COAI is the utility token of ChainOpera’s decentralised AI stack spanning an agent super-app, developer platform, model/GPU layer and an AI-native protocol. The system uses Proof-of-Intelligence to verify and account for contributions across compute, models, data and agents, with privacy-preserving training and public attribution. COAI is used for service access, resource coordination, contribution accounting and governance, and sits within a roadmap toward an AI-focused Layer-1 chain.
ChainOpera AI (COAI) is the native utility token of ChainOpera, a decentralised AI stack combining:
AI Terminal & Agent Social Network for end-user access and agent distribution with on-chain attribution.
Agent Developer Platform with templates, SDKs and multi-agent frameworks.
Model & GPU Platform for decentralised training/serving and federated learning.
CoAI protocol layer providing verifiable coordination and accountability, with a stated path toward a native Layer-1 chain.
The network architecture centres on Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI), a consensus and coordination framework that measures “intelligence work” across roles (agents, models, GPUs, data and annotation), preserves privacy via federated approaches, and publishes contribution assessments and reputation on-chain.
COAI functions as a utility token to:
access premium features and developer tooling in the AI Terminal and Agent Social Network.
register and coordinate resources (compute, models, data) for discovery and usage.
record contribution credits and reputation tied to verifiable work.
participate in governance focused on technical standards and software roadmaps.
It also supports mechanisms described for service-quality assurance (e.g., provider staking) and aligns access with measured contributions under PoI.
ChainOpera was co-founded by Prof. Salman Avestimehr and Dr. Aiden (Chaoyang) He. Avestimehr is a professor at USC and directs the USC-Amazon Centre on Trustworthy AI. He has industry experience at major technology firms and co-created the FedML framework.
