Arbitrum Nitro, développé par Offchain Labs, est un protocole blockchain de deuxième génération de couche 2 conçu pour améliorer le débit, la finalité et la résolution des litiges. Il s'appuie sur le protocole Arbitrum original, apportant des améliorations significatives qui répondent aux besoins modernes de la blockchain.

Propriétés Clés d'Arbitrum Nitro​

Arbitrum Nitro fonctionne comme une solution de couche 2 au-dessus d'Ethereum, prenant en charge l'exécution de contrats intelligents utilisant le code de la machine virtuelle Ethereum (EVM). Cela garantit la compatibilité avec les applications et outils Ethereum existants. Le protocole garantit à la fois la sécurité et le progrès, en supposant que la chaîne Ethereum sous-jacente reste sûre et active, et qu'au moins un participant au protocole Nitro se comporte honnêtement.

Approche de Conception​

L'architecture de Nitro est construite sur quatre principes fondamentaux :

• Séquençage Suivi d'une Exécution Déterministe : Les transactions sont d'abord séquencées, puis traitées de manière déterministe. Cette approche en deux phases assure un environnement d'exécution cohérent et fiable.
• Geth au Cœur : Nitro utilise le package go-ethereum (geth) pour l'exécution principale et la maintenance de l'état, assurant une haute compatibilité avec Ethereum.
• Séparation de l'Exécution et de la Preuve : La fonction de transition d'état est compilée pour une exécution native et en web assembly (wasm) afin de faciliter une exécution efficace et une preuve structurée et indépendante de la machine.
• Rollup Optimiste avec Preuves de Fraude Interactives : S'appuyant sur le design original d'Arbitrum, Nitro utilise un protocole de rollup optimiste amélioré avec un mécanisme sophistiqué de preuve de fraude.

Séquençage et Exécution​

Le traitement des transactions dans Nitro implique deux composants clés : le Séquenceur et la Fonction de Transition d'État (STF).

• Le Séquenceur : Ordonne les transactions entrantes et s'engage sur cet ordre. Il garantit que la séquence des transactions est connue et fiable, la publiant à la fois comme un flux en temps réel et comme des lots de données compressées sur la chaîne Ethereum de couche 1. Cette double approche améliore la fiabilité et empêche la censure.
• Exécution Déterministe : La STF traite les transactions séquencées, mettant à jour l'état de la chaîne et produisant de nouveaux blocs. Ce processus est déterministe, ce qui signifie que le résultat dépend uniquement des données de transaction et de l'état précédent, assurant la cohérence à travers le réseau.

Architecture Logicielle : Geth au Cœur​

L'architecture logicielle de Nitro est structurée en trois couches :

• Couche de Base (Geth Core) : Cette couche gère l'exécution des contrats EVM et maintient les structures de données d'état Ethereum.
• Couche Intermédiaire (ArbOS) : Logiciel personnalisé qui fournit des fonctionnalités de couche 2, y compris la décompression des lots de séquenceur, la gestion des coûts de gaz et le support des fonctionnalités inter-chaînes.
• Couche Supérieure : Tirée de geth, cette couche gère les connexions, les requêtes RPC entrantes et d'autres fonctions de nœud de haut niveau.

Interaction Inter-Chaînes​

Arbitrum Nitro prend en charge des interactions inter-chaînes sécurisées grâce à des mécanismes comme la Boîte de Sortie, la Boîte de Réception et les Tickets Réessayables.

• La Boîte de Sortie : Permet les appels de contrat de la couche 2 à la couche 1, assurant que les messages sont transférés et exécutés en toute sécurité sur Ethereum.
• La Boîte de Réception : Gère les transactions envoyées à Nitro depuis Ethereum, garantissant qu'elles sont incluses dans le bon ordre.
• Tickets Réessayables : Permet la resoumission des transactions échouées, assurant la fiabilité et réduisant le risque de transactions perdues.

Gaz et Frais​

Nitro utilise un mécanisme sophistiqué de mesure et de tarification du gaz pour gérer les coûts des transactions :

• Mesure et Tarification du Gaz L2 : Suit l'utilisation du gaz et ajuste la redevance de base de manière algorithmique pour équilibrer la demande et la capacité.
• Mesure et Tarification des Données L1 : Assure que les coûts associés aux interactions de couche 1 sont couverts, en utilisant un algorithme de tarification adaptatif pour répartir ces coûts avec précision entre les transactions.

Conclusion​

Cuckoo Network est confiant dans l'investissement dans le développement d'Arbitrum. Les solutions avancées de couche 2 d'Arbitrum Nitro offrent une évolutivité inégalée, une finalité plus rapide et une résolution efficace des litiges. Sa compatibilité avec Ethereum assure un environnement sécurisé et efficace pour nos applications décentralisées, en accord avec notre engagement envers l'innovation et la performance.

The combination of blockchain and AI is gaining significant market attention. With ChatGPT amassing hundreds of millions of users quickly and Nvidia’s stock soaring eightfold in 2023, AI has firmly established itself as a dominant trend. This influence is spilling into adjacent sectors like blockchain, where AI applications are being explored.

Currently, crypto plays a complementary role in AI, offering significant potential for growth. Most organizations are still in the exploratory phase, focusing on the tokenization of computing power (cloud and marketplace), models (AI agents), and data storage.

Decentralized crypto technology doesn’t directly boost efficiency or reduce costs in AI training but facilitates asset trading, attracting previously unused computing power. This is profitable in today’s compute-scarce environment. Tokenizing models enables decentralized community ownership or usage, reducing barriers and offering an alternative to centralized AI. However, decentralized data remains challenging to tokenize, requiring further exploration.

While the market hasn’t reached a consensus on AI and crypto, the ecosystem is shaping up. Here are a few categories we will review today: Infrastructure-as-a-Service Cloud, computing marketplaces, model tokenization and training, AI agents, data tokenization, ZKML, and AI applications.

Infrastructure-as-a-Service Cloud​

As the AI market grows, GPU cloud computing projects and marketplaces are among the first to benefit. They aim to incorporate unused GPU resources into centralized networks, lowering computing costs compared to traditional services.

AI Agent​

AI agents, or intelligent agents, are entities capable of autonomous understanding, memory, decision-making, tool use, and performing complex tasks. These agents not only guide users on "how to" perform tasks but actively assist in completing them. Specifically, this refers to AI agents that interact with blockchain technology for activities like trading, offering investment advice, operating bots, enhancing decentralized finance (DeFi) functionalities, and performing on-chain data analysis.

Such AI agents are closely integrated with blockchain technology, enabling them to generate revenue directly, introduce new trading scenarios, and enhance the blockchain user experience. This integration represents an advanced narrative in DeFi, creating profit through trading activities, attracting capital investment, and fostering hype, which in turn drives a Ponzi scheme-like cycle of investment.

Cuckoo Network is the first Decentralized AI Model Serving Marketplace rewarding AI enthusiasts, developers, and GPU miners with crypto tokens. On our platform, miners share their GPUs with generative AI app builders, aka coordinators, in order to run inference for end customers, so that all the contributors can earn crypto tokens.

2024-07-09 update: This post is for testnet. Check this post for mainnet.

When miners share their GPUs, how to ensure they are not faking results? Cuckoo Network establishes trust and integrity through staking, rewards, and slashing. Today we are glad to announce that stakers can join our testnet and secure trust for this decentralized AI network.

Join the testnet today​

For stakers

1. Get CAI tokens from testnet faucet
2. Stake tokens at the staking portal / testnet staking
3. Vote for coordinators or miners

For GPU miners

1. Get CAI tokens by contacting admins from https://cuckoo.network/tg or https://cuckoo.network/dc
2. Stake > 20K tokens at the staking portal
3. Register minerAddress and introduction information. The minerAddress is recommended to be different from your staker address.
4. Run miner node with the minerAddress’s private key

For Coordinators

1. Get CAI tokens by contacting admins from https://cuckoo.network/tg or https://cuckoo.network/dc
2. Stake > 2M tokens at the staking portal
3. Register coordinatorAddress and introduction information. The coordinatorAddress is recommended to be different from your staker address.
4. Run the coordinator node with the minerAddress’s private key

How it works?​

The entire system takes a couple of roles to work together:

• GPU Miner Staker: Individuals or entities running computation resources to execute AI tasks. They hold CAI tokens with a wallet to stake in the network. The more they stake, the higher the chances that they will get assigned GPU tasks.
• App Builders (Coordinator Staker): Developers creating AI applications on top of Cuckoo Network, overseeing task distribution and quality control. They carry CAI tokens with a wallet to stake in the network. The more they stake, the higher the chances that they will get GPU miners who are willing to work with them.
• Stakers: Participants who stake tokens to vote for trustworthy Miners and coordinators. They will be rewarded for their stakes.
• Staking Contract: A smart contract where Miners and coordinators register and stakers vote for them.
• Coordinator Node: Generative AI applications call APIs of this node to offer GPU tasks like prompt to generate images in the network.
• Miner Node: GPU providers run miner node to undertake the task execution with GPUs.

Task assignment and scheduler is a critical function within the Cuckoo AI ecosystem, ensuring efficient and fair distribution of tasks from coordinators to Miners.

However, nodes must establish trust before getting into the system. Thus, all participants must stake tokens before they take any roles.

Then, generative AI app builders, aka coordinators, run the coordinator node with a private key whose address has been registered with the staking contracts. This node reads miner registration from the staking contracts and then listens to requests coming from miner nodes.

GPU providers run the miner node which will fetch info from staking contracts as well and poll the coordinators for pending tasks.

When the generative AI app offers a task to the coordinator, the coordinator will assign the task to the active miner addresses according to their stakes as weights. Then the corresponding miners work on the task and finally submit the results to the coordinator.

Summary​

The Cuckoo Network introduces a unique decentralized AI-to-Earn platform, emphasizing collaboration and trust. By employing staking mechanisms and incentives, it ensures the authenticity and engagement of all participants, including developers, GPU miners, and stakers. This approach guarantees reliable task distribution and fosters a sustainable environment for advancing decentralized AI technologies. Cuckoo invites more users to explore its network, offering them the opportunity to contribute to AI development while earning cryptocurrency.
