oodash Group AB (publ) ("OODA AI" or the "Company") is entering into a strategic partnership with Obol Labs Inc. (“Obol”), a leading innovator in distributed validator (DV) technology. Through this partnership, the two organizations will explore how node operators securing Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains within Obol’s validator ecosystem can seamlessly offer compute capacity for AI inference tasks on OODA AI’s decentralized network, bolstering the supply of AI compute resources while maintaining trust and security.

About Obol
Obol is a U.S.-based technology company that develops decentralized validator infrastructure for proof-of-stake blockchain networks like Ethereum. By splitting validator responsibilities among multiple participants, Obol’s technology provides superior byzantine fault tolerance and mitigates operational risks. Obol also fosters a vibrant ecosystem of staking protocols, enterprise node operators, and home validators collaborating to achieve higher levels of decentralization, security, and performance in blockchain networks.

Its Distributed Validators (DV) have already attracted over $800 million in staked capital. Its ecosystem currently consists of 10,543 active validators. Beyond Ethereum, Obol DVs have been adopted on other blockchains such as Gnosis Chain and are also being explored on Monad to bolster liquid staking protocols. Institutional applications are accelerating, with Quay Cove leveraging DVs for its staked ETH fund with institutional investors and partners like insurance providers Relm and Chainproof readying coverage options for institutional participants.

Strategic Partnership
Under this partnership, OODA AI and Obol will jointly explore integrations that empower node operators to use their hardware resources to perform AI inference workloads. This could open up new revenue streams for node operators by participating in OODA AI’s decentralized AI computation network. In turn, OODA AI’s network gains scalable, distributed hardware resources, run by credentialed, experienced operators, capable of handling high-volume AI inference tasks.

Compute Provisioning: Obol will assess dedicating parts of its node infrastructure to support AI inference tasks on OODA AI’s decentralized AI computing network. In exchange, contributors may earn tokens, promoting a dual incentive model for compute and staking participants. The partnership will also consider integration in a custom hardware solution that allows blockchain node operators to seamlessly switch between validating blockchain networks and providing AI inference compute to the OODA AI network.

Research & Development: Both companies will jointly investigate how hardware resources within the Obol ecosystem can be set up and optimized to support confidential AI workloads, including novel intersections of validator infrastructure and AI inference systems.

Community & Ecosystem: The partnership includes cross-promotion through events, marketing, and technical publications. It will highlight collaborative innovations that combine Obol’s DV ecosystem with OODA AI’s scalable and decentralized AI platform.

“This is an exciting opportunity to merge two advanced domains: Decentralized AI computation and secure staking infrastructure. Our partnership with Obol opens the door to a future where validators can contribute resources to AI tasks and be rewarded with our token, creating new economic models across Web3 and AI.” said Arli Charles Mujkic, CEO of oodash Group AB.

“We’re excited to partner with OODA AI to expand our decentralized operator ecosystem into the realm of AI inference. Our shared focus on decentralization and robust security provides a natural synergy. We believe this partnership will create new opportunities for node operators and help drive global adoption of advanced, decentralized infrastructure.” said Collin Myers, CEO at Obol Labs.

Next Steps
As part of this initiative, OODA AI and Obol will conduct pilot projects, refine the required tooling and explore potential commercial models. The companies will also collaborate on developer engagement, hackathons, and open-source contributions.
