• Capx AI has secured $3.14 million in seed funding, led by Manifold, to expand its decentralized AI infrastructure and tokenized AI application marketplace.
  • The startup enables fractional ownership of AI agents using ERC-20 tokens, leveraging blockchain to facilitate secure trading and innovation in multiple industries.

Capx AI, a project at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, has raised $3.14 million in seed funding. The funding round was led by Manifold, with participation from prominent investors including Luganodes, echo, P2 Ventures, Gate.io, and STIX.

Founded by Vaibhav Tyagi, Capx AI aims to democratize AI innovation by creating a decentralized infrastructure that empowers developers and businesses to build, own, monetize, and trade AI agents on-chain.

The project introduces the concept of fractional ownership of AI agents through ERC-20 tokens, allowing users to invest in and trade AI applications seamlessly. This approach is designed to impact industries such as healthcare, education, finance, and logistics.

Capx AI operates on Ethereum Layer 2 and leverages blockchain technology to ensure secure and transparent interactions within its ecosystem. Its infrastructure includes the Capx Cloud, which distributes workloads across operators for efficient computational resource allocation, and the Capx Super App, a comprehensive platform for trading and earning through AI agent tokens.

According to reports, the $3.14 million raised will be utilized to expand Capx AI's capabilities further. The company plans to enhance its infrastructure for building and trading tokenized AI applications while scaling its operations globally.

With payments processed across more than 100 countries, Capx has already demonstrated significant growth, achieving a 15-fold increase in revenue over the past year.

Marek Olszewski, CEO of cLabs (a key supporter of Capx), emphasized the importance of such decentralized frameworks in transforming how businesses operate with AI-powered tools.

"Capx is creating a trust-minimized approach to scaling AI workloads while empowering builders with tools that foster innovation," Olszewski said.
