OptimAI Network

A decentralized AI network focused on enabling real-time, continuously learning agentic AI systems through community-owned data and distributed compute. Built on a DePIN architecture with an EVM Layer-2 backbone on BNB Chain (opBNB and BNB Greenfield), OptimAI addresses a structural limitation of current AI platforms: dependence on centralized, static, and low-context data.

Overview

OptimAI Network is a decentralized AI network designed to support autonomous AI systems at scale. The network enables agents to operate on behalf of users, while data and compute are contributed, validated, and economically rewarded across a distributed infrastructure. Continuous reinforcement is driven by network participation rather than centralized model control.

Our flagship product, the OptimAI Agent, delivers autonomous research, search, and personalized content workflows across web and social platforms, with agents that improve over time through decentralized reinforcement rather than one-off prompts.

Built on BNB Chain's opBNB for immutable integrity anchoring and BNB Greenfield for scalable proof storage, OptimAI creates an end-to-end verifiable on-chain data pipeline for decentralized AI operations. This architecture supports scalable, cost-efficient, and verifiable AI systems that remain aligned with user ownership and long-term network incentives.

Backed by YZi Labs (EASY Residency S1) and CoinMarketCap's CMC Labs, OptimAI has scaled rapidly since its March 2025 launch to over 970,000 deployed nodes and more than 40,000 active agentic users. The network enables privacy-first, user-owned AI agents and positions itself as a Web3-native alternative to centralized agentic systems such as Manus AI, ChatGPT Operator, or Grok. OptimAI's approach has been externally validated, including recognition by CZ as the leading persona-based agentic system during his Personalized AI Challenge on Binance Square in August 2025.

⚠️ The Problem

Current AI platforms are built on centralized architectures that concentrate data ownership, model control, and economic value within a small number of providers. This structure increases costs, limits transparency, and restricts user agency, while relying on static or low-context data that does not improve meaningfully through real-world use.

🧠 OptimAI's Approach

OptimAI introduces a decentralized AI network where autonomous agents operate on behalf of users, not platforms. Data and compute are contributed and rewarded across a distributed network, and model reinforcement is driven by continuous community validation rather than centralized oversight. This design enables AI systems that are scalable, cost-efficient, verifiable, and aligned with user ownership and long-term participation.

OptimAI turns everyday browsing and interactions into ethical, privacy-preserving AI training, shifting AI from extraction to participation and ownership.

BNB Greenfield Storage

• Bucket Name: optimai-mining-proofs
• Purpose: Stores epoch manifests, task proofs, and verification artifacts
• Access: Public read access for trustless verification

Architecture

opBNB - Immutable Integrity & Time Anchoring

• Records cryptographic commitments (Merkle roots) for each batch of completed tasks
• Stores irreversible on-chain "receipts" proving work existed within specific UTC epochs
• Anchors minimal metadata: merkleRoot, manifestURI, epochId, schemaVersion
• Enables trustless verification without relying on OptimAI servers

BNB Greenfield - Scalable Proof & Data Availability Layer

• Decentralized storage for full proof artifacts generated from off-chain work
• Stores detailed epoch manifests including all tasks, leaf hashes, and metadata
• Serves as the data availability layer backing every on-chain commitment
• Allows third parties to fetch manifests, recompute Merkle trees, and verify consistency

End-to-End Verifiable Pipeline

• opBNB = truth & finality
• Greenfield = evidence & availability
• Each epoch becomes a public, composable, verifiable proof unit
