DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) Frontiers of the $2 Trillion Market.
New Challenges for
Japan"s Largest Crypto Asset
JANCTION is an original L2 blockchain that provides accurate and traceable data input and protects personal information and privacy for SMEs and other companies developing products that utilize generative AI.
Market Background
AI (Artificial Intelligence) and AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) began to experience significant growth in 2023, with many companies actively investing in this field.

The main elements supporting this field include "computing power," "algorithms (models)," and "data."

In particular, computing power is essential for the training, inference, and deployment of AI models, and it is a critical factor for early-stage AI companies to advance.
For example, an AI model called ChatGPT developed by OpenAIwas used by more than one million people within two months of its release.Training this model requires a large number of high-performance GPUs (graphics processing units).

The GPT-3 version has 175 billion parameters (variables required for learning), and training can take several months.
More advanced models, such as GPT-3.5 and GPT-4,will require even more computing power.In order to provide them to a large number of users, computing power is also required to run the AI ​​models while protecting the privacy of the data.
Problems and Solution
Problem
While the demand for GPU computing power is very high, the supply side is facing a serious shortage. NVIDIA has launched high-performance GPUs such as the H100 and A100, but the supply capacity of manufacturers such as TSMS is clearly insufficient compared to demand. Even if these GPUs are produced, they are mainly supplied to large companies, so small and medium-sized enterprises are usually forced to use cloud GPUs to meet their computing power needs.
On the other hand, with Ethereum"s transition from PoW to PoS, many previous-generation high-performance GPUs such as NVIDIA"s GeForce RTX3090 are idle. Utilizing these idle GPU resources to provide AI services to small and medium-sized enterprises is an issue that JANCTION is actively considering.

In addition to the demand for computing power, the supply of high-quality and diverse data (corpora) is essential for the performance of the model. At the same time, the small language models introduced by Microsoft suggest a new development in future AI models. This trend may lead to many more small language models, each of which exists as an independent AI agent. These models will be combined to provide services like AI large language models, while maintaining clear boundaries.

Solutions
After thorough research, we concluded that developing a new independent L1/L2 blockchain is an effective approach to solving current challenges in the AI ​​industry.

On-chain AI allows for the automation and dynamic operation of machine learning and artificial intelligence using smart contracts. Additionally, blockchain technology provides transparent and reliable solutions for various aspects of AI (e.g. zkML and opML). Also, key elements such as AI models, GPU computing power, data feeds, and data labeling can be integrated into a blockchain designed specifically for AI.

The current AI public chain is limited to decentralization in certain areas and has not yet established an effective cooperation mechanism. For example, there are projects that specialize in providing high-quality AI models, distributed GPU computing power, data quality assurance, etc., but due to these limitations, the current AI public chain cannot fully provide the necessary support.
Layer 2 solutions are lightweight and flexible options that allow for seamless integration with both Bitcoin and Ethereum. By leveraging mature execution layer technologies, they offer numerous advantages that attract both projects and users. These benefits include low costs and high transaction processing speeds (TPS).
Furthermore, by establishing Layer 2 connections on AI public blockchains, it is possible to overcome the limitations of existing public blockchains and enhance interoperability.
Recently, many large-scale projects have adopted Layer 2 as a primary solution, indicating its potential for widespread use in the fields of AI and blockchain. This approach is expected to bring new developments and innovations to the AI industry.
JANCTION Chain Structure
Looking at JANCTION"s architecture from the L2 perspective, we can see that it incorporates a traditional data availability layer (DA layer). This layer achieves efficient data utilization and cost control by selecting a cost-effective DA layer while meeting the performance requirements of the AI ​​field. In addition, it performs off-chain transaction alignment and batch normalization to improve the effectiveness of data processing.

The AI ​​execution layer utilizes data pool technology to perform core functions such as data storage, indexing, data annotation, etc. These functions build JANCTION"s powerful data processing capabilities. And to provide rich algorithm support for various AI applications, we deploy algorithm hubs that cater to different scenarios.
At the same time, we are building comprehensive modules related to GPUs to provide stable computing power. These modules include GPU Market, Curator, Cluster and GPU Supply, which work together to provide powerful computing power for JANCTION"s AI applications.

This architectural design enables JANCTION to achieve the full integration of data, algorithms, and computing power from an L2 perspective, laying a solid foundation for the rapid development of AI applications.

This architectural design enables JANCTION to achieve the full integration of data, algorithms, and computing power from an L2 perspective, laying a solid foundation for the rapid development of AI applications.
A closer look at JANCTION"s GPU module reveals that at its heart is a powerful cluster GPU pool. This pool pools computing power from various sources, including data centers, cryptocurrency miners, and consumer GPUs, to create efficient GPU clusters. These clusters are tightly managed to ensure that resources are properly allocated and utilized to execute contracts.

We believe that consumer GPUs will play a key role in DePIN, a market that is said to be worth $2 trillion. In particular, the GPUs in gaming PCs and gaming devices are not in operation most of the time, sitting idle at home. By utilizing this resource, consumers can turn their personal devices into new revenue opportunities by renting them out by the hour, and building this environment is what JANCTION"s GPU Market is all about.

To achieve optimal configuration of GPU resources, JANCTION deploys two key components: "Curator" and "GPU Pool". The Curator monitors the status of the GPU cluster and manages it to keep it in optimal operation at all times. Meanwhile, the GPU Pool provides a platform to efficiently match the demand and supply of computing power.
For customers customers who need computing power, JANCTION provides the "AA (Account Abstraction)" feature, which allows to access the GPU Pool in the simplest way and easily purchase the computing power they need to run their computing tasks. This feature significantly lowers the barrier to entry, allowing more users to use JANCTION"s efficient computing services.
Relationship between JASMY and JANCTION
JANCTION is a project launched to expand the ecosystem of JASMY, Japan"s largest Web3 project. JASMY is at the forefront of the market as a leader in the Japanese Web3 industry. Notably, JasmyCoin is the only Japanese token listed on Binance and Coinbase. At its peak, FDV reached $150 billion ($150B), and from a 99% decentralized state, it achieved a 10x price increase in 2024.

Although the ecosystem is still in its early stages, the company has already received positive feedback from investors around the world, based on the ambitious vision of giving data rights to individuals and building a data marketplace. This is due in large part to the capabilities of the team members, as well as the credibility of the company being founded by a former president of Sony.
JASMY has a lofty corporate vision of "democratizing data" and has gained the support of many people. With doubts about the exclusive use of personal information as a backdrop, we are developing reliable services while adhering to strict regulations. In addition, by utilizing a strong network with Web2 companies built under a solid management team, JASMY continues to meet the expectations of the public through jointly developed products and IoT-based data utilization strategies.

Through these efforts, JANCTION promotes active user participation and strongly supports the AI/data business of companies developing innovative products. Data resources accumulated through easy-to-participate tools, SDKs, APIs, and application services will continue to grow. And as resources increase, a virtuous cycle will be created in which the value of the entire chain will increase.
JANCTION is a platform that ensures data security and reliability, and its foundation is a unique two-layer structure. The execution layer consists of nodes and validators that support the project, and the resource pool is managed by them. $JCT, the governance token that supports this ecosystem, plays a key role in the sustainability of JANCTION.
JCT holders can receive a portion of the JAN CTION rewards generated from fees incurred when using resources and GAS of transactions. In addition, staking JCT gives them the right to participate in the governance of the execution layer.

In principle, access to data and resources is done with stable coins such as USDT, but payment with JCT is also an option. This system allows for both stable economic activity using stable coins and the return of profits to JCT holders.
JANCTION has already partnered with many Web2 companies to develop products and operate applications at a commercial level. With its patented technology and innovative initiatives, JANCTION has collaborated with many major companies and is working to further expand its business.

In the future, we plan to set the linkage with the GPU resources of idle game terminals as an important milestone, and to cooperate with data centers and e-sports facilities and secure large-scale data center resources. We will also actively expand partnerships with companies in various fields such as generative AI, high-value-added game platforms, and fan communities.
JANCTION aims to create a secure and trustworthy data society through its unique tokenomics and proactive business development.
