Solana Becomes the First Layer 1 Blockchain to Integrate AI with ChatGPT
The Solana Foundation integrates AI with the Solana blockchain, making it the first Layer 1 blockchain to do so through a ChatGPT plugin developed by Solana Labs.
The ChatGPT plugin, available on Github, serves as a reference for understanding Solana data, protocols, computing infrastructure, and DeFi projects.
The plugin enables users to buy NFTs, transfer tokens, inspect transactions, interpret account data, and find NFT collections by price.
Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana co-founder and CEO, emphasizes the importance of AI in consumer-oriented app development and its impact on Solana's usability.
Solana's speed, low costs, and ease of use make it an ideal environment for efficient AI model interaction within web3.
The Solana Foundation expands its AI-focused grants program to allocate up to $10 million.
The foundation also launches a 3-month accelerator program for university students exploring blockchain and AI integration, like the Ask Solana U chatbot and Solana Audits AI.
