Project PAI
Project PAI — a reference card for a crypto project: what the product does and how verifiable the project’s key claims are; also — alignment with the Decentralized AI thesis (DecAI Fit).
Project PAI — an L1/appchain project about Personal Artificial Intelligence (PAI): creating and managing “intelligent avatars” based on digital behavioral profiles.
Disclaimer
Important: this page is a reference overview of the project. Within DecAIHub, we separately record a verification based on open sources within the AI thesis (what is real AI/onchain/why a token, and which sources this is based on).
This is not financial advice and not a recommendation to buy/sell/hold any asset. We do not assess price, returns, or entry/exit timing.
Conclusions are based on publicly available materials found as of the verification date. The absence of confirmation does not imply the absence of the technology.
TL;DR (for readers who are not into AI)
- What it is: a blockchain platform for personal AI avatars (PAI) that, per the project’s claim, “speak/think/behave” like the user.
- Who it’s for: users and application developers who want to use PAI‑oriented scenarios.
- Why onchain/token: the project describes PAI Blockchain Protocol as infrastructure for PAI/data/applications; PAI Coin is described as a utility coin for participation/compensation and transactions in the ecosystem (dual currency: PAI coin + credits).
How it works (very briefly)
- The user does: creates/configures a PAI avatar and uses it in scenarios (assistant, social media, etc.).
- The system does: stores and manages the PAI state within the claimed “PAI blockchain protocol”.
- The user gets: a PAI avatar that can perform actions on behalf of the user (per the project’s claim).
- Where the blockchain is: management and storage of PAI on the PAIChain network; the network state is observable via the explorer.
- Token role: PAI Coin is used to compensate participants (including miners/authenticators) and as a means of payment/settlement in the ecosystem; max supply and issuance are described in the Tier‑1 FAQ/whitepaper.

General project overview
Project PAI states the goal of “Personal Artificial Intelligence”: creating personal intelligent avatars based on digital behavioral profiles. The project website describes examples of use (virtual assistant, social media, entertainment).
The project also describes “PAI blockchain protocol” as infrastructure where PAI are “stored” and interact with dApp. The network is observable via the public PAIChain explorer.
Features/modules
- PAI avatars (personal AI entities) as a product object.
- Blockchain protocol/network for managing PAI and integrating dApp (per the project’s claim).
- Public network explorer.
Typical scenarios
- Scenario 1: a user creates/uses a PAI avatar → the avatar performs tasks as an assistant (per the project’s claim).
- Scenario 2: a developer makes a PAI‑oriented application → uses the network/protocol to interact with PAI (per the project’s claim).
Getting started (wallet/network)
- What you need: access to the project’s network/tools and an understanding of PAIChain (specific steps for nodes/the wallet are not detailed in this card).
- Network/chain: PAIChain.
- Fees: network fees are possible for network operations; parameters are not established per Tier‑1 as of the verification date.
Architecture/tech (non‑AI)
- Components: the PAIChain network, client software/nodes (see the project’s technical documents for details).
- Participant roles: ecosystem users/developers; miners (PoW) verify transactions and receive PAI Coin; the role of authenticators (Proof of You) with compensation in PAI Coin is also described.
- Where logic runs: network state and transactions — onchain (PAIChain); avatar AI logic — not established (onchain/offchain) per Tier‑1 as of the verification date.
- Dependencies: —.
Token/economics (expanded, no forecasts)
- Token utility: compensation for network participation (including miners/authenticators) and payments for applications/services in the ecosystem; dual currency (PAI coin + credits).
- Protocol necessity drivers: PAI Coin is described as a “utility network coin for using PAI” and a means of compensation/settlement in PAI Network.
- Who pays fees: network users/participants; specific fee parameters are not established per Tier‑1 as of the verification date.
- Where fees go: —.
- Issuance/burn: max supply 2.1B; starting block reward 1500 PAI, halving every 210k blocks (~4 years).
- Security/incentive mechanisms: PoW: miners verify transactions and receive PAI Coin; authenticators are compensated with PAI Coin for PoY/authentication.
- Distribution and token issuance schedule: initial circulating supply 1.47B; max supply 2.1B (details — in the Tier‑1 FAQ).
- Treasury: —.
Governance

- How protocol parameters change: not established per Tier‑1 as of the verification date.
Security and incidents

Project status and timeline
- Current status: mainnet (based on the presence of a public network explorer).
- Key releases/milestones: not established per Tier‑1 as of the verification date.
- Roadmap: published in the Tier‑1 FAQ (see links_* Roadmap).
Ecosystem/integrations

- Partners: —.
- Where it’s actually used: public project materials and a network explorer are confirmed as of the verification date.
AI component of the project
- What is real AI here? The project describes Personal Artificial Intelligence (PAI) and “intelligent avatars” as the key product object.
- What is truly onchain? A blockchain protocol for storing/managing PAI is claimed; the network is observable via the public PAIChain explorer.
- Why is a token needed? PAI Coin is described as a utility coin for participation/compensation and payments in PAI Network (dual currency: PAI coin + credits).
- Red flags (based on the information found): the absence of Tier‑1 quality metrics for the AI component.
