Lumerin Announces Testnet Node for Decentralized AI Compute on Morpheus Network

Lumerin, a protocol and foundational layer technology using smart contracts to control how P2P data streams are accessed, routed, and transacted, announced its testnet node for decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) compute will go live in Q2 or Q3 on the Morpheus AI network. The Lumerin team are avid code contributors and, upon seeing the opportunity represented by Morpheus, contributed codebase that was years in the making and battle-tested. Lumerin's testnet node is a key step in developing applications that use AI to make Web3 applications more accessible, transparent, and efficient for consumers and businesses alike.

Centralized AI models are more prone to inherent biases and increase the risk of censorship and monopoly. Decentralized AI on-chain democratizes access to data and intelligence and ensures better transparency and accountability with open testing benchmarks without the need to rely on flawed, centralized frameworks. Lumerin is leveraging its existing codebase to build the core node software for Morpheus, a decentralized AI network that connects users, compute providers, and personal AIs, called Smart Agents, in a seamless Web3 ecosystem. Key benefits include permissionless access to personal AIs, decentralized AI data routing, censorship resistance, crypto payments for AIs, and an AI marketplace. Lumerin's project leader expressed a vision of a future where individuals have complete control over their data and their privacy, free from the shackles of government censorship and corporate interests.

The utility of MOR token is also highlighted, being the underlying token and main asset for AI projects launched on the Morpheus network. The main utility of MOR is access to AI compute for holders and rewards for capital and code contributors. MOR can only be earned or purchased and is now available on Uniswap. Additionally, Lumerin is an open-source protocol and foundational layer technology that uses smart contracts to control how P2P data streams are accessed, routed, and transacted. Founded in 2021, Lumerin's strategic partners include Bloq, Hive Blockchain, Fenbushi Capital, and Outlier Ventures, among others.
