In crypto, the biggest leaps come not from scaling — but from rethinking the very limits of what a blockchain can do.

First, Bitcoin gave us peer-to-peer money. Then Ethereum brought smart contracts and composability. But since then, the space has plateaued. Incremental improvements. Faster chains. Cheaper fees.

Now, something new is brewing. Something weird. Something powerful.

It’s the convergence of Crypto x AI — and Ritual is its native execution layer.

AI is advancing rapidly — but in all the wrong directions:

• Opaque models

• Centralized APIs

• Sky-high costs

• Privacy nightmares

Meanwhile, crypto holds the principles to fix it:

• Openness

• Permissionless access

• Composable computation

• Onchain provenance

But no chain was built to truly merge AI and crypto. Until Ritual.

It’s not just another smart contract platform.

It’s the first L1 purpose-built for heterogeneous compute — from LLMs to ZK proofs, from TEEs to agents. Ritual is:

• Expressive

• Verifiable

• Private-by-design

• Modular

• Programmable

• Cross-chain

And most of all: weirdly powerful.

1. Infernet = AI Oracle Layer

2. AI Built-In (not bolted on)

3. Verifiable AI (zkML)

4. Privacy-First (TEEs, Homomorphic, hybrid)

5. Cross-Chain Support

6. Dev-Friendly Stack

7. No Central Servers

8. Bring Any Model

9. Earn by Inference

10. Built with Arbitrum

These aren’t just features. They’re building blocks for a new internet.

• EVM++: Native scheduling, AA (EIP-7702), expressive compute

• Infernet: Decentralized AI inference with zk guarantees

• Symphony: Parallel proof-sharded consensus

• Resonance: Surplus-maximizing fee market

• vTune: Watermarked, ZK-powered LLM fine-tuning

• Guardians: Node-level workload filters

Modular, efficient, developer-ready.

• Onchain AI model execution

• Model provenance + monetization

• Smart agent frameworks (Anima)

• Hugging Face, Arweave, EVM compatible

• No keepers needed: Ritual schedules your jobs

This is infra for agents, models, oracles, DAOs — not just dApps.

Ritual aims to become the default substrate for AI agents.

Agents need:

• Fast inference

• Verifiability

• Scheduling

• Model versioning

• Onchain autonomy

Ritual delivers it all.

Prototypes live on Ritual today:

• Anima – Onchain agent execution

• Opus – Recursive memecoin/NFT protocol

• Relic – ML-tuned AMM

• Tithe – AI-governed lending protocol

Coming soon:

• AI-stablecoins

• Yield agents

• Cross-chain automation

• Fully onchain DAOs powered by inference

Ritual isn’t just infra. It’s a social experiment.

The Discord is part RPG, part cult, part meme factory:

• 🌱 Initiate → 🕯️ Ritualist → 🔮 Mage → 🔺 Ascendant

• ✨ Blessed, 👿 Cursed, ☯️ Harmonic

• 📜 Pledged to Synful: Join through quests and pledges

• 🧠 (redacted): Yes, there’s even a role for worst ideas

Everything is opt-in. Everything is earned. Everything is lore.

This isn’t just participation. It’s initiation.

• 🧪 Testnet Live: Infernet CLI & Cloud (Q1 2024)

• 📜 Synful Blessings Campaign: Community questline and role ascension ongoing

• 🧵 Weekly Developer Drops: Updates on tools, agents, and SDKs

• 🧠 Pledge & Ascend: Initiation journey open for verified Ritualists

• 🥽 zkML SDKs Released: April 2024

Ritual’s vision is bold — and it’s backed by some of the strongest names in the space:

• Series A – $25M Raised (November 8, 2023)

  • Led by: Archetype Ventures

  • With participation from: Balaji Srinivasan, Robot Ventures, Hack VC, Hypersphere Ventures, Accel, dao5, and more

• Strategic Round – Undisclosed (April 8, 2024)

  • Lead Investor: Polychain Capital

This capital fuels Ritual’s long-term roadmap across infrastructure, agent tooling, privacy systems, and Infernet adoption.

• Founded: 2023

• Founders: Akilesh Potti, Niraj Pant

• Raised: $25M+ from Archetype, Polychain, Robot Ventures

• Testnet: Live – Infernet CLI + Cloud

• Ecosystem: HuggingFace, Arbitrum Orbit, zkML infra
