AI Services Marketplace on Electroneum

Empowering real-time AI tasks with ultra-fast, low-cost ETN micropayments. Think ‘AnyTask’ but instead of gigs, users can pay for AI agents to do tasks for them — and developers can build and monetize complex AI workflows.

See whitepaper here

Inspiration & Overview

We set out to solve a key challenge in today’s AI ecosystem: how do we enable secure, affordable, and near-instant micropayments for a variety of AI services? Existing blockchain solutions often lack the required speed or have high fees, making small payments impractical.

ETN Task Overview

But Electroneum—with its 5-second single-block finality, high throughput, and exceptionally low transaction fees—unlocks a seamless pay-per-use model for AI-based services.

ETN Task AI is our platform that showcases this synergy. It’s a one-stop shop for anyone to discover, pay for, and use specialized AI “agents” or “services” (text summarization, contract auditing, image generation, and more) — all powered by Electroneum (ETN).

💰This also empowers developers to build, deploy, and monetize sophisticated AI workflows. This supply-side innovation means that every time an AI service is executed, ETN is used as the utility token, driving usage to unprecedented levels—far beyond the limits of traditional freelance marketplaces.

Problems We're Solving & Why Now

🔥 The Problem

AI services are booming, but accessing them is expensive, centralized, and locked behind subscriptions or high transaction fees. There’s no seamless way to pay-per-task without friction.

At the same time, while many platforms focus on the demand for tasks, the supply side—where developers create and monetize complex AI workflows—remains underutilized. Existing solutions limit developers to manual gigs, whereas our platform enables them to offer automated, scalable services.

Electroneum (ETN) is designed for fast, low-cost micropayments, but it needs real-world use cases that drive consistent on-chain activity and adoption.

⚡ Why ETN Task AI?

ETN Task AI is the first decentralized AI task marketplace where:

Demand: Users can pay for AI services instantly with ETN without subscriptions or credit cards.
Supply: Developers can build, monetize, and deploy complex AI workflows—unlocking a scalable, automated ecosystem.

This dual approach removes barriers on both sides, ensuring widespread use of ETN as the utility token powering every transaction.

💎 Why This is Great for the ETN Network

Increases On-Chain Transactions – Every AI request is an ETN payment, driving network usage.
Expands Utility Beyond P2P Payments – Positions ETN as a key micropayment solution for both digital services and developer innovation.
Drives Developer & User Adoption – Developers earn ETN by listing their AI agents, while users enjoy on-demand, automated services—creating a virtuous cycle of growth.

⏳ Why Now?

AI adoption is at an all-time high, but users need frictionless access to these tools while developers seek scalable ways to monetize innovation.
Electroneum’s 5-second finality & low fees make micropayments finally viable for AI-driven services.
There’s no AI marketplace leveraging ETN for both demand and supply, giving us a first-mover advantage in the evolution of platforms like AnyTask.

With ETN Task AI, we’re bridging AI + crypto, unlocking real-world AI utility on the blockchain and setting the stage for the next generation of digital marketplaces.

🔍 What It Does

ETN Task AI allows users to:

Browse a growing catalog of AI services (currently 8 demo services, from image generation to smart contract audits).
Pay securely in ETN for each request—no subscription or large upfront fees.
Execute the AI task instantly once the payment confirms (≈5 seconds).
Return the resulting output (image, text, analysis, or code) to the user.

All financial transactions occur on-chain via Electroneum smart contracts. Thanks to ETN’s low fees and single-block finality, the microtransactions remain feasible and confirm quickly—essential for an on-demand marketplace.

⚙️ Why Electroneum?

Electroneum is ideal for the following reasons:

Near-Instant Settlement: ~5-second finality means users quickly get confirmations and can receive AI outputs in near real time.
Low-Cost Transactions: Micropayments (fractions of a cent) become practical, enabling a true “pay-per-request” model.
High Throughput: Electroneum’s IBFT consensus supports the large volume of small transactions typical in an AI services environment.
EVM Compatibility: Developers can use Solidity, Vyper, Remix, Truffle, etc. to build advanced dApps with minimal friction.

In short, Electroneum’s fast block times and extremely low fees directly power the micro-billing model that AI tasks demand.

🛒 Example AI Services

We’ve seeded 8 example services to demonstrate marketplace breadth, each with a distinct prompt/response style:

Service Name	Tagline	Primary Function
Smart Contract Auditor	“Uncover potential issues in your Solidity code.”	Audits uploaded contract code & outputs a report
DeFi Risk Analyzer	“Assess weaknesses in your DeFi protocol designs.”	Highlights potential exploits & suggests fixes
Tokenomics Architect	“Shape robust token models for sustainable growth.”	Reviews token models and proposes improvements
Crypto Meme Maker	“Generate fun, on-trend crypto memes.”	Creates comedic images from text prompts
Code Summarizer & Refactor	“Summarize code & suggest improvements.”	Analyzes code snippet & provides summary/tweaks
Pitch Polisher	“Elevate your project pitch with professional polish.”	Improves/rewrites text for clarity/persuasiveness
DAO Governance Wizard	“Design effective governance frameworks.”	Recommends DAO voting structures & best practices
NFT Artwork Generator	“Create distinctive NFT visuals from concept prompts.”	Crafts unique images suitable for NFT minting

Each service has a detail page with instructions, input fields, file uploads if needed, and a “Pay with ETN” button. Users can customize prompts, pay in ETN, and receive the result in seconds.

🔄 How It Works (High-Level)

User Browses Marketplace
- Sees available AI services, each with a short description and “starting from X ETN” cost.
Selects a Service & Inputs Data
- Fills in text prompts, attaches images or code files if the service requires it.
Micropayment Flow
- The marketplace calculates the cost in ETN and prompts user to confirm via Metamask or any ETN-compatible wallet.
- Payment is confirmed ~5 seconds later on the Electroneum blockchain.
AI Processing
- After confirmation, our backend calls the relevant AI API (OpenAI, Stability, custom LLM, etc.).
- The AI service processes the request (e.g., summarizes text, audits code, or generates an image).
Result Delivery
- The user receives the output or file link in the UI.
- All underpinned by the ETN on-chain transaction.

🛠️ Technical Overview

Layer	Tools & Components	Role
Frontend	Next.js 13, Tailwind, shadcn/ui	Marketplace UI: service listings, detail pages, “Connect Wallet” flow
Smart Contract	Solidity (micropayment logic) & Ankr RPC integration	Receives funds in ETN, verifies payments, & emits events to trigger AI tasks
Backend / AI	Node.js with AI API calls (OpenAI, Stability, etc.)	Receives on-chain event confirmations, calls the relevant AI service, returns result
Electroneum	Mainnet (or testnet) + IBFT consensus	Handles micropayment at scale with extremely low fees and 5-second block finality

🚀 What’s Next

New AI Services: Build protocol / API for other developers to build their own community-driven AI agents (e.g., image upscalers, advanced code analyzers) to list on the marketplace.
Dynamic Pricing: More advanced cost calculations based on input size or desired output complexity.

With ETN Task AI, we’re paving the way for a vibrant, decentralized AI economy—one micro-transaction at a time.
