OORT's L1 Olympus Protocol Integrates USDC: A First for the DeAI Sector

New York, March 10, 2025 - OORT, the trailblazer in the decentralized AI era, announced today that its native Layer 1 blockchain, Olympus Protocol, has officially integrated Circle’s USDC—becoming a first for the decentralized AI L1s. This marks a major milestone for the DeAI ecosystem, setting the stage for real-world use cases and establishing a practical and functional infrastructure with true liquidity and financial stability for DeAI projects to build on the specialty blockchain network.

While many generic L1 chains have integrated USDC, Olympus Protocol’s specialization in the DeAI sector offers several key advantages and benefits:

Tailored Ecosystem: Designed specifically for DeAI applications, Olympus Protocol offers a specialized environment where dApps can leverage unique functionalities for AI development, including data collection and labeling, data storage, and computing (i.e., model training and fine-tuning).
Enhanced Developer Appeal: The integration of USDC creates a compelling environment for developers, encouraging the creation of innovative dApps optimized for the DeAI landscape.
Focused Innovation: By merging the stability of USDC with its DeAI specialization, Olympus Protocol positions itself to drive exponential growth and cutting-edge advancements in the sector.

By integrating USDC, the Olympus Protocol unlocks a stable and liquid infrastructure for projects and developers across multiple sectors, including DeFi, Enterprise AI, Data Monetization, AI-powered Identity and Reputation Systems, DeAI applications and services, and beyond. This enables seamless transactions and promotes broader adoption across various industries.

For example, this infrastructure could better facilitate AI-powered trading, lending, and staking projects built on Olympus. Businesses can also settle AI-driven transactions securely and efficiently using the stablecoin. Furthermore, AI companies using the Olympus Protocol for storage and compute power can now transact in USDC, allowing developers to pay for decentralized cloud computing services with a stablecoin.

By integrating USDC, Olympus Protocol bridges DeAI with real-world utility, making AI-driven applications more accessible, scalable, and financially sustainable.
