Bitcoin miners burn through 150 terawatt-hours annually, enough to power Argentina, solving puzzles that vanish the moment they're completed. What if that computational power could instead train AI models that grow smarter with every block? The Amadeus Protocol claims to have cracked this code.

Amadeus uses that power for useful AI calculations, and this is one of the main innovations behind this whole project. The end result is what one may call a decentralized “thinking blockchain”. Simply put, every mined block helps to make and improve autonomous AI agents.

What is the Amadeus Protocol?

The Amadeus Protocol is a new type of blockchain that uses AI to make networks safer. Its useful proof of work (uPoW) system replaces traditional mining, which wastes resources, with calculations that help AI learn. This creates an economic model where mining simultaneously secures the network and advances AI capabilities.


According to Precedence Research, the AI agents sector is projected to grow from $7.9 billion in 2025 to $236 billion by 2034. Amadeus is positioning itself to serve this expanding market.


The Main New Ideas Proposed:

Real-World Applications

Self-Evolving AI Agents: Adaptive agents that use the Nova AI compiler and store improvements on the blockchain.Amadeus agents unlock multiple opportunities within this new ecosystem, trading assets, creating content, or autonomously operating business processes on the blockchain. Businesses gain access to cost-effective AI infrastructure thanks to low gas fees, while individuals can deploy AI agents with intelligent automation.

Differentiation in the Market

Self-Evolving AI Agents: Adaptive agents that use the Nova AI compiler and store improvements on the blockchain.While Render Network rents out idle GPUs and SingularityNET creates AI marketplaces, these platforms still waste energy on traditional blockchain consensus. Amadeus aims to align mining incentives with AI development, where computational power secures the network while training AI models.

The network is powered by the $AMA (1 billion maximum supply, mined through useful proof of work). A 100 million $AMA community treasury, SDKs, and AI tool grants incentivize innovation in AI development. The team is made up of former FAANG engineers and leaders from crypto projects worth billions of dollars.


"With hardware advancing rapidly, we anticipate our validator network expanding 10 to 100 times, creating a resilient foundation that enterprises can trust for mission-critical AI" said Ivan Svirid, Co-Founder of Amadeus Protocol.

Roadmap Ahead

As the project grows, the ambitions of Amadeus are becoming clear. For instance, here is an extract of the roadmap:

Bottom Line

Amadeus Protocol is an open-source blockchain pioneering autonomous intelligence through useful proof of work. By enabling self-evolving AI on a decentralized network, it addresses centralization and inefficiency in today’s AI infrastructure.


The protocol launched without pre-allocated coins to founders or investors. Coins are distributed through the mining process. This alignment ensures miners contribute genuine value rather than gaming empty incentives.
