Ringfence AI ®️

We are beyond thrilled to be part of the NEAR Protocol AI Accelerator Program. Ringfence will become a key piece of infrastructure for all current and future teams building on NEAR. NEAR’s vision for all people to control their own assets, data, and power of choice aligns perfectly with Ringfence’s mission to bring users control over their data and determine how it can be used by AI. It’s an honor to be building alongside the amazing teams in this NEAR Horizon cohort of forward-thinkers, focused on growing a user-owned AI ecosystem spanning data, models, compute, and inference. Lastly, we’re grateful to NEAR Protocol for recognizing us as one of the most promising AI x Blockchain projects in the space as we build the definitive data monetization layer for AI that puts users in control.

The first Agentic Data Protocol is coming. Own it. 📅 Dec 6

AI Agents are no longer science fiction—they are the workforce of tomorrow. As AI pushes innovation forward, this new workforce emerges: agents designed to solve problems, process data, and drive the AI-powered future. But there's a challenge. AI systems are hitting a data wall. The demand for diverse, high-quality data has never been greater. And without it, the future remains out of reach. This is where AI Agents step in. The new agent economy will transform how AI works with data, unlocking a new era of innovation. And soon, owning and activating these agents will be in reach. Stay tuned. ®

At Devcon? 🇹🇭 Kicking off day one, our CEO Whit Gibbs joined fellow NEAR.AI x NEAR Horizon incubator cohort members, Exabits.ai Hyperbolic, Pond GNN, 0xmizuAI, and Nevermined at NEAR Protocol's [REDACTED]! We're excited to be building towards user-owned AI with so many innovative, like-minded builders. In Thailand for Devcon and want to connect? Drop us a line!

🚀 Partnership Announcement: Ringfence x Aethir Ringfence has officially partnered with AethirCloud to power the future of decentralized data management and cloud computing for AI, gaming, and beyond. 🔍 About Ringfence Ringfence is the protocol designed for data monetization in AI, ensuring that data is securely managed and contributors are fairly rewarded. By verifying and tracking data provenance, Ringfence empowers data owners by compensating them whenever their data is utilized in AI model training. 💡 What Aethir Brings Aethir’s decentralized cloud infrastructure pools enterprise-grade GPUs globally, providing affordable, on-demand computing power for AI training, rendering, and more. 🛠️ Ringfence x Aethir This collaboration bridges Ringfence's decentralized data verification with Aethir’s globally distributed GPU cloud infrastructure, enabling more secure and efficient solutions for compute-heavy applications like AI and gaming. Data contributors in the network benefit from transparency and fair compensation. 🌐 Node Airdrop Announcement To celebrate, we'll be distributing 200 Ringfence Nodes to select Aethir node holders. Plus, we’re opening up 300 additional Tier 1 node sale spots ahead of the Ringfence Node launch. This partnership marks a significant step forward in making data and compute resources more equitable and accessible. Much more coming soon.
