About Ritual 

Ritual is building a sovereign, execution layer for AI. Our first phase, Infernet, is the first product of its kind to enable developers to access models both on-chain via smart contracts and off-chain. Our next phase, the Ritual chain, will be an execution layer custom-built to support AI-native operations and enable a new class of applications at the intersection of crypto and AI.
