EXCLUSIVE: a16z CSX-backed Cambrian raises $6 million seed to build blockchain data oracle network theblock.co/post/406028/a1…

I'm excited to share that Cambrian has raised $11.9M to build the financial intelligence layer for the convergence of AI, digital assets, and traditional finance. Our seed round was led by @Polychain and Franklin Templeton @FTDA_US: a convergence itself of a top OG digital assets fund and a $1.7T institutional asset manager of 75+ years. As AI starts to consume more data in minutes than most humans do in lifetimes, finance is evolving to adapt to this reality ⤵️

Big news: we’ve raised $11.9 million to build the world’s financial intelligence layer. @Polychain and Franklin Templeton @FTDA_US share our conviction that the future of finance will be increasingly orchestrated by AI agents. The missing ingredient that separates winning agents from slopbots? Financial intelligence. Agents are beginning to consume human lifetimes' worth of data in minutes. As AI, digital assets, and traditional finance converge, the agentic appetite for data will grow larger – as will the challenge in separating noise from signal. Cambrian specializes strictly in financial data, delivering actionable intelligence designed for this new agentic world. The best financial decisions are predicated on the best intelligence.

Exposing your entire onchain history to the world is insane. But you do it with every purchase on your crypto card and every transaction to a friend. That ends today. @AnomaPay V1 is LIVE on @ethereum. Get started: anomapay.app

Just announced at @money2020 Europe! @MoneyGram is introducing MGUSD, a stablecoin to power its own global network, built on M0’s modular infrastructure. MGUSD will be issued by @Stablecoin and run on the @StellarOrg blockchain.

We're releasing Paris 2.0, which, to our knowledge, is the world's first decentralized trained video generation model. We benchmarked it against a monolithic model trained on the same data and compute budget, and Paris 2.0 outperformed the monolithic by ~2x on FVD benchmark.

Today we’re sharing the next chapter for @Offchain. Offchain Labs -> Offchain may seem like a small move, but it’s highly consequential and represents the evolution of our company and our brand. What began as deep R&D into Ethereum scaling has expanded into a much larger mission: building best-in-class infrastructure for enterprises operating in the programmable economy. Over the years, we’ve brought together some of the best teams in crypto across the stack: - The finance-native blockchain platform: @arbitrum - Advancing L1 consensus: @prylabs - Powering over 5M smart accounts: @zerodev_app We believe the next generation of financial infrastructure will be programmable by default, and Offchain is the strategic infrastructure partner for the world's most ambitious companies. While the rebrand signals an evolution and expansion from our early beginning in the research lab, our Princeton roots, our academic rigor and culture, and our unique R&D capabilities are still a central part of our identity and aren't disappearing with this rebrand. We’ll still use Offchain Labs when referring to our industry-leading research arm, and we have a dedicated home on the new website for the Labs part of Offchain. offchain.io/offchainlabs  By bringing our research excellence and enterprise product suite together under the unified Offchain brand, we’re building the infrastructure for the programmable economy.

We’re excited to announce @Anchorage is partnering with M0 to power stablecoin issuance using M0’s modular infrastructure. Anchorage Digital will become the first federally chartered digital bank to do so.

AI agents are starting to move real money. The problem: there’s still no independent check between what an agent intends to do and what actually gets executed. Today, that changes. We're Nava, and today we’re coming out of stealth with an $8.3M seed round from @polychain, @archetypevc, @hack_vc, @FalconXGlobal, and @seedclub / @seedclubvc to build the trust infrastructure the agent economy is missing.

VeryAI has raised $10M to build human verification for the age of AI. We are building the infrastructure to distinguish real humans from bots, deepfakes, and synthetic identities at internet scale. Why does proving you’re real online matter more than ever? 🧵
