While Solana and Ethereum race for faster speeds, Lightchain AI quietly lays the groundwork for a new era of intelligent blockchain protocols. Set to launch its mainnet in 2025 with its Bonus Round currently underway, Lightchain AI aims to build an ecosystem where AI computations are native, scalable, and decentralized. The platform introduces a purpose-built virtual machine specifically designed for AI tasks and a consensus model that rewards real computational effort, not just staking or mining. Unlike those focused solely on throughput improvements, Lightchain AI is building the foundation for truly smart, adaptable, and future-forward blockchain infrastructure. [Link to Whitepaper]
