Welcome to The Fren Zone.
This week, our host Mason sat down with Dylan Zhang from Pond. Pond is a crypto-native AI model platform that enables developers to collaboratively create, own, and monetize blockchain-specific AI models by leveraging on-chain data.
Topics Discussed:
- Focusing on on-chain models for trading, risk assessment, and wallet profiling.
- Enabling developers to own, monetize, and improve hosted models using open blockchain data.
- Running competitions, including collaborations with Vitalik, to advance public goods funding and blockchain analytics.
- Addressing the cost of fully on-chain models by optimizing decentralization and efficiency.
- Exploring DeFi, tokenized assets, and AI integrations without becoming a blockchain itself.
- Supporting decentralized, competition-based model development like Kaggle while preserving developer ownership.
