Intelligent Contracts Enable Trustless Decision-Making and Real-Time Data Processing San Francisco, – GenLayer, the Intelligence Layer of the Internet, has announced the testnet launch of its GenLayer Chain, a groundbreaking integration with ZKsync’s Elastic Network. Combining AI-driven consensus with ZKsync’s cutting-edge scalability, GenLayer is set to redefine the possibilities of decentralized applications by enabling dynamic, trustless decision-making and real-time data processing. At the heart of this innovation lies Intelligent Contracts, a transformative advancement in blockchain technology. Unlike traditional deterministic smart contracts, Intelligent Contracts leverage AI to natively access the internet, process natural language, and execute non-deterministic operations. This opens new horizons for decentralized applications (dApps), enabling them to autonomously analyze and adapt to real-world data while benefiting from ZKsync’s unparalleled speed, low costs, and Ethereum-level security. Revolutionizing Blockchain Consensus with AI GenLayer introduces a novel approach to blockchain consensus by integrating AI at the protocol’s core. This enables a trustless, unbiased decision-making mechanism that relies on multiple validators reaching consensus through dynamic voting and iterative appeals. Albert Castellana Lluis, CEO of YeagerAI, the company behind GenLayer, highlighted the transformative nature of this innovation: "Bitcoin is Trustless Money, Ethereum is Trustless Applications, and GenLayer is Trustless Decision-Making. By embedding AI into the consensus layer, we’ve created a system that dynamically adapts to real-world conditions and ensures unbiased, reliable outcomes. Combined with ZKsync's infrastructure, GenLayer unlocks a new generation of scalable, secure decentralized applications." The GenLayer Chain operates as a ZK Chain within ZKsync’s Elastic Network, creating a seamless integration between AI-driven consensus and ZKsync’s industry-leading scalability. This union addresses one of blockchain’s fundamental challenges: trustlessly connecting onchain applications with live, offchain data while maintaining transparency and security. Enabling a New Era of Decentralized Applications By combining GenLayer’s Intelligent Contracts with ZKsync’s scalability, developers can now build applications that go beyond static logic. This integration paves the way for groundbreaking use cases, including: Intelligent Oracles: Real-time data feeds without the need for traditional intermediaries. Performance-Based Payments: Self-monetizing AI agents capable of earning and managing funds autonomously. Autonomous DAOs: Self-governing organizations that dynamically adapt to shifting mission objectives. AI Legal Frameworks: Automated dispute resolution through intelligent arbitration protocols. Decentralized Games: Interactive, blockchain-based games powered by AI-driven decision-making. Alex Gluchowski, Co-Inventor of ZKsync, emphasized the significance of this collaboration: "GenLayer’s integration with ZKsync represents a meaningful shift in how blockchain applications interact with the real world. By enabling Intelligent Contracts, developers can create applications that understand natural language, interpret real-time events, and make complex decisions—all with trustless AI-driven consensus." Key Innovations Powering GenLayer GenLayer’s integration introduces several groundbreaking advancements that make it a game-changer for decentralized applications: AI-Powered Smart Contracts: These contracts can access live data, process natural language, and execute non-deterministic operations, offering unprecedented flexibility and functionality. Universal Data Access: Blockchain applications can connect directly to reliable real-time data feeds without relying on centralized oracle networks. Decentralized AI Consensus: Leveraging multiple AI models and validators ensures trustless, scalable decision-making with dynamic adaptability. A Glimpse into the Future The potential of GenLayer’s Intelligent Contracts and ZKsync’s infrastructure will be showcased at major blockchain conferences, including ETHDenver (February 23-26, 2025) and EthCC (June 30-July 3, 2025). These events will highlight how the technology is already reshaping decentralized finance, gaming, and AI-powered governance. By breaking the limitations of traditional blockchain systems, GenLayer is not only setting a new standard for trustless decision-making but also empowering developers to create applications that can dynamically adapt to the complexities of the real world.
