Ritual offers a suite of sovereign modular execution layers, each designed for specific types of computation, particularly focusing on AI models from classical to foundation models. It facilitates interoperability between existing blockchains and the Ritual Superchain, which acts as an AI coprocessor.
The system includes:
- Stateful Precompiles (SPCs): Stateful Precompiles (SPCs) within the Ritual ecosystem are specialized components designed to enhance blockchain efficiency and capability by directly embedding complex computations into the blockchain. They enable the execution of AI models and other sophisticated processes within the blockchain infrastructure, allowing for more advanced, AI-driven functionalities directly on-chain. This approach aims to significantly improve the performance and utility of blockchain applications by integrating more complex computational capabilities into the blockchain environment.
- Infernet: Infernet is a key component within Ritual's ecosystem, serving as a protocol that allows smart contracts to interact with AI models. Through Infernet, smart contracts can request outputs and proofs from these models, enabling the integration of complex AI-driven computations within blockchain transactions. This mechanism enhances the functionality and capability of smart contracts by leveraging AI, thus opening up new possibilities for applications and services built on blockchain technology.
