Integration of CommUnity-Developed Subnets into the Devolved AI Ecosystem

1. Summary: This proposal introduces a structured framework for CommUnities to independently develop and integrate specialized subnets into the Devolved AI ecosystem, thereby enhancing its overall capabilities and performance. To kickstart our subnet program upon the Argochain Layer 1 launch, I propose to offer substantial AGC grants to the CommUnities that successfully develop and integrate approved subnets. These grants are designed to incentivize innovation and participation, while ensuring commitment to the network's success through AGC staking requirements.

2. Proposal Details:

2.1 Objective: My objective is to diversify and enhance the capabilities of Devolved AI by integrating CommUnity-developed subnets. This initiative aims to foster innovation and collaboration, incentivizing high-quality contributions through substantial AGC grants.

2.2 Introduction to Subnets: Subnets are specialized segments of the Devolved AI network developed independently by CommUnities. Each subnet focuses on specific functions, contributing to the collective intelligence and operational efficiency of Devolved AI. These functions may include data curation, model enhancement, security measures, resource optimization, integration services, or any other specialized tasks that support and enhance the capabilities of Devolved AI's AI models.

2.3 Functioning of Subnets:

• Independent Development: CommUnities conceptualize and develop subnets, encouraging innovation and specialization.
• Proposal and Review: CommUnities submit their developed subnets for review, assessing functionality, network compatibility, security, and the potential value added to Devolved AI.
• Integration: Approved subnets are integrated into the Devolved AI ecosystem. This integration involves establishing secure and efficient communication channels, ensuring interoperability, and aligning the subnet's operations with the overall goals and standards of Devolved AI.
• Operation: Integrated subnets operate within the Devolved AI network, enhancing the platform's performance and introducing new or improved functionalities.

2.4 Benefits of Subnets to Devolved AI:

• Enhanced Capabilities: Subnets introduce new or improved functionalities, broadening the scope and enhancing the performance of Devolved AI's AI models.
• Innovation Acceleration: The independent development of subnets by CommUnities fosters innovation, allowing for rapid exploration and implementation of new ideas and technologies.
• Scalability: Subnets enable Devolved AI to scale more effectively by distributing tasks across specialized segments of the network, improving efficiency and performance.
• Community Engagement: The subnet program encourages active participation from CommUnities, leveraging collective expertise and resources for the advancement of Devolved AI.
• Resilience and Security: Subnets can introduce advanced security measures, contributing to the network's robustness, ensuring data integrity and system reliability.

2.5 Launch Offer and AGC Grant Reward: Upon the launch of Argochain Layer 1, I propose to offer substantial AGC grants to CommUnities for each approved subnet. These grants are aimed at rewarding the innovative efforts of CommUnities and ensuring their long-term commitment to the network's success. To secure these grants and align long-term interests, all core CommUnities building subnets are required to stake a significant amount of AGC. This staking requirement mitigates the risk of immediate selling of AGC, ensuring a long-term commitment to the network's success.

2.6 Benefits:

• Launch Momentum: The initial grant offer provides strong momentum and substantial resources for the subnet program's launch.
• Aligned Incentives: Staking requirements ensure that CommUnities are invested in the long-term success and stability of the network.
• Innovation and Reward: Driving the growth of Devolved AI by encouraging innovation and rewarding successful contributions.

2.7 Integration Process:

• Independent Development and Staking: CommUnities independently develop subnets while meeting AGC staking requirements to demonstrate long-term commitment.
• Submission and Review: Developed subnets undergo a thorough review process.
• Approval Process: While this proposal is submitted for approval on snapshot.org, future subnet approvals will be conducted through our native DAO built on Argochain, ensuring transparency and consensus within our ecosystem.
• AGC Grant Allocation: Upon approval, substantial AGC grants are allocated to the CommUnity's treasury, subject to the CommUnity's governance and utilization rules, and the staking agreement.
• Integration: Approved subnets are securely connected to the Devolved AI ecosystem.
• Monitoring and Maintenance: Continuous monitoring and regular updates ensure that subnets remain effective and secure contributors to the ecosystem.

3. Implementation Plan: The implementation involves establishing clear guidelines for subnet development, promoting community outreach, setting up review and approval infrastructure on Argochain, providing integration support, and implementing systems for ongoing performance and security monitoring of integrated subnets.

4. Conclusion: The introduction of the CommUnity-developed subnets program, supported by substantial AGC grant incentives and robust staking requirements, presents a transformative opportunity for the growth and advancement of the Devolved AI ecosystem. I seek the community's approval to embark on this journey together, fostering innovation, commitment, and collaboration, and ensuring that Devolved AI remains at the forefront of AI technology.
