Inference Labs
Echo Community Round

Inference Labs builds cryptographic infrastructure for trustless AI through Proof of Inference (PoI), a zero-knowledge protocol that verifies AI model outputs without revealing models, inputs, or outputs. Its Omron subnet on Bittensor and related tools enable verifiable, privacy-preserving inference for decentralized applications.

In June 2025, as part of a broader strategic raise that brought total funding to $6.3M, Inference Labs completed a $1M Echo Syndicate community round led by Native Capital. The round sold out in under one week and was announced alongside follow-on participation from existing backers and new strategic investors. Funds support advancement of the Proof of Inference protocol, circuit optimization, multi-proof system expansion, and progression toward mainnet.
