\begin{abstract}
We present the Hanzo \emph{AI Chain}, the AI Virtual Machine (AIVM) and the
native economic substrate of the Hanzo Network. The AI Chain is a public
re-framing of the Lux A-Chain (LP-134, the unified attestation chain): the
same underlying ledger, certified by the same Quasar 3.0 three-lane post-quantum
consensus (LP-105), executed on the same QuasarGPU substrate (LP-132), and
scheduled by the same lane-based Quasar Software Transactional Memory model
(LP-010). Where Lux describes A-Chain as a settlement and attestation layer
for chains, Hanzo describes the AI Chain as the open AI protocol: a single
chain that mints \textbf{AI}, the native coin of Hanzo Network, and that hosts
on-chain registries for Hanzo Models (HMMs), agents, and three composable
compute markets (inference, training, GPU pool). Each compute job is
bound to a Trusted Execution Environment quote anchored on A-Chain; each
inference receipt is a Quasar-certified proof of correct execution; each
model is a content-addressed root with on-chain provenance, license, and
benchmark commitments. Confidential inference is delegated to F-Chain
(LP-013, LP-067 confidential ERC-20 patterns extended to model queries),
key custody to M-Chain, and bridging to B-Chain (LP-134). The AI Chain
activates on 25~December~2025 alongside Lux Quasar 3.0; the spec described
here is frozen as of 15~December~2025.
