This glossary defines key terms used throughout the AIAF documentation.
A scaling solution built on top of a base blockchain (Layer 1) that processes transactions off the main chain while inheriting its security properties.
A Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge proofs to provide fast, low-cost transactions with strong security guarantees.
A unique digital asset that represents ownership of a specific item or piece of content, in AIAF's case, an AI agent.
Self-executing code deployed on a blockchain that automatically enforces and executes the terms of an agreement.
The Ethereum token standard for fungible tokens, used for the $AIAF utility token.
The Ethereum token standard for NFTs, used as the basis for AIAF's agent tokenization.
An autonomous software entity that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals.
The combining of multiple AI agents to create more complex systems that leverage the specialized capabilities of each component agent.
A machine learning approach that trains algorithms across multiple decentralized devices or servers holding local data samples, without exchanging them.
The mathematical representation of an AI system, typically trained on data to recognize patterns and make predictions.
The process of using a trained AI model to make predictions or decisions based on new input data.
The process of further training a pre-trained model on a specific dataset to adapt it to particular tasks or domains.
AIAF's computation infrastructure that combines professional GPU farms with decentralized community nodes.
The tokenized representation of an AI agent on the blockchain, establishing verifiable ownership and enabling monetization.
An entity that contributes computational resources to the AIAF network, either through professional infrastructure or decentralized nodes.
A commitment between AIAF and users regarding service quality, availability, and performance metrics for AI agent execution.
A software architectural style that defines a set of constraints for creating web services, used for AIAF's programmatic interfaces.
A query language for APIs and a runtime for executing those queries with existing data, providing a more efficient and flexible alternative to REST.
A lightweight data-interchange format used for configuration files and data exchange between the AIAF platform and applications.
