Architecture

Decentralized Operating System

Openfabric AI employs a decentralized operating system (DOS) that is managed by a peer-to-peer (P2P) network of nodes. The system aims to facilitate decision-making through a dynamic consensus mechanism, where the number of nodes required for consensus can vary depending on the decision's importance and security requirements.

The DOS is structured into three layers. The Application Layer aims to manage user interactions and system protocols. The Kernel Layer is responsible for handling AIs, datasets, and infrastructure. The Resource Layer supports essential technologies, such as IPFS, blockchain, and smart contracts, for the allocation and registration of resources.^[10]

Ontology Connection System

Openfabric AI's Ontology Connection System aims to support decentralization, security, interoperability, and accessibility by using an ontology-based protocol. This protocol helps standardize data formats, which facilitates integration and validation across various AI algorithms.

The system architecture comprises several layers: The Structural Layer defines the core classifications and relationships. The Connection Layer manages concept locations and mappings between ontology versions. The Encoding Layerspecifies the data formats used. The Defaults Layer provides fallback values for properties, while the Validation Layerenforces rules on schema properties. The Restriction Layer imposes constraints, and the Naming Layer provides tags for clarity. The Instruction Layer offers guidance on data input and layout. Additionally, the Versioning Layer manages updates to the schema, and the Template Layer organizes schema elements based on context.^[11]

Trusted Execution Environment

Openfabric AI's Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) aims to support scalability by using virtual machines and containers for isolation. Virtual machines provide a higher level of security with greater overhead, while containers offer reduced overhead at the cost of some isolation.

The TEE incorporates additional security measures to address potential risks in a decentralized system. It aims to ensure data privacy and accuracy for users, protect against malicious code for infrastructure providers, and safeguard intellectual property for AI developers.^[12]

Tokenomics

OpenFabric AI Token ($OFN)

The $OFN token aims to facilitate network consensus, governance, and interactions within the Openfabric AI ecosystem. It is employed for transactions, staking, and as a medium of exchange.^[13]

Utility

The $OFN token facilitates key functions in the Openfabric AI ecosystem:

• Staking: Used by network participants to secure the network, with penalties for misbehavior.
• Rewards: Provides rewards to infrastructure providers, AI innovators, and data providers.
• Payment: Serves as a medium for purchasing services and products on the platform.
• Medium of Exchange: Functions as the internal currency for transactions and trading.
• Governance: Enables voting on project decisions via a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
• Exclusive Access: Grants access to exclusive products, early releases, events, and communication channels.^[14]

Allocation

The total $OFN supply is 500,000,000 tokens. The distribution is as follows:

• Seed: 25,000,000 tokens (5%) with an 8% release at TGE, 3-month cliff, 18-month vesting.

Ambassador Program

The Openfabric AI Ambassador Program seeks individuals interested in artificial intelligence to help promote and expand awareness of AI technologies. Ambassadors are expected to organize educational events, create and share content, and foster local AI communities. They will also engage on social media and provide feedback to the Openfabric team.

Ideal candidates should have a strong interest in AI, good communication skills, and a commitment to community engagement. The program offers opportunities for networking with experts, access to AI resources, and skill development. Applications involve submitting a form, participating in an interview, and, if selected, receiving resources to support their role.^[16]
