GenLayer Partners with ZKsync to Launch GenLayer Chain on Elastic Network

GenLayer integrates AI-driven consensus with ZK technology to enable real-time data processing and trustless decision-making for the next generation of decentralized applications.

‍

San Francisco, January 29, 2025 – GenLayer, the Intelligence Layer of the Internet, today announced the launch of its GenLayer Chain, powered by ZKsync. GenLayer’s AI-powered "Intelligent Contracts" will be accessible throughout ZKsync’s Elastic Network ecosystem. Integrating AI at the consensus layer, GenLayer enables dynamic, trustless decision-making and a new generation of smart contracts that surpass traditional deterministic logic.

‍

GenLayer’s Intelligent Contracts leverage AI to natively access the internet, process natural language, and handle non-deterministic operations, allowing applications to autonomously analyze and adapt to real-world data. Decentralized applications in the Elastic Network will be able to leverage GenLayer’s AI-driven Intelligence Layer for trustless decision-making while benefiting from ZKsync’s speed, scalability, and low cost.

‍

By deploying the GenLayer Chain as a ZK Chain within ZKsync’s Elastic Network, GenLayer has created a new paradigm for how decentralized applications interact with offchain data. Integrating GenLayer’s first-of-its-kind AI consensus with ZKsync’s industry-leading scalability addresses one of blockchain’s core challenges: trustlessly connecting smart contracts with live data and decision-making.

‍

"GenLayer leverages AI at the consensus layer to make it dynamic. Instead of relying on a single authority, it facilitates agreement among multiple validators through majority voting and escalating rounds of appeals. The goal is to build a trustless, unbiased decision-making protocol, that can reliably arrive at the truth.”, explained Albert Castellana Lluis, CEO of YeagerAI, the company building GenLayer. "Bitcoin is Trustless Money, Ethereum is Trustless Applications, and GenLayer is Trustless Decision-Making. Combined with ZKsync's infrastructure, GenLayer provides the scalability and security needed to unlock a new generation of decentralized applications."

Key Benefits of the Integration

  1. AI-Powered Smart Contracts: Intelligent Contracts that natively access the Internet, process natural language, and handle non-deterministic operations.
  2. Universal Data Access: Real-time, reliable data feeds to blockchain applications without reliance on traditional oracle networks.
  3. Decentralized AI Consensus: Trustless decision-making is achieved through consensus among multiple AI models connected to individual validators.
  4. Enterprise-Grade Scalability: ZKsync’s technology ensures high performance, low costs, and Ethereum-level security.

"This integration represents a meaningful shift in how blockchain applications can interact with the real world," said Alex Gluchowski, Co-Inventor of ZKsync. "With GenLayer's Intelligent Contracts on ZKsync, developers can build applications that can understand natural language, interpret events, and make complex decisions through AI consensus. GenLayer's technology makes it easier to leverage offchain data storage solutions alongside blockchains."

New Use Cases Enabled by GenLayer:

  • Intelligent Oracles: Delivering real-time, reliable data feeds without intermediaries.
  • Performance-Based Payments: Self-monetizing AI agents that autonomously earn and manage funds.
  • Prediction Markets: Decentralized betting powered by verified outcomes for transparency and security.
  • Autonomous DAOs: Self-governing organizations that dynamically adapt to mission objectives.
  • AI Legal Frameworks: Automated, fair dispute resolution through intelligent arbitration.
  • Decentralized Games: Dynamic decision-making for interactive blockchain-based games

The new protocol will be showcased at ETHDenver (February 23-26, 2025) and EthCC (June 30-July 3, 2025).
