Website and Domain Updates
In the past two months, we made significant strides in enhancing our digital presence and aligning it with our strategic vision. Key highlights include:

Website Launch and Expansion: Alongside the release of our web application, we successfully launched our comprehensive website. This platform serves as a hub for our users to access information, updates, and tools related to our project.

Domain Name Transition: After thoughtful deliberations with our advisory team and in line with our forthcoming marketing and Go-To-Market (G2M) strategy, we decided to transition our domain from ‘baitoken.dev’ to ‘blockai.dev’. This change reflects our broader focus and commitment to the integration of blockchain technology and AI.

New Website and Application Access Points:

  • Main Website: Our updated website is now accessible at https://blockai.dev. Here, users can find comprehensive information about our project, latest news, and more.
  • Web Application: The web application has been transitioned to https://waves.blockai.dev, where users can engage directly with our tools and services.

Multichain Accessibility: In keeping with our vision for a multichain project, we are implementing a structure where each added blockchain will have its dedicated access point at ‘chain_name.blockai.dev’. This approach ensures seamless user experience and ease of navigation across different blockchain integrations.

We believe these changes will significantly enhance our user experience and align with our strategic goals for broader reach and impact in the AI and blockchain space.

Progress on EVM Integration for BAI

In our journey towards full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, significant advancements have been made in integrating BAI with EVM-based platforms. This month has been pivotal in this regard, with two key developments:

  • Development of the Main Smart Contract: Our team has been diligently working on the main smart contract, which is the cornerstone of our EVM integration. This smart contract is designed to leverage the robust capabilities of EVM, ensuring seamless interoperability and enhanced functionality for BAI.
  • Launch of the ERC20 Token on Polygon Testnet Mumbai: A major milestone was the deployment of our ERC20 token on the Polygon testnet Mumbai. This marks a critical step in our testing and development phase, allowing us to evaluate the token’s performance in a live EVM environment. The testnet phase is crucial for ensuring the stability and security of our token before its full-scale launch.

Access Details: Interested parties can view and interact with our token and the main contract on the Polygon testnet Mumbai. This provides a valuable opportunity for users and developers to experience our token’s functionalities firsthand and provide feedback.

These developments represent a significant leap forward in our mission to integrate BAI with EVM. They not only demonstrate our technical progress but also our commitment to creating a versatile and user-centric blockchain-AI ecosystem. We eagerly anticipate the next phases of implementation and invite our community to join us in this exciting journey.

Utilizing UUPS Proxy for Enhanced Flexibility and Upgradability

In our commitment to maintaining a high degree of flexibility and ensuring continuous improvement in our platform, we have adopted the UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard) proxy pattern for our smart contract architecture. This strategic choice mirrors our approach in the Waves version and offers several key advantages:

  • Flexibility and Upgradability: By implementing the UUPS proxy, we ensure that our contracts remain adaptable to future changes and enhancements. This aligns with our ethos of staying at the forefront of technological advancements and responding promptly to the evolving needs of our users.
  • Consistency Across Platforms: Utilizing the UUPS proxy both in our EVM integration and the Waves version ensures a consistent and coherent framework for upgrades across different blockchain environments. This consistency is crucial for maintaining a unified user experience and operational efficiency.
  • Security and Efficiency: The UUPS proxy pattern is renowned for its security and efficiency in managing upgrades. This approach reduces the risks associated with contract upgrades and ensures that our platform remains secure and reliable for our users.

Our adoption of the UUPS proxy is a testament to our dedication to creating a sustainable, future-proof blockchain-AI ecosystem. We believe that this approach will greatly benefit our users and stakeholders, offering a platform that is not only robust and secure but also adaptable to the ever-changing landscape of blockchain technology.

Deployment on Polygon and Enhanced Web Client Functionality

We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our services with the successful deployment of our platform on the Polygon network. This significant advancement complements our existing Waves-based services, marking a new chapter in our project’s growth. Key updates include:

The introduction of the Polygon version underlines our commitment to providing versatile, high-quality services to our community. We are dedicated to continually evolving our platform, ensuring it remains at the forefront of blockchain and AI technology. We encourage our users to explore these new functionalities and share their valuable feedback.

Agent Framework Update:
Seamless Integration Across Blockchain Networks

In line with our recent front-end updates, we have made significant strides in enhancing our Agent Framework, ensuring it aligns with the evolving scope of our project. Key aspects of this update include:

  • Migration and Deployment for Polygon: We successfully migrated all the Agent Framework code from the Waves platform to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). This migration facilitates the support of all active features on the Polygon network, marking a significant technological advancement in our framework.
  • Independence in Agent Creation: A pivotal development in our Agent Framework is the ability to create concrete agents for various AI tasks independently of the blockchain network. This flexibility is a cornerstone in our design philosophy, allowing for the development of agents without constraints related to specific blockchain environments.
  • Universal Availability of Agents: Owing to this independent creation process, we can ensure that all agents will be available across all blockchain networks supported by BAI. This universal availability is crucial for maintaining a consistent and efficient service regardless of the chosen blockchain platform.

This update to the Agent Framework represents a major step forward in our commitment to delivering a robust, versatile, and user-friendly AI and blockchain experience. We are excited about the enhanced capabilities this brings to our platform and look forward to seeing how it will empower our users across different blockchain networks.

Launch of the BAI Agent API: Expanding Accessibility and User Convenience
