what's KRAIN AI?

KRAIN AI is an infrastructure platform for the AI economy, providing a marketplace where users can discover, deploy, interact with, and monetize AI agents equipped with cryptocurrency capabilities. It features an AI App Portal for browsing trending apps by category and reviews, a natural language-powered discovery engine, workflow builders for chaining agents, and tools for developers to launch and host AI applications seamlessly. The project is transitioning into the first AI-native Layer 2 blockchain, KRAIN Protocol, which is EVM-compatible and includes an AI Virtual Machine (AIVM) for native on-chain tensor operations and verifiable AI inference using cryptographic proofs like Optimistic ML. This enables decentralized AI computations, agent-to-agent micropayments via x402, and tokenized AI agent launches through an IAO factory, all supported by existing smart contracts and solver nodes.
