Billions Closes $30M in Funding to Scale Global Human-AI Trust Network

Billions, a mobile-first verification platform focused on enabling trust and accountability between humans and AI, has raised $30 million in total capital to accelerate its mission of creating a verifiable identity layer for the AI age. The funding positions the company to expand its rapidly growing global network, which now includes over 900,000 verified users and more than 810,000 validated identities.

Founded to ensure authenticity in an increasingly AI-integrated world, Billions enables secure human-AI interactions without requiring proprietary hardware — only a smartphone. The platform offers on-device, encrypted identity verification, rewarding users with “Power” points for participating in the network. Its roadmap includes a three-phase trust model: anonymous mobile verification, a user-driven reputation layer, and a global trust economy connecting verified users and AI agents across borders.
