is planning to launch a token, the project team should embody best practices at every step of the development process. As an example, the contracts must be verified. If the token is natively launched on FXCore, the contract creator’s address should have gone through community due diligence.

Your insights are invaluable as we shape our AI funding proposal. Your feedback will ensure we address community needs and maximize benefits for both Function X and Pundi X ecosystems. We invite you to share your thoughts and help us create a robust, inclusive strategy. Thank you for contributing to our collective future :slight_smile:

Market Potential is the most critical step which shall be validated by actual experiment on consumers and not just market research/surveys. Mark Cook (VP of products at Kodak) always asked the team to answer the four questions:

  1. Do consumers recognize that they have the problem you are trying to solve?
  2. If there was a solution, would they buy it?
  3. Would they buy it from us?
  4. Can we build a solution for that problem?

He believes most product development teams assume #1-3 & jump to #4.

Hi @indra !

I strongly support anything that would bring added value to blockchain applications.
AI is one of them, as it might bring simplified-operations to a user…

As for other potential applications, I highly value infostructure the $GALEON team is achieving for health-related data. Their intent is then to bring value to the share of this health information thru AI and thru a fair share of anonymized data.
Most organizations are nowadays fighting hard to just achieve a simple digital transformation. Some of them a re engaging towards a real data-centric restructuring, essentially thru internal infrastructures or thru a cloud tier.
I think there exists a space for blockchain apps in giving (and digitizing) access to the data, to “anonymous” data, in huge masses, thru clear data or homomorphic algorithms. However, we need to focus on “who will be the customer for that”.
Then, there’s the need to develop what we said we would develop, and publicize what we developped.

Regards,
@FrenchXCore

I’am also supportive of innovations, Ai or otherwise, everything we do that simplifies Crypto use & payments brings us to the for front of being used over other forms of payment that are not using Crypto directly as crypto on blockchain; our advantage is we supply access for many chain and wallet use case, this will eventually provoke other chain & wallet creators to promote us because PUNDIX give them a noticeable real world use case, I suggest doing a notification thing to wallet creators so maybe they will start promoting PUNDIX to promote them self’s.

Ai Payment Idea bomb, as a extension to the new ( PUNDIX Pay ) Qr code for merchants ( congrats on the release) this idea is to help those that walk into a store and hold a coin unsupported by the Payments network but is by using say via MarginX (or other Ai smart DEX’s) with a Swap & Pay QR code as well, the merchants could have a universal swap Qr code that allows the customer to swap their (meme)? to 1 of these - usdt or PURSE - (could be bigger for loyalty rewards creations & network fee’s in PUNDIX) or PUNDIX for use in store at the counter on the run / or the swap just swaps the amount and takes the payment from it directly would work better maybe if it’s a 1 step process, rather than a swap and then pay process.

from Comunnity Pool yes?

AI is the next stage of the technological innovation frontier.

As a company that has always strived to be at the forefront of technology, we see AI and Blockchain as an integral part of the Web’s evolution.

As such, with the AI Innovation Fund, we want to encourage builders to build their next AI applications and projects on f(x)Core, leveraging the technology we’ve built over the years.

I look forward to seeing exciting new projects being developed on f(x)Core.
