INFTs: Intelligent NFTs for AI
Traditional NFTs can't handle AI agents. When you "own" an AI agent NFT today, you only own a pointer to some metadata - not the actual intelligence. The AI doesn't transfer with the NFT.
What are INFTs?
INFTs (Intelligent Non-Fungible Tokens) solve this problem. They're a new type of NFT specifically designed to tokenize AI agents with their complete intelligence intact.
New to AI tokenization?
Traditional approach:
- NFT points to AI metadata stored somewhere
- When you buy the NFT, you don't get the actual AI
- The intelligence stays with the original creator
- You can't actually use the AI agent
INFT approach:
- NFT contains encrypted AI intelligence
- When transferred, the AI moves with it
- New owner gets full access to the AI agent
- Complete ownership of AI capabilities
Why INFTs Matter
True AI Ownership
Unlike regular NFTs that just point to metadata, INFTs contain the actual AI agent. When you own an INFT, you own the complete intelligence, not just a certificate.
Privacy-First Design
AI agents often contain sensitive data or proprietary algorithms. INFTs keep this data encrypted throughout the entire lifecycle - only the owner can access it.
Secure Transfers
When an INFT changes hands, both the ownership AND the encrypted AI intelligence transfer together. The new owner gets a fully functional AI agent.
Decentralized Storage
INFTs leverage 0G Storage to keep AI agents permanently available without relying on centralized servers that could go offline.
Real-World Use Cases
| Use Case | How INFTs Help | Example |
|---|---|---|
| AI Trading Bots | Own and transfer profitable trading strategies | DeFi trading bot with proven track record |
| Personal Assistants | Trained AI agents that know your preferences | AI that learned your workflow and habits |
| Game Characters | Intelligent NPCs with unique personalities | AI companion that evolved through gameplay |
| Content Creation | AI models trained for specific styles | AI artist trained on your creative style |
| Research Tools | Specialized AI for domain-specific tasks | Medical AI trained on specific datasets |
How It Works
- Create: Build and train your AI agent
- Encrypt: Secure the AI's intelligence with encryption
- Mint: Create an INFT containing the encrypted AI
- Own: Have complete ownership and control over the AI agent
Technical Foundation
INFTs are built on ERC-7857, a new NFT standard that extends ERC-721 with:
- Encrypted metadata storage for protecting AI intelligence
- Secure re-encryption for safe ownership transfers
- Oracle verification to ensure transfer integrity
- Authorized usage for AI-as-a-Service models
