Solana News Today: 375ai's $10M Boost: Democratizing Data to Reshape Smart Cities and AI

375ai, a decentralized edge data intelligence network built on Solana, has secured $10 million in funding following a $5 million round led by Delphi Ventures, Strobe Capital, and HackVC, with additional participation from 6MV, ARCA, EV3, Peaq, and Heartcore. The funding will accelerate development of Solana-based decentralized data networks and prepare for a token generation event (TGE) scheduled for late October 2025. The project's roadmap includes expanding engineering capacity, enhancing network infrastructure, and launching developer tools to support decentralized edge data transmission.

The 375ai network leverages AI and blockchain to process real-time data at the edge, enabling applications such as smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and targeted advertising. By decentralizing data collection and processing, the platform aims to improve privacy and efficiency while incentivizing node operators and data contributors through token rewards. The project has already deployed hardware nodes in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, with plans for international expansion in 2026.

Solana's ecosystem has shown renewed momentum, with the SOL token rising 41.51% over 90 days as of October 2025, trading at $221.25 with a market cap of $120.85 billion. Analysts attribute this growth to increased developer activity and infrastructure projects like 375ai, which align with Solana's focus on low-latency, high-throughput data solutions. The 375ai team has also launched a mobile app, 375go, which has attracted 150,000+ registered devices across 170 countries, further expanding the network's reach.

The upcoming TGE in October will mark a critical milestone for 375ai, with plans to finalize token economics and launch a public sale to raise additional capital. The project's tokenomics allocate 30% of the total 1 billion $375AI tokens for network incentives and 25% for an ecosystem fund. Fractionalized ownership of 375edge nodes is also planned for Q2 2026, allowing broader participation in the network's infrastructure.

Investor confidence in 375ai reflects broader trends in decentralized infrastructure. Tommy Shaughnessy of Delphi Ventures highlighted the project's potential to "transform entire sectors" by compressing raw data into actionable intelligence. The funding validates 375ai's mission to democratize real-world data, a market currently dominated by centralized entities. With 300,000 users on its testnet and partnerships with IoT providers like AYDO, the project is positioned to scale rapidly as it transitions to mainnet in early 2026.
