Edge Matrix Chain, the world’s leading multi-chain AI infrastructure provider, announced today the completion of a $20 million funding round and the upcoming launch of its AI-driven Layer 1 network and public testnet. As an outstanding incubation project of Future3 Campus, EMC founder and Foundation Chairman Alex Goh elaborated on the major changes after this upgrade and the main directions for the use of the raised funds.

 

Q1: Please introduce the upgraded Layer 1 network in detail. Specifically, how does it customize network functions and performance for AI use cases?


This Layer 1 network upgrade is based on the brand-new concept of “DeAI.” While previous Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains have demonstrated powerful capabilities, they face numerous challenges when handling AI use cases. AI applications typically require high-performance computing, fast data storage and retrieval, and flexible resource management—areas where traditional blockchain technology cannot effectively meet the demand.

In this upgrade, we have focused on the following improvements:

●     Distributed GPU computing support: AI workloads, especially those involving large language models (LLM) and deep learning tasks, are highly dependent on GPU resources. Therefore, we ensure that every node in the EMC network can provide GPU computing power, enabling developers to seamlessly run these complex AI models in a distributed environment. This approach not only improves computational efficiency but also significantly reduces costs.

●     Optimized data storage and retrieval: The efficiency of data flow directly impacts the performance of AI applications. We have deeply optimized the network’s data transmission, enabling high-throughput data storage and retrieval with low latency. This optimization is crucial for AI use cases that need to process massive amounts of data.

●     Flexible network architecture: Our network architecture is modular, divided into protocol, network, application, and asset layers. Each layer is carefully designed and provides rich development tools and SDKs, allowing developers to flexibly build and deploy decentralized AI applications according to specific needs. This architecture is particularly suitable for high-frequency data transmission and large-scale parallel computing.

●     Seamless integration with mainstream AI frameworks: Our network supports seamless integration with existing AI frameworks, enabling developers to easily migrate their existing AI models to the EMC platform. With our development tools and SDKs, developers can focus on innovation without worrying about the complexity of the underlying technology.

●     Intelligent resource management: Through smart contracts, our resource allocation mechanism can flexibly allocate computing power, bandwidth, and storage resources according to the specific needs of AI use cases. This not only improves resource utilization but also greatly reduces costs for developers.

With these improvements, EMC’s Layer 1 network provides AI developers with a stable, efficient, and low-cost environment for development and deployment, further driving the future development of decentralized AI.

 

Q2: In terms of ecosystem architecture, how will the upgraded Layer 1 network help developers better deploy DeAI applications?


Thank you very much for this question. At EMC, we always put developers’ needs first. Therefore, our ecosystem architecture is designed to simplify the development process, enhance flexibility, and support the development of DeAI applications through optimized infrastructure.

The upgraded EMC Layer 1 network consists of four core layers: protocol, network, application, and asset layers. Each layer provides functions and tools specifically designed for AI applications, helping developers more easily deploy decentralized AI applications.

●     Protocol layer: This is the foundational layer of the entire EMC network, responsible for defining consensus mechanisms, smart contract rules, and resource allocation strategies. We have optimized this layer for AI applications, allowing developers to efficiently manage distributed computing, storage, and resource allocation for AI tasks via smart contracts. The protocol layer also has built-in support for AI frameworks, enabling developers to seamlessly integrate their AI models into the EMC network.

●     Network layer: The network layer manages EMC’s node distribution, communication, and resource allocation. We have introduced native support for GPU computing nodes at this layer, greatly improving the processing efficiency of AI workloads. Developers can easily access globally distributed computing resources through the network layer without building expensive infrastructure themselves. This global distributed computing capability is especially suitable for AI use cases that need to process massive data, significantly reducing deployment costs.

●     Application layer: The application layer is the direct interface for developers to interact with the EMC network. We provide rich development tools, SDKs, and dApp templates to simplify the development process. Especially for AI developers, we have designed specific modules and APIs to help them quickly turn AI models into dApps. These tools enable developers to rapidly deploy their DeAI applications without needing to deeply understand the underlying complex architecture.

●     Asset layer: The asset layer manages digital assets related to AI applications, such as the trading and allocation of data, models, and computing power. EMC provides developers with convenient digital asset management tools and a decentralized marketplace, where developers can easily publish, share, and trade their AI models and datasets. In addition, the EMC network has a built-in incentive mechanism that rewards participants who contribute computing power and data to the network through a token economic model.


In summary, this modular ecosystem architecture greatly reduces development difficulty, allowing developers to focus on innovation and the application itself. In addition, through flexible resource utilization and a rich suite of developer support and toolchains, we provide developers with a powerful and open ecosystem. EMC’s ecosystem architecture will greatly promote innovation and development in decentralized AI, helping developers break through the limitations of traditional blockchain and AI systems.
