Build on GenLayer

Everything you need to go from zero to a live Intelligent Contract on GenLayer step by step. GenLayer lets you write AI-powered smart contracts in Python that read the web, call LLMs, and reach consensus on-chain.

Step-by-Step: How to Build on GenLayer

Follow these 8 steps from understanding the protocol all the way to submitting your project and earning builder rewards. Click any step to expand it.

GenLayer is the world's first blockchain with Intelligent Contracts AI-powered smart contracts written in Python that can read the web in real time, call LLMs (like GPT-4 or Llama), and reach consensus across multiple AI validators. Unlike Solidity contracts, they handle ambiguous, real-world logic.
