Ritual

Ritual is the **most expressive blockchain in existence**, with a single focus: enrich what users can do on-chain _today_ to attract the users of _tomorrow_.

What is Ritual?

Understanding Ritual's place in blockchain evolution

Ritual in the Blockchain Landscape

Understanding Ritual's approach to Crypto × AI

Ritual in the Crypto × AI Landscape

Build verifiable, autonomous agents with proveable execution, cross-chain capabilities, and on-chain action provenance.

Smart Agents

Resonance is a state-of-the-art transaction fee mechanism to efficiently match supply and demand, offering users optimally priced transaction execution.

Resonance

Symphony is a new consensus protocol to reduce replicated execution and enable high-performance, resource-intensive workloads.

Symphony

Node specialization

Advanced compute firewalls for specialized node operation.

Guardians

Storage-agnostic approach to data, with support for Web2 and Web3 venues.

Modular Storage

Net-new functionality enabled for users and developers.

Ritual for Users

Net-new functionality enabled for Ritual nodes and their operators.

Ritual for Node Runners

EVM++ is a backwards-compatible extension of the [Ethereum Virtual Machine](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/evm/) with expressive compute precompiles to build _actually smart_ contracts, with native scheduling, built-in account abstraction, and the most wanted EIPs.

EVM++

Underlying our expressive compute precompiles—which enable any type of heterogeneous compute, including [AI inference](/whats-new/evm++-sidecars/ai-inference/classical-ml-inference), [ZK proof verification](/whats-new/evm++-sidecars/zk-proving-and-verification), [TEE code execution](/whats-new/evm++-sidecars/tee-execution), and beyond—are our optimized execution sidecars.

Execution Sidecars

Scheduled transactions enable recurring, conditional invocation of smart contract functions, at the top of a block, without the need for external keepers.

Scheduled Transactions

Ritual, with its underlying mesh of 8,000+ connected Infernet nodes, lets anyone, anywhere tap into transparent AI, with strong privacy and verifiability guardrails.

Infernet ↔︎ Chain

Blockchain networks symbiotically benefit from tapping into Ritual's optimized compute offerings and mesh of special-purpose nodes.

Ritual ↔︎ World

Ritual's unique architecture enables it to power more than just Crypto x AI use-cases, becoming the schelling point for all of Web3.

Expressive Blockchains

Resonance and Symphony enable drop-in decentralization and real-time optimization for L2s, ZKML coprocessors, and other proof-backed networks.

Prover Networks

Hyperscale rollup customization with day-0 support for custom precompiles with Resonance, Symphony, and EVM++ extensions.

L2 RaaS

L2 Rollup-as-a-Service

Creating a verifiable marketplace for AI models and Intellectual Property.

Model Marketplace

Ritual's public testnet is next, with a variety of net-new functionality on its way, with a focus on performance and seamless user experience.
