Planck relies on a network of global processing units worth $230 million, the protocol said.
Planck, an infrastructure protocol targeting the artificial intelligence boom, has launched a layer-0 blockchain aimed at supporting decentralized AI networks, the company said Tuesday.
The blockchain is designed to serve as foundational infrastructure for AI applications, particularly those built for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs). These networks combine hardware, token incentives and distributed processing to create alternatives to centralized resources, such as cloud services.
The move aligns with a growing push within the crypto industry to bring Web3 principles of decentralization to AI development, a sector still dominated by centralized players such as OpenAI and Google.
