Bridging the Future: HeLa Labs’ Vision of AI and Blockchain Integration for a Decentralized Ecosystem

1. Could you start by giving us an overview of HeLa Labs and its mission in merging AI with blockchain technology?

Before introducing HeLa, let me tell you about myself. My name is Kerching, and I am currently the CTO at HeLa Labs. I have a background in game development, and now I’m leading HeLa’s tech innovation.

At HeLa Labs, we are focused on combining AI technology with blockchain to create innovative solutions for a wide range of industries. HeLa is a modular Layer 1 blockchain enabling AI infrastructure for Web2 and Web3 across various sectors, including gaming, DeFi, DePIN, and many more. Our mission is to build a blockchain platform that supports AI applications, allowing businesses to use decentralized tools in areas like gaming, finance, and more. By doing this, we aim to enable secure, efficient, and scalable systems that help both traditional and decentralized web applications.

2. HeLa is described as a modular Layer 1 blockchain. How does modular architecture improve scalability and flexibility for developers building on your platform?

Modular architecture is considered more scalable because it breaks systems into independent components, allowing teams to develop and deploy in parallel. This reduces bottlenecks and speeds up development. Maintenance is easier, as you can update individual modules without affecting the whole system. Modules can be scaled independently based on demand, optimizing resource usage. Additionally, different technologies can be used for different modules, promoting flexibility and innovation. Overall, this structure enhances collaboration and resilience, making it easier to adapt and grow as needs change.

3. The launch of HeLa’s mainnet is a big milestone. Can you tell us more about its significance and the potential impact it will have on the ecosystem?

The launch of HeLa’s mainnet is indeed a significant milestone, marking the full activation of our blockchain. This mainnet represents the live network where developers and users can start building and interacting with the HeLa ecosystem. Its significance lies in opening the platform to the public, enabling the creation of AI-powered decentralized applications (dApps).

The impact of this launch will be profound, especially in sectors such as gaming, DeFi, and AI infrastructure. It provides secure and scalable tools for developers, allowing them to innovate without the limitations of traditional systems. By fostering a vibrant ecosystem of dApps, we anticipate that the mainnet will drive growth and collaboration, ultimately enhancing user experiences across various industries.

4. You’ve collaborated with A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing in Singapore. How does this partnership enhance the technological capabilities of HeLa Labs?

Partnering with A*STAR’s Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) significantly strengthens HeLa Labs’ technological capabilities, particularly in developing its next-generation Layer 1 blockchain network.

5. The upcoming DApp ‘Game Hiro’ incubated by HeLa, aims to onboard millions of gamers to the HeLa chain. How does this DApp fit into your broader strategy to drive Web3 adoption?

The upcoming DApp Game Hiro, incubated by HeLa, is a key component of our strategy to drive Web3 adoption by onboarding millions of gamers to the HeLa chain. Our vision is to create real-life use cases for blockchain technology, addressing practical issues that users face.

Gaming represents a significant opportunity in this regard. By integrating a DApp like Game Hiro, we can provide users with direct access to blockchain functionalities in a familiar and engaging environment. This not only enhances user experience but also demonstrates the real-world applications of our technology.

In summary, by onboarding Game Hiro, we align with our broader strategy of making blockchain accessible and beneficial, thus fostering greater Web3 adoption in everyday life.

6. HeLa uses a stablecoin as the primary gas fee. How does this help in maintaining low and stable transaction fees, and what impact does this have on user experience?

Using a stablecoin as the primary gas fee on the HeLa chain is instrumental in maintaining low and stable transaction costs. Because stablecoins are pegged to the value of a real-world currency, they provide a predictable fee structure that remains consistent, even in volatile market conditions. This predictability helps eliminate the anxiety often associated with fluctuating fees in other blockchain networks.

From a user experience perspective, this stability enhances trust and usability. Users can confidently plan and execute transactions without worrying about sudden increases in fees, making the platform more accessible to both casual users and developers. Ultimately, this approach aligns with our mission to make blockchain technology practical and user-friendly, encouraging broader adoption.

7. What role does decentralized digital identity (DID) play in the HeLa ecosystem, and how does it empower users to control their identities in a transparent and secure way?

In the HeLa ecosystem, decentralized digital identity (DID) plays a crucial role by allowing users to create and manage their own identities securely. By leveraging verification from trusted entities, users can confidently control how their identity is shared and utilized through the HeLa wallet.

8. Lastly, with HeLa’s global offices and growing ecosystem, what’s next for the platform in terms of expanding its reach and continuing to innovate in the Web3 space?

As we look to the future, HeLa is committed to expanding its reach and continuing to innovate within the Web3 space. Our next steps include organizing offline development tours and hackathons to engage directly with our community and foster collaboration.
