Hyra Network Wins 2025 Chairman’s Award for Pioneering Decentralized AI Infrastructure at WITSA Global AI Summit in Dubai

Hyra Network has been awarded the Chairman’s Award 2025 at the WITSA Global AI Summit, marking a significant milestone in its mission to develop decentralized AI infrastructure. The award, presented by the World Innovation, Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA), recognizes Hyra Network as the world’s first decentralized AI platform to receive such an honor [1]. The event took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on August 21, 2025, and was attended by global leaders in AI and digital transformation [2].

John Tran, Founder and Chairman of Hyra Holdings and Hyra Network, accepted the award and emphasized its significance as both a technological recognition and a validation of the company’s long-term vision. He stated that the award reflects Hyra’s commitment to ensuring that every nation and individual can own and control their AI infrastructure [3]. Dato’ Dr. Sean Seah Kok Wah, Chairman of WITSA, praised Hyra Network for its innovative approach, calling it a “benchmark” for the future of AI [4].

Hyra Network operates as a decentralized AI infrastructure built on a Layer-3 blockchain, combining a verifiable compute grid with on-chain DAO governance through its Hyra AI platform. This architecture allows for transparent and secure access to AI tools by governments, enterprises, and individuals, while maintaining strong privacy protections [5]. The company has connected over 2.7 million devices across more than 200 countries as of August 2025, laying a robust foundation for sovereign AI beyond traditional data centers [6].

The recognition adds to a growing list of accolades for Hyra Network, including its previous win at the Globee International Business Awards for technology innovation. This latest honor is seen as a significant step in the company’s globalization strategy, reinforcing its position as a leader in the convergence of AI and blockchain technologies [7]. The award also highlights the broader trend of AI being leveraged to enhance decentralized systems, particularly in sectors like fintech and data management.

Hyra Network’s ecosystem includes three core platforms: Hyra AI, a verifiable AI inference platform that processes data locally on user devices; Hyra Zone, a decentralized GPU training network; and Hyra Mega, a marketplace for AI models, datasets, and APIs. Together, these platforms function as an “Operating System for the Era of Digital Sovereignty,” enabling users to independently deploy, use, and audit AI without reliance on centralized vendors [8].

The Chairman’s Award is among the most prestigious honors at the WITSA summit, typically reserved for initiatives that demonstrate exceptional innovation and global impact. Hyra Network’s recognition underscores its role in advancing AI as a public resource and highlights the potential of decentralized infrastructure in shaping the next phase of digital transformation [9].
