AegisAI, Modular AI L1 blockchain for decentralized, censorship-resistant AI on EVM & SVM chains, Raises Undisclosed Pre-Seed Round

March 20, 2025

AegisAI has completed its pre-seed funding round, with IDG Capital leading the investment alongside Flow Traders and NGC Ventures. The funding will drive the platform’s development as a modular AI Layer 1 blockchain, designed to facilitate AI deployment on Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) networks.

AegisAI aims to overcome existing technical challenges in AI-blockchain integration through a decentralized node network and stake-based verification layer. The platform supports AI functionalities, including large language model (LLM) inferences and agent-driven transactions, without reliance on centralized APIs. This structure removes single points of failure, ensuring AI outputs remain tamper-proof and governed by transparent protocols rather than corporate entities.
