SparkChain AI Raises $10.8M in Funding Round Led by OakStone Ventures to Accelerate Infrastructure Growth, Real-Time AI Optimization, and Strategic Partnerships Ahead of Solana Launch.
SparkChain AI, a pioneer in the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure (DePIN) space, has successfully raised $10.8 million in a strategic funding round led by OakStone Ventures. The capital will be used to scale SparkChain’s decentralized AI compute network, enhance real-time AI processing capabilities, and build key partnerships—solidifying its position as a foundational infrastructure layer for Solana and the broader Web3 ecosystem.
Tackling the AI Compute Bottleneck
As AI adoption accelerates, demand for scalable, cost-effective compute power has outgrown the capabilities of centralized cloud providers. High costs, latency, and centralization risks have become major bottlenecks to innovation.
SparkChain AI offers a new paradigm: a decentralized compute layer powered by its Sovereign Data Rollup architecture. By leveraging idle bandwidth and unused computing resources across a global network, SparkChain significantly reduces infrastructure costs and democratizes access to AI compute—enabling developers, researchers, and enterprises to build faster and cheaper.
“AI is the new electricity—but only if the infrastructure is open and scalable,” said Ethan Cole, Co-Founder and CEO of SparkChain AI. “This funding enables us to accelerate our mission of unlocking real-time, decentralized AI for everyone.”
Investor Confidence in the Future of DePIN
The funding round signals growing institutional belief in the future of DePIN and decentralized AI infrastructure.
“Centralized cloud solutions are no longer adequate for the scale AI requires,” said Michelle Royston, General Partner at OakStone Ventures. “SparkChain AI is building the infrastructure for intelligent, decentralized networks where every participant can contribute and benefit. We’re excited to back this movement.”
SparkChain’s model aligns with rising trends in data sovereignty, modular blockchains, and edge AI—crucial elements for the next generation of decentralized applications.
About SparkChain AI
SparkChain AI is an AI-powered DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) rollup that transforms underutilized internet bandwidth and idle compute resources into a globally distributed AI supercluster. Through its proprietary Sovereign Data Rollup architecture, SparkChain AI orchestrates:
Permissionless Participation: Any individual or organization can run a SparkChain node—whether it’s a home router, edge device, or data center instance—and earn $SPARK tokens by contributing bandwidth and CPU/GPU cycles.
Scalable AI Services: By pooling these decentralized resources, SparkChain delivers cost-effective, high-throughput compute for tasks like model training, real-time inference, data labeling, and synthetic data generation.
Low-Latency Processing: Advanced task-scheduling protocols and dynamic bandwidth allocation ensure sub-second response times, making live computer vision, on-device ML, and interactive AI applications possible at scale.
Censorship Resistance & Data Sovereignty: Built natively on Solana (with plans for multi-chain support), SparkChain’s architecture eliminates single points of failure and grants contributors governance rights—via on-chain staking and voting—to steer protocol upgrades and network policies.
By aligning incentives between resource providers and AI developers, SparkChain AI creates a transparent, community-governed compute layer that lowers barriers to entry, democratizes access to high-performance AI, and underpins the next generation of Web3 applications.
