Swarm Network Secures $13 million to Scale Decentralized AI

- Raises $13 million for its blockchain-based AI protocol. - Funding includes $10 million from NFT license sales and $3 million from strategic backers. On August 27, 2025, Cointelegraph, Markets Insider, and DL News reported that Swarm Network raised $13 million to accelerate its decentralized AI verification platform. Swarm Network used two primary fundraising approaches. It raised $10 million by selling over 10,000 NFT-based agent licenses on the Sui blockchain. These licenses allow holders to operate network agents and earn daily rewards for maintaining the system. In addition, Swarm Network secured $3 million from strategic investors, including Sui, Ghaf Capital, Brinc, Y2Z, and Zerostage. Participation in SuiHub’s global accelerator program in Dubai helped Swarm secure investments from Sui, Ghaf, and Brinc. The Swarm Network uses cutting-edge technology to bridge off-chain data with verifiable on-chain information, allowing decentralized systems to manage real-world data efficiently. For instance, Rollup News, an AI-powered fact-checking platform, is one of its early adopters. The platform has attracted over 128,000 users who have verified more than 3 million posts, showcasing the growing integration of AI and blockchain technologies. The funding highlights increasing interest in the role of AI agents in blockchain ecosystems and reflects investor confidence in the technological synergy between decentralized systems and artificial intelligence.
