According to the Teleporter Grants eligibility criteria, one key factor is contributing to the growth and adoption of the Avalanche ecosystem, which COA is well-positioned to achieve in several ways:\n- Trustless AI on Avalanche: COA will be the first AI-powered application on Avalanche that enables users and developers to interact with fully verifiable, trustless AI models directly on-chain. This significantly enhances the security and transparency of AI-driven dApps, eliminating the need for off-chain AI processes that require users to trust centralized entities. It opens up a whole new category of AI-based decentralized applications (DeFi, NFTs, governance, and more), attracting developers and Web3 users to the Avalanche network.\n- Massive Transaction Flow and Ecosystem Growth: As we roll out the first version of COA, we expect significant on-chain traffic driven by our partners, who will integrate COA into their products and workflows. This influx of transactions and novel AI use cases will contribute to Avalanche's growth, increase network usage, and bring new users into the ecosystem, making Avalanche the go-to network for AI-powered applications.\n- Lowering Barriers for AI-powered dApps: COA is designed to be scalable, low-cost, and developer-friendly, making it easier for dApp developers to integrate AI capabilities without needing deep expertise in AI or complex off-chain infrastructure. This aligns with the Teleporter grant\u2019s emphasis on accessibility and utility within the ecosystem, as it allows AI-driven decentralized apps to be built and deployed on Avalanche with minimal barriers.\n- Strategic Alignment with Avalanche\u2019s Vision: By empowering trustless, AI-enhanced applications, COA directly supports Avalanche's vision of becoming a leading blockchain for next-generation Web3 applications. This aligns with the Teleporter Grant\u2019s focus on projects that enhance the utility and relevance of the Avalanche network across a wide range of industries, from DeFi to gaming, enterprise solutions, and beyond.\nIn summary, COA not only meets the eligibility criteria for a Teleporter Grant but also serves as a critical infrastructure component that can drive adoption, innovation, and growth in the Avalanche ecosystem, while helping Avalanche maintain its leadership as a high-performance blockchain with cutting-edge capabilities.", "hidden": true, "question": "Please explain how your project aligns with the Avalanche Teleporter ecosystem and contributes to its growth and development:", "questionId": 4}, {"type": "paragraph", "answer": "Aizel\u2019s Coin Operated Agent (COA) is an ambitious initiative initially proposed by Avalanche\u2019s founder and CEO, Emin G\u00fcn Sirer. It represents a vision for integrating trustless AI directly into the Avalanche blockchain, creating a fully decentralized, verifiable AI ecosystem. Aizel is proud to be the first project ever to bring COA to life, showcasing the power of our innovative technology to realize COA's vision and transform how AI interacts with blockchain.\nHere\u2019s why COA is essential and how Aizel\u2019s technology makes it a reality, benefiting the Avalanche ecosystem:\n- First Trustless AI Model Execution on Avalanche: COA introduces the ability to run AI models fully on-chain, removing the need for off-chain, blackbox AI executions. This means that every AI action and decision made within dApps is fully transparent and verifiable. Aizel\u2019s breakthrough technology makes this possible by developing the infrastructure that allows autonomous AI models to operate in a decentralized manner, ensuring trust and eliminating security risks. This innovation is critical for building trustless AI applications on Avalanche, which will drive both developer interest and user adoption.\n- Coin-Operated Mechanism for AI Access: One of the most exciting innovations of COA is its coin-operated model, where users can pay for AI-powered services using Avalanche tokens. This offers a new revenue stream for developers building AI-driven dApps while giving users easy access to powerful AI tools in a way that fits naturally into blockchain ecosystems. Aizel is leading the way in developing this tokenized interaction model, unlocking potential for new business models in AI marketplaces and Web3 applications.\n- Making AI Accessible for Developers on Avalanche: Aizel\u2019s COA solution is designed to lower the barrier for AI-enhanced dApp development by offering easy-to-use APIs and seamless AI integration tools. Developers no longer need to build complex AI systems from scratch or rely on centralized AI providers. By leveraging Avalanche\u2019s high-performance infrastructure, Aizel is enabling developers to deploy AI-powered applications in a cost-efficient and scalable manner, thus fueling further growth of the ecosystem.\n- Real-World Use Cases and Consumer Applications: While COA is an infrastructure breakthrough, Aizel is committed to driving real-world adoption through AI-powered consumer applications. From DeFi protocols that make intelligent decisions to AI-enhanced NFTs and gaming applications, COA can create more engaging and personalized user experiences. This will bring Web2 users into the Avalanche ecosystem and expand its reach by enabling applications that feel familiar, yet are powered by on-chain AI. Aizel\u2019s COA platform will thus play a pivotal role in bridging Web2 and Web3.\n- Strategic Importance for Avalanche\u2019s Future: COA has the potential to serve as a key differentiator for the Avalanche network in the rapidly growing field of AI integration with blockchain. By pioneering trustless AI models, Aizel is positioning Avalanche as a leader in this space, opening the door to new types of decentralized applications that can harness AI\u2019s full potential in a secure, transparent, and auditable way. This is in line with Avalanche\u2019s long-term vision of being the leading blockchain for innovative Web3 applications.\nIn conclusion, by implementing COA, Aizel is directly contributing to the growth and evolution of the Avalanche ecosystem.

Aizel is an end-to-end on-chain verifiable AI inference infrastructure that empowers blockchain users or dapps (smart contracts) to use any trustless AI abilities. On Aizel, dapps and users who need to use trustless AI for all kinds of scenarios, including gaming, social, DeFi, etc., can all directly plug into Aizel and receive the verifiable AI inference produced in Aizel with a no-code level of setup.\n\nAizel persists in pre-trained machine learning models in a distributed and scalable architecture, produces and attests AI inference in a decentralized and trustless manner, combining the approach of TEE + MPC, and modularizes this verifiable inference ability to the Avax networks. Benefited from the highly scalable and top-speed remote attestation system the team develops, Aizel can attest to large models directly on-chain, meaning not only conventional AI models but also large models with billions of hyper-parameters can be provided with total trustless capacity for on-chain usage. In such a way, Aizel can massively elevate the ceiling for on-chain AI. \n\nCurrently, Aizel is the only project in the space that can execute trustless LLM/large models.
