Building
a better Future with Decentralized AI 

We empower high-impact Web3 projects & subnets that drive real-world change

Mission
We bring Asia’s top AI talents
to build high-impact Web3 x AI projects that drive real-world change

In the past two decades, inequality has grown, social divides have deepened, and the web has become increasingly centralized. The consolidation of AI development among a few major players reinforces those trends by widening gaps and embedding bias into the tools we all use. Meanwhile, Bitcoin has entered the mainstream as Web3's foundational layer and the core infrastructure for Web3 is now in place.

This moment calls for decisive action. Decentralized AI can put transformative technology in everyone's hands while correcting the biases and distortions in today's web.

Mission

We bring Asia’s top AI talents to build high-impact Web3 x AI projects that drive real-world change

In the past two decades, inequality has grown, social divides have deepened, and the web has become increasingly centralized. The rise of AI, controlled by a few major players, risks reinforcing those trends—widening gaps and embedding bias into the tools we all use. At the same time, Bitcoin has entered the mainstream as Web3's foundational layer and the core infrastructure for Web3 is now in place. Now is the time to focus on decentralized AI— to put AI technology in the hands of people and correct the biases and distortions embedded in today's web services.

Background

The macro trend post-COVID has made it difficult for emerging market AI entrepreneurs to secure traditional VC funding

"Higher market rates environment"
"Expansionary fiscal and/or monetary policy"

01

Reduced allocation to high-risk, non-dollar denominated assets (e.g., overseas VC)

02

Bitcoin as inflation hedge

03

AI arms race (fueled by excess liquidity) benefiting only a few major players in the US & China
Decentralized AI

Decentralized AI(dAI) provides
a better AI infrastructure and funding mechanism, especially for those outside the mainstream

Reduced allocation to high-risk,
Non-dollar denominated assets
(e.g., overseas VC)


  # of users ∝ network value

  Crypto capital tend to stay within crypto, seeking asymmetric return 

The need to tackle
the inefficiencies & democratic threats of centralized
AI will increase


 Promote inclusiveness & open competition, transcending borders

  Mitigate biases

  Leverage idle resources of the world

  Enhance transparency & security
