Planck Network Unveils World’s First Layer-0 for AI: Announces Backers

Decentralized AI network Planck Network has unveiled the world’s first Layer 0 blockchain designed specifically for decentralized AI-driven services. The announcement comes as Planck Network unveils some of its key backers, including highly visible individuals and companies from the Web3 industry such as Tether co-founder Brock Pierce, DNA Fund, and GDA Capital.

The modular layer 0 blockchain network, called the Planck network, will serve as the foundation for launching the first layer of artificial intelligence, colocation, and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs). This will enable Web3 entrepreneurs to integrate AI directly into decentralized services and networks, eliminating the need to manually build connections with models or computing networks.

The Planck network uses a global GPU processing network, with $40 million worth of specialized AI hardware already deployed or committed to the ecosystem. By bringing this massive parallel processing power to Web3 entrepreneurs on more than 30 blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Near, and Polkadot, Planck Network is positioning itself as the bedrock of decentralized AI services.

When discussing the unveiling of the Blank Network, CEO Diem Hamstra said, “The Blank Network is not just a blockchain – it is an entire infrastructure layer designed specifically for AI and DePIN. By combining high-performance hardware, modular blockchain design, and real-world revenue streams, we are enabling developers and enterprises to build the future of decentralized AI without the constraints of centralized clouds.”

About the Planck network

The Planck Network is the world’s first layer 0 blockchain network for AI and DePIN, providing scalable and cost-effective computing infrastructure for decentralized AI applications. With a two-tier modular architecture, enterprise-grade GPUs, and a robust token ecosystem, Planck Network redefines the intersection between blockchain, AI, and physical infrastructure.

Basic architecture

Planck mesh offers a unique two-layer structure–Planck grid and Planck grid – To power AI models, decentralized cloud services, and next-generation physical infrastructure networks. This complete platform combines high-performance GPU hardware, native collectibles, token computing rewards, and interoperable blockchain solutions to eliminate hashing and vendor lock-in.

• Planck network: A modular, layer 0 blockchain layer that provides a shared validation infrastructure, interoperable GPU compute, and seamless cross-chain messaging via the Planck network tunnel (powered by VIA Labs). It supports more than 30 blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Near, and Polkadot, and integrates USDC payment paths for stablecoin interoperability. The Planck network enables the launch of sovereign layer 1 chains with instant access to security, computation, and liquidity.
• Planck network: Layer 1 EVM compliant optimized for AI computation, powering… Planck AI Cloud Network and AI Studio. Secured by enterprise-level GPU players, the Planck Network focuses on high-performance AI workloads, including training, inference, and fine-tuning, without supporting token launches or Layer 2.

Key products: Planck Network AI Cloud and AI Studio

the Planck AI Cloud Network It provides decentralized access to high-end GPUs (H100s, A100s, B200s, H200s, RTX 4090s, and more) at up to 90% lower cost than traditional cloud providers, with robust SLAs and elastic, bare-metal compute. Developers can launch and schedule AI tasks via the GPU controller, paying in USDC or the native $PLANCK token, with revenue-driven buybacks integrated into the tokenology.

the Artificial Intelligence Studio It provides a low-code environment for rapid deployment of an AI model, offering:

• Instant publishing of open source or proprietary models
• Pipeline automation and data set management
• Control and reasoning on the chain
• Support for custom modules and advanced formatting

Together, these products enable developers and enterprises to build AI applications in hours, not weeks, without the constraints of centralized cloud providers.

$PLANCK code and staking architecture

The $PLANCK token is a key component of the ecosystem, working to:

• GPU staking: Share operators to check uptime and access workloads.
• Imad Al-Saeed (LPLANCK): Users lock $PLANCK to get a token to rebase, earn rewards, and unlock additional utilities.
• Participation in staking: LLANCK owners delegate GPU clusters and share revenue and emissions.
• Judgment: LLANCK holders participate in the DAO, emissions management, rewards, and ecosystem strategy.
• Fiat-backed buybacks: Revenue from GPU jobs, primarily in USDC, is used to buy back $PLANCK, boosting demand and value for stakeholders.

Supported by industry leaders

The Blank Network is backed by prominent figures and organizations in Web 3 infrastructure and AI, including:

• Brooke Pierceco-founder of Tether and architect of the $4 billion EOS token surge.
• DNA boxa leading Web3 venture company co-founded by Pierce and Scott Walker.
• JDA Capitalled by Michael Jorde, a specialist in coding and market making.
• DeepinX Capitalcontributing more than $30 million in enterprise-level GPUs.
• Rollman managementcompliance and infrastructure support with over $200 million allocated to GPU hardware and data center acquisitions.

Planck Network has raised over $3.5 million in early-stage capital, with an additional $4 million earmarked for token sales.
