Units Network Raises $10M for AI-Blockchain Innovation
On June 19, 2025, Units Network, a blockchain ecosystem built on the Waves Protocol, raised $10 million in a funding round led by Nimbus Capital, a private investment firm specializing in cross-border transactions and blockchain innovation. The capital will accelerate the development of AI-powered tools and expand the network’s infrastructure, positioning Units Network as a leader in the growing intersection of artificial intelligence and blockchain technology.
Driving Innovation with AI and Blockchain
The investment will fuel two key initiatives: an AI Launchpad and an AI Liquidity Manager. The Launchpad will simplify the process for developers creating on-chain projects, enabling innovators to build decentralized solutions more easily. The Liquidity Manager will enhance market efficiency, creating fairer and more accessible trading environments for developers and users.
The funding will also strengthen Units Network’s infrastructure by scaling validator capacity and improving cross-chain liquidity. Leveraging modular architecture and native re-staking technology, these upgrades will ensure the network can meet rising demand as its AI-driven products roll out later this year.
Nimbus Capital’s Strategic Investment
Nimbus Capital, backed by In On Capital with over $1.3 billion in assets under management, recognizes Units Network’s potential in the blockchain-AI space. The firm views the Launchpad and Liquidity Manager as critical tools for shaping the next generation of decentralized markets.
The blockchain-AI sector is seeing rapid growth, valued at $0.7 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2029, with a 28% annual growth rate. Overall blockchain spending is expected to surge from $20.1 billion in 2024 to nearly $249 billion by 2029. Retail interest is also strong, with AI-linked crypto tokens growing from a $2.7 billion market value to over $26 billion in the past year, outpacing bitcoin’s performance.
What the Ecosystem Gains:
- Accelerated AI Development: Enables faster deployment of the AI Launchpad and Liquidity Manager, empowering developers with cutting-edge tools.
- Enhanced Network Capacity: Boosts validator scalability and cross-chain liquidity, ensuring robust performance for growing user and project demands.
- Community Growth Support: Funds Units DAO’s performance grants, incentivizing projects that drive at least $1 million in total value locked to the network.
- Market Efficiency Gains: Supports the creation of fairer, more accessible trading environments through AI-driven liquidity management.
- Strategic Ecosystem Expansion: Strengthens Units Network’s position in the blockchain-AI sector, fostering innovation and interoperability.
Empowering Community Growth with Units DAO
The funding complements the recent launch of Units DAO, a community-driven initiative offering performance grants for projects that attract at least $1 million in total value locked to the network. These grants will support a robust pipeline of new applications, capitalizing on Units Network’s strengths in scalability, decentralization, and interoperability to foster a vibrant ecosystem as the AI Launchpad prepares for its public debut.
With advanced technology and strategic backing from Nimbus Capital, Units Network is poised to drive the future of decentralized innovation, merging AI and blockchain to build a more intelligent and interconnected digital economy.
