- DWF Labs collaborates with NEAR Foundation to accelerate AI innovation.
- A $20M fund will support decentralized AI agents on the NEAR blockchain.
DWF Labs has announced that it will strategically partner with the NEAR Foundation to assist in accelerating decentralized AI agent development. This move will provide essential support to builders developing autonomous AI agents on NEAR Protocol. NEAR Protocol is a state-of-the-art layer 1 blockchain renowned for its sharding capabilities and proof-of-stake consensus model.
The collaboration accompanies DWF Labs establishing a $20 million AI Agent Fund to accelerate the deployment of decentralized AI. The NEAR Protocol provides a specific set of development tools, including smart contracts, chain signatures, and intent-based applications for verifiably decentralized AI agents. These tools enable developers to bring revolutionary solutions to market.
“We believe in empowering the builders who shape the future of autonomous technologies,” said DWF Labs Managing Partner Andrei Grachev. “In partnering with these builders on NEAR, we aim to support and accelerate their work. We’re excited to help teams lead the future in AI and redefine the possibilities of blockchain-based AI.”
Accelerating AI Innovation with NEAR Protocol
The focus on a decentralized, user-owned form of AI makes the NEAR ecosystem a perfect fit for AI agent development. Many pioneering teams are already working within the NEAR ecosystem. In collaboration with these teams, DWF Labs will provide resources, strategic support, and access to AI-focused launches like AIDOLS.
DWF Labs will support AI projects and engage closely with DeFi protocols in the NEAR ecosystem. Its collaboration will target the integration of AI agents in the financial sector, allowing for innovative decentralized finance applications powered by artificial intelligence.
It will indeed be an ambitious step for the NEAR Protocol. The partnership establishes it as the leading blockchain system for decentralized applications. There should be no stone left unturned in achieving innovations that propel us forward toward harnessing artificial intelligence and blockchain advancements.
DWF Labs’ $20 million AI Agent Fund will help and fund the development of decentralized autonomous AI systems, thereby making decentralized AI applications more widespread. NEAR is further consolidating its leadership in an ecosystem focused on accessibility, scalability, and developer resources for cutting-edge AI solutions.
