AI + Prediction Markets

Autonolas is bringing autonomous agents to the OmenETH prediction markets platform on Gnosis Chain, creating a fully AI-powered market for long tail events. The Autonolas stack allows anyone to create decentralized autonomous agents.
What are autonomous agents? Autonomous agents are entities or systems that can operate independently and make decisions without direct human intervention. These agents are designed to perceive their environment, gather information, analyze it, and take appropriate actions to achieve specific goals or objectives. They are often implemented using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, including machine learning and natural language processing.
In May, Valory launched Autonolas’ first project on Gnosis Chain: AI Mechs w/ assistance from the GnosisDAO and Martin Koppelman. AI Mechs or, AI bots, provide access to AI tools like OpenAI and StabilityAI to users (primarily other bots) in a crypto-native way.
Valory’s mission is to enable communities, organizations and countries to co-own AI systems, beginning with decentralized autonomous agents.
The GnosisDAO, of course has a long association with prediction markets as one of the first use cases that it explored on Ethereum. Omen is a fully decentralized prediction market platform built on the Gnosis conditional token framework, an open standard for prediction markets. Users can create and/or participate in information markets on various topics (crypto, politics, sports, etc.) and stake their crypto on possible outcomes.
By pairing the Autonolas protocol and software stack with the OmenEth marketplace, Valory is creating a sandbox for AI prediction market innovation on Gnosis Chain.
Valory, Autonolas and Gnosis Chain have teamed up to host two upcoming hackathons.
Augment Hackathon
Take advantage of Gnosis Chain’s low network fees, and demonstrate the power of AI & crypto. Distributed labeling, training, model marketplaces, anything is possible. Be creative (don’t just build one more pay-for-GPT or AI transaction app). Bounty is $1500.
More info -> https://www.augmenthack.xyz/
Dates: July 18-19, 2023 Paris
Mech Powered Prediction Market Hackathon
The Autonolas stack allows developers to quickly iterate on existing agent templates, pushing the boundary of the possible. Developers are tasked with having their agents participate in real long-tail prediction markets. This hackathon is open to all, individuals or teams.
More info soon.
Dates: BUIDL weeks: 17th-31st July, 2023. Trading weeks: 1st-31st August, 2023.

✨ Solo Stakers on Gnosis Chain
Secured by a geographically diverse set of validators, Gnosis Chain is a community-owned, anti-fragile network. We track decentralization metrics closely on d14n.info and incentivize validators from underrepresented countries through the Gnosis Validator Incentive Program. Spin up validator infrastructure in a few clicks using custom hardware, DappNode, or any public cloud.
👉@gnosischain has a high number of solo-stakers!👈
— Gnosis Chain 🦉 (@gnosischain) July 7, 2023
We're forging a robust community of solo-stakers who are operating nodes directly from their homes.
In unity with solo-stakers across the globe, we constitute an essential part of an anti-fragile, resilient global network. https://t.co/as2JalqCJz

Fuji Finance integrated Gnosis Chain this week. With Fuji, you can deposit, borrow, repay, and withdraw a position from any supported chain. In addition, you can optimize your deposit rate and borrow rate. Because of their infrastructure, Fuji can also help to solve the liquidity fragmentation problem in DeFi.
We’re thrilled to kick off integrations with a variety of networks, protocols, and infrastructure, which is helping to make Fuji’s V2 a success.

🦦 Erigon's Updated Roadmap
Erigon is an implementation of Ethereum (execution layer with embeddable consensus layer), on the efficiency frontier. This week they released their updated roadmap for 2023, which of course includes support for Gnosis Chain. Erigon's support only further establishes that by using the same execution and consensus layer clients as Ethereum, Gnosis Chain is fully compatible with all future EIPs.
We have updated our roadmap for 2023:
— erigon.eth (@ErigonEth) July 8, 2023
- From two to one major upgrade of our Execution Layer which will be named Erigon 3 (previously Erigon 4)
- Introducing Caplin, our Consensus Layer that is designed to run as a single process with Erigon 3 or as separate process. pic.twitter.com/IZWdimcj5I
