BOHR Chain's "AI Protocol" $2M raise: technical architecture seems non-existent

1•Kangaroo_•1h ago
I saw this press release floating around about BOHR Chain raising strategic funds to "redefine the AI protocol economy" and decided to do a quick technical due diligence check.

I tried to audit their underlying architecture to see how they are actually handling the AI consensus on-chain. The math just isn't there.

From what I can see, their public repositories (if you can find them) show zero activity consistent with building a novel Layer-1 or even a complex L2. The "AI integration" appears to be purely semantic marketing fluff rather than actual Solidity or Rust logic. I ran a quick check on the contract structures usually associated with this project, and they look like generic templates with no custom logic to support their claims.

Also, the "VC" firm mentioned (GemHead Capital) seems to have no track record or portfolio outside of these PR loops.

Code never lies. This looks like a classic case of a high marketing budget with absolutely zero engineering underneath. Has anyone here actually managed to interact with their testnet, or is this just another vaporware liquidity trap?
