Great question! PoI verifies that miners actually executed the inference workloads they claimed. It's a cryptographic proof mechanism that prevents miners from faking results.

Think of it as an auditor for the network. Without PoI, there's no way to trust that miners are honest. It's foundational infrastructure.

That makes sense, thanks Admin! So it's like a quality assurance layer for the entire network?

Exactly! Without verification, the incentive structure would break down. PoI keeps everyone honest.
