- With its expanded investment focus, YZi Labs is bullish on the AI space and sees decentralization as key to its evolution—this investment further strengthens its bet on decentralized AI.
YZi Labs has invested in Tensorplex Labs (Tensorplex), a decentralized AI lab building applications, infrastructure and tools to supercharge AI development and use-cases using decentralized technologies. They are a pioneering force at the intersection of blockchain and AI, dedicated to accelerating and democratizing AI technology.
Their flagship products include Tensorplex Dojo (Dojo), a core infrastructure for decentralized AI that integrates human intelligence into training and agentic workflows, and Backprop Finance, an all-in-one DeFi hub for Bittensor. They are also advancing open source AI model training and research, positioning themselves as essential partners for developers, innovators, and the broader community.
Dojo is a decentralized platform shaping the future of Human-AI Co-work. By collecting valuable human preference and feedback data, Dojo enhances state-of-the-art AI models and agents while rewarding contributors for their participation. In the future, Dojo will facilitate real-time collaboration between humans and AI agents to solve problems and complete complex tasks, becoming the Human API for AI.
With Bittensor’s recent Dynamic TAO (dTAO) upgrade, TAO emissions have shifted from one that is controlled by root validators to an open market model that distributes emissions proportionally to the market cap value of each subnet’s dTAO token. Tensorplex built Backprop Finance to be a one-stop DeFi hub for Bittensor, starting with a terminal for subnet dTAO trading and analytics. Backprop Finance will eventually roll out capital solutions, powered by EVM smart contracts on Bittensor, to grow Bittensor’s subnet economy.
With this investment, Tensorplex will expand its team, accelerate R&D, and drive the adoption of its decentralized AI solutions, to achieve its goal of advancing and decentralizing AI development and participation.
“At YZi Labs, we are bullish on the AI space and believe decentralization will play a key role in its evolution. That’s why we recently expanded our investment focus beyond Web3 to include AI and biotech,” said Andy Chang, Investment Director at YZi Labs. “Tensorplex is pioneering this shift by enabling human expertise to shape AI development in novel ways. This investment strengthens our bet on decentralized AI, and we are excited to support their vision in building a more open and collaborative AI ecosystem.”
“We’re thrilled to have YZi Labs’ support as we continue to innovate in, and push, the boundaries of the decentralized AI space. We believe the next leap in AI will emerge from seamless collaboration between humans and AI agents. With Dojo, we’re building a decentralized platform shaping the future of Human-AI Co-work, and with Backprop Finance, we’re accelerating Bittensor’s ecosystem growth with our state-of-the-art DeFi hub for Bittensor. This investment will help us scale our efforts and bring our vision of a more inclusive and human-aligned AI future to life,” said CK Cheung, Co-Founder of Tensorplex Labs.
