Rivalz Network, backed by leading investors including Delphi Ventures, D1 Ventures, and Gate.io, has secured $9 million in recent funding to advance its AI Intel Layer infrastructure. This marks a crucial moment for Rivalz as it innovates in AI data and decentralized infrastructure. The company is tackling a major challenge in AI development — the need for AI-ready, verified, and private data — by leveraging its dual-chain infrastructure on Dymension and Arbitrum.
Rivalz’s AI Intel Layer is built around three core components: a Decentralized Data Provenance Protocol ensuring data accuracy and origin, a secure and scalable data storage solution with FHE-enabled confidential computing, and an Agentic Data Coordination Service that creates a competitive marketplace for AI agents. Since launching its Testnet in June 2024, Rivalz has attracted over 180,000 participants and secured partnerships with industry leaders like Chainlink and Puffer Finance.
With the new funding, Rivalz aims to accelerate development, expand infrastructure, and enhance its ecosystem to meet the growing demand for decentralized AI data solutions.
