Atoma Launches Private, Decentralized AI on Sui

December 12, 2024 – Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Demos fully private and decentralized AI chat app with performance on par with ChatGPT and Perplexity AI.

Sui, the layer-one blockchain that delivers unparalleled scalability and speed, and Atoma Network, a next-generation decentralized AI engine, today announced that Atoma’s fully decentralized AI layer, first announced earlier this year, is live on Sui’s mainnet.

The team also offered reporters a first glimpse into the potential of decentralized AI with a decentralized AI chat app – code-named ‘Utopia’ – built on Sui that enables users to have full ownership of their private data while still providing a user experience on par with centralized alternatives.

With its integration currently live in its alpha version on Sui’s mainnet, Atoma is actively expanding its decentralized ecosystem with new nodes and application builders.

For these developers, building on Atoma is an easy transition because Atoma’s API endpoints are directly analogous to those provided by the OpenAI API, which many of them are already familiar with.

Then, with Atoma, they can create personalized applications like chatbots connected to social media, finances or health applications that still maintain individuals’ control over their data.

One of the unique strengths of Atoma’s structure is that all of its AI processing occurs in secure areas within a processor – called ‘TEEs’ (trusted execution environments).

As a result, AI computations are isolated from the rest of the system, and AI inputs and outputs are fully private and beyond access by AI companies.

Unlike centralized AI applications like ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, where the companies that created the technology can associate inputs with individual accounts, Atoma protects users with complete privacy and censorship resistance.

At the same time, by leveraging one of the world’s fastest blockchains, Atoma can offer a user experience with speed and efficiency on par with the centralized versions.

While the AI chat app Atoma created as an initial demonstration represents one application of its technology, Atoma’s infrastructure empowers developers to create private AI agents that perform a multitude of tasks while protecting individual user data.

Because the private AI agents on Atoma can access and process personal information without exposing user data, they are ideal for applications that require personalization and…
