About ChainML
ChainML is a well-funded startup at the intersection of AI and Web3 founded by a team of experienced tech executives and AI experts. We’re building a decentralized agent protocol for Web3. We’re excited to contribute to a better future powered by AI agents. ChainML is partnering with leading Web3 projects to apply AI agents to improve usability, governance and user agency.
