Why TachyonX
Unlike traditional accelerators, TachyonX combines deep Web3 expertise with a focused vision for AI integration. Our program provides not just capital, but access to a thriving ecosystem of technical founders pushing the boundaries of what's possible when AI meets cryptography.
$TACHYON
Concurrently with this cohort debut, we will launch the first-of-its-kind token system to align founders, mentors, and the broader ecosystem alongside each cohort’s ecosystem partners, ensuring projects secure the best technical mentorship, code reviews, ML/AI consults, audits, architecture reviews, GTM advice and more. We are building the future of decentralized investments. Subscribe to our newsletter here and follow us on X for updates.
