PANews reported on December 5 that AI and Web3 startup Scrypted announced the completion of a $1.5 million seed round of financing, led by Palm Tree Crew Crypto and participated by a16z crypto CSX. The funds will be used to develop fully decentralized autonomous AI agents (AVBs) and the Inori network, ushering in the Web4 era of "read-write-own-act".

The Inori network aims to provide decentralized computing, storage, communication and financial infrastructure for AI agents, driving their transformation from current passive tools to self-managed digital life forms, and applying them to social, gaming and financial fields. Scrypted plans to help build a decentralized AI ecosystem through open source AI development tools ArtemisML and SDK, and explore technologies such as decentralized consensus mechanisms to further promote the realization of Web4.
