Term	Definition
LazAI	A decentralized AI infrastructure platform integrating verifiable AI data, models, and computation with blockchain, enabling a trustless, composable, and privacy-preserving AI economy.
iDAO	Individual-centric DAO: The native social structure of the AI economy. Ensure decentralized validation of data sources and AI workflows and enable LazAI flow to process the reward allocation
LazChain	The dedicated blockchain infrastructure of LazAI for managing AI assets, proofs, consensus, and rewards.
Alith	LazAI’s decentralized AI Agent Framework for building and deploying autonomous AI Agents.
DAT	Data Anchoring Token - A semi-fungible token standard that anchors datasets, models, and agents with verifiable provenance, access rights, and ownership.
DAT Marketplace	A decentralized trading and verification hub where AI assets (datasets, models, agents) are exchanged and validated.
POV Inlet (Point-of-View Inlet)	POV is a protocol and standard for data unification In LazAI. POV Inlet is a submission interface allowing individuals or iDAOs to inject human-annotated context or judgments into the AI validation pipeline.
Verified Computing	A modular system combining ZKPs, Optimistic Proofs, and TEE to ensure verifiable off-chain AI computation and inference.
ZK Proofs	Zero-Knowledge Proofs - Cryptographic proofs used to verify computation or data without revealing sensitive information.
Quorum	A decentralized validation group consisting of multiple iDAOs that reach consensus on dataset integrity, model validation, and proof verification.
Extension Layer	Allows LazAI to integrate external data sources, model providers, computing platforms, and oracle services.
Execution Layer	Supports high-throughput, low-latency AI inference and verifiable computation, including Parallel EVM Execution.
Settlement Layer	Handles the issuance, ownership, and lifecycle of AI assets, ensuring on-chain traceability and compliance.
Data Availability Layer	Ensures reliable access and verification for on-chain/off-chain datasets via IPFS, Arweave, Web2 APIs, etc.
DeFAI	Decentralized Financial AI - A LazAI-native DeFi module enabling staking, lending, bonding, and monetization of AI assets.
Optimistic Proofs (OP)	A lightweight validation mechanism assuming correctness by default, but allowing dispute via fraud proofs.
Fraud Proofs	A dispute mechanism where challengers submit evidence against invalid data or computation to trigger slashing or reward redistribution.
TEE	Trusted Execution Environment - Hardware-level secure enclave enabling verifiable and private AI execution.
AI Agent	A modular, autonomous agent powered by AI models, trained on verified datasets, and deployed via Alith.
