🔧 Core Components

NeuraLink’s architecture is built around five essential modules, each supporting a different layer of the decentralized AI lifecycle—from data management to simulation, incentives, task execution, and governance.

These modules can function as an integrated ecosystem or be accessed independently via APIs.


3.1 Data Vault

Data is the raw material of intelligence. NeuraLink provides a permission-controlled, multi-modal data warehouse that supports text, images, audio, video, and logs. Users can upload, structure, and monetize their data.

Key Features:

  • Multi-format support for structured/unstructured data

  • Privacy protection tools: anonymization, encryption, permission layers

  • Decentralized storage via Arweave / Filecoin / IPFS

  • On-chain traceability with dataset ID, metadata, and access logs

  • User-defined access and incentive settings (e.g., public, private, task-specific)


3.2 Simulation Engine

The Simulation Engine powers the on-chain AI training workflow. It transforms training tasks into cooperative simulations governed by smart contracts and verified by community nodes.

Key Features:

  • Task creation and training executed by decentralized nodes

  • Training updates submitted with signed proofs and performance metrics

  • Every training round is tracked and verified on-chain

  • Forkable and upgradeable model logic supported by consensus


3.3 Reward Layer

The Reward Layer automates token incentives through smart contracts based on user behavior and contribution quality.

Rewarded Actions:

  • Uploading datasets

  • Participating in training tasks

  • Performing result validation

  • Deploying reusable models

  • Assisting in community tasks (e.g. annotation, translation, moderation)


3.4 Task Portal

The Task Portal is the main interface for creating, browsing, or participating in AI tasks. It supports both end users and automated agents through APIs.

Supported Task Types:

  • Data contribution or annotation

  • Model training or fine-tuning

  • Result verification

  • Agent simulation and interaction


3.5 Governance Layer (NeuraDAO)

NeuraDAO governs all key protocol decisions including incentive parameters, model listing policies, treasury allocation, and protocol upgrades.

DAO Covers:

  • Community voting on model publishing and filtering

  • Budget governance for ecosystem grants

  • Reward policy adjustments

  • Consensus over simulation parameters

Over time, control over the entire protocol will transition from the founding team to the Neura community, ensuring long-term decentralization and resistance to censorship.
