1. Ethereum Community Conference and Polkadot decoded 2024
Last week, our team attended two significant conferences in Brussels, which proved to be an exceptional opportunity for growth and collaboration. Throughout the events, we engaged in numerous crucial meetings with industry leaders and potential partners. These interactions were not only insightful but also instrumental in expanding our professional network.
The valuable connections and knowledge we gained from these conferences will undoubtedly propel our network’s development forward more dynamically than ever before. We are excited about the prospects and collaborations that lie ahead as a result of our participation in these pivotal events.
We are going to pursue the opportunities and work on formal partnerships with few interested parties. Discussions are already scheduled for the next weeks. More to follow !!!
2. Bridge functionality tests and audit
We are currently actively testing the bridge functionality.
As bridge security is crucial we are closely working with auditors on the bridge audit.
Bridge Pallet Audit has been completed — we have worked on the auditors fixes for found issues.
We have handed over the fixes to the auditors and they are working on verification before providing the final report.
3. V1 Works continue — AI Nodes & BAI SDK Wrapper
We are testing the first version of the Balance AI SDK Wrapper.
BalanceAI Wrapper enables connection of AI models (API endpoints to AI models) to the BalanceAI blockchain. Wrapper is a Python utility (command-line tools and libraries) that wraps API calls from locally run model APIs, exposing them to BalanceAI users. It provides security by validating requests from authenticated users, checking authorization, and storing information about requests/responses on-chain and in the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS).
4. Audit Completed
The company responsible for the audit has finished its assessment.
We have completed the fixes for the auditors found issues and handed over the code for the auditors to re-verify.
They are going to re-run the following test cases:
A. BAI v0: Network Genesis and Chainspec
B. BAI v0: Network Runtime Configuration
C. BAI v0: Governance Configuration
5. Remember, the first version of our new documentation is now available!
This marks a significant milestone in our journey to enhance user experience and provide comprehensive support for our blockchain.
We are actively developing and expanding our documentation. Future updates will bring more guides, tutorials, and examples, improved accessibility, and integration of user feedback.

8. New Website
First draft of new website design has been completed. We are working on finalizing the website HTML code to publish it.
9. V1 Design process has started
We have started working on the design documents for the V1.
- On-Chain Access: The ability for users and/or applications to interact with AI models in a controlled (by Balance AI blockchain data) environment.
- AI Models Wrapped : A wrapper framework serves as a software development kit (SDK) designed to expose AI models via API, streamlining the process of integrating these models into Balance AI Marketplace. This framework automates several crucial aspects related to on-chain access, payments, security, and validation, enhancing the accessibility and usability of AI models in on-chain environment.
10. We have started the migration process to a new domain
We are currently in the process of migrating our website to our new official BalanceAI Network domain. The site will be under construction for a brief period. Coming soon, we will begin publishing updated project information documents.
11. Our V0 Testnet is fully operational
Beta Testnet V0 can be found at: rpc-testnet.balancedao.io
Explorer: https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc-testnet.balancedao.io%2F#/explorer
12. Monitoring infrasctructure
We are working on preparing solid monitoring infrastructure for the V0 Testnet and V0 Mainnet.
