Morpheus, one of several blockchain projects seeking to decentralize artificial intelligence, is up and running in the wild, the team behind it announced Monday on X (formerly Twitter).
Like other decentralized AI networks, Morpheus seeks to curtail the negative side effects of AI, such as centralization, censorship, and monopolistic control of data.

Similar decentralized AI projects include Bittensor, dAIOS and Boltzmann Network. Morpheus recently joined the Decentralized AI Society, a trade group focused on fighting the tech giants that wield massive control over AI data.
Morpheus was built using the codebase for Lumerin, a protocol that runs on the Arbitrum blockchain (which itself is a layer-2 running atop Ethereum, the largest smart contract network.)
Morpheus went live on a public testnet, or simulated experimental environment, in July. The project promises personal AIs, also known as “smart agents,” that can empower individuals much like personal computers and search engines did in decades past. Among other tasks, agents can “execute smart contracts, connecting to users’ Web3 wallets, DApps, and smart contracts,” the team said.
