It’s time to join the swarm. Congratulations to our portfolio company Gensyn on its testnet launch – a monumental feat for the progress of decentralized AI. #gensyn #decentralizedtraining
Introducing the Gensyn Testnet The Gensyn testnet is live. Run a node, train your personal model, and track your participation in the swarm. JOIN The first phase tracks participation within RL Swarm, our collaborative reinforcement learning system that runs on consumer devices over the internet. Connect today with a laptop, an H100 or anything in between. Link your node to the Testnet to receive an on-chain identity to track your contributions over time. https://lnkd.in/e53mBP-S WATCH Monitor the progress of the swarm and view individual node contributions and participation via the dashboard. https://lnkd.in/eTXGm4JT PURPOSE Gensyn is an open network for building decentralised AI systems. The Testnet allows you to track participation, maintain attribution, make payments, coordinate remote execution, verify untrusted operations, log decentralised training runs, crowd-fund large-scale training efforts, and more. ARCHITECTURE The network is a custom Ethereum Rollup dedicated to machine learning and integrated with off-chain execution, verification, and communication frameworks. ROADMAP The Testnet will follow a phased rollout, with each phase introducing new features derived from the infrastructure that Gensyn builds. As phases progress, more applications will become available - covering the full ML lifecycle from pre-training through inference. MAINNET The final phase will culminate in the Mainnet launch, with real economic value transacted via the chain. We look forward to seeing you on-chain.

The solution to fighting crypto crime may not be in technology, but in history books. CoinFund President Christopher Perkins and former CFTC Commissioner J. Christopher Giancarlo argue that applying the letters of marque and reprisal to crypto, and commissioning neo-privateers would help protect the US from hackers in their latest op-ed for Cointelegraph. #privateers #cryptohack https://lnkd.in/e7k5NtyJ
