Definitions and Acronyms

Core concepts

  • DeAI TPA, Decentralized AI Teleport Plaque Address, the AI model and infrastructure that powers the spatial web.

  • TPA, Teleport Plaque Address, on-chain address that maps a URL or service to an immersive or AI destination.

  • Spatial web, the internet experienced in 3D space across headsets, mobile, and WebXR.

  • 3D immersive internet, a web where pages become interactive scenes and environments.

Network and tokens

  • TPAI Chain, AI-native Layer 1 blockchain linked to cloud compute, optimized for low fees and fast confirmation.

  • TPCoin.ai (TPC), utility token that subsidizes AI compute and powers the ecosystem economy.

  • TPAI-20, token standard on the TPAI Chain for fungible tokens such as TPC.

  • Gas fee, small on-chain fee paid to process transactions.

  • Finality, time until a transaction becomes irreversible on the chain.

  • Throughput (TPS), transactions processed per second.

AI building blocks

  • LLM, large language model used for text, code, reasoning tasks.

  • AGI, artificial general intelligence, human-level capability across domains.

  • ASI, artificial superintelligence, exceeds human capability across domains.

  • Multimodal, models that handle text, images, audio, video, or 3D together.

  • Inference, running a trained model to get outputs.

  • Fine-tuning, adapting a base model with domain data.

  • RAG, retrieval augmented generation, models that read from external knowledge at runtime.

  • AI agent, autonomous system that plans, calls tools, and takes actions to achieve goals.

DeAI TPA components

  • TPA endpoint, the callable address for a 3D scene or AI service.

  • Addressing layer, system that resolves TPAs to content, compute, or services.

  • Programmable permissions, rules that control who can read, write, invoke, or pay for a TPA.

  • Model hosting, deploy custom models behind a TPA with usage billing.

  • Subsidized compute, compute credits funded by TPC or protocol incentives.

Commerce and payments

  • Stablecoin, crypto asset pegged to a fiat currency, used for settlement.

  • POS with TPA, point-of-sale flow using a TPA as the merchant endpoint.

  • Usage-based billing, pay per request, token, minute, or scene visit.

  • Revenue share, automatic split of earnings between contributors.

Data, security, and governance

  • On-chain log, immutable record of key actions and state.

  • Provenance, verifiable trail of how assets, data, or models were produced.

  • ACL, access control list, permissions for identities and contracts.

  • KYC or AML, compliance checks for certain business flows if required.

  • Auditability, ability to verify behavior, spend, and performance.

Devices and runtimes

  • WebXR, browser standard for VR and AR experiences.

  • Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, Samsung XR, Apple Glasses, representative spatial devices supported.
