Gate Ventures announces a collaboration with Solana Superteam UK and the Cambridge Blockchain Society to jointly launch the Web3 (Open-web) & AI Frontier Program. This strategic initiative aims to promote exploration in the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence, supporting and nurturing a new generation of forward-thinking innovators.
The Web3 (Open-web) & AI Frontier Program focuses on incubating early-stage projects from top academic institutions such as the University of Cambridge, providing funding support, technical guidance, and direct access to the global blockchain ecosystem. The program places a high emphasis on research-oriented innovation, focusing on scalable solutions in key areas such as blockchain infrastructure, decentralized finance (DeFi), and AI applications built on the Solana network.
The program will provide investment amounts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 for selected projects, with flexible agreement terms. In addition to financial support, participating projects will receive comprehensive post-investment services, including guidance from seasoned practitioners, strategic business development advice, and access to a professional talent network in the blockchain and Web3 fields.
The Web3 (Open-web) & AI Frontier Program integrates the core strengths of the three initiating organizations: Gate Ventures as a venture capital platform focused on promoting blockchain innovation, providing early-stage investments and strategic support to help projects grow; Solana Superteam UK possesses deep expertise in the Solana ecosystem and a strong developer community; while the Cambridge Blockchain Society is an academic organization leading blockchain research at the University of Cambridge, connecting students, researchers, and industry practitioners to jointly advance technological exploration and application practices.
By bridging the gap between academic research and practical application, the Web3 (Open-web) & AI Frontier Program is committed to discovering breakthrough projects with long-term value and real-world impact. The program showcases the shared commitment of the three partnering organizations to nurture visionary entrepreneurs and accelerate the adoption and application of Web3 technology globally.
The deep integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence is accelerating the transformation of the next generation of digital infrastructure, and the Web3 (Open-web) & AI Frontier Program will become an important force in empowering early builders and shaping the decentralized future of the internet. The program is now live and is recruiting innovative projects globally.
