Core Features and Benefits of the Neura Blockchain

The Neura blockchain offers an enhanced foundation for AI projects with a fusion of tech to transform scalability, economics, security, and interoperability.

Scaling GPU Resources to Any Demand

Decentralized GPU Marketplace: At the heart of Neura lies a dynamic marketplace that empowers developers with scalable access to GPU resources, crucial for AI and blockchain computations. This ecosystem democratizes access to computational power, bridging the gap between GPU providers and developers.

Creating new funding & economics for AI

Initial Model Offerings (IMOs): Neura's groundbreaking funding mechanism, the IMO, enables AI projects to secure investment and computational resources via the blockchain. This innovation represents a significant leap forward in blockchain-based AI development, offering a sustainable growth pathway for emerging technologies.

• AI Token Sales: Although ANKR is Neura's universal gas token, AI projects can launch their own cryptocurrencies on the network to enable collective project ownership, AI model usage payments, and other functionality.

• Fractionalized Ownership: Utilizing ERC-404 tokens, Neura enables fractional ownership of projects, facilitating powerful new business models for AI.

• Revenue Sharing: Share profits from AI usage automatically using ERC-7641 tokens and spread rewards to contributors and investors.

Offering More Efficient Data Handling

Decentralized Storage Solutions: By employing cutting-edge off-chain storage solutions like EigenLayer, Celestia, Arweave, and IPFS, Neura ensures efficient and secure data storage. However, the Neura blockchain is critical for ensuring The blockchain's role is crucial in maintaining data integrity and establishing Neura as a robust platform for data-intensive AI and blockchain applications.

Providing Ironclad Bitcoin Security

21M BTC Marketcap Security: Neura harnesses the unparalleled security of staked Bitcoin, courtesy of the Babylon protocol, creating the safest environment for on-chain data. Due to Neura’s integration with Babylon, its PoS system will be able to utilize Babylon’s trustless scalable staking features to unlock value from the idle, unencumbered $1 trillion Bitcoin ecosystem.
