Web4.0 & Decentralized Intelligence

IOI is building the foundational infrastructure for Web4.0: the convergence of AI cognition and blockchain consensus.

The Web4.0 Stack

Moving beyond Web3's ownership layer to intelligence layer: AI agents that coordinate across chains, enforce policies, and generate verifiable proofs of computation.

  • AI-native protocols with blockchain consensus
  • Governed intelligence coordination
  • Verifiable AI outputs and receipts

Why It Matters

As AI systems become more autonomous and capable, we need infrastructure that provides governance, interoperability, and economic alignment at the protocol level.

  • No platform lock-in for AI operations
  • Transparent governance and audit trails
  • Economic incentives aligned with usage

Open Questions & Future Directions

IOI is exploring fundamental challenges in AI interoperability, governance, and decentralized intelligence. These are the questions driving our research.

AI Interoperability

Enabling seamless communication between AI agents across platforms, providers, and blockchains.

How can AI systems verify each other's outputs?
What semantic addressing schemes work at scale?
How do we handle version mismatches between agents?

Governed Intelligence

Applying policy, risk limits, and compliance boundaries to autonomous AI operations.

How do we encode regulatory requirements as protocol-level policies?
What's the right balance between automation and human oversight?
How can governance adapt to emerging AI capabilities?

Web4.0 Architecture

Designing the convergence layer where AI cognition meets blockchain consensus.

What primitives does Web4.0 infrastructure require?
How do economic incentives align in AI + blockchain systems?
What security models work for autonomous agent coordination?

Cross-Chain Coordination

Enabling AI operations that span multiple blockchain networks with different consensus mechanisms.

How do we create atomic operations across chains?
What proof formats work for heterogeneous ledgers?
How can AI optimize cross-chain routing in real-time?
