The blockchain-based federated learning platform FLock.io and Animoca Brands, a pioneer in Web3 development and digital property rights, have inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU). The collaboration intends to develop customized AI models to support Animoca Brands’ internal Web3 processes, utilizing FLock.io’s decentralized infrastructure. Through this partnership, Animoca’s metaverse ecosystem will receive AI-driven solutions that will improve data sovereignty, privacy, and operational effectiveness.
FLock.io combines federated learning with blockchain technology, allowing users to collaboratively train machine learning models while maintaining data privacy. With its unique platform, FLock.io enables AI model training without sharing raw data, protecting user privacy and data integrity. The platform’s AI Arena, FL Alliance, and AI Marketplace allow for secure, incentivized collaboration on model development. This setup not only enhances accuracy and security but also offers token-based rewards to participants, making AI development both collaborative and transparent.
In this collaboration, Animoca Brands will utilize FLock.io’s training protocol to develop four AI models focused on core operational areas: due diligence, investment, market-making, and support. This new approach will enable Animoca Brands to train models that uphold data sovereignty while strengthening its Web3 applications.
Animoca Brands’ co-founder and executive chairman, Yat Siu, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. He stated, “We look forward to collaborating with FLock.io to leverage its innovative federated learning platform to advance Web3 technologies while prioritizing user privacy and data sovereignty.” Siu added that this collaboration could integrate privacy-focused AI solutions into the metaverse, offering secure and decentralized applications for Web3 users.
Vincent Wang, CFO of FLock.io, also commented on the significance of the partnership, highlighting Animoca Brands’ leading role in the Web3 ecosystem. Wang remarked, “We are thrilled to enter into a MoU for this partnership and deploy four distinct training tasks on our platform.” He emphasized that FLock.io’s federated learning model would ensure that Animoca Brands’ data remains local, a priority for decentralized AI models.
By joining forces, FLock.io and Animoca Brands aim to push forward privacy-preserving AI capabilities in the metaverse. Their shared focus on data security, transparency, and community-driven development represents an exciting step in decentralized AI.
