Edge Matrix Chain (EMC) has successfully raised $20 million to develop an AI-focused Layer 1 blockchain. This funding, led by Amber Group and Polygon Venture, aims to create a decentralized ecosystem optimized for AI applications. The new blockchain will support GPU compute for AI-powered decentralized applications (dApps) and introduce a novel DeFi asset class backed by tokenized GPU resources.
The EMC blockchain will facilitate seamless integration with large language models and enhance data storage for AI workloads. By tokenizing compute assets, EMC aims to attract institutional and retail investors, offering a sustainable annual percentage yield on these assets. The upcoming public testnet will incentivize early contributors, paving the way for the mainnet launch later this year.
