Modular blockchain startup Origins Network announces the completion of $8 million in strategic funding. Participants include Animoca Brands, TBV, Candaq FinTech Group, Castrum Capital, Coinvestor Ventures, as well as multiple family offices and angel investors.

Origins Network positions itself as “the computing infrastructure for AI Agents,” aiming to solve core issues such as what AI is doing off-chain, how it’s doing it, and who guarantees it.

PoC Mechanism: Making AI Computation Verifiable

Origins Network uses a self-developed PoC (Proof of Computation) mechanism. Simply put, during AI reasoning or task execution, each step of computation leaves a verifiable on-chain record, allowing anyone to confirm that “this AI is indeed following the rules.”

The architecture adopts a hybrid design: computation occurs off-chain (to maintain performance), while verification results are recorded on-chain (to ensure trustworthiness).

Cloud Partnerships and Fund Usage

Origins Network has established collaborations with AWS, Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, and Origins Cloud, providing underlying computing resources. The funds from this round will be used in three areas: expanding the global decentralized computing node network, developing the developer ecosystem, and improving toolchains to lower entry barriers for developers. It will also accelerate market expansion and business cooperation through global operations.

The AI Agent infrastructure track has been continuously attracting funding recently. This round of financing for Origins Network indicates institutional capital’s bullish outlook on the niche of “verifiable AI computation.”
