Technical Architecture
A breakdown of the layered components that power GrantChain’s AI-native infrastructure.
GrantChain is built as a modular, AI-first execution layer — purpose-designed to integrate intelligence directly into the core of the chain.
Here’s how the stack is composed:
🔻 1. Base Layer: Solana
GrantChain uses Solana as its high-performance, low-latency settlement layer.
Why Solana?
Sub-second finality
Low fees
Proven throughput
Massive developer ecosystem
🔁 2. GrantChain Layer 2
The actual GrantChain protocol runs as a Layer 2 rollup optimized for AI compute.
Features include:
Custom rollup architecture
Native zkML proof support
Model & agent state separation
⚙️ 3. AI Execution Engine
A custom WASM-based runtime that:
Executes AI models inside contracts or agents
Interfaces with uploaded model files (e.g., LLMs, predictors)
Emits zkML proofs for every inference (optional)
This lets you run models like predict_risk() or summarize_vote() inside smart contracts — verifiably.
🧠 4. Model Storage Layer
AI models are stored via:
IPFS or Arweave for large model files
On-chain metadata registry for versions, ownership, and licensing
Optional zk commitments for deterministic verification
🛠 5. Autonomous Agent SDK
GrantChain includes a built-in SDK for:
Defining agents with mission-based logic
Binding agents to models via on-chain registry
Managing autonomous updates, upgrades, and treasury access
This makes launching autonomous agents as easy as deploying a smart contract.
🗳 6. Governance Layer (DAO + AI Copilot)
Governance is handled via:
DAO-style token voting with $GRANT
AI Copilot that suggests proposals based on protocol data
zkML-simulated impact modeling (coming Q4 2025)
🧬 Component Overview
