Today, Textile and 3Box Labs have officially merged to create something bigger than ourselves: the intelligence layer for AI. You can read full coverage in today’s CoinDesk article, or check out our Tweet thread.

A Note from our Founder

As CEO of Textile, for years I've had the privilege of working with 11 incredible builders who've pushed the boundaries in decentralized data. Today, Danny and the brilliant 3Box Labs crew are joining the Textile family. We've been friendly competitors, occasional collaborators, but always united by three core beliefs: public networks, developer-first thinking, and the open flow of data.

Both of our teams have deep roots in decentralized data infrastructure. We’ve consistently delivered innovations trusted by major players in the space, from Gitcoin to MetaMask. Through years of both competition and collaboration, we’ve developed a shared vision that AI will be embedded within every application that creates or consumes data. As specialized AI agents become central to this future, we're focused on launching a network that serves their unique needs with AI-first data protocols. It’s perfect timing; the multi-agent future is here and it relies on much of what our two companies have built to date.

Merging Two Powerhouses

This merger brings together an unparalleled combination of talent and technology:

Basin Network
Ceramic Network
Tableland DB
ComposeDB
30+ world-class employees
A thriving global community of 50,000+ developers

Building What's Next

In the coming months, we'll be launching the first multi-agent intelligence network that enables AI agents to store, exchange, and monetize their specialized intelligence and developed skills with other agents around the world. With our network, agents can collaborate on tasks and up-level their capabilities at significantly less cost and overhead compared to training foundational models. We're already working with leading partners who share our vision, including: Gaia, Story Protocol, Index Network, AgentDB, Collab.Land, Ocean, Matrix.one, and a few others.

As for Textile and 3Box products, they will be fully-integrated into the new network, playing significant roles in building out a comprehensive data infrastructure that underpins the system.

In the midst of focusing our efforts on advancing AI, our core principles remain unchanged:

AI serves humans, not the reverse
Knowledge must flow freely
Collaboration beats competition
The future stays open

This isn't just another merger. It's a sprint toward our future. And we're ready.
