The RSS3 ecosystem is preparing for a major upgrade by integrating NEAR Protocol's Data Availability (DA) layer to boost performance and scale for its artificial intelligence-focused decentralized applications (DApps). This partnership aims to advance the AI capabilities of RSS3's decentralized ecosystem, including autonomous finance apps and on-chain AI content generation.

RSS3 is an open blockchain platform prioritizing artificial intelligence and social media use cases. Its dual-layer architecture includes the Value Sublayer (VSL) designed specifically for developing AI DApps. However, handling the immense data requirements of training AI models presents scaling challenges.

NEAR Protocol offers a high-throughput blockchain environment well-suited for data-intensive AI workloads. Its DA layer provides ample capacity of up to 4 megabytes per transaction to store and replicate large data blobs across the network. Integrating this scalable data availability solution with RSS3's AI-centric VSL unlocks higher performance for DApps hosted on the RSS3 ecosystem.

The partnership comes as RSS3 gears up for its Mainnet Beta launch, which will debut the full capabilities of its decentralized node infrastructure. This major network upgrade will unleash optimized frameworks and tools tailored for creators building AI-powered DApps on RSS3's platform.

A key goal is reducing reliance on centralized AI services by fostering an open, accessible Web3 ecosystem for AI development and deployments. Decentralizing AI applications aligns with core blockchain principles of transparency and distributing computational resources across a broad network rather than consolidated control points.

"Collaborating with NEAR allows us to leverage their highly scalable data availability solution to meet the intense storage and bandwidth demands of advanced AI workloads," stated Albert, Senior Technical Lead at RSS3. "This integration paves the way for a high-performance, open environment empowering developers to build diversified AI DApps outside the walled gardens of Big Tech AI."

Altan Tutar, Senior Technology Business Development at NEAR Protocol, commented: "We're thrilled to provide our Data Availability solution to RSS3 as they build decentralized infrastructure for open-source AI development. Bringing scalable blockchain data capabilities to their AI-focused ecosystem is a vital step towards enabling truly open and autonomous AI applications."

The synergy between RSS3's focus on decentralized social computing integrated with NEAR's scalable blockchain stack positions this partnership as a significant milestone towards realizing the full potential of Web3 artificial intelligence. As AI capabilities rapidly evolve, ensuring open and decentralized deployments becomes paramount to prevent monopolistic control over this transformative technology.
