## Abstract (arXiv)

Web3 and AI have been among the most discussed fields over the recent years, with substantial hype surrounding each field's potential to transform the world as we know it. However, as the hype settles, it's evident that neither AI nor Web3 can address all challenges independently. Consequently, the intersection of AI and Web3 is gaining increased attention, emerging as a new field with the potential to address the limitations of each. In this article, we will focus on the integration of web3 and the AI marketplace, where AI services and products can be provided in a decentralized manner (DeAI). A comprehensive review is provided by summarizing the opportunities and challenges on this topic. Additionally, we offer analyses and solutions to address these challenges. We've developed a framework that lets users pay with any kind of cryptocurrency to get AI services. Additionally, they can also enjoy AI services for free on our platform by simply locking up their assets temporarily in the protocol. This unique approach is a first in the industry. Before this, offering free AI services in the web3 community wasn't possible. Our solution opens up exciting opportunities for the AI marketplace in the web3 space to grow and be widely adopted.
