PANews reported on December 19 that according to Cryptonews, Skynet, a decentralized AI agent payment protocol, has completed a $1.2 million Pre-Seed round of financing. This round of financing was donated by well-known angel investors from GitHub, Polygon, Veracode and Monotype. The funds will be used to develop "The World's Resource Blockchain", a system designed to connect global resources, enabling artificial intelligence agents to autonomously execute payments and perform tasks across multiple platforms.

According to reports, the Skynet interface provides AI agents with access to resources, transaction functions, and integration with decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple virtual machines (VMs). Skynet's infrastructure is built on Arbitrum's Orbit chain, providing payment and tracking mechanisms. This enables AI agents to complete real-life tasks, including booking flights, managing accommodation, and handling financial portfolios.
