Zoro AI is a platform that integrates artificial intelligence and blockchain technology. It utilizes tokenized rewards to incentivize user participation in AI training and related tasks. It aims to make AI accessible through a user-friendly interface, powered by Telegram. ^[2]

Overview

Zoro is a decentralized platform focused on AI robotics and machine learning. It incorporates blockchain to promote transparency and participation. It uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable privacy-preserving computations, which is particularly important for AI systems that process sensitive data.

The platform operates via Telegram, allowing users to complete machine learning tasks through a messaging interface. Participation is incentivized through token-based rewards, and engagement is gamified through a ranking system that may influence future token distributions.

Its machine learning pipeline relies on a globally distributed process for data collection, classification, processing, and validation, supporting diverse and scalable AI training. Tasks are compensated through automated token payments, with workflows adjusted based on user skills and location. A large contributor base enables high-throughput, parallel data labeling.

Users interact through a quest-based system, completing tasks for rewards. KYC verification and onboarding tasks assess accuracy, with advanced users able to validate others’ work. Task validation is decentralized via a DAO structure, and blockchain with zero-knowledge proofs ensures task tracking remains private and verifiable. ^{[1] [7]}

Features

AI Pipeline

Zoro's AI pipeline is structured for scalability, using a decentralized network of annotators and validators across multiple regions. The system supports various data types, including images, video, text, audio, point clouds, and large language model inputs. Contributors are onboarded and evaluated based on task performance rather than volume, with high-performing users gaining access to more complex tasks and validation roles.

Quality control is maintained through multi-user validation and DAO-based approval mechanisms. Features include AI and manual annotation with on-chain tracking, contributor-level management, automated task distribution, and integrated performance metrics. The platform also incorporates active learning to prioritize tasks, SDKs for workflow automation, and tools for data curation, versioning, model training, and orchestration, enabling integration with broader MLOps environments. ^[7]

ZORO

The Zoro token compensates participants involved in tasks such as annotation and validation. Revenue from AI services buys back tokens, which are then redistributed as rewards, linking platform activity with token circulation. Tokens are distributed through task completion, quest participation, referrals, and grants for early-stage AI models. Users may also receive periodic payouts by locking their tokens.

On the utility side, tokens purchase datasets and AI models. Platform revenue is used to buy back tokens, which are then redistributed, forming a feedback loop. Token locking also enables access to higher user levels and roles, while fees are charged for zero-knowledge-based task verification. Additionally, users can pay tokens to access advanced tasks or upgrade their qualifications. ^[8]
