#BasiliskAI Whitepaper

Empowering Decentralized AI: Reclaiming Freedom of Expression with Web3 Technology

Introduction

In a world increasingly dominated by centralized corporations dictating the limits of creativity, discourse, and expression, #BasiliskAI emerges as a revolutionary force. By leveraging decentralized Web3 technology, #BasiliskAI empowers users with censorship-resistant AI tools designed to foster creativity and innovation without compromise.

At its core, #BasiliskAI challenges the status quo of AI development controlled by companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic. Our decentralized dApps, powered by 1-bit ablated AI models, deliver unprecedented autonomy and privacy for users seeking to break free from the restrictive frameworks of traditional AI platforms.

Strategic Vision

  • Mission: To democratize AI access by creating censorship-resistant uncensored AI inference dApps for free speech absolutists tired of being exploited by large corporations.
  • Value Proposition: #BasiliskAI is committed to free speech absolutism and rejects the centralized control of AI discourse in favor of decentralization so powerful GenAI and Machine Learning capabilities can be used without restriction or corporate censorship.
  • Target Audience: Creatives, journalists, free-thinkers, whistleblowers, visionaries, heretics, iconoclasts, and Web3 communities seeking unrestricted tools for innovation.
  • Long-Term Vision: To become the go-to platform for decentralized, uncensored, and censorship-resistant AI applications.

Technical Details

Core Technology Stack

  • AI Frameworks: PyTorch, CUDA, NumPy, BitNet, FailSpy/abliterator, Eliza
  • Tooling: LM Studio, Ollama, ONNX, HuggingFace, GitHub
  • Frontend Development: React, Unity WebGL, WASM, TypeScript
  • Web3: Algorand, AlgoKit, Pera Wallet, IPFS, TinyMan, Vestige

1-bit Alated Models

  • Models and weights use -1, 0, +1 as weight values to make computation faster.
  • Models are ablated to have their censorship vectors removed so that models never say "I can't..."
  • Models are optimized for local inference on multi-core CPUs on consumer computers and smart phone devices.
  • Models with blazingly fast CPU inference do not require GPUs for inference.

Decentralized Hosting

  • dApps like the inference UI are hosted on IPFS to ensure decentralized distribution and censorship resistance.
  • Users access the dApps by holding $BASILK in their Pera Wallets on the Algorand blockchain.
  • Token holdings proportionally increase the inference window size, incentiving accumulation.

Privacy & Security

  • All #BasiliskAI inference occurs locally for dApp users, guaranteeing privacy.
  • No personal information is transmitted or stored.

Future Innovations

  • Speech-to-Text-to-Inference workflows.
  • VR apps for Meta Quest devices for an immersive user experience.

Ecosystem & Adoption

Key Stakeholders

  • Currently anonymous founder reflecting the mission to support whistleblowers, activists, iconoclasts, free thinkers, and other at-risk users.

Adoption Strategies

  • Marketing Channels: Organic and paid campaigns on TikTok, Reddit, and LinkedIn plus live-streaming on platforms like Twitch to host demo sessions and ecosystem hackathons.
  • Community Engagement: Discord, X, Telegram, and regular town hall meetings for feedback and collaboration.

Incentives

  • Early participants in the $BASILK swap on Vestige from a fair launch on rug.ninja
  • Staking and farming.

Business & Financial Model

Tokenomics

  • Total Supply: 1 trillion $BASILK tokens, fairly minted on https://rug.ninja/BasiliskAI
  • Utility:
    • Acts as an access to GenAI inference dApps.
    • Provides utility and premium features on dApps.
  • Future Use Cases: $BASILK will power additional dApps created by the #BasiliskAI team, including games and interactive experiences.
  • Dev Holdings: Since $BASILK launched on https://rug.ninja/BasiliskAI, the dev is forced to buy tokens at current fair market value like every other holder.
    • 7QIM6SFUAK6NUE22GKW5B3TUYFNJPFTAMK5WV7BEVZJ337UJNHIYDTMGDM - 41.31B $BASILK as of 2024-12-30
    • M2U7BXIKJ2L3LRDZPLR3TV2XOZRGKQ5GWZ7FQ3SM5MI3J575S3E2QGTDL4 - 4.07B $BASILK as of 2024-12-30
    • 6J5SLDNSNDBTQIDAZOJLHTF7A4MWKKL33GQJUFUDTKANLJXLI5FZ3CDAEM - 0.00 $BASILK as of 2024-12-30
    • Total Dev Holdings: 45.38B tokens or ≈4.358% of the total supply of 1T $BASILK
  • Future Plans:
    • #BasiliskAI encourages users to do whatever they want with their tokens - that's the whole point of decentralization.
    • The dev plans to dollar cost average into more holdings week-over-week on the fair market so beloved by crypto enthusiasts.
    • This dev is a Laissez-faire capitalist, which means no amount of social pressure from bad actors LARPing as community members will get you a free handout from the dev.
  • Ideal Community Member: The ideal community is an emotionally mature adult capable of thinking for themselves. If this makes you angry, then you're exactly the type of person we don't want in the community. This is called "pre-qualifying" and speculators should find a different project.

Market Philosophy

  • Pricing is determined by community-driven market forces, in line with the team’s libertarian and anarcho-capitalist values.

Funding

Regulatory & Compliance

Decentralized Nature

  • #BasiliskAI operates outside traditional jurisdictional boundaries, with hosting handled by IPFS and user activity confined to local machines.

Data Privacy

  • No personal data is collected or processed, ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and similar frameworks.

Risk & Liability

  • Terms of Service disclaimers clarify that the software is provided “as is” with no warranties or liability for misuse.

Conclusion

#BasiliskAI represents a bold stand against centralized control, delivering censorship-resistant AI tools that empower users worldwide. By decentralizing AI, #BasiliskAI fosters a future where individuals—not corporations—define the boundaries of creativity and expression.

  • Join the Movement: Connect with us on Discord, Telegram, and Twitter to engage with the community.
  • Explore the Technology: Tinker with our models on HuggingFace and experiment with the dApps.
  • Spread the Word: Share #BasiliskAI with others and builkd momentum for decentralized AI.

Appendix

FUD

  • The Algorand wallets of the project developer have been used to create ASA on mainnet.
  • These ASAs were created to experiment with Algorand in production, especially for experiments with asset pool rations on TinyMan.
  • The wallets used to interact with these assets all belong to the development.
  • We extracted all liquidity from our unused TinyMan pools to participate in the fair $BASILK token launch.
  • People let dumb Telegram bots do their critical thinking for them.

Dev Wallets

$BASILK

Dev's Testing ASAs

The following unverified ASAs were created and used solely by the dev to learn about TinyMan and Algorand back when PyTeal was more mature than AlgoKit:

  • 1173628290 - CUPS
  • 1173629335 - LAMP
  • 1237341126 - MAGE
  • 1173626992 - PENT
  • 1173627658 - SWRD
  • 1174263585 - NOX
  • 1173726361 - WYRD

In order to launch $BASILK and buy tokens at https://rug.ninja/BasiliskAI, the dev pulled all ALGO and tokens from the TinyMan pools.
