Yesterday, the homepage had a major update, announcing that the first venture capital investment was completed for OpenMind. OpenMind is a company focused on developing operating systems and open-source protocols for robots, enabling technology to allow robots to think, learn, and work collaboratively like humans, and is known as the "Android system for robots." This venture capital investment is not only an important milestone for the core team but also signifies that Web3 has taken a key step in advancing artificial intelligence.

@风投的背景与未来战略

Ventures, as the strategic venture capital department of the core group, aims to enhance the practicality of the ecosystem, promote more real products and integrations, and expand more offline real scenarios.
OpenMind builds a shared intelligent layer that allows robots to collaborate and learn in a decentralized ecosystem, enabling them to accumulate experience through continuous learning to address their own vulnerabilities. In simple terms, it lays the foundation for the future AI ecological functions. The current AI ecosystem is merely a test version that can be observed but not truly launched.
In addition to this capital injection, the two parties also collaborated to complete a proof of concept: the node operator successfully ran an image recognition AI model for OpenMind.
This experiment first demonstrated that nodes truly possess the ability to provide distributed computation for third parties, opening up new scenarios for node functionality beyond the traditional blockchain systems that can only record ledgers.

@技术协同与节點效用升级

Currently, Web3 has over 350,000 active nodes, and the consensus mechanism has the advantage of low energy consumption, which means that a large amount of node computing resources have not yet been fully utilized. OpenMind's technology just happens to provide a way to utilize these idle resources.
The OM1 operating system and structural protocol allow robots to interact safely, verify identities, and collaborate in both physical and digital environments without relying on a single institution. This decentralized architecture naturally complements the distributed characteristics of the nodes.
By utilizing the computing power of nodes for AI model training, a dual breakthrough has been achieved:
Node utility diversification: In addition to earning rewards by recording the ledger, nodes can also earn additional rewards by providing computing power, creating a dual-return cycle.
Universalization of AI infrastructure: Businesses or developers can also access the distributed computing power of nodes to complete AI training at lower costs and higher efficiency.

@愿景：AI时代下的区块系统

The core team is focusing on "Blockchain Technology in AI". As AI technology grows, both innovation and interaction capabilities will gradually be dominated by AI. Ensuring that AI systems are efficient, perfect, fair, and decentralized has become a critical challenge.
In this system, blockchain technology can support core elements (such as identity, transmission, incentives, and trust), while Web3 has already established the corresponding infrastructure and community scale.

@风险标准的抉择

The core team emphasizes that this venture capital follows the standard process of Silicon Valley venture capital, which is to support startups with disruptive potential, but it does not guarantee the future success of OpenMind. The essence of venture capital is to share risks.

@展望未来

The core team’s venture capital investment in OpenMind this time is not only the first capital move but also a declaration of the ecosystem. It once again proves that the value of blockchain technology is by no means limited to speculation, but whether it can become the trust cornerstone supporting the next generation of technology.
When 350,000 nodes begin to inject "collective intelligence" for robots, and when digital becomes the circulating blood of AI, we may be witnessing the launch of a brand new era, a new future driven by the community and technology that benefits individuals.
