Main Actors and Their Roles

Hubic is built around a decentralized architecture of actors who interact through cryptographically verifiable logic on Ethereum. Each actor plays a distinct role in ensuring secure, scalable and economically aligned AI execution — especially when models are tokenized as Real World Assets (RWAs).
🧠 Inference Nodes (Executors)
These nodes perform off-chain AI inference jobs using zk-compatible models. They are responsible for:
Running the zk-circuit of a registered model.
Generating zero-knowledge proofs for each inference.
Submitting results + proofs for on-chain verification.
RWA Link: Executors power the usage metrics that trigger royalty distributions to RWA token holders. More executions = more revenue = higher yield.
🧾 Validators
Validators manage task coordination and proof verification logic:
Dispatch inference jobs to available executors.
Verify zk-proofs and enforce model authenticity.
Submit validated results to Ethereum smart contracts.
RWA Link: Validators act as guardians of verifiability — their role ensures that only genuine, audited activity is used in RWA-related revenue contracts.
📦 Ethereum Smart Contracts
These are the on-chain programs that anchor Hubic’s trust layer:
Manage model registration, proof validation, scoring logic.
Record logs, usage stats, performance scores immutably.
Trigger payouts, slashing or governance actions.
RWA Link: All smart contracts involved in inference, scoring and payout are RWA-compatible — enabling models or agents to be financialized as income-bearing digital assets.
Each actor contributes to the decentralized intelligence fabric of Hubic, ensuring that AI outputs are not only trustworthy but also economically meaningful — particularly in the emerging category of AI-backed RWAs.
