Ritual is the world's first community-owned AI network. Integrate AI models into your protocol, application or smart contract with a few lines of code.

It is an open, sovereign execution layer for AI. Seamlessly integrate AI into your app or protocol on any chain, enabling you to fine-tune, monetize, and perform inference on models with cryptographic schemes.
With Ritual, the vision is for developers to be able to build fully transparent DeFi, self-improving blockchains, autonomous agents, generated content, and more.

You can begin by using Infernet, which is a lightweight library bringing compute on-chain, enabling smart contract developers with a way to request computation to be done off-chain from Infernet Nodes and delivered to their consuming smart contracts on-chain via the Infernet SDK.

We’re a team of passionate builders that marries deep expertise across distributed systems, cryptography, and AI with a long-term commitment to the crypto space. We’ve helped build and invest in many household names in industry, and are excited to tackle this new frontier.
