Blockchain-based artificial intelligence development network Mira announced that it has raised $9 million in seed funding to build a decentralized AI infrastructure platform to expand access to advanced AI capabilities.

The round was led by Bitkraft Ventures and Framework Ventures, a notable crypto venture capital firm, and also attracted investments from Accel, Crucible, Folius Ventures, Mechanism Capital and SALT Fund.

Mira offers a user-friendly suite of software development kits for developers to connect to AI infrastructure and build on and consume open-source AI resources. The company said that through the combination of models, data and compute, developers will be able to build and publish what the company calls Mira Flows, a new type of AI primitive for other users to build with.

“Mira is set to offer hundreds of actionable AI workflows that save developers time and effort in creating and maintaining complex AI products,” said co-founder Karan Sirdesai. “Mira also allows AI contributors to maintain sovereign ownership of their models, data, and their use while being able to monetize these resources via our marketplace. Crypto incentives play a key role in aligning our community to consistently maintain, evaluate, and advance our ecosystem, fueling its growth and capabilities.”
