Kaisar Network: The Layer-One Blockchain for DePIN.
Introducing Kaisar Network: Supporting The AI Revolution On Web3 Platforms
How will we get the computational resources we need to train the next generation of artificial intelligence, connect our everyday lives to the Internet of Things, and bring the power and flexibility of consumer AI to the world?
It’s a crucial question. Stock prices rise and fall, geopolitics shift, and boardrooms form or break in a global scramble. Countries race to build semiconductor fabs, and cloud computing providers face pressure to monitor and censor their clients — or even to change their businesses to reflect the political agendas of their host countries.
A Race For Computation
Why such a race? Since the public advent in 2023 of LLM and AI chatbot technologies, the demand for high-performance computing has increased tremendously. We tracked the training compute requirements (in FLOPs) of milestone machine learning systems over time. In particular, we identified an 18-month doubling time between 1952 and 2010, a six-month doubling time between 2010 and 2022, and a new trend of large-scale models between late 2015 and 2022, which started two to three orders of magnitude over the previous trend, and displays a ten-month doubling time.
As companies and countries compete for processing power, many overlook that there is a wealth of compute ready to be harnessed: there are barely-used processors all over the world, already live and connected to the Internet.
Decentralizing The Network
Decentralized physical infrastructure network, or DePIN, technology can help the people running these processors to connect with the builders who need them — earning them a profit and helping innovators progress their work without the expensive, and ecologically burdensome, creation of new processors. Powered by blockchain, DePIN is decentralized, resistant to censorship from companies and countries alike.
Here at Kaisar, we are building an innovative DePIN offer: an L1, interoperable blockchain with fast, low-cost transaction speeds, designed as an ideal scaffolding for DePIN projects. We’ve paired it with our own DePIN platform, complete with pre-built container templates designed to make it easy to train and scale bespoke AIs based on some of the most cutting-edge models available today.
Outpacing The DePIN Competition
Using Proof of Physical Work technology and governed by our native KAI token, Kaisar rewards machines that share their processing power and DePIN builders that generate transactions on the network, in a decentralized, positive-sum economy.
Our L1 chain is fully decentralized, with a consensus process designed to stop fraud, and we are able to take a forward looking approach to micropayments for transaction fees and provider rewards. Anyone can download our app and get started offering or purchasing compute cycles, bypassing the need for a cumbersome application process.
As an L1 solution, with a blockchain that is seamlessly compatible with the EVM, Kaisar outpaces competitors, which are largely situated on L2s. Our network is Polkadot-enabled, features cross-chain machine IDs with Cosmos, Solana and Binance, and bridges to Ethereum. Kaisar also bridges to over thirty blockchains via Wormhole, and is best in class for interoperability.
From the point of view of a user, whether they’re selling compute cycles or scaling a DePIN product, scalability matters. As an L1, our network is capable of scaling beyond 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), with a minimum transaction cost of around $0.00025.
We’ve also developed a wide array of modular, ready-to-use DePIN functions that equip DePIN projects and dApps with the essential tools they need to run. These include self-sovereign machine IDs, seamless machine payment processing, data storage and verification, data indexing, and autonomous AI agents.
A Look Under The Hood
What makes Kaisar work? Our network, powered by the Kaisar blockchain, enables customers seeking reliable, affordable computational power to get it, securely and efficiently, from providers who earn a reward for sharing the cycles of their underused processors.
Customers can request the creation of a compute cluster, specifying the type of processors, geographic location, and bandwidth needed and sending that request to our smart contract. After customers pay in KAI tokens, the smart contract searches for suitable devices to deploy and Kaisar sets up the cluster automatically. After it’s deployed, Kaisar sends detailed information about the cluster to the customer and they can connect and use it.
For providers, sharing their processors to earn rewards, the process is just as easy. After a provider installs tools to measure device information, including CPU/GPU type, bandwidth, and RAM, the device is verified and registered to our smart contract. The device then launches in the Kaisar Network and is available to execute jobs. Its activity report is sent to Kaisar and the smart contract pays the provider a reward, according to our compensation algorithm.
Instead of a centralized cloud services company governing the relationship between customers and providers, the Kaisar blockchain connects them efficiently and securely. While our device contract manages CPU/GPU device registration and operation, our cluster manager contract approves orders and deploys clusters for customers. Our emission contract handles rewards for providers. All of our network’s users can extend their cluster use time, deregister a compute-providing device, or raise technical issues or disputes at will.
Who We Are and Where We Are Going
We are excited to announce more details about Kaisar in the near future, but, for now, we want to share a bit about our roadmap, go into our tokenomics, and share who we are and the incredible partners who are supporting us and helping us grow.
Right now, the Kaisar team is heads down developing every part of our network. We’ve deployed a live demo of our customer-facing site, with a demo of our provider tools coming soon. Most importantly, the Kaisar blockchain is nearly ready to deploy on testnet, with mainnet deployment and the token generating event for the KAI network following shortly after.
The KAI Token
Against a backdrop of casino-style meme tokens, when anyone can spin up a coin with a few clicks of a button, the KAI token will launch with deep utility, governing a decentralized computing-power economy. As the native token of the Kaisar network, KAI will be used to power all transactions on the blockchain, with customers paying in KAI for resources and providers rewarded with KAI for sharing them.
Providers not only share compute cycles with builders — they operate as nodes, with their KAI rewards acting as a security deposit for checking computations. This protects against harmful actions, and rewards providers who keep helping the network. In the future, our community of providers will use KAI as governance tokens in a DAO, setting rules and adjusting the settings that decide how rewards are paid out.
As a deflationary mechanism, revenues received from compute customers will be received in KAI and burned, and provider emissions will be fixed and follow a halving rate. Staking and lending of KAI, with yield earning opportunities and privileged access to our top tier of services, will also be available.
Partners And Incubators
Our team’s deep experience was pivotal in helping us establish our strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including prominent technology firms. Our clientele spans renowned companies in the technology sector, as well as established brands from diverse industries. Notably, our network is bolstered by partnerships with key communication service providers, which form the core of our infrastructure. It’s worth highlighting that these partnerships were established without the involvement of major Web2 infrastructure companies.
One of the most important things that has enabled us to take the leap and build Kaisar together has been the support of our incubators, the HashKey Group and WXblockchain’s incubator, Future3 Camp. With their support, we’ve had the chance to dream, design and create a network that has the potential to transform the world of computing and AI.
We look forward to sharing so much more with you as our roadmap unfolds! To stay up to date with our latest happenings, you can follow us on X and join our Telegram channel.
