What is Cortex (CTXC)?
Source description
“Cortex is built on a new public chain called Cortex. The chain includes AI algorithms that support smart contracts, which means anyone can use Cortex to add AI to their smart contracts. It also creates an incentive mechanism for collective collaboration, allowing anyone to submit and optimize models in Cortex, while model contributors can also be rewarded. The end result of Cortex, according to the whitepaper, is the creation of “artificial general intelligence”, or AGI, “being born on the Cortex”. Cortex completed a private token sale in February/March 2018 for its CTXC tokens. That funding round was led by Bitmain and FBG Capital, among other well-known investors in the cryptocurrency space. Placing artificial intelligence systems on the blockchain isn’t a straightforward process. However, Cortex will solve this problem by allowing machine learning researchers around the world to upload well-trained corresponding data models to the storage layer of the Cortex public chain. Other users who need these AI models can make inferences using the models, then pay the person who developed those models. At each inference, a full node synchronizes the model and the data from the storage tier to the local site. Making an inference using Cortex’s unique virtual machine, or CVM, will synchronize the results to the whole network and then return the result. Every time a user initiates a transaction on the Cortex, opens a smart contract, or performs an intelligence inference, the user will need to pay a certain number of “Endorphin” tokens. Endorphin is the pricing unit for transactions on Cortex. However, the platform will have two tokens, including Endorphins and Cortex Coins (CTXC).”

Cortex (CTXC) FAQ
How does Cortex Virtual Machine support AI-enabled smart contracts?
The project states that its Cortex Virtual Machine, or CVM, enables smart contracts to perform machine-learning inferences. When an inference is executed, the relevant model and data are synchronized from the storage layer to a local site, while the result is synchronized across the network before being returned.
How can model developers contribute to the Cortex ecosystem?
Cortex presents a collaborative model marketplace in which machine-learning researchers can upload trained models to the chain’s storage layer. Users needing those models can perform inferences through smart contracts, and the project says contributors may receive rewards when their models are used.
What role does Endorphin play in Cortex transactions?
The project describes Endorphin as Cortex’s pricing unit. Users are expected to pay Endorphin when initiating transactions, opening smart contracts, or performing intelligence inferences. Cortex also distinguishes Endorphin from CTXC, presenting them as two separate tokens with different roles within the platform.
How does Cortex handle model-based inference across its network?
According to the project, a full node synchronizes the selected model and related data from the storage tier to a local site whenever an inference is requested. The CVM then processes the request, synchronizes the result across the network, and returns the outcome to the user or smart contract.
What token allocation does Cortex describe for mining rewards?
Cortex states that its total supply is 299,792,458 CTXC, with 50.03%, or 150 million tokens, reserved for coin miners as mining rewards. It also lists allocations for the foundation, Cortex Lab, marketing, challenge bounties, advisors, academia, and the community.
Cortex metric comparison
This comparison is a stored snapshot generated 2026-10-23 06:31 UTC from 283 daily observations available from 2025-12-30 through 2026-10-22. It is separate from the latest analytical cards above. Percentiles compare the snapshot value with that day's analytical universe; a higher percentile means a larger observed value, not necessarily a better investment characteristic.

Editorial research. Identity, project facts, sources, and risks below belong to the dated editorial review. The live analytical snapshot above may be newer and is generated separately from stored market data.
Cortex documentation identifies CTXC as the native token used to pay for computational resources in the Cortex Virtual Machine; the network supports AI contracts and charges execution fees.
Risks and open questions
AI-model availability, network usage and mining economics are time-sensitive; technical docs do not guarantee application adoption.
YearBull Rank overview
Most recent YearBull Rank reading for cortex is #4152.
Rank timeline (last 365 days)
Rank movement (nearest daily data).
Reading rule: lower is better in this ranking.
7d window: no reference point available.
30d window: no reference point available.
Phase read: If the 30d is noisy, increase the lookback to avoid over-reading. cycle pressure can surface as slow bleed in rank.
Where it trades: If rank deteriorates while the curve stays smooth, it can be cohort strength shifting. consolidation can make rank more stable.
Liquidity angle: If the curve improves and holds, it is usually more structural. bursty volume can create temporary re-ordering.
Risk note: If it is flat for long, the coin may be tracking the cohort. big jumps can be data-driven, but also rotation-driven.
YearBull Rank is a comparative index on YearBull that helps contextualize a coin’s position versus others over time. It is best read as relative context across time windows, not as a guarantee.
