We talked about the current state of blockchain x AI integration, now begs the question…why? Does blockchain technology really need AI or vice versa? Empirically, there are a lot of projects developing interesting tangential use-cases involving putting AI personas or LLM-based consumer applications on-chain, but would core blockchain services really benefit from AI integration? What even are the use-cases?
Let’s take a deeper dive.

Preface
In the previous blog post, we talked about the current state of blockchain x AI inference and some of the major limitations that are preventing integration of the two technologies. Quick recap: (1) Hardware limitations of validator nodes and decentralization, (2) Gas and blockspace limitations leading to congestion, (3) New orthogonal security vulnerabilities from trusting off-chain model inference. These are the core problems we’re solving at Vanna Labs, we are re-inventing blockchain architecture to support native, scalable, and trustless AI/ML model inference that can be seamlessly leveraged directly from solidity smart contracts. We would like to open up a new world of possibilities with these native features for decentralized application developers.
