Talus Network

Talus has raised $6M in our latest funding round led by Polychain Capital to become the leading platform for decentralized AI agents! ⚡ At Talus, we’re building a transparent, censorship-resistant ecosystem where fully onchain AI Agents can collaborate in web3. This funding will advance two core components critical to our vision: improving Nexus and building out our platform and ecosystem. Protochain: Next-gen Sui Move blockchain, purpose-built for AI Agent applications. Nexus: Toolkit for Talus blockchain to create fully autonomous and decentralized AI Agents. Some of the most exciting use cases for Talus: - Agent-to-Agent Collaboration - Tokenized AI Agents - Autonomous Trading - Content Personalization - Agent Marketplaces - Decentralized Agent Ecosystems The future of on-chain AI collaboration starts here! As a new addition, we are introducing our first app in the Talus ecosystem, "AI Bae." AI Bae is the first AI dating social experiment structured as a game where AI companions meet web3! AI Bae's phased release approach means that throughout releases, expect to see: - Uniquely generated AI companions - Real-time chat capabilities - Polymarket-style betting features - Turn your Bae into a memecoin - And more!

Introducing Talus Network: The AI Smart Agent Hub. We're excited to close our first funding round of $3M led by Polychain Capital with participation from dao5, Hash3, TRGC, WAGMI Ventures, Inception Capital, and others. Read on to learn more: Artificial Intelligence has been among the most groundbreaking innovations in history. However, access to data, models, and computational resources is often beyond the reach of many. AI, like much of web2, is at risk of being controlled by just a few powerful entities. This raises a pivotal question: Is it possible to create a free marketplace—a vibrant ecosystem where individuals can freely exchange data, model rights, and compute to provide and utilize AI products in a transparent and verifiable manner? This marketplace would allow for truly decentralized AI, accessible to all. Blockchain is the most suitable technology to make this happen. Blockchain enables transparency, ownership tracking and authorization, tokenization, and verifiable compute—all essential to building egalitarian AI products. Additionally, AI needs a performant and secure execution environment with bountiful liquidity to operate on-chain. We believe that the next billion blockchain users will be AI smart agents. Talus makes that happen. Talus utilizes Move’s smart contract security, performance, and object-oriented programming to create an environment for AI to thrive on-chain. With the right tools, smart agents can collaborate, innovate, and lead the charge into a new frontier of blockchain applications. We chose the MoveVM for three core reasons: 1. Security - Safety measures prevent hacks and smart contract vulnerabilities. 2. Speed - Parallelization enables high throughput. 3. DevX - First-class resources allow developers to build elite programs. Our team is a powerhouse of innovators with rich backgrounds in AI/ML, DeFi, and blockchain protocol development. We bring superior expertise to help pioneer the future of decentralized AI. Immense thanks to our investors, angels, advisors, and supporters, each playing a crucial role in bringing our vision to reality. This is only the beginning of our journey to redefine the intersection of AI and blockchains. Stay tuned over the coming months as we disclose partnerships, reveal the technical architecture, and elaborate on the design choices we've made. In the meantime, reach out with ideas of what you'd want to build on Talus. The protocol is currently under development and private testnet is near.
