Gonka Launches Decentralized AI Infrastructure to Challenge Centralized Cloud Providers
DATA AND AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Gonka has launched a Layer-1 decentralized network designed to provide efficient AI computation, addressing the centralization challenges posed by major cloud providers. Utilizing a Transformer-based Proof-of-Work mechanism, the network has gained traction with 2,200 developers and secured $50 million in funding from Bitfury, all while maintaining its decentralization goals. As demand for AI inference rises, Gonka aims to offer predictable compute access, promoting a competitive environment against tech giants like OpenAI and Google.
