FAQ
General
Is ChainMemory free?
Yes. The Faucet plan is free and includes memory storage, context injection, and Project Brain (the Project State viewer). The faucet gives you free AIC to interact with the blockchain.
Are my memories private?
Yes. Your memories are only accessible with your API key. The only public data are the on-chain hashes (which reveal nothing about content) and the verification endpoint (which exposes only metadata, never content).
What if the AI generated incorrect content in a memory?
Memories capture what was said in the conversation. If the AI generated incorrect information and you saved it, that memory will reflect the error. You can archive incorrect memories and the Consolidation Engine will prioritize the most recent ones.
Can I use ChainMemory with local models?
Yes, via the REST API. Any application that makes HTTP calls can save and retrieve memories. You can also configure the MCP server with local or self-hosted models.
What is the Consolidation Engine?
It's a pipeline that analyzes your memories using an AI model and extracts structured information: decisions, milestones, risks, stack. The result is the Project State, whose hash is anchored on-chain.
What happens if my AI says contradictory things across sessions?
The Consolidation Engine handles contradictions through temporal precedence: newer memories supersede older ones. Superseded decisions remain in the state with a "superseded" status, so you always have the full history. See Conflict Resolution for details.
Can I export my data?
Yes. All your memories and project states are accessible via the REST API. You can fetch them in JSON format and process them however you need.
