Justin Sun says Tron (TRX) will launch a new decentralized payment framework for artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
The Tron founder says in a new Twitter thread that the framework will work for artificial intelligence research company OpenAI and its flagship project, ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that’s gone viral in the past few months.
“The framework covers the smart contract system on the chain, the payment layer protocol, the underlying calling SDK [software development kit], and the AI payment gateway. Using the smart contract system to store user questions and AI results on the decentralized BitTorrent file storage system BTFS. The payment layer protocol provides support for stable currency settlement on the chain, and the interaction layer provides users with standard settlement and API for AI services. TRX and BTT [BitTorent] will be deeply involved to achieve fully decentralized storage and DAO [decentralized autonomous organization] governance. This framework will realize a decentralized payment system that is secure, trustworthy, tamper-proof, anti-censorship, and capable of AI, helping people build a new decentralized, intelligent financial ecosystem.”
Sun says Tron smart contracts enable automatic payments and will streamline the payment process for AI developers.
TRX’s price does not appear to be impacted by Sun’s announcement. The 18th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $0.0634 at time of writing, up around 1.6% in the past seven days.
Last month, tech giant Microsoft announced a “multiyear, multibillion-dollar investment” in OpenAI to “accelerate AI breakthroughs.”
