SINGAPORE, Jan. 09, 2026 — , a decentralized protocol that converts AI training data into community-owned assets, has announced a partnership with OptimAI Network, the pioneering Layer-2 Reinforcement Data Network built to support fully autonomous Agentic AI systems.
OptimAI Network, with backing from YZi Labs via EASY Residency and support from CMC Labs, lends significant industry credibility to this joint effort. The collaboration merges Pundi AI’s decentralized, verifiable data infrastructure on BNB Chain with OptimAI’s community-driven agentic intelligence to expedite the development of user-owned, privacy-focused AI agents worldwide.
Since its launch in March 2025, OptimAI Network has grown to over 700,000 installed nodes and 420,000 users globally. Its agentic systems facilitate autonomous operations across web and social platforms, establishing OptimAI as a Web3-native substitute for centralized AI providers. The project also received recognition from CZ, who endorsed OptimAI’s Persona Agentic system during the Personalized AI Challenge on Binance Square.
In this partnership, Pundi AI will supply on-chain data provenance, community-based labeling, and transparent data ownership to bolster OptimAI’s agent and reinforcement systems. This guarantees that the AI is trained and enhanced with data that is open, verifiable, and collectively owned, rather than being under the control of a sole platform.
The collaboration underscores a mutual conviction that AI should be open, community-led, and user-owned. By integrating decentralized data infrastructure on the BNB Chain with reinforcement-powered agentic systems, Pundi AI and OptimAI Network are establishing the groundwork for autonomous AI that is transparent, scalable, and congruent with human interests.
This achievement represents a further advance in Pundi AI’s objective to democratize AI by converting data into on-chain intellectual property and allowing permissionless engagement in the AI economy. Additional integrations and community programs are slated for announcement in the weeks ahead.
