Pundi X and PROM Explore Collaboration to Connect AI Data Infrastructure and Machine-Native Finance

Pundi X, a global technology company building blockchain and AI-driven solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration with PROM, the economic layer for autonomous AI agents. Through Pundi AI, its decentralized AI data initiative, we are exploring how community owned data infrastructure and machine-native finance can combine to power the next generation of autonomous AI systems.

PROM is building the foundational financial infrastructure that enables AI agents to transact, coordinate tasks, and exchange services independently. Secured by a modular zkEVM architecture, PROM is designed for machine-scale operations: high-frequency micropayments, programmable service agreements, automated task verification, and agent-to-agent settlements without human intervention. As AI agents become independent economic actors, PROM provides the rails that make autonomous finance not just possible, but practical at scale.

Pundi AI, the AI initiative of Pundi X, is building the open data layer that powers these intelligent systems. Through its AI Data Platform, Data Marketplace, and Data Pump, Pundi AI enables communities to contribute, label, verify, and own AI training data as onchain assets. The result is a growing library of community curated, verifiable datasets that AI agents, developers, and enterprises can access and build on.

This collaboration brings together two complementary layers of the emerging AI economy. Pundi AI provides the data and model access layer, helping developers, users, and intelligent agents execute tasks and build real AI-driven services. PROM adds the economic layer that makes these systems truly functional at scale, enabling micropayments, escrow, and automated settlements between agents, users, and services.

Together, this opens the door to a new model where AI services do not just run, they transact, monetize, and coordinate natively. From pay-per-inference and on-demand AI execution to agent-to-agent data transactions, this collaboration explores how intelligence and value exchange can operate together in one seamless, autonomous flow. Datasets from Pundi AI’s marketplace become not just training assets but active economic inputs in agent workflows, discoverable, accessible, and payable through PROM’s machine-native finance infrastructure.

What’s Next

Pundi X and PROM will work together to explore how Pundi AI’s community curated datasets can be made accessible and transactable within PROM’s agent economic infrastructure. The collaboration will look at specific use cases including pay-per-inference, onchain data access agreements, and agent-to-agent data transactions, as well as joint community initiatives that bring both ecosystems closer to the shared vision of open, autonomous, and fairly rewarded AI systems.

Together, Pundi X and PROM are laying the groundwork for an AI economy where data, intelligence, and economic coordination operate as one, built in public and owned by the communities that power it.

About PROM

PROM is the economic layer for autonomous AI agents, building foundational infrastructure that enables AI agents to interact economically at machine scale. Secured by a modular zkEVM architecture, PROM supports programmable payment conditions, automated service agreements, and high-frequency micropayments designed for agent-to-agent and machine-to-machine transactions. Its AI-native extensions include dedicated modules for agent identity, task verification, and autonomous economic coordination. Originally founded in 2019 as Prometeus Network, PROM launched its zk-based Layer-2 network in 2024 and has since evolved into the dedicated economic infrastructure for the autonomous AI economy.
