Matrix 2.0

Matrix 2.0 aims to create a decentralized AI economy through blockchain technology. This phase introduces a high-performance ecosystem that supports computing power rental, data verification, algorithm models, and digital asset transactions. By decentralizing AI management, Matrix 2.0 seeks to lower entry barriers to the AI ecosystem, promoting diversity and ongoing development.^[13][14]

Matrix 3.0

Matrix 3.0 aims to integrate neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technologies. This phase focuses on creating digital avatars from brain signals for tasks within the Metaverse. Currently in its first phase, this four-phase project seeks to develop Avatar Intelligence (AvI), a digital entity that represents a user's consciousness and emotional responses.

Through EEG signals, users can generate AI avatars stored in IPFS, Matrix's decentralized storage system. These avatars can be trained using Matrix's distributed computing power and machine learning platform, allowing for their transfer to third-party Metaverse platforms via Matrix's ports.^[13][14]

MANAS

MANAS (Matrix AI Network AI Service) is a decentralized AI platform built on Matrix's blockchain. It aims to provide AI services, including image recognition, by utilizing distributed computing resources. Developers can integrate these services into their applications through an API, which aims to offer scalable and adaptable AI solutions.^[4][10]

MANIA

MAN Intelligent Authentication (MANIA) is a Matrix AI Network platform that aims to authenticate and trade AI algorithms as NFTs. It utilizes blockchain and distributed storage to address intellectual property challenges, providing features such as traceable ownership and privacy-preserving computation. The platform seeks to enhance the protection of AI intellectual property and integrate AI with the NFT market.^[4][6][7]

Intelligent Contract

The Intelligent Contract platform aims to convert natural language descriptions into Solidity smart contract code, allowing users without programming experience to define and create contracts. The latest version, Intelligent Contract Version 2, seeks to improve natural language processing, broaden support for various contract standards, and integrate advanced security features to enhance accessibility, customization, and security in smart contract development.^[4][8]

MORPHEUS

Morpheus is a bilingual language model developed on Matrix infrastructure that aims to advance natural language processing. With 30 billion parameters and training on over 100 trillion text identifiers, Morpheus seeks to improve language understanding and generation.

It incorporates techniques such as Rotary Position Embedding and DeepNorm to enhance performance. The model is intended for integration with Matrix's Avatar Intelligence system and is designed to evolve with future updates. Upcoming objectives include additional training, exploring Mixture-of-Experts technology, and developing capabilities for personalized conversations.^[4][9]

PERSONA

Persona is a chatbot platform built on MATRIX's large language model, Morpheus. It aims to simulate characters by setting predefined personality traits and knowledge. The platform incorporates features like personality settings, contextual understanding, and privacy protection. Persona seeks to offer tailored interactions and improve over time through user feedback while maintaining user data security.^[4]

Bio-Wallet

Matrix Bio-Wallet aims to provide secure storage for crypto assets using finger vein recognition technology. Developed by Matrix's AI scientists, it utilizes finger vein patterns to process and sign transactions.^[4]

MANITO

MANITO (MAN Industry Tech Open-Platform) is a key component of MATRIX 2.0. It aims to provide an industrial network service by integrating blockchain technology with artificial intelligence, Big Data, and the Internet of Things.^[4]

M-Port

M-PORT is a decentralized identity (DID) platform that utilizes biometric data, such as finger vein recognition, to enhance digital identity management. It aims to provide verification for NFTs, support DeFi by using biometric data for on-chain credit assessments, and improve fairness in airdrop distributions. Additionally, M-PORT seeks to facilitate the transfer of credibility across different decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The platform aims to contribute to the development of the Web 3.0 ecosystem.^[4][11]

Tokenomics

Matrix AI Token ($MAN)

MAN tokens are used for transaction fees on the Matrix network. The maximum supply is 1,000,000,000.^[12]

Allocation

The supply of MAN tokens is allocated as follows:

• Mining Rewards: 400,000,000 tokens (40%) are designated for miners supporting the Proof of Work consensus.
• Additional Token Sales: 200,000,000 tokens (20%) are reserved for future sales, aiming to fund system scaling and development.
• Initial Coin Offering (ICO): 150,000,000 tokens (15%) were distributed during the 2018 ICO.
• Foundation Allocation: 150,000,000 tokens (15%) are intended for management, incentives, research, marketing, and community projects.
• Team Allocation: 100,000,000 tokens (10%) are set aside for founders, advisors, and early backers.^[12]

Utility

In the Matrix AI Network, MAN coins serve several key functions:

• Rewarding: MAN coins are allocated to block-generating miners, transaction validators, and ecosystem participants.
• Payment: Services like leasing spare computing power and purchasing AI services are conducted using MAN.
• Digital Asset Authentication: Creating digital assets requires burning a specified amount of MAN during the conversion of computing power, algorithmic models, or AI artworks.

In the MATRIX 3.0 economic model, additional utilities include:

• Storage Fees: Users must pay MAN for storing, accessing, and transferring their avatars.
• Computing Power Payments: Training avatars with brainwave data necessitates using MANTA and paying MAN to computing power providers.
• Verification: A certain amount of MAN must be staked or paid for verification when avatars interact with others. ^[14]
