Project Summary
Adafel is an IPC subnet that aims to revolutionize the smart contract ecosystem by integrating advanced onchain machine learning capabilities. Currently, the smart contract logic is pretty much hard-coded and operates in a sandboxed environment which leaves out very little scope for automation and risk aversion in case of external threat.
By introducing wasm precompiles to handle heavy ML computations within the smart contract environment, Adafel seeks to enhance automation and unlock new potential for decentralized applications. This project addresses the need for more intelligent and autonomous smart contracts that can process complex data and make informed decisions in real time.
Project architecture -
We will create wasm precompiles for the following ML algorithms to be used directly within smart contracts -
Impact
Adafel addresses key pain points in the current smart contract ecosystem, such as the lack of robust, onchain machine learning capabilities and the difficulty of performing heavy computational tasks within smart contracts. The benefits of this project include improved efficiency and functionality of smart contracts, enabling more sophisticated applications in various fields, including finance, healthcare, and supply chain management. Failure to implement such solutions could limit the potential of smart contracts, keeping them confined to relatively simple tasks. Success for Adafel would mean widespread adoption of its ML in smart contracts, significantly advancing the capabilities of the decentralized web.
How Adafel Benefits the Filecoin Ecosystem
Improving the Storage Deal-Making Process: Adafel can enhance the automation and intelligence of storage deal-making on the Filecoin network. By leveraging ML models, Adafel can optimize pricing strategies, predict demand, and recommend optimal storage deals, thereby streamlining the process for both providers and consumers.
Storage Provider and Consumer Matchmaking Engine: Adafel can serve as a sophisticated matchmaking engine that intelligently pairs storage providers with consumers based on criteria such as data requirements, storage capacity, and reliability. This enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of storage deals within the Filecoin network.
DeFi Automation: Adafel can bring advanced automation to decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the Filecoin network. By integrating ML algorithms, Adafel can automate complex financial operations such as lending, borrowing, and trading, leading to more efficient and profitable DeFi ecosystems.
Intelligence Layer for Filecoin: Adafel can act as the intelligence layer for the Filecoin network by leveraging the data storage and compute engines on Filecoin to serve the wider Filecoin and IPC ecosystem.
Outcomes
The project will deliver a fully operational IPC subnet capable of handling ML tasks within the smart contract environment. This includes the development of precompiles for ML computations, integration with existing smart contract platforms, and extensive documentation to support developers. Key deliverables include:
Adoption, Reach, and Growth Strategies
The target audience for Adafel includes blockchain developers, data scientists, and organizations seeking to leverage advanced ML capabilities in their smart contracts. Initially, engagement will focus on the existing developer community through forums, webinars, and hackathons. To onboard new users, we will provide extensive documentation, easy-to-use tools, and direct support channels. Our growth strategy involves partnerships with projects building in the Filecoin ecosystem and continuous community engagement through events and feedback loops.
