Edge Matrix Computing (EMC) is a decentralized AI computing power application network that employs blockchain technology to innovate how computational resources are utilized and distributed, with a specific focus on AI applications.
EMC functions by utilizing a blockchain-based edge computing protocol, incorporating smart contracts, decentralized storage, and consensus mechanisms for transaction validation. It aims to create a decentralized network that carries out AI tasks, using a unique "Proof of AI tasks" consensus mechanism to validate AI operations. The network employs a combination of Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithms, ensuring efficient and secure processes. Smart contracts facilitate transactions within the network, allowing for flexible and efficient resource sharing.
EMC's potential use cases span numerous sectors:
EMC was founded by Alex Goh and is part of the Future3 Campus incubator. Its notable history includes raising $20 million for the development of a specialized Layer 1 blockchain, migration to the Arbitrum network, and launching initiatives like the Edge Matrix Partner Network (EPN) for decentralized GPU computing. EMC has progressively advanced in the market, focusing on decentralized networks for AI application support.
