Raven Protocol is giving away 1,000,000 RAVEN, free AI/ML courses, and autographed copies of Kailash’s book to people in the community who can creatively answer the question: Why is Raven Protocol important to the future of AI?

Co-founder, Sherman Lee, speaking at a Design conference in HK and answering community questions on the importance of Raven Protocol for the AI industry. This was the early days when were just getting started. Understanding the impact we could make in the future of this industry really motivated us to get to where we are today.

We are overwhelmed by the enthusiasm shown by the community during our IDO, the first ever Initial DEX Offering, on Binance DEX. The subsequent Hot Pot Trading Competition also drew a lot attention in the Raven community. We are excited that you are here and looking for even more ways to engage with the team. Our ears are on the ground listening to everything you have to say on TG. We are loving every minute of it.

Community engagement is going to be an important pillar of Raven’s process as we build cutting edge technology for the future. Blockchain is going to transform the AI industry:

  • Blockchain enables the sharing of training datasets
  • Blockchain enables the sharing of research algorithms
  • Blockchain enables the sharing of compute resources (Hello Raven!)

Watch this interview with co-founder Sherman Lee on how Raven Protocol was started. He discusses the technical challenges on building the framework from the ground up. It’s an exciting rare interview with us as we spend all of our time heads down building.

Raven is developing a framework to perform AI training faster than existing solutions. It’s our core focus/use case and it’s a key component in pushing the industry forward. The community’s expertise and vision for the future is going to play a critical role. We all need to work together.

Taking this forward, we launch today an initiative for the community to get more involved in bringing Raven to the next level.

The Competition: Proof of Humanity
