Welcome to our monthly roundup! August has been a month of exciting launches, milestones, and community-driven initiatives. Let’s dive into the highlights.
1. zkImagine Launches on ZKsync
zkImagine is our new NFT collection powered by Heurist’s AI image generation capabilities. Users can create unique artworks using text prompts and mint them as NFTs onchain.
Thanks to our partnership with Zyfi, we’ve integrated Paymaster feature into zkImagine minting. This means zero gas fees for users when minting NFTs. We believe this will significantly lower the barrier to entry for NFT creation and ownership.

2. 1 Billion Inference Requests Processed
We’ve hit a major milestone: over 1 billion total inference requests processed! You can check out the live stats at https://heurist.ai/portal.
Season 2 mining is progressing smoothly. After cutting down our mining emission rates, we’ve seen a reduction in active GPUs. Our API service quality remains stable. We consistently have over 1,000 Nvidia 4090s active in our network, ensuring robust performance for Stable Diffusion and LLM inference.
Our dynamic emission system functions as expected. The annualized mining emission rate is close to 2.1% (0.04% of total token supply per week). This ensures sustainable rewards to miners, and avoids excessive token emission that doesn’t serve real demand for compute.
3. Governance Update: Heurist Heroes Game
The community has approved a 50,000 HEU token grant for the development of Heurist Heroes Game. This 2D endless shooter combines skill-based gameplay with community engagement.
Key features:
- Endless shooter format with waves of enemies
- Rewards for high scores and in-game achievements
- Quizzes to test your knowledge in AI
- Daily cap of 100 Heurist Points to encourage consistent engagement
The game aims to boost community participation, enhance user experience, and drive growth. It’s still in development, but you can check out this demo video

4. Create-to-Earn Campaign Kickoff
We’ve successfully completed Sprint 0 of our Create-to-Earn campaign. This test run helped us refine our innovative reward mechanism. Here’s a quick overview:
- Users create artwork using Heurist Imagine
- Mint creations as zkImagine NFTs
- Share artwork and engage with the community
- Earn rewards from two pools: Pool 1 (Minting Rewards) and Pool 2 (Leaderboard Rewards)
Based on the success of Sprint 0, we’re gearing up to increase rewards for next month. Stay tuned for more details on how you can participate and earn.
