Sensor AI’s architecture is designed to ensure decentralization, security, and scalability while maintaining usability. The system consists of three primary layers:
1. Blockchain Layer (Ethereum)
Role: Manages transactions, governance, and platform logic via smart contracts. $SENSE Token (ERC-20): Used for payments, staking, and governance. Smart Contracts: Handle annotation rewards, dataset marketplace transactions, and voting mechanisms. Gas Optimization: Implements batch transactions and layer-2 solutions (e.g., Polygon) to reduce costs. 2. Storage Layer (IPFS & Filecoin)
Role: Stores datasets and annotations off-chain while ensuring immutability. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System): Decentralized storage for raw images and labeled datasets. Filecoin Integration: Optional long-term, incentivized storage. On-Chain References: Each dataset’s IPFS hash is recorded on Ethereum for verification. 3. Compute Layer (Decentralized AI Training)
Role: Provides distributed computational power for model training. Golem/iExec Integration: Leverages decentralized GPU/CPU networks for cost-efficient training. Task Coordination: Smart contracts assign jobs and release $SENSE payments upon completion. Privacy: Data remains encrypted during processing (secure enclaves where possible).
