The post Bluwhale Decentralizing AI via Smartphones Gains Momentum Amid Ethereum Verge Upgrade appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

SAN FRANCISCO – December 3, 2024 – As Vitalik Buterin announces the Ethereum upgrade called The Verge—a lighter, “stateless verification” for the Ethereum network using mobile wallets and even smartwatches—Bluwhale, an AI Web3 start-up that already leverages smartphones as nodes to contribute to decentralizing AI, has seen 6,000+ buyers sign up for its Master node whitelist, and more than 10,000 unique buyers participate.

So we had to double down on empowering anyone to run AI nodes from the smartphone in your pocket.” Since the Master Node launch Nov. 22, the Bluwhale node sale has seen considerable traction, with 50,000+ people from 32 countries expressing interest in viewing and participating in the sale.
