Tashi Network, a company operating as the coordination layer for intelligent systems, has closed an oversubscribed funding round, aiming to empower trustless coordination for robots and AI agents.
The round was co-led by Blockchain Founders Fund (BFF) and Exponential Science Capital (ESC). The roster of participants also included Taisu Ventures and MN Capital.
The deal also attracted high-profile industry angels, including Gabby Dizon, co-founder of Yield Guild Games, and Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph and former CFO of Binance.

The capital raised will be used to support rapid network growth and the company’s upcoming token launch on the Solana ecosystem.
Based in Singapore and California, Tashi focuses on replacing centralised coordination systems with a verifiable, distributed framework that allows machines to synchronise, validate, and settle actions in real time, without relying on central servers.
The company’s technology essentially transforms coordination itself into a form of currency; something that is measurable, rewardable, and tradable across the intelligent economy.
The startup’s experienced team of serial entrepreneurs has had multiple previous successful exits, including one sale valued at US$34 million to a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Amar Bedi, CEO of Tashi, previously held roles at tech giants Grab, Uber, and KPMG.
“The next computing revolution will allow trustless coordination among edge devices,” stated Bedi. He emphasised that Tashi’s core consensus technology, known as Vertex, enables the offering of “trust-preserving, global-scale coordination without any servers for the first time.”
Solving the centralisation problem
Tashi was explicitly designed to address existing industry challenges, as evidenced by the recent major outages experienced by companies like AWS. Current systems, including centralised clouds and global chains, often fail to deliver the instant, local coordination required by AI, robotics, and autonomous systems.
The company addresses this foundational problem by bridging decentralised physical infrastructure network (DePIN) with a novel approach to peer-to-peer consensus.
To understand how Tashi operates, imagine a massive orchestra composed entirely of robot musicians and AI conductors. Normally, they rely on one powerful, centralised maestro (a server) to tell them when and how to play. If that maestro has a cough or disappears, the entire concert stops.

Tashi, however, gives every single musician a small, independent mechanism to verify and synchronise their actions with everyone else instantly and securely. This means they can perform a complex symphony perfectly without any single conductor being in charge, ensuring the music never stops.
The firm is already demonstrating significant traction; it has built products targeting specific industries and currently boasts over 100 ecosystem partners and has secured early paying clients. Its DePIN already supports more than 50,000 nodes, which are run by the community.
