The three-way battle of AI verification and account abstraction infrastructure: @Mira_Network, @Surf_Copilot, @useTria At the intersection of AI and blockchain, three powerful projects are racing down different paths. Mira Network is already operational on the mainnet, leading the way in 'trustworthy AI verification', while Surf envisions a futuristic research platform where AI takes over DeFi research, and Tria is leaping into a neobank that simplifies complex multi-chain payments with just one click. All three projects are still in their early growth stages, but they are considered key drivers of the upcoming 'AI agent economy'. Mira Network is a network born for AI verification. This system operates on the Base chain and uses a unique consensus structure that mixes proof of work and proof of stake. It 'binaryizes' the results generated by AI and divides them among multiple verification nodes, with over 110 models, from GPT-4o to Claude 3.5, making judgments together. The accuracy achieved this way is over 95%, and the AI hallucination rate has been reduced by 90%. Validators participate by staking MIRA tokens, and if they produce inaccurate results, they may lose their stake. This means the entire system is geared towards 'honest verification'. Surf is, in a nutshell, an 'operating system where AI researches and executes DeFi'. When a user asks, "What’s the mood in the Ethereum market?", Surf scrapes data from 40 chains and tweets from 100,000 KOLs, organizing it in an easy-to-understand format. Users can choose from a simple summary mode to a deep research mode, and it also features an embedded wallet structure that allows for immediate trading after viewing results. Although still in beta, it has been recognized for its potential, attracting investments from a16z and Polychain Capital. Tria approaches from a completely different angle. With the concept of 'chain abstraction', users can treat assets on any chain as if they were in a single bank. The core technology is BestPath AVS, which operates on EigenLayer and allows AI to find the optimal payment path in real-time. It applies TSS, a security technology based on MPC, to distribute personal keys into multiple pieces, ensuring that even operators cannot access them through AMD SEV hardware isolation. As a result, Tria creates a payment experience that requires "no bridges or gas fees". Mira collaborates with partners like Delphi Digital, KernelDAO, and Gigabrain to provide AI verification oracles for over 70 protocols. Surf connects research and trading on a single screen, making DeFi activities much more intuitive, while Tria works with Polygon, Injective, and Sentient to handle asset transfers across multiple virtual machines (EVM, SVM, MoveVM, Cosmos) all at once. Security is also robust. Mira prevents fraud with staking-based economic incentives, Surf filters out false information by only citing trustworthy data using RAG technology, and Tria applies slashing to nodes that engage in malicious behavior by leveraging EigenLayer's restaking structure. In terms of performance, Mira stands out. It verifies over 3 billion tokens daily and processes 19 million queries weekly, securing 4.5 million users. Despite being in beta, Surf already has tens of thousands of users, and Tria has over 250,000 users experiencing payments on the testnet. Mira's market cap is approximately $54 million, while Surf and Tria are both in the pre-token issuance stage but have already attracted significant investments. Ultimately, these three projects are weaving AI and DeFi into a single ecosystem along different paths. Mira is the 'trust engine that makes AI reliable', Surf is the 'smart assistant where AI conducts research and execution', and Tria is the 'payment brain that unites all chains'. In an era where AI understands, verifies, and even executes trades in DeFi, these three names are at the center.

I’m genuinely happy for @dankrad. The guy has spent many years building Ethereum, he’s earned the right to go explore new things, and remember, he got torched for trying to just advise Eigen. L1s, L2s, “corp chains” will all coexist, and honestly, we’re gonna see a gradient of decentralization, not a binary one.

Dive deeper into Eigen

EIGEN is a universal intersubjective work token within the EigenLayer protocol. It's called an "intersubjective" token because it's designed to address intersubjective faults in a network. These are faults where there's consistent agreement among the majority of network participants that a malicious act has been committed. As a result, EIGEN helps to secure the network by discouraging inconsistent behaviors.

The EigenLayer protocol allows stakers of ETH, the native token of the Ethereum network, to extend the network's security to other applications across the EigenLayer network through a novel concept known as restaking. Here, ETH stakers can restake their tokens to secure other protocols built on EigenLayer, without the need to build a separate validator set.

How does EIGEN work?

Where ETH is used to secure services or protocols, EIGEN helps to address intersubjective faults that deserve a penalty by introducing intersubjective staking. In this situation, stakers who act outside of the network's rules can be penalized through slashing. Slashing sees individuals lose a quantity of their staked ETH. According to the project, through this approach, the EIGEN token allows the token to be forked without forking the Ethereum mainnet consensus.

EIGEN is also used to secure EigenDA, a data availability layer that supports Ethereum rollups.

Price and tokenomics

Season one of stakedrop claims for the EIGEN token opened on May 10, 2024. Here, 6.05% of the token's total supply of 1.67 billion EIGEN were made available to eligible users. Season one phase two of the stakedrop launched in June 2024, and made a further 0.7% of the total token supply available. According to the project, future seasons will see a further 1.5% of the total EIGEN tokens released.

Alongside the 15% of tokens allocated to stakedrops, 15% will go towards community initiatives, with 15% allocated to ecosystem development. A further 29.5% will be allocated to investors, with 25.5% assigned to early contributors.

All tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will remain fully locked up for one year after the date on which the token first becomes transferrable for the community. After this date, the EIGEN tokens allocated to investors and core contributors will be unlocked at a rate of 4% per month. This means EIGEN held by investors and core contributors won’t be fully unlocked until three years after the date the tokens first become transferable for the community.
