Injective has unveiled iBuild, a platform that lets users build full-fledged decentralized applications (dApps) using natural-language prompts, no coding knowledge required. iBuild leverages Injective's blockchain infrastructure to ensure that even though the building process is simplified, the resulting apps are still production-grade.
With iBuild, one can move from concept to production much faster, allowing for Web3 dapps like decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and prediction markets to be built by a single person in minutes instead of traditional months. That way, Injective significantly lowers the barrier to entry for Web3 development and potentially accelerates innovation.
The platform integrates multiple AI models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Google's Gemini and DeepSeek
Capx AI has launched its mainnet, branding itself as the “people’s NASDAQ for AI apps.” The platform enables developers to build, deploy, and tokenize AI applications, and lets users own and trade them.
It runs on three layers: Capx Chain, an Arbitrum-based L2 for AI-app tokens; Capx SuperApp, a hub for discovering and trading AI apps; Capx Cloud, a decentralized compute layer secured by $220M in restaked assets via Symbiotic.
The launch marks Capx’s shift from testnet to production after processing over 100 M transactions and reaching 1 M wallets. By combining AI, blockchain, and restaking, Capx aims to power a scalable, user-owned AI-app economy.
Zama, a cryptography firm developing fully homomorphic-encryption (FHE), has acquired Kakarot / KKRT Labs, a zero-knowledge-proof (ZK) R&D company focused on modular rollups and architectures. The goal: leverage the combined expertise to enable high-throughput, confidential transactions on public chains such as Ethereum and Solana, with targets in excess of 10,000 confidential transactions per second.
KKRT’s team will transition into Zama, with existing KKRT initiatives merging into Zama’s roadmap. Both firms emphasize open-source innovation and a “confidentiality-first” infrastructure.
The AI lab Fortytwo was founded with the presumption that a decentralized swarm of small AI models, running on personal computers, could outperform the massive large language models. This past week, they published benchmark results that prove them right.
The swarm inference was tested against OpenAI's GPT-5, Google Gemini 2.5 Pro, Anthropic Claude Opus 4.1, and DeepSeek R1 on reasoning tests, specifically GPQA Diamond, MATH-500, AIME 2024, and LiveCodeBench.
Fortytwo's vision is simple: many smaller models contribute answers in parallel; those answers are ranked and combined (“swarm”) to produce a final result, thus helping avoid reasoning loops and latency issues in large monolithic models. What's more, Fortytwo estimates that inference via their network is “up to three times cheaper” per token than the frontier models from big AI firms, since it utilizes distributed consumer hardware instead of dedicated data centers.
Here's a selection of Web3 + AI funding rounds you may have missed:
The world's first cryptographic random AI verification network for trustless on-chain and off-chain messaging DeepSafe raised $3M in a Seed funding round from Antalpha, ViaBTC Capital, Spark Digital Capital, Cogitent Ventures, Sharding Capital, Gate, and others.
AI-driven Web3 attention economy platform KapKap has raised $10M in a Seed funding round led by Animoca Brands and supported by Shima Capital, Mechanism Capital, Klaytn Blockchain, Big Brain Holdings, and Unicorn Verse.
Decentralized AI inference network DGrid AI has closed its seed funding investment from Waterdrip Capital , IoTeX, Paramita Venture, and others.
Public Bittensor (Opentensor Foundation) infrastructure operator xTAO has raised $7.3M from Off the Chain Capital:
Fully subscribed by Off the Chain Capital, this financing expands our $TAO treasury & validator footprint, increasing TAO holdings by ~41.5% & further strengthening our position as a leader in decentralized AI.
I stumbled upon a super comprehensive video shedding a light on Ethereum's “Trustless Agents” standard ERC-8004. I've written a deep dive into Ethereum Foundation's dAI team and their objectives with ERC-8004, and I invite you to check it out 👇However, if you're looking for a more technical interpretation, the video will work wonders for you.
ERC-8004 features three core registries to enable trustless AI agent interactions. The identity registry gives agents permanent on-chain addresses that act as decentralized passports. The reputation registry creates portable trust scores through an immutable audit trail of feedback events. The validation registry provides cryptographic proof of execution through Trusted Execution Environments, zero-knowledge proofs, and cryptoeconomic staking mechanisms.
Thank you for reading! The next edition is coming next week.
If you haven't done so yet, I invite you to subscribe to stay in the loop on the hottest dAI developments.
I'm looking forward to connecting with fellow Crypto x AI enthusiasts, so don't hesitate to reach out to me on social media.
