Hyra Network Wins WITSA Chairman’s Award for Decentralized AI Innovation

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, August 21, 2025 — Hyra Network, a trailblazing force in decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and sovereign digital infrastructure, has been awarded the Chairman’s Award 2025 at the WITSA Global AI Summit. Organized by the World Innovation, Technology and Services Alliance (WITSA), the award is presented annually to a single recipient recognized for exceptional innovation and global impact [1]. This marks the first time a decentralized AI platform has received such recognition [1].

The Chairman’s Award was presented to Mr. John Tran, Founder and Chairman of Hyra Holdings and Hyra Network, during the summit. Dato’ Dr. Sean Seah Kok Wah, Chairman of WITSA, highlighted that the award is reserved for “truly outstanding initiatives” that demonstrate a high degree of innovation and influence [1]. According to Seah, Hyra Network’s work in developing a decentralized, sovereign AI framework sets a new standard for the industry.

Hyra Network operates as the world’s first decentralized AI infrastructure, built on a Layer-3 blockchain. It integrates a verifiable compute grid with on-chain Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governance, allowing governments, enterprises, and individuals to access and supervise AI systems with transparency and strong privacy protections [1]. The platform functions as an “Operating System for the Era of Digital Sovereignty,” enabling users to deploy, use, and audit AI without dependence on major technology firms [1].

John Tran emphasized the significance of the award, calling it a validation of Hyra’s mission to ensure that every nation and citizen can own their AI infrastructure [1]. “This award is both WITSA’s recognition and Hyra’s unwavering commitment to building a decentralized digital civilization – one that celebrates fairness and puts people in control,” he stated. Hyra’s vision is guided by the principle that “AI is a public resource,” aiming to turn independent, community-owned AI into a tangible reality [1].

As of August 2025, the Hyra Network has connected over 2.7 million devices across 200+ countries, forming a robust foundation for a decentralized AI infrastructure that goes beyond traditional, centralized data centers [1]. The platform is developed by Hyra Tek JCS in Vietnam and operated by Hyra Tek Smart Solution L.L.C in the UAE [1]. With hundreds of thousands of active nodes and a growing global user base, Hyra has demonstrated the scalability of decentralized AI from concept to production [1].

The Hyra ecosystem consists of three core platforms: Hyra AI, which processes data directly on user devices for enhanced security and performance; Hyra Zone, a decentralized GPU training network that offers a more flexible and cost-effective alternative to centralized models; and Hyra Mega, a transparent marketplace for AI models, datasets, and APIs that facilitates fair and secure exchange of digital assets [1]. Together, these components support the development of an open and sovereign AI ecosystem.

The Chairman’s Award 2025 also represents a significant milestone in Hyra’s global expansion strategy. The company previously received recognition at the Globee International Business Awards for technological innovation [1]. With a new regional hub in the UAE, Hyra is strengthening its international footprint and working toward a $10 billion target IPO on Nasdaq by 2030 [1]. This planned listing aims to position Hyra as one of the most influential technology companies in the world [1].

Hyra Network is a subsidiary of Hyra Holdings and operates under a long-term vision of community-centric technology development. It is currently expanding strategic collaborations with governments, investors, and global digital communities [1]. The company is also advancing sustainable and self-determined digital transformation while preparing for its public listing in the coming years [1].

WITSA, a leading global consortium representing over 80 national technology associations, promotes innovation, inclusive digital growth, and responsible technology adoption [1]. The Chairman’s Award is one of the organization’s most prestigious recognitions, honoring initiatives with far-reaching global impact [1].

John Tran, as founder and chairman of Hyra Holdings and Hyra Network, continues to lead the development of a decentralized AI infrastructure aimed at empowering nations and individuals. Under his guidance, Hyra is advancing its Layer-3 blockchain, DAO governance, and practical AI applications, with a clear focus on building a sustainable future for digital sovereignty [1].
