 Deep Q-learning for on-chain execution test (DeepBrew: v1) is LIVE!

About us

We are a 7-year-old Web3 and digital asset research, technology, and engineering firm based in Sydney, London, and New York. Our machine learning protocol, Deeplink, allows blockchains to maintain On-chain Neural Networks (ONN) while introducing programmability, machine learning, and data science into blockchains. Other Ethereum or EVM-compatible chains and protocols can use on-chain neural networks and ONN agents to improve efficiency, on-chain execution capabilities, and security.

Why Deeplink?

When blockchains become more mainstream and complex, the underlining blockchain operation, efficiency, and infrastructure optimization will get more challenging. Blockchain ecosystems will be unable to keep up with the ever-changing demands of needs, meet greater efficiencies and reduce vulnerabilities without an advanced level of automation and the emergence of intelligence.

The current generation of money lego protocols (DeFi), smart-contract-native ecosystems, and dApps have brought us unprecedented levels of programmability and automation; the next wave will focus on intelligence as a core capability.

Deeplink wants to make blockchains smarter while maintaining decentralization and security. It will be the first of its kind, offering on-chain neural networks and dev-ops for many on-chain applications. With an SDK, developers can integrate powerful deep-learning tools on-chain into their smart contracts, providing the perks of deep learning without relying on centralized authority, and making their products smarter and safer.
