What is Gensyn (AI)?
In short, Gensyn is the network and AI is its native token — the asset you trade on Uphold.
Gensyn is decentralized infrastructure where human knowledge and machine intelligence converge -- enabling AI to train, verify, trade and evolve. The a16z crypto-backed network serves as an open infrastructure layer that connects global compute resources for machine learning, with its economy aggregating human insight into prices while neural networks distill data patterns into predictions, all powered by the AI token.
Founded in 2020 in London by Ben Fielding (CEO, PhD in Computer Science from Northumbria University) and Harry Grieve (CTO), Gensyn has raised approximately $66.7 million across four rounds, including a Series A led by a16z crypto with participation from CoinFund, Galaxy Digital, Eden Block, and Maven 11.
