The Intelligent Blockchain
Scaling Blockchain Computation to enable interchain and limitless real-world applications Abstract
We are on the cusp of a new era in which the blockchain is set to disrupt various industries and touch the lives of individuals around the world. However, despite the immense capabilities of the blockchain, it has thus far failed to live up to its potential and to support any complex mainstream applications with a large active user base. The Ethereum network, whose collective computational power far exceeds that of most supercomputers, has thus far been relegated to supporting very limited applications and was stretched to its limits by CryptoKitties. The blockchain is in need of key innovations, so that it may support applications demanding of memory, computation, and privacy. Only then can we harness the full potential of the blockchain and witness a powerful impact on a much larger swath of industries.
Introduction
ZEUS Protocol in its inception is a second layer network for Ethereum to scale computation with core capabilities of identity (ZeusID), information (ZeusOracle), intelligence (ZeusAI), and interoperability (ZeusInterop). The underlying computation network and these four capabilities are the main components of the ZEUS Protocol. The role of these five components is clarified in the table below in terms of how they tackle the key shortcomings of the blockchain today as to enable a much more powerful world of distributed applications. The time is ripe for such an ambitious decentralized computational solution as we are amidst an exponential growth in computational capacity.
Identity
Identity (ZeusID) ZeusID allows the creation of user identity and the understanding of whether a user is verified by a third party, possesses accredited investor status, or has miner status. This user abstraction allows for more complex applications on top.
Information
Information (ZeusOracle) ZeusOracle allows pulling real-world off-chain data onto the blockchain, giving the network universal application. ZeusOracle applications, like other SuperDapps, rely on multiple miners ensuring no central point of failure.
Intelligence
Intelligence (ZeusAI) Zeus Protocol enables the integration of AI and machine learning by providing enormous computing power. Model inference can be executed on hardware-compliant (e.g. GPU) miners.
Interoperability
Interoperability (ZeusInterop) Zeus Protocol enables the communication ability with other blockchains with any blockchain in the world without sacrificing privacy. ZeusInterop SuperDapps in- corporate Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanisms and are supported by whitelisted matchmakers and validators. They can subsequently ensure cross-blockchain transactions are satisfied by the parties involved (i.e., users and miners).
Computation Network
The computation network enables complex flexible distributed applications, referred to as Superpowerd Dapps or SuperDapps, to be run off-chain on hardware-compliant miners (i.e., execution nodes).
Fundamentally, ZEUS Protocol solves the problem of distributing numerical computations over a dataset to nodes in a decentralized network. The distribution is achieved in a manner that preserves the computations' verifiability. The solution to this problem is represented in the ZEUS Protocol by the Superpowered DApp (SuperDapp), which are flexible distributed applications able to play various roles including those corresponding to the aforementioned four core capabilities.
Zeus Protocol is concerned with a class of problem that poses high difficulty in terms of computation verification. Since recent advances in the field of verifiable computing are generally too computationally expensive to be practically used for a large volume of computations, ZEUS Protocol uses a statistical verification scheme combined with a reputation system that incentivizes honest computation. Moreover, the verification mechanics used by ZEUS Protocol allows the computing nodes to perform most of their computation without having to record results on the Ethereum blockchain, which reduces computational and transactional overhead.
ZeusID
After months of hard work, we are excited to publicly announce that our first product, ZeusID (https://id.zeusprotocol.com/), is currently in Beta. ZeusID is one of the core capabilities of Zeus Protocol. It solves one of the biggest pain points of the blockchain ecosystem - trust & reputation. For the first time, 30 million+ ETH wallets now have a reputation score, miner verification, wallet persona, and graph - all algorithmically verified! In the next few weeks, we will be releasing new updates to improve functionalities and add new features - stay tuned!
Partners
As the core of Zeus Protocol continues to grow, we seek strategic partnerships with high-quality projects that are continuously adding value to the blockchain ecosystem. Our first product, ZeusID, provides a universal solution that can be utilized across every industry and for projects in any stage of the development process.
We currently have 30 partners with 40 additional companies in the pipeline. Some of these partners include Bodhi, Akash, Deconet, and Iagon.
ZeusID is the first of its kind solution that gives everyone insights into the identity and reputation of every Ethereum address around the world. Our partners represent a wide spectrum of different projects ranging from early-stage projects to large Blockchain companies that have thousands of registered users and handle millions in crypto assets. Since our partners are so diverse, they have utilized ZeusID for marketing, risk and transaction reporting, targeted airdrops, and enhanced on chain identity verification.
As the blockchain space continues to evolve, our partner's use-cases will continue to expand.

Team
Zeus Protocol is a global project that was created by blockchain veterans in order to solve major pain points in the blockchain ecosystem.
With such an ambitious goal, it only makes sense that the Zeus Protocol team comes from both the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities as well as traditional companies like Google, Microsoft, Blackstone, and SAP.
