Cortex's main mission is to provide state-of-the-art machine learning models on the blockchain, where users can perform inferences using smart contracts on the Cortex blockchain. One of the goals of Cortex also includes implementing a machine learning platform that allows users to post tasks on the platform and submit AI DApps (artificial intelligence decentralized applications). Cortex is the only public blockchain that allows non-trivial AI algorithms to be executed on the blockchain. The mainnet has been launched. Go build!
