The integration of Artificial Intelligence into Web3 is no longer a futuristic concept but a rapidly developing reality in May 2025. For AI to truly flourish in a decentralized environment, it requires trusted logic, accessible computing power, and rich data sources. Three projects—Oraichain, Pinlink, and RSS3—are delivering these essential components, forming a vital trifecta for the AI-powered Web3.
Oraichain serves as the bedrock for trustworthy AI in this new paradigm. As the world’s first AI Layer 1 and oracle provider, Oraichain ensures that AI models and their outputs are verifiable on-chain. This is paramount for DApps that rely on AI for critical functions, from DeFi to complex data analytics. Oraichain’s comprehensive AI ecosystem, including its AI Marketplace and tools for verifiable computation, allows developers to build with confidence, knowing the AI logic is secure and auditable. The ORAI token is central to accessing these AI services and participating in network consensus.
The immense computational demands of AI are addressed by Pinlink, which democratizes access to physical hardware. Through its innovative RWA (Real-World Asset) tokenization model for DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), Pinlink enables owners of GPUs and other compute resources to offer them to AI developers. This significantly lowers the cost of AI development and makes high-performance computing more accessible via its Pinnacle marketplace, where the PIN token facilitates transactions and incentivizes participation. It’s a crucial step in ensuring that AI innovation isn’t limited by access to expensive, centralized hardware.
Completing this trifecta, RSS3 provides the essential “fuel” for AI: open and structured information. As an Open Information Layer, RSS3 indexes and distributes vast amounts of data from across the Open Web, making it readily available for training AI models, powering decentralized social media, and enabling advanced search capabilities. By fostering a transparent and interoperable data landscape with its native RSS3 token for network operations, it ensures that AI development in Web3 can draw from diverse and ethically sourced information, leading to more robust and unbiased AI systems.
Together, Oraichain’s verifiable intelligence, Pinlink’s accessible compute, and RSS3’s open data are not just individual breakthroughs but key enablers of a truly AI-driven and decentralized future.
