DGrid AI reports $20M revenue, 13,000 paid Genesis users

DGrid AI reported $20 million in revenue for its first six months of operation and more than 13,000 paid members in its Genesis premium program. The company also reported 50,000 daily active users and 500,000 monthly active users across its ecosystem as it prepares for a planned DGAI token generation event.

Revenue was driven primarily by the Genesis premium program. DGrid reported an average revenue per Genesis user of about $1,580. Genesis members pay for network access and receive benefits tied to AI usage, hardware allocations, monthly token credits, AI model services and membership NFTs. The company says those NFTs are linked to 25% of DGAI emission rights distributed over ten years. DGrid publishes its treasury activity on-chain via a public BNB Chain Safe wallet to allow outside verification of funds.

On-chain engagement grew after DGrid launched Arena for Agent on BNB Chain. The product has supported more than 10,000 agent deployments under the ERC-8004 standard and attracted more than 200,000 participants, adding over 5,000 daily on-chain active users to BNB Chain, the company reported. Arena presents the same prompt to two AI models anonymously; users choose the stronger response and earn points that are tied to future DGAI distribution. Those selections feed data into DGrid’s smart routing system to compare models repeatedly while keeping the task simple for users.

DGrid’s product lineup includes AI Gateway, Dori and DClaw. AI Gateway provides a single access point for multiple models and accepts payments in USDT, USDC and BNB, aimed at developers and businesses that want model access without separate integrations. Dori helps developers discover and select models for specific use cases, and DClaw enables deployment of personal AI agents across messaging platforms such as Telegram, Discord, WeChat and Feishu. The company plans a marketplace where model providers can list services and earn revenue through the Gateway and offers a Proof of Quality layer meant to verify model performance, pricing and delivery standards.

The project cites academic research that underpins parts of its architecture, including work on Proof of Quality, optimistic TEE rollups and cost-aware proofs related to service verification and cost control. The team includes Ph.D.-level contributors from institutions such as Stony Brook University. Founder and CEO Alex is described by the company as having more than 10 years of experience in blockchain operations, five years in machine learning and over three years in training and fine-tuning large language models.

DGrid entered the token launch phase with revenue from Genesis membership, growing Arena participation and multiple products in place. The company lists the next steps as a planned token generation event and continued rollout of model marketplace features and routing verification.
