EU Awards €1.5M Grant to AIxBlock, with €61.5M More Pre-Approved and Under Multi-Stage Review

We’re excited to announce EU-backed funding to accelerate AIxBlock’s mission: building open, modular, and privacy-first AI infrastructure

We’re thrilled to share a major milestone: AIxBlock has officially secured a €1.5 million innovation grant from the European Union, with an additional €61.5 million in pre-approved funding currently under multi-stage review to accelerate future phases of our decentralized AI infrastructure across Europe.

This is more than a funding announcement — it’s a strong signal that the future of AI infrastructure is decentralized, open, and community-powered.

Backed to Build the Future of Decentralized AI

Unlike traditional funding, this €1.5M grant is non-dilutive and comes with zero equity trade-off. Onboarding (KYC) is already underway, and the funding will deepen our technology footprint in the EU while maintaining full ownership and operational independence.

The additional pre-approved €61.5M in provisionally allocated public funding across two additional grants is currently under review as part of a multi-phase approval process. This pipeline is expected to support the buildout of a decentralized GPU network, leveraging underutilized data centers across the region to deliver scalable, eco-aligned infrastructure in future phases

This grant isn’t just for us — it’s for builders, developers, contributors, and compute providers who believe in open AI.

What We’re Building at AIxBlock?

AIxBlock is the unified platform for end-to-end AI development and automation — built for AI teams, startups, and enterprises. With AIxBlock, you can:

  • Train and fine-tune models with decentralized GPU resources
  • Automate business workflows by connecting models to real-time triggers and 300+ supported apps
  • Self-host instantly, ensuring control over privacy, compliance, and infrastructure
  • Access an open ecosystem of models, datasets, compute providers, and automation tools

At its core, AIxBlock is built to give ownership back to builders. No vendor lock-in. Just modular, affordable, decentralized AI infrastructure.

Open Source, Open Contribution

We're building AIxBlock as an open platform — and we’re inviting developers, researchers, validators, and contributors to help shape it. Contributors can earn long-term revenue and benefit sharing based on their contributions, tracked transparently over time.

From infrastructure providers to data validators, everyone who helps build the ecosystem is rewarded proportionately.

Powered by Blockchain Coordination

Blockchain isn’t just an add-on. It’s the foundation of how we coordinate contributions and rewards across the network:

  • On-chain monetization for contributors and compute providers
  • Transparent usage tracking for models and compute nodes
  • Validator systems to ensure data quality, model reliability, and contributor trust
  • Future DAO governance, enabling the community to help steer AIxBlock’s evolution in an accountable way

This ensures that incentives stay aligned, trust is built in, and the system remains scalable.

Scaling Through Europe — Sustainably

AIxBlock’s roadmap emphasizes efficiency, sustainability, and sovereignty. By tapping into underutilized data centers across Europe, the platform plans to scale compute capacity without building entirely new infrastructure.

This approach not only reduces environmental impact but also strengthens Europe’s digital independence. The planned expansion, supported by the €61.5M funding pipeline, marks a major step toward building a decentralized GPU network rooted in Europe.

What’s Next: A Community‑Driven Roadmap

With EU support, we’re doubling down on infrastructure and community:

  • Faster, cheaper compute (next phase): EU‑based H100s, A100s, and 4090s at up to 90% lower cost
  • Expanded contributor rewards: Transparent revenue sharing for developers who help grow the ecosystem
  • Community governance (soon): You’ll help shape the platform’s direction through DAO‑based governance

We’ve already onboarded 12,000+ users organically, including enterprise teams building large‑scale model workflows. That’s only possible because of the builders and contributors who believe in open, transparent AI infrastructure.

Gaining Attention Across the Ecosystem

AIxBlock’s mission has been recognized across leading tech and Web3 outlets:

🗞 In the media

These features reflect a growing global consensus: decentralized AI infrastructure isn’t just viable — it’s essential.

Ready to Lead

This EU funding validates our technical roadmap and long-term positioning — and gives us the resources to move faster. It also provides the regulatory confidence that institutions and enterprises increasingly expect when adopting new infrastructure.

We're not just building tooling. We’re building the AI operating layer for Europe and beyond.
