Gensyn押注加密验证的算力将超越GPU云：a16z领投4300万美元A轮，10亿美元代币发售

做的是什么生意

Decentralized machine-learning compute protocol: a blockchain-based market that connects AI model creators with owners of idle data-center and edge GPUs, settled in the $AI token.

启动资金：$6.5M seed led by Eden Block (March 2022); $43M Series A led by a16z crypto (June 2023); a later a16z-led round priced at a $1B fully-diluted valuation cap (fall 2025).

起因

AI researchers Ben Fielding and Harry Grieve founded Gensyn in 2021 in the UK, betting that the coming AI boom would make compute scarce and that the world's underused GPUs could fill the gap. Eden Block led the $6.5M seed in March 2022.

经过

In June 2023, a16z crypto led a $43M Series A with CoinFund, Eden Block, Protocol Labs, Maven11 and others. Testnet traction then compounded: 140,000 users by October 2025, rising to 165,000+ users and 2,000,000+ trained models by December 2025. A further a16z-led round was priced at a $1B FDV cap, and on December 15, 2025 the Foundation opened the $AI token public sale on Sonar at the same cap, ahead of Mainnet.

结果

Still building toward Mainnet as of late 2025: the token sale is the final public step before the network operates with real value, and Gensyn also launched Delphi, an open marketplace for machine-intelligence evaluation.

可借鉴之处

一个出售信任的市场，需要将验证作为产品：Gensyn的学习证明让陌生人无需中介即可租用彼此的GPU——协议本身成为平台。
