Founded in 2024 by Karia Samaroo and headquartered in George Town, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, the company delivers decentralized AI infrastructure and data services to enterprise software developers, AI research organizations, institutional crypto-asset investors, and decentralized application developers worldwide.
