Telegraph × Bittensor Integration Architecture

Workflow Overview

1. Cross-Chain Message Initiation:

A smart contract on an external blockchain (e.g., Ethereum) sends a message to a Port contract, initiating a cross-chain operation.

2. Message Validation:

  • Telegraph validator nodes detect the message, sign it, and aggregate signatures into a Merkle tree.
  • Once the threshold is met, the aggregated signature is submitted back to the Port contract for verification.

3. Token Minting:

  • Upon successful verification, the Port contract executes the intended operation on the destination blockchain.
  • MSG tokens are minted and distributed to participating validator nodes as rewards.

4. Integration with Bittensor:

  • The validated message may include a request for AI inference.
  • The request is routed to the appropriate Bittensor subnet based on the inference type (e.g., NLP, Image Generation, DeFi AI).

5. AI Inference Processing:

  • Validators within the selected subnet forward the request to miners.
  • Miners process the request using their AI models and return the results.
  • Validators evaluate the responses, update miner rankings, and distribute TAO tokens accordingly.

This architecture demonstrates how Telegraph serves as a bridge between external blockchains and the Bittensor network, enabling seamless cross-chain communication and access to decentralized AI services. By integrating with Bittensor’s subnets, Telegraph not only enhances interoperability but also leverages Bittensor’s robust AI infrastructure to provide advanced inference capabilities directly to smart contracts across various blockchains.
