• Abstract: We present PromptChain, a decentralized Web3 architecture that establishes AI prompts as first-class digital assets with verifiable ownership, version control, and monetization capabilities. Current centralized platforms lack mechanisms for proper attribution, quality assurance, or fair compensation for prompt creators. PromptChain addresses these limitations through a novel integration of IPFS for immutable storage, smart contracts for governance, and token incentives for community curation. Our design includes: (1) a comprehensive metadata schema for cross-model compatibility, (2) a stake-weighted validation mechanism to align incentives, and (3) a token economy that rewards contributors proportionally to their impact. The proposed architecture demonstrates how decentralized systems could potentially match centralized alternatives in efficiency while providing superior ownership guarantees and censorship resistance through blockchain-anchored provenance tracking. By decoupling prompts from specific AI models or outputs, this work establishes the foundation for an open ecosystem of human-AI collaboration in the Web3 era, representing the first systematic treatment of prompts as standalone digital assets with dedicated decentralized infrastructure.

  We design a Graph Attention Network (GAT)-based reliable block propagation optimization framework for blockchain-enabled Web 3.0. To achieve the reliability of block propagation, we introduce a reputation mechanism based on the subjective logic model. Considering that the GAT possesses the excellent ability to process graph-structured data, we utilize the GAT with reinforcement learning to obtain the optimal block propagation trajectory.
