😟 Why people are afraid of AI — and why this is normal

(post 2 of 7)

When people talk about artificial intelligence, many feel uneasy.
And this is not because of science fiction movies 🎬

The reasons are much more real.

People worry that:
• 📄 their data might be used somewhere else
• 👀 someone could read private information
• 📤 uploaded documents could “resurface” later
• 🔓 control might be lost at some point

These fears are not imaginary.

Everyone has heard stories:
• about data leaks
• about scandals with internal company documents
• about claims that someone had access to private conversations

And it all comes down to one simple question:

“Who actually controls my data?”

Here is the honest part.

In most AI services today, users do not have technical control.

There are rules.
There are promises.
There are privacy policies.

But there is no simple button for:
• ❌ “Never use this data again”
• ⛔ “Revoke access completely”
• ⏱️ “Allow access only for this action”

And this is what causes the most concern.

🧠 The problem is not that AI is “bad”.
The problem is that boundaries are unclear.

When boundaries are unclear, trust disappears.

This is where the key idea comes in.

Projects like Gonka AI are built around a different logic from the start:
AI cannot exist without access control.

That control must be:
• ✅ understandable
• 🎛️ manageable by the user
• 🔐 technical, not just based on words

And this is why we put so much focus on the wallet.
Not as a place to store tokens —
but as a point of control.

👉 In the next post, we’ll explain
why traditional AI services cannot provide this level of control by design,
and where their fundamental limitation lies.

Update on claiming mined GNK 👇

We see questions about when mined tokens can be claimed, and we want to share the current status.

At the moment, all mined GNK are held at our network node address.
The tokens are safe and will be distributed after we complete the wallet checks.

We are intentionally taking a short pause before claiming to make sure that:
• wallets are working correctly for users
• addresses are fully accessible by their owners
• sending and receiving transactions is stable

This is exactly why we previously launched the giveaway mentioned in the channel.

🏆 The winners will receive 10 GNK each and will take part in open transaction testing — sending tokens from their own addresses. This helps us verify that the wallet works properly in real-world conditions before mass distribution.

⏳ The giveaway results will be announced in 4 hours.

Once testing is completed, we will immediately move to claiming and distributing mined tokens for all participants.

We’ll keep you updated on the next steps.

🎉 Giveaway results & next steps 🎉

The giveaway is complete — Telegram has randomly selected 10 winners.
Congratulations to everyone who won, and thank you to all participants for taking part 🤍

This testing phase is an important step for us, and we really appreciate your involvement.


🧪 What winners need to do next

Each winner will receive 10 GNK for testing wallet transactions.

How to receive your GNK and testing instructions:
1️⃣ Make sure you have an active wallet in One World AI Wallet
2️⃣ Our team will contact the winners via One World AI wallet’s Telegram bot
3️⃣ You will receive:
• 10 GNK credited to your wallet
• step-by-step instructions for transaction testing

Please follow the instructions carefully and share feedback if anything feels unclear. This helps us ensure everything works smoothly before wider distribution.


🚀 What’s next: larger-scale testing

To continue testing at scale, we’re launching a new testing round.

🔔 We will select 100 participants randomly from channel subscribers.

Important requirement:
➡️ Participants must have a wallet created in One World AI Wallet.

This next phase will help us test transactions under broader, real-world conditions before enabling mass claiming of mined tokens.

More details about timing and selection will be shared very soon.

Thank you for being part of this process and helping us build reliable infrastructure step by step 💛

🚀 We’re now 4th among validators — thank you, community!

Today our validator reached 4th place in the overall validator ranking.
This is a strong result — and it didn’t happen by chance.

Thank you to everyone in the community 🤍
Your participation — running servers, testing, feedback, and patience — directly contributes to the growth of decentralized AI within the Gonka AI ecosystem.

This milestone is the result of a systematic, infrastructure-first approach.
We’re not just offering to spin up servers — we’re building the simplest and most reliable path into mining through One World AI Wallet.

The wallet is:
• a clear entry point
• a permission and access layer
• an easy way to participate in mining and AI infrastructure

This approach allows the ecosystem to scale while staying accessible to more people.

Very soon, we’ll continue our post series
on the value of the wallet in decentralized AI — stay tuned 👀

P.S.
All giveaway winners who had a valid gonka address have already received their 10 GNK 🎉

🤔 Why there is no real control in most AI services

(post 3 of 7)

Today, many people use AI every day.

✍️ Writing texts.
🎨 Generating images.
📄 Analyzing documents.

But there is one simple reality:

When you upload data to a typical AI service,
you send it to someone else’s server.

You don’t see:
• 🌍 where exactly it is processed
• 👀 who might have access to it
• ❌ whether you can permanently revoke that access

You simply trust.

Recently, I received documents from a partner.
And there was a note:

“Please do not upload these documents to AI.”

This has become normal.

Not because AI is “bad”.
But because people don’t clearly understand where their control ends.

Even large companies that pay for enterprise AI solutions
still mostly use cloud-based systems.

That’s convenient.
But convenience is not the same as full control.

And here it’s important to separate two things:

🤖 AI is a tool.
🔐 Control is infrastructure.

Most modern services are built around convenience.
We want to talk about control.

In the next post, we’ll explore
what blockchain can change in this conversation
and why it becomes relevant here.

This is 3 of 7.
More soon 👀

I see your questions — about Claim, dashboard updates, and the current market situation. 📈
That focus makes sense. We’re all here for results.

Right now, we’re strengthening the infrastructure behind everything you see.

Claiming tokens, wallet stability, correct address generation, reliable transactions — all of this must work smoothly and predictably. Blockchain requires precision, so we move carefully to ensure every step is technically solid before scaling further. 🔐

Our Web3 wallet is more than storage.
It’s your entry point into the ecosystem and direct control over your assets — without intermediaries.

We’re building it so participation in the Gonka AI network feels simple on the outside, while the technical complexity remains inside the system. ⚙️

Markets move quickly.
Strong foundations are built thoughtfully.

Our current focus is exactly that — building a stable base that allows us to move forward with confidence and scale sustainably. 🚀

Protocol Update: Collateral Requirement for ML Nodes from Epoch 180

Starting from epoch 180, the Gonka AI protocol introduces a collateral requirement for ML nodes.

We are technically prepared for this update. The required collateral will be provided shortly. No action is needed from participants. This is another advantage of working with us — we handle all infrastructure tasks on our side and implement changes on time to keep the system stable and predictable. ⚙️

The collateral is calculated using the formula of 0.032 GNK per unit of power.
In our current configuration, this equals approximately 82 GNK per server.

We are currently running 38 servers.
To maintain full weight, we will allocate approximately 3,428 GNK as collateral (including a 10% additional reserve).

The collateral is applied at the level of our network node account, not at the level of user accounts. It is locked to support validator weight and can later be released through the unbonding mechanism. 🔐

This is another step in the evolution of the protocol and the strengthening of its economic model.

We continue operating as usual and adjust our strategy in line with network developments. 🚀

Planned Update — Temporary Maintenance

Today we are deploying a major system update. ⚙️

For approximately 2 hours, our applications will be temporarily unavailable.

This update includes:
• preparation for the upcoming token Claim functionality
• integration groundwork for token swap inside the wallet
• internal stability improvements

We’re taking this time to ensure the next stage of wallet functionality works smoothly and reliably.

Once the update is complete, we’ll confirm here in the channel.

Thank you for your patience while we continue building. 🚀

✅ Update Completed

The system update is complete and all applications are back online. 🚀

Claim and swap are not yet available for use, but all core infrastructure for these functions has now been prepared. The next step will be enabling them publicly.

This release also includes a major upgrade to the referral program.

You can already log in and check your referral dashboard — there are significant

Please note: the notification feature is temporarily disabled in the referral cabinet.
Expected commissions can be checked directly in the transaction history section.
