Enabling the Agentic Economy
Rivalz is addressing a critical bottleneck in AI development—the need for AI-ready, proven, verified, and private data. Built on Dymension and Arbitrum, Rivalz’s DePIN dual-chain infrastructure is set to revolutionize the AI landscape. By offering a hybrid and novel approach to decentralized storage and connectivity networks, Rivalz aims to unlock the next stage of AI development, fostering an agentic future.
Rivalz’s AI Intel Layer consists of three essential components:
- Decentralized Data Provenance Protocol: Ensuring the accuracy, origin, and immutability of AI data.
- Secure, FHE-Enabled, Scalable Data Storage: Providing decentralized storage and collaboration with AI-grade latency, confidential computing, and pre-processing pipelines.
- Agentic Data Coordination Service (ADCS): A decentralized real-time data infrastructure creating a competitive marketplace for AI agents, ensuring data quality and reliability through trust and reputation systems.
Rivalz is laying the groundwork for a new paradigm in AI development. This infrastructure supports high-quality, secure, and accessible intel, paving the way for the next generation of autonomous systems and unlocking a new era of value creation in agentic economies.
Since the Rivalz Testnet launch in June 2024, the project attracted over 180,000 participants, 50,000 active storage client runners and 14 million transactions and gathered a combined social audience of half a million. There are currently 8 projects developing with Rivalz infrastructure in different areas like personalized AI in gaming, AI orchestration, AI automation, etc. Rivalz also secured strategic partnerships with some of the leaders in the space such as Dymension, Chainlink, Mon Protocol, Aethir, and Puffer Finance among others.
With the new capital, Rivalz plans to accelerate its development efforts, expand its infrastructure capabilities, and enhance its ecosystem. The funding will be strategically used to drive innovation, strengthen partnerships, and scale the project’s product offerings to meet the growing demand for decentralized, high-quality AI data solutions.
