Heurist.ai Overview

Core Offering​

Heurist AI is a decentralized ZK Layer-2 protocol for AI model hosting and inference, built to democratize AI access through distributed GPU resources. Founded in 2023, it functions as the "HuggingFace of Web3" with:

  • Decentralized AI inference API
  • GPU resource marketplace
  • Tokenized incentives system (HEU)
  • Blockchain-native model registry

ElizaOS Integration​

  • Direct REST API integration for agent access to model catalog
  • elizaos-heurist plugin enabling dynamic model selection
  • Collaborative "bribe mechanism" staking for model prioritization
  • Used for agent decision-making, image generation, and privacy-preserving verification

Recent Milestones​

  • Q1 2025: HEU token launch reaching $5.5M market cap
  • March 2025: Partnership with Exabits to tokenize 4,000+ GPUs
  • April 2025: Integration with ElizaOS's Auto.fun
  • Roadmap: 100+ AI models by Q3 2025, 10,000 mining nodes by EOY

Market Positioning​

Differentiators from centralized platforms and Web3 competitors:

  • Micro-transaction pricing via HEU token vs. subscription models
  • Permissionless operation vs. content restrictions
  • Global DePIN network vs. centralized computing

Key partners: Exabits (GPU infrastructure), GenLayer (AI smart contracts), Space and Time (ZK data oracles)
