<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="160.33984375"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Term</strong></td><td><strong>Definition</strong></td></tr><tr><td>LazAI</td><td>A decentralized AI infrastructure platform integrating verifiable AI data, models, and computation with blockchain, enabling a trustless, composable, and privacy-preserving AI economy.</td></tr><tr><td>iDAO</td><td>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</td></tr><tr><td>LazChain</td><td>The dedicated blockchain infrastructure of LazAI for managing AI assets, proofs, consensus, and rewards.</td></tr><tr><td>Alith</td><td>LazAI’s decentralized AI Agent Framework for building and deploying autonomous AI Agents.</td></tr><tr><td>DAT</td><td>Data Anchoring Token - A semi-fungible token standard that anchors datasets, models, and agents with verifiable provenance, access rights, and ownership.</td></tr><tr><td>DAT Marketplace</td><td>A decentralized trading and verification hub where AI assets (datasets, models, agents) are exchanged and validated.</td></tr><tr><td>POV Inlet (Point-of-View Inlet)</td><td>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.</td></tr><tr><td>Verified Computing</td><td>A modular system combining ZKPs, Optimistic Proofs, and TEE to ensure verifiable off-chain AI computation and inference.</td></tr><tr><td>ZK Proofs </td><td>Zero-Knowledge Proofs - Cryptographic proofs used to verify computation or data without revealing sensitive information.</td></tr><tr><td>Quorum</td><td>A decentralized validation group consisting of multiple iDAOs that reach consensus on dataset integrity, model validation, and proof verification.</td></tr><tr><td>Extension Layer</td><td>Allows LazAI to integrate external data sources, model providers, computing platforms, and oracle services.</td></tr><tr><td>Execution Layer</td><td>Supports high-throughput, low-latency AI inference and verifiable computation, including Parallel EVM Execution.</td></tr><tr><td>Settlement Layer</td><td>Handles the issuance, ownership, and lifecycle of AI assets, ensuring on-chain traceability and compliance.</td></tr><tr><td>Data Availability Layer</td><td>Ensures reliable access and verification for on-chain/off-chain datasets via IPFS, Arweave, Web2 APIs, etc.</td></tr><tr><td>DeFAI</td><td>Decentralized Financial AI - A LazAI-native DeFi module enabling staking, lending, bonding, and monetization of AI assets.</td></tr><tr><td>Optimistic Proofs (OP)</td><td>A lightweight validation mechanism assuming correctness by default, but allowing dispute via fraud proofs.</td></tr><tr><td>Fraud Proofs</td><td>A dispute mechanism where challengers submit evidence against invalid data or computation to trigger slashing or reward redistribution.</td></tr><tr><td>TEE</td><td>Trusted Execution Environment - Hardware-level secure enclave enabling verifiable and private AI execution.</td></tr><tr><td>AI Agent</td><td>A modular, autonomous agent powered by AI models, trained on verified datasets, and deployed via Alith.</td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lazai.network/whats-more/glossary.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
