Ritual (RITUAL) Introduction: Token Full Name (English): Ritual Token Full Name (Chinese): - Token Symbol: RITUAL Total Supply: 10,000,000,000 Token Type: Mainnet Token, BEP-20 Contract Address: https://explorer.ritualfoundation.org Project Introduction: Ritual is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for autonomous AI Agents. AI is natively integrated on this chain: smart contracts can directly call Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI models, access external APIs, and achieve self-scheduled execution. Simultaneously, sensitive data is processed within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), and the computation results are settled on-chain through cryptographic proofs (Attestation). This makes it possible to build agents and applications that run entirely on-chain, covering diverse scenarios such as agents managing their own funds, enterprises operated by agents, and private AI assistants.
