However, challenges remain for the mass adoption of decentralized AI
Problem
❌
Today’s protocols are optimized for cryptocurrency and DeFi but fail to address the nuanced needs of an AI-driven economy
❌
Lack the ability to fairly attribute contributions, incentivize collaboration across complex AI workflows
Exploitation by centralized entities, monopolizing AI profits and leaving downstream contributors undervalued.
❌
