Analyst Says TRON’s AI Network Will Transform Payments

Justin Sun says that Tron (TRX) will launch a new way for artificial intelligence (AI) systems to pay for things using a decentralized payment framework.

In a new Twitter thread, the founder of Tron says that the framework will work for OpenAI, an AI research company, and its most famous project, ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that has gone viral in recent months.

“The framework covers the smart contract system on the chain, the payment layer protocol, the underlying calling SDK [software development kit], and the AI payment gateway. Using the smart contract system to store user questions and AI results on the decentralized BitTorrent file storage system BTFS.

The payment layer protocol provides support for stable currency settlement on the chain, and the interaction layer provides users with standard settlement and API for AI services. TRX and BTT [BitTorent] will be deeply involved to achieve fully decentralized storage and DAO [decentralized autonomous organization] governance.

This framework will realize a decentralized payment system that is secure, trustworthy, tamper-proof, anti-censorship, and capable of AI, helping people build a new decentralized, intelligent financial ecosystem.”

Sun says that smart contracts on Tron will make it possible for payments to be made automatically and will make it easier for AI developers to get paid.

Sun’s news doesn’t seem to have changed the price of TRX. At the time of this writing, the 18th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is trading at $0.0634, up about 1.6% in the last week.

Last month, Microsoft said it would invest “multibillions of dollars over many years” in OpenAI to “speed up AI breakthroughs.”
