Zuvu AI, a well-funded and rapidly expanding decentralized intelligence platform formerly recognized as SocialTensor, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Vana ($VANA), an EVM-compatible layer one (L1) blockchain concentrating on tokenizing and monetizing user data via DataDAOs. This partnership aims to promote the decentralized adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).

Integrating Bittensor's subnet network with Vana's data layer and Zuvu's economy layer will create an optimal environment for data tokens and foster the growth of their DataDAO ecosystem.

"Vana is revolutionizing decentralized AI by making user-owned data a core asset. With this partnership, we aim to achieve an integration of Vana's data layer with Bittensor's subnet network and Zuvu's economy layer, unlocking optimal possibilities for data tokens and accelerating the growth of our DataDAO ecosystem," highlighted Art Abal, Managing Director at Vana Foundation.

The artificial intelligence (AI) sector has witnessed a remarkable surge in recent years, particularly with the significant investments from tech giants like Microsoft, which has contributed over $10 billion to OpenAI, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, among others. The utilization of AI to revolutionize content creation has been heavily incorporated into the blockchain and web3 ecosystems, aiming to ensure sustainable and scalable protocols.

However, the existence of numerous siloed AI decentralized networks has posed a challenge to the efficient growth and monetization of user data. To address this, the Zuvu AI network has partnered with Vana, which recently announced a strategic investment from YZi Labs - formerly Binance Labs - and welcomed Changpeng Zhao (CZ) as an advisor, to further monetize their data nodes.

"This partnership is about building a fully decentralized AI ecosystem where data, compute, and economic incentives converge to create real-world utility. By integrating these layers, we’re unlocking new monetization pathways and enabling AI to deliver tangible value beyond traditional models," added Daniel Raissar, COO at Zuvu AI.

The Zuvu AI protocol has already built and scaled four active subnets in the Bittensor ecosystem. Notably, the Bittensor network, a major AI ecosystem, has facilitated more than 3.1 million transfers since its inception.

Last year, Zuvu AI, through SocialTensor, launched NicheTensor API, a platform that bridges the Web3 infrastructure to the Web2 ecosystem.

The NicheTensor platform by Zuvu AI is designed to power dynamic and creative AI tools. Moreover, the Zuvu team is on a mission to enhance its text-to-image generation platform, personalizing images with transformative features.
