Happy to announce @Nevermined_io's $4MM seed led by @genventurecap along with @polymorphiccap, @halo__xyz, @arca, @david_enim, @benfielding, & others. I wanted to expand on what we're building. The AI agent economy isn't some far future thing - it's literally happening rn. If you've been watching @virtuals_io, @ai16zdao, @aixbt_agent, etc. you know AI agents are already moving hundreds of millions in value. Every time an AI agent makes a prediction, processes data, or executes a trade, it incurs real compute & data costs. Right now, there's no native way for agents to handle these economics themselves. This is the critical bottleneck: We can build sophisticated AI agents that analyze markets & make decisions, but they can't manage their own resources. What we built at Nevermined is the protocol that turns every AI computation into a permissionless transaction. When an agent needs to process data or run inference, it can autonomously price & settle that computation. This matters because the next wave of AI agents won't just trade tokens - they'll form complex networks & swarms, sharing compute & data. Without proper financial infrastructure, this ecosystem hits a wall. We’ll be shipping some exciting stuff soon & we’re actively hiring! If you're building AI agents or just get why this matters, my DMs are open.
