AI Chain or AI Claim? Decoding True On-Chain Intelligence and the Web3 Cost Crisis

The AI narrative is everywhere in crypto right now -but how much of it is real? In this episode of The Intelligence Layer - Deep Dive, we cut through the hype to examine why most so-called “AI chains” are really just AI-adjacent.

We explore:

The Web2 AI cost crisis, from $10B+ inference bills to trillion-dollar data center build-outs.
Why tokenizing API calls to OpenAI or NVIDIA doesn’t solve the underlying economics.
The three pillars of true AI-native blockchains: memory, reasoning, and action, all on-chain.
A reality check on big names like Bittensor, Render, NEAR, and the ASI alliance.
The “Intelligence Trilemma” intelligence, interpretability, interoperability as the new benchmark for the next decade of Web3.

Our thesis: The winning chain won’t just be fast, it will be able to think.
