Smart Contracts may be one of the biggest drives behind the enthusiasm for blockchain. The idea is to digitally facilitate, verify, and enforce the negotiation and execution of a contract, which is carried out simultaneously in a distributed fashion on multiple nodes in a blockchain. However, the current smart contract protocol is far from perfect, suffering from both limited computing capacity and flawed governance.

The simplicity of the smart contract may not seem to be a big issue right now but its limitations may pose a threat to applications on the blockchain. Without enhancing the capability of the smart contract it is hard to implement real-world decentralized applications on the blockchain.

Whilst there are various approaches to solving the problem, enabling AI on the blockchain and integrating AI to be nested within the smart contract offers us a powerful solution.

Cortex is the first decentralized public blockchain that makes AI model inference available on the blockchain, and programmable in smart contracts.

Cortex is the first project that has taken the AI on Blockchain route. The AI smart contract is the much needed mind-blowing feature missing in all popular blockchains today. Moreover, AI models will be democratized and users will gain control of their own data and get…
