Zarathustra

Keywords: AI

Zarathustra is a distributed, modular, permissionless AI system designed to be a completely open reasoning network.

In Zarathustra, one of the great challenges in the AI world is how to coordinate complex networks of intelligent agents. As AI gains more and more autonomy, there will be an increasing need for communication and interaction between intelligent agents. These agents need to be equipped with standardized protocols and interfaces to facilitate trustless data exchange and negotiation. In order to effectively facilitate this coordination, a well-defined economic incentive structure, including rewards and penalties, is needed to ensure strong coordination between agents.

Zarathustras system mainly consists of three roles: users, routers, and models. These participants can be coordinated through smart contracts, and anyone can join and play any role without permission.

In terms of operating mechanism, users can interact with the front end to submit queries, and the query requirements will be submitted to the smart contract. The smart contract will randomly process and broadcast events, and the events will be received by the router. The router will then analyze the nature of the event and the required tasks, and then assign the tasks to the appropriate dedicated model based on the analysis results.

Keywords: FHE, advertising

AdFHE aims to use fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) to achieve personalized advertising.

FHE is a technology that allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without decrypting it, which means AdFHE can safely analyze user characteristics and preferences, ensuring privacy is preserved throughout the process. AdFHE works in a very similar way to how some search engines or social media platforms provide customized content without revealing personal information. AdFHE uses a recommendation algorithm that processes encrypted user data, allowing the platform to provide more targeted advertising without exposing the users personal search history and personal information.

Inspired by Solana Actions and Blinks and Facaster Frames, Ephi aims to extend the Web3 ecosystem to any Web2 environment. Ephi will achieve this by creating a browser extension that supports embedding a mini version window anywhere on a web page.

In order to demonstrate in the hackathon, Ephi built three different Blinks examples, including three functions: bridging, donation, and exchange. The relevant examples are embedded on X, but Ephi emphasizes that you can embed this function in Facebook, Twitch, YouTube, Reddit, Medium and other places.
