\section{Conclusion}

\label{sec:conclusion}

We have presented Hanzo ACI, a blockchain architecture purpose-built for decentralized AI compute markets. The Proof of AI (PoAI) mechanism achieves 99.7\% malicious provider detection at 0.3\% verification overhead by combining TEE attestations with statistical sampling. The dual-track consensus architecture achieves 12,000 job matches per second with 200ms latency while maintaining 2-second settlement finality. The AI-native virtual machine reduces gas costs by 73\% compared to equivalent Ethereum L2 implementations. Formal security proofs establish that honest computation is the Nash equilibrium of the PoAI game, and testnet evaluation with 100 validators and 500 workers validates the system's performance and security properties under realistic conditions.

\paragraph{Hanzo AI Chain (AIVM).}
The compute markets, TEE attestation primitives, and PoAI verification described above are deployed on the Hanzo AI Chain, the AI Virtual Machine (AIVM) that re-frames Lux's unified A-Chain (LP-134) as the open AI protocol for the Hanzo Network. AI Chain mints the native \textbf{AI} coin, hosts the on-chain HMM and agent registries, and inherits Lux Quasar 3.0 three-lane post-quantum finality (LP-105) along with QuasarGPU execution (LP-132) and QuasarSTM lane scheduling (LP-010). See the companion paper \emph{Hanzo AI Chain (AIVM)} (\texttt{\textasciitilde/work/hanzo/papers/hanzo-ai-chain/}) for the full architecture, AI tokenomics, and the 25 December 2025 activation roadmap.
