Quick Take
- GatlingX has developed GPU-EVM, claimed to be the most performant Ethereum Virtual Machine in development.
- It will leverage GPU chips to perform large EVM operations in parallel, greatly enhancing transactional throughput.
Training AI agents for smart contract security
The GPU-EVM is designed to support the training of AI agents within a parallel simulation environment, according to Eito Miyamura, co-founder, who spoke with The Block. These agents are being trained to detect and leverage vulnerabilities in smart contracts, a process the team compares to the strategic gameplay involved in defeating Go world champions, reminiscent of the AlphaGo scenario of the mid-2010s.
The technology, comparable to Nvidia’s Isaac Gym and Google’s Brax, enables parallel simulations on GPUs for accelerated reinforcement learning training and has broad applications, Miyamura added.
The initial phase of GPU-EVM’s rollout focuses on creating hardware-scaled EVM infrastructure that facilitates the training of AI and RL models. These models will interact with various elements such as accelerated Layer 2 solutions, maximal extractable value (MEV) operations, and backtesting scenarios.
The subsequent phase, expected within a year, will include providing API access for high-performance computing applications with the ultimate goal of surpassing human capabilities in securing smart contracts and decentralized applications.
