Have you ever imagined an ecosystem where AI not only observes the blockchain from the outside but lives and breathes within each block?

That is what Ritual is building.

With $25M funding from Polychain and
Hack VC, Ritual is not an abstract concept ā€“ but an AI-native
infrastructure moving from testnet to mainnet in 2025.

šŸ”¹ The Core of Ritual

  • Infernet
    Production-ready. AI ā†” Smart contracts bridge, enabling direct
    on-chain inference.

  • Ritual Chain
    L1 optimized for AI, mainnet expected Q1ā€“Q3 2025.

  • EVM++ & Sidecars
    Extending EVM power for ML, LLM, and ZK proofs.

  • eVaults
    L1 primitive protecting AI data, allowing AI custody & privacy-first
    compute.

šŸ”¹ Why is Ritual Different?

While other L1s race for TPS, Ritual chooses the Expressive Compute direction ā€“ infrastructure for AI operations that can be verifiable & trustless.

Use cases are no longer theoretical:

  • DeFi protocol auto-tuning parameters using ML

  • Agent wallets auto-trading

  • On-chain prompt marketplace

  • Decentralized AI model evaluation

šŸ”¹ Ecosystem & Partnerships

Ritual is not building alone.

There is connection with:

  • EigenLayer ā€“ Restaked ETH ā†’ Ritual nodes

  • Celestia & Arweave ā€“ Storing AI proofs & models

  • Story Protocol, MyShell, Allora ā€“ IP & inference layer for generative AI

  • Arbitrum & Starknet ā€“ Multi-chain AI access

The community has exploded: 54K+ X followers, 55K Discord with programs like Zealot Ambassador and Ritual Realm nurturing AI-crypto builders.

šŸ”¹ 2025: The Year of Ritual

  • Mainnet launch.

  • AI model marketplace.

  • Public staking for Infernet nodes.

  • Network Calls allow smart contracts to query any Web2 API.

  • Ritual is entering the stage from concept ā†’ execution, opening the door to the truly on-chain AI era.

TL;DR:

Ritual = AI landing on the blockchain.

Mainnet 2025 will be when we witness Expressive Compute and Community-Driven
AI becoming reality.
