OptimAI August Recap: From YZi Labs EASY Residency to NYSE, Explorer Launch, and the Next Leap in Persona Agentic AI

August was a month of acceleration for the OptimAI Network — where vision turned into reality and global momentum grew stronger. Together with our worldwide community, we’ve been building the world’s first decentralized reinforcement-grade data network to power Agentic AI systems for everyone.
Here’s what we accomplished in August:
✨ OptimAI Persona X Agent is Live
The first version of Persona X Agent launched at optimai.im/download, onboarding over 25,000 registered users in just one month. This milestone proves the potential of community-driven, real-time data to create AI agents that understand, create, and act for you.
🌍 Launch of OptimAI Explorer
We introduced the OptimAI Explorer, a gateway to visualize and experience the scale of our data network. With over 370,000+ users, 670,000+ nodes across 179 countries, and 110M+ data requests served, Explorer showcases the power of a truly community-driven AI infrastructure.
🏛️ Incubated by YZi Labs through EASY Residency
We’re honoured to join YZi Labs’ EASY Residency Program, receiving world-class mentorship from leaders like CZ, Ella Zhang, and the YZi team. This partnership is helping us sharpen our mission and accelerate our delivery of Agentic AI for the masses — built by the people, for the people.

🏦 Presentation at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
We proudly presented OptimAI’s vision on the world’s stage at NYSE Demo Day — a landmark step in our mission to build global-scale AI infrastructure. More on this experience soon.
🌐 First Look at OptimAI DataDAO
We previewed OptimAI DataDAO — our decentralized governance layer designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and shared ownership of the world’s first reinforcement-grade data network.
What’s Coming in September: Building the Next Layer of OptimAI
🔥 OptimAI Core Node: CLI Version
September marks the rollout of the Core Node — starting with a CLI interface that empowers advanced users, developers, and power contributors.
🧩 DataDAO Activation
The next step in decentralizing AI data governance: DataDAO incentives and decision-making will start taking shape, letting contributors directly influence and benefit from network growth.
🤖 Persona Agentic System Evolution
Expect major upgrades to our Persona AI ecosystem, making AI agents even more personalized, action-oriented, and capable of automating real-world workflows at scale.
🤝 Strategic Collaborations
We’re actively securing high-impact partnerships to expand real-world applications of OptimAI’s technology. Big announcements are on the way.
Together, We’re Building More Than AI
From Lite Nodes, Edge Nodes, and Explorer to Persona AI agents and DataDAO, every release is proof of what happens when a passionate, global community comes together to build something revolutionary.
In just a few months, we’ve scaled to hundreds of thousands of nodes in 179+ countries — processing 110M+ data requests and powering the future of decentralized, agentic AI.
But we’re just getting started.
September will bring stronger infrastructure, smarter agents, and more reasons for the world to believe in a people-powered AI future.
Real value creates real rewards. Real builders create real impact.
Join us in shaping the future of Agentic AI.
