Scenarios illustrate potential scale relative to the traditional market. Actual outcomes depend on adoption, tokenomics, and competitive dynamics.

Thesis

As AI is used for high-stakes decisions, verifiable inference becomes critical. Proof-of-Inference lets builders deploy ML apps while offloading ZK proof generation.

Team

Built by Inference Labs Inc. Key team members are Dan and Hudson (publicly known by first names from podcast appearances). Company focuses on zkML and verifiable inference. Team is partially doxxed.

  • Dan - Co-founder / Key team member (Inference Labs)
  • Hudson - Co-founder / Key team member (Inference Labs)

Funding

$6.3M raised (2025) from DACM, Delphi, Echo (Native Capital), Mechanism. $2.3M pre-seed (Apr 2024). Total: ~$8.6M.

Traction

160M+ zk proofs generated. 65%+ proving time reduction. Lightning Protocol released (Rust-based, Mar 2026). TEE integration for Proof-of-Inference. Actively building on both Bittensor and EigenLayer.

Recent News

  • Mar 4, 2026 - Released Lightning Protocol (Rust-based system for faster validator-miner communications)
  • 2026 - Extended Omron to include TEE-based verification
  • 2025 - Raised $6.3M from DACM, Delphi, Echo (Native Capital), Mechanism
  • 2024 - Raised $2.3M pre-seed for Proof of Inference and liquid staking

Risk

zkML has high computational overhead; proof generation time may be impractical for real-time applications.
