Founded in 2023, Pond initially focused on using on-chain data to help users explore the profiles and connections of crypto users. Now, the startup is pivoting to a platform for building Web3 AI models.

Pond 成立于 2023 年，最初专注于利用链上数据帮助用户探索加密货币用户的个人资料和联系。现在，这家初创公司正在转向构建 Web3 AI 模型的平台。

“We are building a complete model ecosystem, not only building our own models but also helping others create and commercialize their models,” CTO Bill Shi told The Block.

“我们正在构建一个完整的模型生态系统，不仅构建我们自己的模型，还帮助其他人创建他们的模型并将其商业化，”首席技术官 Bill Shi 告诉 The Block。

According to Shi, Pond's Web3 AI models are designed to power crypto-specific use cases driven by on-chain data.

据 Shi 介绍，Pond 的 Web3 AI 模型旨在为由链上数据驱动的加密特定用例提供支持。

“On-chain data is extremely messy and vast in quantity, making it incomprehensible to the human mind. By leveraging AI capabilities, we transform what is beyond human understanding into comprehensible information, helping users make better use of on-chain data,” he said.

“链上数据极其混乱且数量庞大，人类思维无法理解。通过利用人工智能能力，我们将人类无法理解的内容转化为可理解的信息，帮助用户更好地利用链上数据。”

The fundraising was structured as a SAFE with token warrants, Pond co-founder and CEO Dylan Zhang told The Block.
