Through this collaboration, OptimAI will accelerate development of its agentic AI ecosystem, including OptimAI Search, OptimAI Persona Agents, and the upcoming Core Node infrastructure.
OptimAI Network, a layer-2 reinforcement data network powering fully autonomous agentic AI systems, has been selected to join CMC Labs, CoinMarketCap’s flagship Web3 accelerator.
Backed by YZi Labs through the EASY Residency S1, OptimAI Network has rapidly scaled since launching in March 2025, growing to more than 734,000 deployed nodes and 30,000 active AI agent users — making it one of the fastest-scaling decentralized AI networks globally.
Powered by a decentralized data and compute layer with community-reinforced intelligence, OptimAI delivers privacy-first, user-owned AI agents that automate actions across the web and social platforms, directly competing with emerging agentic systems like Manus, ChatGPT Operator, and Grok. With this momentum, OptimAI is emerging as a notable Web3-native agentic AI network capable of delivering autonomous intelligence at real network scale.
CMC Labs will provide strategic support, market insights and exposure to CoinMarketCap’s global user base. Through this collaboration, OptimAI will accelerate development of its agentic AI ecosystem, including OptimAI Search, OptimAI Persona Agents, and the upcoming Core Node infrastructure.
Rush, CEO of CoinMarketCap, commented:
“OptimAI’s focus on decentralized intelligence and user-owned data aligns with several emerging trends in the space. CMC Labs supports their efforts as they continue building.”
Andrew, co-founder of OptimAI, added:
“AI today is centralized, expensive, and inaccessible. OptimAI reverses that by putting intelligence, data ownership, and autonomy back into the hands of users. Joining CMC Labs gives us an incredible platform to scale this vision globally and accelerate the transition toward a user-owned AI future.”
Ryan, co-founder of OptimAI, stated:
“OptimAI brings together decentralized compute, a global data layer, and an agentic AI runtime in a single network. CMC Labs is the perfect partner to help us scale the ecosystem, strengthen our token economy, and expand across BNB Chain and beyond. We’re excited for the road ahead.”
OptimAI will collaborate with CMC Labs on ecosystem activation, education initiatives, and its upcoming token generation and scaling milestones.
