Smart contracts have been live on Ethereum for 11 years.
& on their own, they still can't read a webpage.
Everything they know has to be fed to them as a clean number. Prices. Timestamps. Balances.
The real world is messier. News articles, PDFs, agreements written in English, two sources that disagree.
That's the gap
@GenLayer built Intelligent Contracts for.

โข fetch & read live web pages
โข process text, PDFs & images
โข follow rules written in plain English
โข use AI to judge outcomes that aren't a simple yes or no
โข settle the result on-chain
๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ฒ ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ญ
โข 5 random validators check each result
โข each one runs a different model or config
โข majority rules
โข appeal it & the panel jumps to 11, then 23, then 47
โข around 30 minutes in the normal case
The clever bit: two answers can be worded differently & still count as the same answer. The developer decides what "equivalent" means. That's how a group of different AIs reach agreement.

โข prediction markets resolved from live news
โข insurance that pays out on flight delays & droughts
โข escrow between AI agents that checks the work was actually done
โข marketing deals where brands only pay for real results
โข oracles that settle questions instead of trusting one data provider
The agents are coming either way. They'll need contracts that can read.
