A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system with blockchain would likely reside as a Layer 2 solution, built on top of the base blockchain code.
This would allow the RAG system to leverage the security, transparency, and decentralization of the blockchain, while also providing a flexible and scalable architecture for the RAG logic and functionality.
In this scenario, the base blockchain code would provide the foundation for the RAG system, including the core consensus mechanisms, data storage, and security features.
The RAG system would then be built as a Layer 2 solution, utilizing smart contracts, sidechains, or other scaling solutions to implement the retrieval and generation logic, and interact with the underlying blockchain.
This layered approach would enable the RAG system to be developed and optimized independently of the base blockchain code, while still benefiting from the security and decentralization provided by the blockchain.
Some possible locations for a RAG system with blockchain include:
- Hive's Layer 2: Building a RAG system on top of Hive's Layer 2, utilizing smart contracts and other scaling solutions to implement the retrieval and generation logic.
- Polkadot's Substrate: Developing a RAG system on Polkadot's Substrate, a modular framework for building blockchain applications.
- Ethereum's Optimism: Building a RAG system on Ethereum's Optimism, a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum.
By residing as a Layer 2 solution, the RAG system would be able to leverage the strengths of the underlying blockchain, while also providing a flexible and scalable architecture for the retrieval and generation logic.

Is a RAG system a vector database?
Yes elaborate on this.
