Investors Go Wild for Solana AI Project: You Won’t Believe the Amount!

by

So, let me get this straight. Gradient Network, this fancy decentralized AI thingamajig on Solana, just pulled in a whopping $10 million in seed funding. Who’s behind this? Oh, just Pantera Capital and Multicoin Capital—no big deal, right? 😏

They announced this monumental funding milestone on June 17, 2025. I mean, what a date! It’s like they planned it. The cash is supposed to help them “democratize” the edge computing ecosystem. Sounds great, but what does that even mean? Are we all going to get a vote on our AI? 🗳️

Now, AI is everywhere, folks! It’s like that annoying friend who shows up uninvited. But with all this AI action, we’ve got some serious issues to tackle—privacy, equity, centralization. You know, the usual suspects. And here comes Gradient Network, waving its blockchain flag, trying to solve these problems. Good luck with that! 🙄

“This approach not only protects user privacy and democratizes access to AI but also mitigates the systemic biases entrenched in centralized systems,” they said in a blog post. Wow, they really think they’re onto something, huh? 🤔

They want to turn your everyday devices—smartphones, computers—into a decentralized global network. So, basically, your phone is going to be working harder than you are. Great! Just what I need! 😅

And let’s not forget, besides Pantera and Multicoin, this $10 million party also had HSG (formerly Sequoia Capital China) and a bunch of other big shots and angel investors. I mean, who doesn’t want to throw money at a project that sounds like it’s from a sci-fi movie? 💸

Gradient’s roadmap includes two flagship technologies: Lattica, a universal peer-to-peer data communication protocol, and Parallax, an inference protocol. Sounds impressive, right? But let’s be real, I can barely figure out how to connect my Wi-Fi! 📶

Decentralized physical infrastructure networks are all the rage now. Gradient is just one of many blockchain-based AI projects out there, joining the likes of io.net, DePHY, Aethir, metastreet, and CrunchDAO. It’s like a tech party, and everyone’s invited! 🎉
