Decentralized machine learning network where nodes are rewarded for producing useful AI model outputs. The largest decentralised AI marketplace by market cap.
GPU rendering marketplace connecting artists and AI developers with idle GPU providers. Processing AI model training and inference at scale.
Platform for autonomous AI agents that negotiate, transact, and execute tasks on-chain. Core infrastructure of the ASI Alliance alongside AGIX and OCEAN.
Indexing protocol that enables decentralised querying of blockchain data. Foundational infrastructure for AI models that need on-chain data feeds.
Open-source cloud compute marketplace providing permissionless GPU access at prices significantly below centralised cloud providers.
AI algorithm marketplace where developers publish, sell, and purchase AI services using AGIX tokens. Co-founded by Ben Goertzel, targeting AGI development.
Data marketplace enabling datasets to be published, discovered, and consumed by AI models while preserving privacy and ownership rights.
Global identity protocol using iris biometrics to distinguish humans from AI bots. Proof-of-personhood layer for the AI-native internet.
Merger token representing the combined FET, AGIX, and OCEAN ecosystems. Aims to build decentralised AGI infrastructure independent of major tech companies.
Distributed GPU network aggregating idle compute from data centres, crypto miners, and consumer hardware for AI inference and training.
Open-source protocol for building, deploying, and monetising autonomous AI agents. Agents operate across multiple blockchains, executing complex multi-step tasks.
Launchpad for tokenised AI agents that can be co-owned and monetised. Each agent earns revenue that flows back to token holders.
Decentralised web scraping network where users earn GRASS by contributing bandwidth to collect training data for AI models.
Data science tournament where AI/ML models compete on encrypted financial data to predict markets. Correct predictions earn NMR; wrong ones are burned.
Decentralised AI model training protocol enabling parallelised deep learning across geographically distributed hardware. Backed by a16z and Coinbase Ventures.
On-chain AI agents specialising in DeFi strategy execution, credit scoring, and autonomous financial operations.
Modular AI blockchain with a decentralised storage and data availability layer purpose-built for AI model weights and training datasets.
Solana-based GPU grid for AI inference workloads. Targets cost-efficient deployment of open-source AI models at scale.
Decentralized network for blind computation — processing AI workloads on sensitive data without revealing the underlying data to any node.
Decentralized network for deploying personal AI agents (Smart Agents) that can interact with DeFi protocols, wallets, and Web3 applications autonomously.
Consumer platform for creating and deploying personalised AI assistants built on top of open-source models, with a token economy for creators.
GPU marketplace targeting AI inference specifically, with pricing transparency and SLA guarantees not available on traditional cloud providers.
Blockchain platform for running AI model inference on-chain, enabling smart contracts to call machine learning models directly.
Decentralised human-in-the-loop AI platform where workers complete AI training tasks (data labelling, content moderation) and earn EFX tokens.
Decentralised AI data platform focused on building verifiable provenance for AI training datasets, backed by Binance Labs and Coinbase Ventures.
Layer 1 blockchain for the economy of machines, enabling AI-driven devices (robots, vehicles, sensors) to own wallets, earn, and transact autonomously.
AI agent infrastructure for Web3 that enables agents to navigate decentralised applications, execute transactions, and interact with protocols autonomously.
Distributed AI training coordination protocol enabling collaborative model training across decentralised compute providers with verifiable contributions.
Natural language interface for Web3 that allows users to execute on-chain transactions, swap tokens, and interact with DeFi via conversational AI.
AI agent framework for autonomous DeFi strategy execution, risk management, and portfolio rebalancing with on-chain verifiability.
