CEO of Bluwhale Discusses Tokenizing Identities and Decentralized AI Using Blockchain Technology
Chat with Han Jin, the CEO of Bluwhale
Bluwhale, a leading player in the decentralized AI and data infrastructure scene, is all about putting you in control of your digital identity and making it profitable. In this exclusive interview, Han Jin sheds some light on how Bluwhale is democratizing AI and bridging the gap between Web2 data and Web3 innovation.
Q. How is Bluwhale revolutionizing tokenization to democratize AI access with the blockchain?
Tokenization is the talk of the town, with a range of assets getting tokenized— from real-world assets to communities. However, there's a largely unexplored aspect: personal identity tokenization, which is all about launching tokens that represent you, your achievements, and your digital footprint. While tokenizing one-to-one hard assets like a house is straightforward, tokenizing your online and offline identity is more complex.
To tackle this challenge, we use AI to analyze and aggregate all your digital data, incentivizing you to enrich your profile with offline and Web2 information. This is crucial for our Intelligence Layer because in our ecosystem, the user is the engine powering the AI models and agents built on our platform. As more users contribute to our layer, the smarter and more accessible the AI becomes for everyone.
Q. What's the role of AI matching on Bluwhale to pair consumers with the right digital assets, quests, or services in gaming settings?
AI matching was our first showcase because the user experience of Web3 platforms typically leaves much to be desired due to a lack of personalization capabilities. With an explosion of digital assets, services, and products in the offing, finding what you're looking for is about to get even harder. In the gaming world, personalization will play an even more critical role as the next generation of games trend towards self-creation or dynamic storylines tailored to each player. That means the number of variations and outcomes will approach infinity, and relying on users to find what they want could lead to frustration.
Q. Can you explain digital identity tokenization on Bluwhale and the platform's efforts to make this process user-centric and secure?
Bluwhale makes it a breeze for anyone to create a profile, aggregate their data, and launch a token representing themselves within three clicks. This design encourages honesty and long-term commitment because users are revealing a lot about themselves to build trust with potential investors. A single profile can only launch one token, preventing the creation of multiple tokens under the same profile and discouraging rug pulls.
Moreover, this setup incentivizes transparency since tokens launched by reputed profiles are deemed less risky compared to those launched by empty ones.
Q. How does Bluwhale balance privacy with personalization using cutting-edge data security and zero-knowledge proof?
We partner with Caldera to secure our users' data using zk-rollup technology. With zero-knowledge proofs, your profile's data is stored in a layer that only you control in terms of access and visibility, offering potential profit. This allows enterprises or individuals to access your information at your discretion and for a fee, ensuring that your data remains private while still powering AI models for personalization purposes.
Q. What's the role of mobile-based user-run nodes in Bluwhale's AI platform?
Mobile AI nodes are the next stage of user status in our ecosystem. As we gather a wealth of data, the nodes verify that the data used in compute environments hasn't been tampered with. While protecting the system against manipulation, these nodes are also paving the way for a future where users benefit financially from the resulting insights.
Q. How does Bluwhale assist users in owning and controlling their data?
We recognize that users don't want to manually manage their identity and data, so we built an AI-powered system to do the heavy lifting for them. We incentivize users to make the best decisions regarding their profiles and data, making data ownership and control a gamified experience with potential passive income.
Q. As 3 million users now use Bluwhale to tokenize their digital identities, what benefits do they stand to gain?
Bluwhale presents users with numerous opportunities to monetize their profiles and data in various ways. From tokenization and data access to AI node verification contributions, our vision is to establish ourselves as the top destination for individuals to profit from their digital footprint and identity, offering multiple ways to generate passive income and boost the growth of digital identity as a financial asset class.
Q. How does Bluwhale differ from conventional platforms like TikTok or Facebook, which also utilize digital identities?
On traditional social platforms, users are entertained but receive no cut from the profits that big enterprises generate from their data and profiles. With Bluwhale, we flip the script—putting the user at the center of the exchange, allowing them to profit from their identity and data more than 90% of the time, without the need for manual effort. Instead, they can enjoy the experience as a fun, gamified process.
Q. How do major Web3 partners like Tezos, Arbitrum, and Sui benefit from Bluwhale's AI and data network?
Our alliance with L1 and L2 chains is accelerating our expansion into new horizons because these chains form the foundation for users to transact and interact. For chain operators, our digital footprint offers an unadulterated view of their ecosystem, while providing more insightful understanding to identify emerging trends and potential breakout use cases to scale on their chains.
We aim to become the brain that offers operators a bird's-eye view of their chain, and enables deep dives through our AI layer for direct interaction with their data. By empowering chain teams with this intelligence, they can make smarter decisions and investments that could help draw in the next 100 million users.
Q. What will the $100M recently raised by Bluwhale be used for?
AI and blockchain are nearing a tipping point, but their fusion remains a young and niche market. While affirming that all the necessary infrastructure is ready for decentralized AI, I must admit that I'm being disingenuous. The AI Web3 space is mainly dominated by ideas rather than real execution and fully-functional technology. Many components are still needed, and the years it will take to develop, build, and educate talent for success in this field will require substantial investment from our end.
The funding will be used to further build out our orchestration layer and any missing pieces we'll need to develop in-house to realize our vision of a decentralized AI future. In addition to taking the company through a token generation event, we have a lot of ground to cover to make this vision a reality.
