Amadeus Protocol

Amadeus Protocol's Useful Proof of Work consensus replaces traditional hash puzzles with Tensorcore matrix computations — the same mathematical operations used to train and run machine learning models. Validators earn $AMA block rewards and execution fees while simultaneously performing productive AI compute work, creating a feedback loop where increased mining directly enhances the network's intelligence infrastructure. BLS-based validation handles consensus participation and block finalization alongside the uPoW workload, and a GPU marketplace is planned for 2026 to let participants supply and access specialized compute capacity. Three interdependent participant classes sustain the network: Builders who create agents and applications that generate demand for compute, Validators who supply that compute by running nodes, and Partners who extend the ecosystem with storage, verification, data feeds, and tooling. Storage of large AI artifacts such as model weights and training datasets is offloaded to Arweave and Crust Network, with only lightweight on-chain hashes retained as audit trails. The $AMA token, with a fixed supply of one billion distributed entirely through mining, compensates each participant class for their contribution to the distributed compute layer.

PublicAI

PublicAI operates a distributed data processing network where over 1.2 million verified contributors perform AI training data tasks — labeling, ranking, annotating, and evaluating model outputs — in exchange for $PUBLIC token rewards tied directly to enterprise client revenue. Rather than centralizing this work with a single vendor, the platform distributes tasks across a tiered contributor hierarchy (Newbies, Scouts, Guards, Judges, Datababies) that functions as a quality-weighted compute layer for AI data production. Progression through tiers unlocks higher earnings, referral bonuses, and governance rights, while collateral staking requirements filter out low-quality actors before they can accumulate influence. The platform's two-phase validation pipeline exemplifies its distributed architecture: AI automated screening handles obvious decisions first, then human validators provide the consensus needed for ambiguous edge cases at one of three thresholds. Solana smart contracts anchor the resulting consensus records immutably on-chain, enabling the distributed validation network to produce verifiable, tamper-resistant outputs at scale. With support for web3 and AI training data, RLHF datasets, text-to-speech recordings spanning 44+ languages, and aesthetics assessment data, PublicAI's contributor network covers data modalities and linguistic diversity that centralized providers cannot match economically.
