Pundi AI Teams Up with OptimAI Network: Accelerating Autonomous AI Agent Development

By: theblockbeats.news|2026/01/14 03:30:17

BlockBeats News, January 13th, Pundi AI announced a partnership with the first Layer-2 enhanced data network OptimAI Network to jointly promote the development of Autonomous AI Agent (Agentic AI) systems. This collaboration combines Pundi AI's deployment of decentralized verifiable data infrastructure on the BNB chain with OptimAI's community-enhanced intelligence, aiming to accelerate the global adoption of user-owned, privacy-first AI agents. Since its launch in March 2025, OptimAI Network has expanded to 870,000 installed nodes and 530,000 users, becoming a representative of decentralized AI in the Web3 space.

Through the partnership, Pundi AI will provide OptimAI with on-chain data provenance, community labeling, and transparent data ownership support to ensure AI training uses open, verifiable, and community-controlled data. Both parties are committed to building a transparent, scalable, and human-interest-aligned Autonomous AI system to drive the democratization of AI. This milestone marks Pundi AI's significant step towards transforming data into on-chain intellectual property and enabling open participation in the AI economy, with more integrations and community initiatives to be announced in the coming weeks.

In early 2026, AI has returned to the center of the crypto market — not as a short-lived narrative, but as part of trading infrastructure. AI-powered tokens continue to attract attention, while AI-assisted trading tools are increasingly embedded into exchanges, strategy platforms, and risk systems. For traders, the key question is no longer whether AI will be used, but how it changes execution, risk control, and decision-making in practice. Understanding this shift requires separating market narratives from the actual mechanics of AI-driven trading.
