I made a high-quality summary of the Twitter Space recording featuring Uphold’s Martin Hiesboeck in conversation with Paul Farhi, CEO of Solidus $AITECH already on #Binance
In a compelling Twitter Space, Paul Farhi shared the journey and vision of Solidus AI Tech, a company evolving from Ethereum mining roots (founded in 2015 by Adrian Stoica) into a leading force in AI infrastructure and services. This interview started properly 7 minutes plus into the space with Dr. Martin Isberg the head of research at Apple, specifically at Apple Institutional where they focus on providing education and execution in the digital asset space. Kicking it up with the full digest of interview at 10 minutes into the space where Paul Farhi shared the following useful information.
From #Ethereum(ETH) Mining to AI Powerhouse
AI Tech pivoted from proof-of-work mining to AI and high-performance computing, leveraging its own Nvidia GPU-powered data center in Romania’s cost-effective Laser Valley. The goal? Build a global, decentralized network of partner data centers to challenge AWS, GCP, and Azure empowering smaller, enterprise-grade providers.
Layered Product Ecosystem
The platform is built on four interconnected layers:
• Compute Marketplace – for compute power access
• AI Marketplace – to deploy and monetize AI models
• Agent Forge – a curated hub of 200+ AI agents with multi-agent collaboration
• AI Tech Pad – a launchpad for ecosystem tools
Supporting Innovation
Through AI Tech Labs, the project offers $2 million in grants for compute-heavy AI innovations, accelerating research and ecosystem growth.
Tokenomics and Real Utility
The AI Tech token underpins platform usage, supports tiered staking benefits, and includes a deflationary burn model to manage supply. Strategic integrations include a debit card with SayBank and an inference-enhancing partnership with Sambanova.
The Rise of Ava
The project’s mascot, Ava, is more than symbolic it’s a functioning AI agent that has even autonomously created tokens, showcasing the platform’s real AI capabilities.
What’s Next?
• Airdrop for Uphold users (and SayBank/blue-chip holders)
• Q3 roadmap and major strategic announcements incoming
