🧠💥 XXXXX AI nodes. No tokens. No airdrops.
Just pure momentum.

Ritual’s Infernet is quietly becoming the decentralized alternative to OpenAI & co.
Let’s break down what’s happening - and why it matters. 👇

1/ Most AI today = cloud-based, centralized, and closed.

You ask ChatGPT something.
➤ Your request goes to OpenAI’s servers.
➤ They run the model.
➤ You get a reply.
Fast, yes - but XXX% under someone else's control.

2/ Now imagine this instead:
You send a smart contract call onchain.
🔁 It pings a decentralized network of GPU/TEE nodes.
⚙️ One of them runs the model.
🔒 Another one proves it was done correctly.
🧾 The answer lands right back in your smart contract.

3/ That’s Infernet.
A decentralized inference network - built by @ritualnet -  designed to bring AI directly into Web3.
Think of it as Chainlink, but for AI.
And here’s the kicker 👇

4/ There are now over XXXXX active nodes running Infernet.

✅ No token incentives
✅ No staking required
✅ No paid marketing
Just open source, curiosity, and early builders spinning up nodes to experiment.

5/ Why does that matter?
→ Resilience: no single point of failure
→ Censorship resistance: no backdoors or API bans
→ Redundancy: models run on multiple nodes
→ Specialization: nodes with GPU, TEE, ZK - each does what it’s best at
That’s how real decentralization looks.

6/And this is just the start.
Infernet is the first layer of a bigger stack:

🔮 Ritual Chain -  a new L1 designed for AI & compute
🔁 Resonance - an AI-native gas market
🤖 Agents - smart, self-improving onchain bots
(More on that soon)

7/ TL;DR:

While everyone’s chasing the next AI token, Ritual is quietly building the infrastructure that actually makes AI decentralized.

And 8,000+ nodes are already proving it’s working.

Follow @ritualnet & stay tuned - testnet szn is coming. 🔥
