  Fortytwo builds a decentralised peer-to-peer AI network that links small language models running on consumer-grade hardware into a collaborative Swarm Inference system. The platform routes multi-step reasoning tasks across specialised models that peer-review responses to reduce errors and hallucinations. Developers can access reasoning via an Inference API or on-chain, while node operators run models, earn rewards, and receive ratings recorded on the Monad blockchain. Fortytwo has launched a devnet on the Monad testnet and operates an early adopter program called “Hitchhiking to AGI.” The company says each new node strengthens the network’s intelligence without costly centralised training, aiming for cost-efficient, scalable, and community-owned AI. Financially, Fortytwo raised $2.3M in pre-seed funding to accelerate its devnet rollout, advance distributed multi-step reasoning, and fund further research and product development.

  Axal is developing a network of autonomous agents that execute user requests by generalizing intents into multistep actions and completing them on blockchain. The company uses an ecosystem of AI solvers that bid to execute request steps; successful actions are stamped on the blockchain to provide verifiable proof of correct execution. Many agents focus on monetary products within decentralized finance, enabling automated swaps, trades, and yield management. Axal’s first product, Autopilot, is a trading platform powered by these autonomous agents and begins by using user risk-assessment questions to allocate strategies. Autopilot lets token holders build strategies without tracking prices; the agents handle trades, swaps, and yield management automatically. Founder Ash Ahmed frames the product as combining intent abstraction, blockchain trust guarantees, and competitive agent markets. Axal plans to use new funding to expand its team and further develop the agent creation, coordination, and verification architecture.
