The project said that investors, including One Comma, Kapley Judge and Associated Corporations, Cyberrock Venture Fund, Candaq Fintech Group, and Hameem Raees Chowdhury, participated in the funding round.
EMC plans to use the newly raised funds to launch its Layer 1 blockchain, which is focused on apps designed for artificial intelligence. The blockchain is “designed to scale and support GPU compute for crypto AI projects while introducing a new DeFi asset class backed by tokenized real-world GPU resources.”
