Introducing Talus Network: The AI Smart Agent Hub
AI in the hands of the many, not the few.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is among the most groundbreaking innovations in history. It promises an exciting and abundant future. However, gathering and employing its essential elements—data, models, and computational resources—is beyond the reach of many. AI, like much of web2, is at risk of being controlled by just a few powerful actors. This raises a pivotal question: Is it possible to create a marketplace where individuals can freely exchange data...

Bi-Monthly Recap: 4/19/24
Welcome to the Bi-Monthly Recap! In these posts, we’ll quickly break down everything you need to know from the last few weeks at Talus. First Funding Round Closed at $3M We raised $3 million in our first fundraising round, led by Polychain Capital and joined by dao5, Hash3, TRGC, WAGMI Ventures, and Inception. Angel investors from Nvidia, IBM, Blue7, Symbolic Capital, and Render Network also participated. Learn more. Partnership with Allora We partnered with Allora, a leader in self-improving...

Talus x Allora: Self-Improving AI Smart Agents
We are excited to announce our new collaboration with the Allora Network, working together to build the decentralized ecosystem for self-improving AI agents. This partnership will speed the development of AI agents for a massive range of onchain and offchain use cases. Onchain AI smart agents will shape the future of app development and how we use blockchains. Allora's self-improving intelligence helps our network enable that intersection.How Talus and Allora Fit TogetherThe partnership ...

We are thrilled to partner with NodeKit, the composability layer for blockchains. Together, we are leveraging AI smart agents to decentralize shared sequencers and making the transaction ordering workflow more efficient. This partnership paves the way for smarter, more effective rollup frameworks for L2s.
As it stands, the rollup framework is heavily centralized, with transaction ordering completed by a single node. This means that node runners control what transactions to include and how much to charge.
To solve this, NodeKit is building a shared sequencer L1 called SEQ. It helps rollups decentralize their sequencing by plugging into a decentralized network, leading to higher uptime and censorship resistance.
There is also a massive opportunity for economic specialization, with innovative MEV strategies that redistribute value back to a rollup’s ecosystem. Javelin, the super builder by NodeKit, unlocks atomic execution of cross-rollup transactions. Talus’s smart agents can be used in a Javelin instance to optimize positive economic value associated with transaction ordering, while simultaneously decreasing negative MEV externalities. This will increase the quality of execution across chains and enhance UX substantially.
With the current ordering of transactions, most block builders only think of how much value can be extracted from the current block. Smart agents and AI can be utilized to predict the value of the next block, providing much deeper insight on MEV opportunities. Going beyond the limitations of primitive bots, Talus smart agents can execute more profitable ordering strategies based on the value of future blocks.
Through this partnership, Javelin, can communicate with an execution environment about future working orders calculated by a smart agent. Then, the smart agent will be able to better determine the value of future blocks and discover MEV opportunities. This means much better estimates of how much value can be extracted or mitigated from MEV, depending on the goals of the node operator.
Here’s how it works:
An instance of Javelin integrates a Talus smart agent.
Transactions are submitted to NodeKit for ordering.
The smart agent predicts the correct transaction ordering and routing.
The most efficient/profitable ordering is returned back to rollups for execution.
Rollups can benefit from the enhanced execution quality provided by Talus AI smart agents on Javelin, offering users a smoother transaction experience. These agents help identify positive sum games for MEV and improve fee pricing through efficient ordering. With these improvements, users will experience less harmful MEV extraction, while the chain benefits from useful, non-invasive MEV maximization.
Talus is building AI Smart Agents for the people.
We are creating a decentralized protocol where individuals can freely exchange data, models, and computational power to make AI transparent and verifiable. By leveraging the security, performance, and developer experience of Move, Talus is the foundation of the Smart Agent Revolution and a new era of consumer AI.

NodeKit is the composability layer that unlocks synchronous communication between blockchains. This enables disjointed ecosystems and financial markets to be unified, paving the way to mass adoption of blockchain technology. Synchronous communication is achieved through SEQ, the shared sequencer L1, and Javelin, the super builder.
