Alright, chat, time to address sensitive questions before y’all start guessingView quoted post on X
1⃣Wait , are you guys an AI company now?
No. MEGA is a crypto-native company, and proudly so. Inference is the market we are entering, but the way we win it is through crypto technology and ideology.
There’s an artificial wall in crypto people’s minds about AI. It seems that if you are solving AI’s problem, you are betraying crypto. We reject that artificial boundary.
Inference is going to be the largest market in the world, and we believe crypto’s core tools are the best answer to AI’s biggest ones: fairness and access.
2⃣Okay, fine, explain to me why a crypto infra company is capable of solving AI Inference
Building MegaETH taught us something bigger than blockchains: across the largest markets, there are prevailing assumptions that lead end users to pay more than they should. Blockspace was one of those markets.
We are system researchers/engineers from Stanford Platform Lab, MIT CSAIL, and Harvard SEAS. We enjoy pushing markets toward their end state, and did it once with blockspace by breaking the norm and running a powerful centralized sequencer. Today, no one, literally no one, mentions decentralized sequencers anymore.
We were able to come in, measure where the waste was, find that the limit was a design choice, and engineer past it (very much against the “consensus”).
Over the summer, when we shipped Mega, the chain, we lifted our eyes and looked for the next ambitious problem set worth solving. We discovered, delightfully, that blockchain and cryptography can be applied to solve inefficiency in the rapidly growing inference market
We realized that staying a chain-only company felt wrong and would have meant ignoring the biggest opportunity in front of us.
Therefore, we decided to expand our mission and restructure to match it.
3⃣ Final question, what’s launching in December?
We are launching a globally competitive inference market to the public in Dec 2026.
Our vision for the future of AI inference: Purified Intelligence.View quoted post on X
