Detailed Explanations: Consensus Layer Technologies

...

BABE+GRANDPA

Drives hybrid consensus with BABE's probabilistic block production and GRANDPA's deterministic finality, achieving fast finality (~1–2 seconds) critical for real-time AI validation through Substrate's optimized consensus framework .

Substrate Framework

Provides modularity for custom pallets (e.g., pallet-poi, pallet-posp), using Patricia Tries with RocksDB backend for low-latency state updates (~1ms) within the FRAME system.

Patricia Tries

Manage immutable state with O(log n) operations, generating Merkle proofs for tamper-proof PoI scores through Substrate's native state commitment mechanism .

Proof of Intelligence (PoI)

Nodes contribute AI computations, scored as PoI_Score_i = Σ (Accuracy_j × Efficiency_j × Complexity_j), with tasks assigned via VRF integrated with BABE's epoch randomness for fairness, initially supporting matrix operations through off-chain workers.

Proof of Space (PoSp)

Validates storage commitments from nodes through custom verification pallets, ensuring data availability for AI applications while offering a more sustainable alternative to energy-intensive consensus mechanisms.
