# Architecture

Vanna is an EVM-compatible blockchain that can support native AI/ML inference directly computed, secured, and verified on-chain. The network will store both generic block data and inference transaction data onto a DA layer.

The Vanna Network also has its own decentralized filestore layer built off of an IPFS swarm. The CID hash from model storage is used as the model identifier on the Vanna Network for inference.

For a better understanding of the data flow of on-chain inference and how it works on the Vanna Network, take a look at the data flow diagram below.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vannalabs.ai/vanna-network/architecture.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
