DeepNode distinguishes itself with a unique approach to governance and contribution, emphasizing real-world utility.

The network is framed as an open intelligence infrastructure designed to let AI developers, compute providers, and validators collaborate and earn rewards without relying on centralized tech giants.

Developers retain intellectual property rights within the network, and participation can be private or public, preserving open collaboration alongside commercial safeguards for institutional users.

Funding supports a multi-year roadmap to build an open intelligence network that prioritizes collaboration, transparency, and contributor ownership.

The network uses Proof-of-Work Relevance (PoWR), rewarding contributors for real-world utility and performance rather than just computational output.

PoWR evaluates AI contributions by usefulness and impact, with models evolving according to real-world performance and outcomes.

DeepNode’s PoWR mechanism ties rewards to the practical value of AI outputs, aligning incentives with performance and impact.

DeepNode differentiates itself with a multi-tool approach intended to support any predictive or decision-making task across industries rather than focusing on a single model or use case.

This multi-tool approach enables handling diverse predictive and decision-making tasks across sectors, setting it apart from projects centered on one use case.

DeepNode is built on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2, to keep transaction costs under a cent while leveraging Ethereum security, with a mainnet rollout planned by the end of Q1 2026.

The project aims for low-cost scalability on Base, with mainnet launch by early 2026 and domains already under development across multiple verticals.

DeepNode operates on Base to achieve sub-cent transaction fees and a targeted mainnet launch by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

This is a sponsored press release; the information reflects the company’s announcements and should be considered informational rather than financial or legal advice.

Foundation-supported domains across multiple verticals are planned to expand ecosystem coverage and enable sector-specific capabilities and deployment.

The development of foundation-supported domains across several verticals is already underway, with funding aimed at driving broader adoption and ecosystem collaboration.

A 2026 mainnet launch is planned with applications spanning healthcare, finance, trading, and more, while offering private participation options and IP ownership for contributors.

DeepNode has secured $5 million in seed and strategic rounds from Web3 and AI infrastructure investors and community participants, with a $25 million seed valuation and a $75 million strategic valuation.

The strategic round was led by a consortium of Web3 and AI infrastructure investors, providing enterprise integration, scaling, and go-to-market expertise.

DeepNode aims to power predictions across healthcare, finance, trading, and beyond, building an open intelligence network rooted in decentralized principles and contributor ownership.

The seed round was community-driven, including validators, miners, and early adopters, with support from partners like Gateway.FM and validators WildSageLabs and Rizzo.

The platform targets industries such as healthcare diagnostics, fraud detection, and cryptocurrency trading for predictive and decision-making tasks.

Key benefits include builders retaining IP, contributors earning based on performance, and enterprises having private participation options while leveraging network effects.

DeepNode stresses intellectual property ownership for builders, performance-based rewards for contributors, and private participation options for enterprises within a network that benefits from shared effects.

The announcements reflect a broader industry shift toward open, permissionless AI infrastructure prioritizing real-world utility and model performance over sheer compute.
