Eidon AI 獲得由 Framework Ventures 領投的 350 萬美元種子資金

Decentralized artificial intelligence startup Eidon AI has raised $3.5 million in a seed funding round led by Framework Ventures, with participation from cyber Fund. The company was founded by former DeepMind researcher Peter Toth and Sam Padilla, formerly of Google Cloud’s Web3 team. The network incentivizes users to contribute data to onchain AI agents, rewarding them based on the economic value generated. The model aims to integrate AI, blockchain, and human collaboration to create a decentralized economy. According to the startup, the initial version of its network includes an AI agent system for data assessment, an open sequencer, and data-collection applications. Eidon also introduced MemAgents, a multimodal AI agent system designed for labeling-free data collection. The company plans to scale its data collector community, launch the Eidon chain, and release an Agent SDK to enable the creation and integration of onchain AI models.
