what's Heurist?
Heurist is a decentralized AI-as-a-service (AIaaS) platform built on a ZK Layer-2 blockchain, enabling scalable and secure AI computations. It provides infrastructure for developers to access AI models and resources in a permissionless environment, leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to ensure privacy and verifiability of AI outputs. The ecosystem focuses on integrating AI with DeFi and Web3 applications, allowing for tokenized incentives and community governance. The native token $HEU powers the network, facilitating transactions, staking for resource allocation, and participation in AI task validation. Heurist emphasizes cost reduction in AI services through partnerships with compute providers, shifting from traditional mining to AI-focused utilities. This creates a collaborative framework where users can contribute compute power or data while earning rewards, fostering an open marketplace for AI intelligence. Overall, Heurist aims to democratize AI access by combining blockchain scalability with advanced cryptography, making it suitable for applications in decentralized finance, gaming, and data analytics without centralized intermediaries.
