OpenGradient launches Nova Testnet: Ushering in the era of 'Intelligent Block Space' While AI x Crypto is still debating decentralized computing power, OpenGradient @OpenGradient has already turned AI into a native on-chain asset. The launch of Nova Testnet marks the evolution of blockchain from 'storing data' and 'running code' to a stage where it can think. ■ Core Narrative: The evolution of block space Era 1 (2009): Move Numbers (Bitcoin) —— Value transfer Era 2 (2015): Move Logic (Ethereum) —— Smart contract logic Era 3 (2025): Move Meaning (OpenGradient) —— Transactions, predictions, and proofs share the same Merkle root, eliminating the need for Oracles or trusted black-box APIs ■ OpenGradient @OpenGradient Architecture: H-EVM and PIPE OpenGradient isn’t just launching a chain; it’s reconstructing the computation layer: H-EVM: Allows Solidity smart contracts to directly call AI model inference, with the inference process atomized alongside transaction execution PIPE (Parallel Inference Pre-Execution): To avoid block production delays, Nova adopts the Park-Detect-Fanout mechanism AI tasks are distributed to dedicated inference nodes for parallel computation, with results returned alongside ZK or TEE proofs, and finally integrated into blocks by the mainnet consensus layer ✅ Result: AI inference latency is compressed, and large model tasks won’t slow down the entire network ■ OpenGradient @OpenGradient Testnet Experience Network Name: OpenGradient Testnet RPC URL: https://eth-devnet.opengradient.ai Chain ID: 10744 Faucet: http://faucet.opengradient.ai Claim test tokens and start interacting with the testnet!
