Hyra Network announced a strategic partnership with XDC Network to build decentralized AI infrastructure and enterprise-grade blockchain technology. This partnership marks a key moment in the convergence of decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN) and institutional finance. Both platforms leverage their unique strengths to power new opportunities in global trade.
Enterprise blockchain meets sovereign AI
Hyra Network is an award-winning company that has established itself as a leading source for AI infrastructure. The project is based on a layer 3 blockchain with over 2.7 million connected devices in 205 countries, providing a total of over 360,000 TFLOPS of computing power.
The XDC network is established as a blockchain for enterprise solutions, especially in trade finance and real-world asset tokenization. The network recently acquired Contour to strengthen its robust coin integration and trade finance capabilities. In collaboration with Archax, XDC brought BlackRock, Fidelity, and State Street money market funds to the blockchain. Transaction speeds of just two seconds and extremely low fees make XDC attractive for financial institutions to modernize their financial infrastructure.
Hyra provides distributed GPU computing power, allowing XDC to enhance its smart contract capabilities with machine learning and predictive analytics. XDC provides Hyra with a proven, enterprise-ready blockchain framework that integrates traditional financial systems and meets international standards.
Developing new use cases in trade finance
The most interesting aspect of this partnership is its ability to influence trade finance, a $5 trillion industry, but it also fails to overcome problems of inefficiency. Hyra’s AI-powered data processing and XDC’s blockchain infrastructure for digitizing letters of credit have the potential to significantly reduce processing time and costs for international business transactions.
This integration provides both networks with the opportunity to take advantage of the massive growth in RWA tokenization. Industry projections suggest that the tokenized RWA market will grow from approximately $11.5 billion in early 2025 to $30 trillion by 2030. With XDC’s institutional partnership and Hyra’s decentralized computing capabilities for complex data analysis, this partnership has the potential to accelerate the adoption of tokenized assets across multiple sectors.
This partnership solves critical AI challenges: affordability and decentralization of computing power. While technology companies control most of the GPU infrastructure, the Hyra network has access to the computing power. Combined with XDC’s low cost transaction settlement rates, this creates an environment where AI programs can be effectively implemented without the use of a centralized cloud provider.
Strategic timing in a rapidly evolving situation
This partnership comes at a time when both AI and blockchain technology are on the rise. Funding for AI-based blockchain protocols exceeded $2.5 billion in the first half of 2025, demonstrating strong investor confidence. Hyra Network’s recently approved $500 million innovation fund and Nasdaq IPO plan through 2030 demonstrate a long-term commitment to building a robust infrastructure.
XDC Network has been very active, launching the second RWA Tokenization Accelerator program in collaboration with Plug and Play Tech Center and achieving Platinum Sponsor status at the 2025 RWA London Summit. The network had omnichain capabilities with LayerZero and Stargate integration, and could also connect to Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, and other blockchains.
Hyra works with networks that are deemed compliant, and organizational adoption is a critical step in transforming decentralized AI infrastructure into enterprise-grade use cases.
conclusion
The partnership between Hyra and XDC is more than just a technology integration, it is a transformation in the approach to digital transformation of businesses and outlines the key challenges that mean large organizations are unable to fully leverage Web3 technology. This solves a major problem that prevents large organizations from fully adopting Web3 technology. With XDC’s track record of institutional adoption and Hyra’s innovative approach to decentralized AI, this collaboration could be an example of the future of blockchain infrastructure. Built to be secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready.
