OORT’s decentralized AI Layer1 blockchain, Olympus Protocol, has officially integrated Circle-issued stablecoin USDC, marking a significant step in bridging decentralized AI (DeAI) with real-world utility. This integration enhances Olympus’ ecosystem by introducing financial stability and liquidity, allowing AI-driven transactions to be processed securely and efficiently.
Advancing AI Transactions with Stablecoin Support
Olympus Protocol is now the first AI-focused decentralized ecosystem to incorporate USDC, offering businesses and developers access to a stable and reliable financial infrastructure. AI companies utilizing Olympus for storage and compute power can now seamlessly conduct USDC transactions, while developers can use the stablecoin to pay for decentralized cloud computing services.
Unlike previous Layer1 blockchains that have integrated USDC, Olympus Protocol stands out due to its specialization in DeAI. This unique positioning provides access to the rapidly expanding AI sector within the decentralized crypto space, making it a pioneer in facilitating AI-powered transactions.
The Rise of AI in Decentralized Finance
Since 2024, AI-based trading technologies have gained traction, with traders increasingly relying on AI Agents for executing trades. As of now, AI tokens collectively hold a market capitalization exceeding $22 billion, according to CoinGecko. Olympus Protocol’s USDC integration further strengthens the foundation for AI-driven applications in decentralized finance (DeFi), enterprise AI, data monetization, and AI-powered identity and reputation systems.
Expanding DeAI Use Cases
With USDC’s stability and Olympus Protocol’s robust AI environment, developers can leverage the blockchain for an array of projects, including:
- AI-powered lending, staking, and trading solutions
- Secure data storage and monetization platforms
- Decentralized AI model training and inference services
- Reputation and identity verification systems powered by AI
Through these applications, Olympus Protocol aims to drive exponential growth and innovation within the AI and blockchain sectors.
OORT’s Role in Powering Decentralized AI
Olympus Protocol is powered by OORT, a trustless AI-based infrastructure designed for enterprises and individual users. OORT’s suite of products includes OORT Storage, OORT DataHub for B2C and B2B applications, and the upcoming OORT Compute.
Previously, OORT secured $10 million in funding from leading investors, including Taisu Venture, Red Beard Venture, and Sanctor Capital. Additionally, the project has received grants from Microsoft and Google, further validating its potential in the AI and blockchain industries.
As Olympus Protocol continues to develop its DeAI ecosystem, the integration of USDC is expected to play a pivotal role in fostering a seamless and efficient financial framework, solidifying its position at the forefront of AI-driven blockchain innovation.
