MultiversX is a complete rethinking of public blockchain infrastructure, specifically designed to be secure, efficient, scalable and interoperable. MultiversX’s main contribution rests on two cornerstone building blocks: 1) A genuine Adaptive State Sharding approach: effectively partitioning the chain state into multiple shards, handled in parallel by different participating validators; 2) Secure Proof of Stake consensus mechanism: an improved variation of Proof of Stake (PoS) that ensures long term security and distributed fairness, while eliminating the need for energy intensive PoW algorithms.
Our technology is aimed at developers, wide public and enterprises. Developers can use it to create decentralised applications and run smart contracts on our blockchain network. The wide public can use MultiversX as a user-friendly gateway to the digital economy. MultiversX is also attractive for businesses seeking an enterprise solution that can lower (human capital based) costs with benefits such as speed, security and scalability.

Raven is creating a network of compute nodes that utilize idle compute power for the purposes of AI training where speed is the key. AI companies will be able to train models better and faster.
We developed a completely new approach to distribution that speeds up a training run of 1M images and brings it down to a few hours. We solve latency by chunking the data into really small pieces (bytes), maintaining its identity, and then distributing it across the host of devices with a call to action: gradient calculations.
Other solutions require high-end compute power. Our approach has no dependency on the system specs of each compute node in the network. Thus, we can utilize idle computer power on normal desktops, laptops, and mobile devices allowing anyone in the world to contribute to the Raven Protocol network. This will bring costs down to a fraction of what you need to pay for traditional cloud services. Most importantly, this means Raven will create the first truly distributed and scalable solution to AI training by speeding up the training process.
Our consensus mechanism is something we call Proof-of-Calculation. Proof-of-Calculation will be the primary guideline for the regulation and distribution of incentives to the compute nodes in the network. Following are the two prime deciders for the incentive distribution:
Speed: Depending upon how fast a node can perform gradient calculations (in a neural network) and return it back to the Gradient Collector.
Redundancy: The 3 fastest redundant calculation will only qualify for receiving the incentive. This will make sure that the gradients that are getting returned are genuine and of the highest quality.
