ValidNet is a decentralized AI validation network designed to address the "AI Hallucination" problem. It utilizes a decentralized network of nodes to verify AI-generated content, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of information. By moving validation on-chain, it creates a trustless verification layer for AI outputs, bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and blockchain technology to improve data integrity.

ValidNet is a hybrid ecosystem that combines AI validation with DeFi incentives. While its core mission focuses on AI verification using "Memory Anchors," it also operates as an over-collateralized liquid staking protocol. This dual-natured approach allows the project to provide essential infrastructure for AI compute verification while offering a robust financial framework for protocol participants and stakers.

ValidNet is not a standalone Layer 1 blockchain. It is a decentralized application (dApp) and protocol currently deployed across the Ethereum (ERC-20) and TON (The Open Network) ecosystems. This cross-chain presence allows it to leverage the security of Ethereum while utilizing the growing ecosystem and speed of the TON network for its validation tasks and token distribution.

Memory Anchors are on-chain templates that define the rules for AI validation. Users can create, trade, and monetize these templates, earning fees whenever their Anchor is used to verify a task. The network secures these tasks through Proof-of-Validation (PoV). In this consensus mechanism, multiple independent nodes must reach the same conclusion about an AI's output before the data is recorded on-chain, ensuring high-fidelity results.

$VAT is the core utility token used for staking, governance, and payments within the ecosystem. To participate in validation and earn rewards, users must stake $VAT. Following a "veTokenomics" model, users can lock their tokens to receive veVAT (vote-escrowed VAT), which represents non-transferable voting power and eligibility for boosted rewards. However, the protocol includes "slashing" risks, where malicious or consistently incorrect nodes may lose a portion of their staked assets.

Participation is accessible via "lightweight" nodes that can run on standard desktops or through Docker, requiring no specialized AI hardware. Users can acquire the token on leading decentralized exchanges (DEXs) across supported chains. For security, the protocol is subject to audits by reputable industry firms. Participants are encouraged to use compatible wallets and consult official documentation for airdrop eligibility and the latest security reports to ensure safe interaction with the protocol.
