The company offers an AI-powered infrastructure that aims to execute complex logic currently beyond smart contracts.


While AI adoption maintains an uptrend across all business verticals, issues such as high compute costs, limited hardware access and centralized APIs hinder the full potential of the current AI stack. As explained in Ritual’s introductory post:“The grand vision for Ritual is to become the schelling point of AI in the web3 space by evolving Infernet into a modular suite of execution layers that interop with other base layer infrastructure in the ecosystem, allowing every protocol and application on any chain to use Ritual as a AI Coprocessor.”

Ritual’s protocol diagram reveals the use of modular execution layers revolving around AI models. The GMP layer — consisting of layer 1, rollups and sovereign — “facilitates interop between existing blockchains and Ritual Superchain, which functions as an AI coprocessor for all blockchains.”


Investors including Balaji Srinivasan, Accomplice, Robot Ventures, Accel, Dialectic, Anagram, Avra and Hypersphere joined the $25 million Series A funding round. The funding will be used to grow Ritual’s developer network and start seeding the network.
