L1 AI Chain

Planck Chain is a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain meticulously designed to power the future of decentralized AI. It serves as the backbone of the Planck ecosystem, enabling the seamless onboarding of GPUs, facilitating secure and efficient transactions, and fostering a thriving community of AI innovators.

Why a Dedicated AI Blockchain?

While many AI projects utilize existing blockchains, Planck recognized the need for a specialized chain tailored to the unique demands of AI workloads. Planck Chain is engineered to address the specific challenges and opportunities presented by decentralized AI, providing a robust and scalable foundation for the Planck ecosystem.

Permissionless GPU Onboarding:

• Democratizing AI Compute: Planck Chain allows anyone, anywhere, to connect their GPUs to the network and contribute to the computational power that fuels the platform. This permissionless approach democratizes access to AI compute, fostering a truly decentralized and inclusive ecosystem.

• Expanding the AI Resource Pool: By enabling a vast and diverse network of GPU contributors, Planck Chain ensures a readily available and scalable pool of computational resources for AI workloads of any size.

• Empowering Individuals and Businesses: Whether you're a gamer with a powerful gaming rig or a data center with racks of enterprise-grade GPUs, Planck Chain allows you to monetize your hardware by contributing to the AI revolution.

EVM Compatibility:

• Seamless Integration with the Ethereum Ecosystem: Planck Chain is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), enabling developers to easily deploy and run existing Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) on the Planck network.

• Leveraging Existing Tools and Resources: EVM compatibility unlocks access to a vast array of developer tools, libraries, and resources within the Ethereum ecosystem, streamlining the development process and accelerating innovation.

• Facilitating Cross-Chain Interoperability: EVM compatibility paves the way for seamless cross-chain communication and asset transfer between Planck Chain and other EVM-compatible blockchains, expanding the possibilities for decentralized AI applications.

Built with Substrate:

• Modular and Adaptable Framework: Planck Chain is built using the Substrate framework, a powerful and flexible toolkit for blockchain development. Substrate's modular design allows for easy customization and upgrades, ensuring that Planck Chain can adapt to the evolving needs of the AI landscape.

• Enhanced Scalability and Performance: Substrate's efficient runtime environment and optimized consensus mechanisms contribute to Planck Chain's scalability and performance, enabling it to handle the growing demands of AI workloads.

• Future-Proofing the Network: Substrate's modularity and upgradeability ensure that Planck Chain remains at the forefront of blockchain technology, allowing for the seamless integration of new features and functionalities as the AI ecosystem evolves.

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Consensus:

• Energy Efficiency and Security: Planck Chain utilizes a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, providing a secure and energy-efficient way to validate transactions and secure the network. PoS significantly reduces energy consumption compared to Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchains, making it a more sustainable choice for the future of AI.

• Decentralized Governance: PoS empowers token holders to participate in network governance by staking their $PLANCK tokens. This decentralized approach ensures that the network remains secure and resilient, while also fostering community involvement in decision-making processes.

• Staking Rewards: Token holders who stake their $PLANCK earn rewards for their contribution to network security and stability, further incentivizing participation and strengthening the Planck ecosystem.

Proof-of-Computation (PoC) and Proof-of-Data (PoD) Rewards:

• Rewarding GPU Contributions: Planck Chain incentivizes GPU providers through PoC and PoD rewards. PoC rewards are earned for simply having GPUs connected and active on the network, while PoD rewards are earned for actively processing data and contributing to AI workloads.

• Driving Network Growth: These reward mechanisms encourage users to contribute their computational resources, ensuring a robust and growing supply of GPU power for the Planck ecosystem.

• Fair Compensation for Contributors: PoC and PoD rewards ensure that GPU providers are fairly compensated for their valuable contributions to the network, fostering a sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem.

Planck Chain v2: The Next Evolution:

• Enhanced Scalability and Performance: Planck Chain v2, scheduled for release in Q3 2025, is undergoing a complete rewrite in Rust, a high-performance programming language known for its speed, efficiency, and security. This rewrite will significantly enhance the chain's scalability and performance, enabling it to handle the increasing demands of the AI industry.

• Optimized for AI Workloads: Planck Chain v2 will be specifically optimized for AI workloads, ensuring that the network can efficiently process the complex computations and data transfers required for advanced AI applications.

• Future-Proofing the Platform: This major upgrade will solidify Planck Chain's position as a leading platform for decentralized AI, providing a robust and future-proof foundation for the Planck ecosystem.

Planck Chain is more than just a blockchain; it's the foundation for a new era of decentralized AI. By empowering individuals and organizations to contribute their computational resources, fostering innovation through EVM compatibility, and ensuring security and scalability through PoS consensus, Planck Chain is paving the way for a truly decentralized and accessible AI future.
