Very excited to share the news that Textile 🤝 3Box Labs are joining forces. Merging companies is no small effort, but doing it enabled us to bring together two great teams in web3 data infrastructure. Our combined ecosystem now supports 50,000+ developers building on our protocols. For years, we've operated as friendly competitors sharing core values: public networks, developer-first approaches, and open data flows. Now we're uniting because we see the same future emerging - one where AI augments every application and replaces some, data flows freely, and open protocols win. We're building the infrastructure layer that makes this possible, backed by an incredible coalition of supporters and collaborators, including @collabland, @LitProtocol, @oceanprotocol, @IndexNetwork, @protocollabs, @Filecoin, @WeatherXM, @autonolas, and @gitcoin. Our vision is clear: a future where knowledge flows freely, collaboration beats competition, and systems stay open. And we're moving fast, so expect new launches, major partnership announcements, and new community updates in the coming weeks. This merger is just the beginning. Follow @textileio to be part of what comes next. 👀 coindesk.com/business/2025/0… Read more above ^
