The Intelligence Behind the Scent

Nosy isn’t just a sensor. It is a self-improving intelligence system for the world of smell.

At the heart of our breakthrough platform are two interwoven technologies: the Large Essence Model (LEM) and Proof of Emergent Measurements (PoEM).

Together, they form the engines of our decentralized scent intelligence network.

LEM: The Large Essence Model

Just as Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT understand human text, the Large Essence Model (LEM) is trained to understand scent. Using a transformer-based AI architecture and federated learning, LEM translates the complex signatures of volatile compounds into meaningful insights.

How LEM Works:

  • Molecular to Meaningful: This process turns raw molecular signals into actionable classifications, such as identifying spoiled food, airborne toxins, or a specific wine varietal.

  • Adaptive & Private: Learns from millions of real-world data points without ever storing personal information, using privacy-preserving federated learning.

  • Always Evolving: LEM constantly adapts to new compounds and environmental changes via decentralized, verified updates.

  • Distributed Inference: LEM runs across a global network of registered nodes, delivering low-latency, high-accuracy scent classification at the edge or in the cloud.

PoEM: Proof of Emergent Measurements

LEM’s intelligence depends on trustworthy data. That’s where PoEM comes in. PoEM is a decentralized, cryptographically secured validation system that filters, clusters, and rewards high-quality scent data in real time.

What Makes PoEM Special:

  • Statistical Trust Layer: This layer uses clustering and anomaly detection to confirm the reliability of scent data from thousands of contributors.

  • Smart Incentives: Validated contributions earn $Nosy tokens. Outliers and fraudulent data are penalized automatically.

  • Transparent Missions: Community-defined scent missions let users collect data with a purpose, like monitoring air quality, profiling wine aromas, or detecting narcotics.

  • On-Chain Auditability: Every data submission, validation, and reward is recorded on-chain for complete transparency and traceability.


A closed feedback loop

  1. Devices capture volatile compound data from the physical world.

  2. PoEM validates and filters this data in real-time across a decentralized network.

  3. LEM trains on this validated data, improving its scent classification abilities.

  4. New insights flow back to users and devices via decentralized inference.

This architecture transforms scent from a forgotten sense into a continuously evolving layer of machine-readable meaning, unlocking vast potential for safety, health, commerce, and creativity.
