- Summary:
- As part of its collaboration with builders in the NEAR ecosystem, DWF Labs will also work closely with DeFi protocols on NEAR.
DWF Labs, the new generation Web3 market maker and investor, is thrilled to announce its strategic support for teams launching AI agents on NEAR Protocol, a fully sharded, proof-of-stake, layer-1 blockchain driving innovation in artificial intelligence and decentralized technologies.
The NEAR ecosystem is home to some of the most forward-thinking teams, consistently pushing the boundaries of decentralized, user-owned AI. With the rapid growth of AI innovation within the ecosystem, DWF Labs will play a pivotal role in supporting the launch of AI agents through social launchpads such as AIDOLS, among others, as the landscape continues to evolve in the coming months.
In collaboration with NEAR Foundation, which has been actively advancing AI research and fostering talent through the Horizon AI accelerator, DWF Labs will help empower builders to bring their ideas to life. The Horizon accelerator has already propelled dozens of teams to successfully complete the program, raising venture capital and driving impactful AI solutions.
Recently, DWF Labs unveiled a $20 million AI Agent Fund, dedicated to accelerating innovation in autonomous AI technologies. By leveraging NEAR’s unique tools, such as smart contracts, chain signatures, and intents, DWF Labs aims to enable the development of verifiably decentralised AI agents. NEAR is currently the only blockchain ecosystem offering a comprehensive spectrum of resources for autonomous AI developers.
“At DWF Labs, we believe in empowering builders who are shaping the future of autonomous technologies. The NEAR Protocol stands out as a leader in enabling verifiably decentralised AI agents, offering a robust ecosystem and resources for developers. By partnering with builders on NEAR, we are excited to support teams at the forefront of AI innovation, helping them bring these solutions to market and redefine what’s possible in blockchain-powered AI,” said Andrei Grachev, Managing Partner of DWF Labs.
As part of its collaboration with builders in the NEAR ecosystem, DWF Labs will also work closely with DeFi protocols on NEAR to bootstrap the launch of AI agents focused on the financial sector, further strengthening NEAR’s position as the go-to ecosystem for cutting-edge decentralised AI applications.
