About

ChainOpera AI is a platform for building, distributing, and operating multi-agent AI applications across DeFi and other digital services. It offers an AI terminal that aggregates community-built agents, a developer platform with templates, SDKs and blockchain integration for deploying agents, and a model and GPU layer that provides distributed compute and model hosting for training and inference. The protocol layer records ownership, contributions and execution on-chain, allowing users, developers and resource providers to coordinate incentives and usage for AI agents and related crypto activities.

History

ChainOpera was co-founded by Dr. Aiden He and Prof. Salman Avestimehr - a professor at USC. Avestimehr directs the USC-Amazon Centre on Trustworthy AI. He has industry experience at major technology firms and co-created the FedML framework.

In January 2025, ChainOpera released their whitepaper and launched CO-AI Alliance - an open initiative for collaboration between developers, enterprises, and community members to advance decentralized AI applications.

In June 2025, the team unveiled their full-stack super agent AI economy. This includes an Application Layer, Agent Developer Layer, Model & GPU Layer and a Protocol Layer.
