Hold onto your digital hats, folks-IoTeX just dropped the Real-World AI Foundry, a shiny new global crusade to build AI that’s open, decentralized, and blockchain-powered. Because, apparently, AI companies thought, “Hey, let’s keep it secret, pricey, and monopolized by a handful of wizards.” Spoiler: That’s so 2020.
At the R3al World AI Summit (yes, they really stylize “Real” with a 3, because nothing says cutting-edge like numbers in words) during Singapore’s Token2049 conference, IoTeX rolled out this project like it was the new iPhone, partnering with big names like Vodafone, Filecoin, Theta Network, and a few others that sound like either sci-fi planets or your next Wi-Fi network.
According to their spokesperson (who probably drinks way too much crypto Kool-Aid), “Real-World AI requires open collaboration where live, trusted data from machines, people, and sensors flow into shared models”-translation: less secret sauce, more potluck dinner where everybody brings data to the table. 🍲
Plus, blockchain swoops in to secure all this precious data, while crypto hands out rewards like Oprah giving away cars. “You get tokens! You get tokens! Everybody gets tokens!”-just for providing data, compute power, or validating stuff, all recorded on a blockchain because if it’s not on-chain, did it even happen?
Real-World Models: AI That Actually Does Stuff
At the very core of this tech Frankenstein’s monster are Real-World Models (RWMs). These aren’t your grandma’s sit-and-learn models-they’re trained on live data from machines, sensors, and humans arguing about what temperature the office should be set to. They understand cause and effect, adapt on the fly, and are ready to revolutionize sectors you actually care about, like healthcare, energy, mobility, and robotics (AKA, making your toaster smarter-maybe).
Our friendly IO spokesperson assures us that instead of just tossing around computing power or hosting agents like some sort of AI Block Party, the Foundry is the first open ecosystem of RWMs. And don’t worry, it’s governed collectively so your smart fridge doesn’t become the next Skynet. Interoperability, accountability, and human values all rolled into one neat crypto-wrapped package.
The Foundry’s kicking off with a juicy stream of real-world data flowing from over 40 million connected devices-that’s like the entire population of Canada, but smarter and less polite. These devices plug in as trusted data sources using ioID, a decentralized identity protocol that somehow verifies you’re real without spilling your secrets. Fancy encryption and zero-knowledge proofs keep your data safer than grandma’s cookie recipe.
And if you’re wondering, yes, all those data providers, infrastructure folks, and model magicians get paid handsomely-in crypto, naturally-based on how good and useful their contributions are, tracked onchain because we live in the future now.
Governance? That’s starting with a few top-tier working groups (Alignment Partners-imagine them as the Avengers of crypto) but eventually, they’re going full “let the people vote” with token-based mechanisms, making sure no evil overlord hijacks the system. Democracy FTW! 🗳️
Decentralized AI: The Revolution Is Not Televised (Yet)
Also, did you hear the buzz? Swarm Network just raised $13 million to build an offchain-to-onchain AI verification protocol that’s already fact-checking over 3 million posts. Because the internet was running low on fact-checkers-and cats.
Not to be outdone, Nous Research snagged a cool $50 million in a Series A round led by Paradigm to build open-source AI models on Solana. Basically, they’re saying, “Hey OpenAI, nice monopoly-here’s some decentralized chaos to shake things up.”

- tag under 100 characters. No tags, no colors, retain images, add humor and sarcasm with emojis. Also, the title shouldn’t be repeated in the body. First, I need to understand Bill Bryson’s style. He’s known for witty, engaging, and slightly irreverent commentary, often with a mix of humor and informative content. I should infuse that into the rewritten text. The original text is about crypto pundits being bullish on Bitcoin despite stagflation fears and Fed rate cut hopes. The title needs to be catchy and clickbait. Let me brainstorm some options. Maybe something like “Bitcoin’s Bull Run: Will Stagflation Spoil the Party? 🚀💸” That’s under 100 characters and includes emojis. It’s catchy and hints at the conflict between bullish crypto and economic concerns. Next, the body. Replace technical jargon with more conversational and humorous language. For example, instead of “sluggish growth,” maybe “economic snoozefest.” Use emojis to add flair.Analyzing the situation… Ensure the structure remains the same, keeping all the images in place. Add some sarcastic remarks, like comparing economic data to a reality TV show or mentioning that experts are “optimistic despite the chaos.” Check for any tags and remove them. Don’t apply any color styles. Make sure the title is only in the tag and not repeated elsewhere. Verify that all images are retained and the HTML structure is correct. Also, ensure the humor and sarcasm are present without being too over the top. Maybe add a joke about the Fed’s rate cuts being a “magic wand” or stagflation being a “ghost story.” Finally, proofread to ensure the character count for the title is under 100 and that the HTML is valid. Make sure the rewritten text flows naturally in Bryson’s style, with a mix of informative content and light-hearted commentary. Done in 8s. Bitcoin’s Bull Run: Will Stagflation Spoil the Party? 🚀💸 What to know: The U.S. economy is playing a game of hot potato with stagflation, mixing stagnant growth and rising prices like a bad reality TV show. Crypto gurus are still bullish on Bitcoin, eyeing Fed rate cuts and a “structural bull run” that makes Wall Street look like a toddler’s scribble. They’ve already picked their favorite altcoins to ride the next crypto rollercoaster. Spoiler: Solana is the golden child. Thursday’s economic data dropped a bombshell: the U.S. might be flirting with stagflation. You know, that 1970s nightmare of stagnant growth, job market limbo, and inflation that makes your coffee cost $50? Yeah, it’s back. But crypto enthusiasts? They’re sipping margaritas on a digital beach, ignoring the storm. 🏖️ Why the optimism? Because the Federal Reserve is expected to play magician, pulling rate cuts out of a hat to keep the market’s heart beating. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 is hitting all-time highs like it’s a TikTok dance challenge, and the dollar index is on a downward spiral faster than my Wi-Fi during a Zoom call. 💀 Shane Molidor of Forgd, a crypto oracle with a side of swagger, told CoinDesk, “Bitcoin’s the new gold-plated piggy bank for people who hate fiat money. It’s not just a gamble-it’s a hedge against your savings being turned into confetti by governments.” August’s inflation report? A 0.4% monthly spike, pushing the annual rate to 2.9%. Meanwhile, unemployment claims hit a four-year high. Oh, and the BLS just admitted they miscalculated jobs data for 2025. Classic! 🤷♂️ Bitcoin briefly hit $116,000-because why not?-while altcoins like Solana (SOL), Chainlink (LINK), and Dogecoin are doing cartwheels. Traders are betting the Fed will cut rates by 25 basis points in September, and who are we to argue? They’ve been cutting rates since the invention of the wheel. 🚀 Le Shi of Auros made a point so obvious it’s almost profound: the “Magnificent 7” stocks are stagflation-proof because they’re spending billions on AI. If you can’t beat the economy, outsource your problems to robots. 🤖 Sam Gaer of Monarq Asset Management summed it up: “Stagflation is a ghost story. The Fed’s magic wand (aka rate cuts) will calm the markets, and crypto will keep climbing like it’s on a sugar high.” Markus Thielen of 10x Research added, “Inflation’s about to take a nosedive. Risk assets? They’re dancing on a tightrope while the Fed waves a green flag. Buckle up for the ride.” Standout tokens Bitcoin’s not the only star in the crypto galaxy. Solana (SOL) is the new kid on the block, with demand so hot it could melt a Bitcoin miner’s GPU. SOLBTC is flirting with the 0.002 level, and investors are throwing money at it like it’s Black Friday in Web3. 🛒 Then there’s Ethena’s ENA token and its synthetic dollar, USDe, which is basically the crypto version of a money tree. And Hyperliquid’s HYPE token? It’s the go-to for young investors who think “high-risk, high-reward” is just a lifestyle. 🎢 Shane Molidor quipped, “Hyperliquid’s for people who want to trade like they’re in a casino, not a library. And Ethena? It’s the crypto equivalent of a free lunch when the Fed cuts rates. Who needs sleep when you’ve got yield?” So, will stagflation crash the party? Probably not. The Fed’s rate cuts are the ultimate party favor, and crypto’s the DJ spinning the tracks. Just don’t forget to bring sunscreen for the bull run. ☀️
