TAC Protocol Bridges AI and DeFi with Trustless Marketplace

TAC (TAC) is a next-generation blockchain protocol designed to bridge artificial intelligence and decentralized finance. Launched in 2024, TAC aims to solve the centralization problem in AI by creating a trustless marketplace where developers, data providers, and compute miners can collaborate without intermediaries.

The core components of TAC include an AI Compute Layer, a Data Marketplace, a Model Registry, and the TAC Token. The AI Compute Layer is a decentralized network of GPU miners who stake TAC tokens to provide computational power for AI model training. Miners are rewarded based on verified compute hours and model accuracy.

TAC employs a unique 'Verifiable Compute' system that ensures AI computations are performed correctly without requiring trust. This is achieved through the use of Proof-of-Compute (PoC), where miners submit cryptographic proofs alongside their compute results, and validators randomly audit these proofs to prevent cheating.
