Chainlink Functions

• Chainlink Functions enables Tunnl to fetch offchain data from the X API via Chainlink's Decentralized Oracle Network (DON) and verifies that content meets offer requirements using a customized AI query.

• The AI verification script is stored offchain in a private repository and is fetched and executed by the Chainlink DON.

  • This enables Tunnl to maintain privacy and retain intellectual property rights for its custom AI verification logic, while ensuring all contracts which handle user funds are public and open source.

  • The private verification scripts are verified via a SHA hash to ensure source code integrity.

• Each node in the Chainlink DON executes the verification script separately before aggregating results and returning a single onchain result.

  • This significantly reduces the risk of AI hallucination in the content verification process.

• The secure and reliable infrastructure of Chainlink Functions enables Tunnl to offer a completely decentralized and trust-less system for AI content verification and payments.
