SHREWSBURY, United Kingdom, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lightchain AI, an AI-native decentralized infrastructure platform, today announced the start of its Final Bonus Phase, following the successful completion of all 15 presale stages and the achievement of a major milestone—$21.1 million raised from a global community of early contributors. This final round offers a fixed price of $0.007125 per LCAI token, providing one last opportunity for participants ahead of the mainnet launch scheduled for July 2025.
This announcement marks a critical moment for the Lightchain AI ecosystem, as strong participation and sustained growth continue to validate the project’s technical vision and long-term potential. With a scalable architecture, transparent governance, and clear utility for developers and validators, Lightchain AI is laying the groundwork for decentralized AI applications across industries.
AI-Native Blockchain Infrastructure
Lightchain AI is designed from the ground up to support real-time artificial intelligence workloads within a blockchain environment. At the core of the platform is its proprietary Artificial Intelligence Virtual Machine (AIVM), which allows for the decentralized execution of AI models and logic.
The network uses a novel Proof-of-Intelligence (PoI) consensus model that rewards validator nodes for performing computationally meaningful AI tasks. This enables Lightchain AI to offer more than just transactional throughput—it provides functional intelligence that can be deployed securely and transparently on-chain.
Strategic Tokenomics and Developer Support
The project’s tokenomics are structured to promote long-term ecosystem health and decentralization. Notably, the original 5% Team Allocation has been fully removed and reallocated to developer incentives, staking rewards, and infrastructure support. Of the total supply, 40% has been allocated to presale and 15% reserved for staking, incentivizing validators to secure the network post-mainnet.
In parallel, Lightchain AI has launched a $150,000 Developer Grant Program to support builders developing tools, decentralized applications, and infrastructure services. The Lightchain Developer Portal, now live, provides APIs, SDKs, and documentation to accelerate onboarding. Public GitHub repositories are also scheduled to go live shortly, reinforcing transparency and enabling open-source collaboration.
Final Bonus Phase Open Now
The Final Bonus Phase features fixed pricing and exclusive access to token holders ahead of the mainnet. Participants in this round will also benefit from ongoing ecosystem incentives, including grant eligibility, early validator opportunities, and developer support.
“With over $21 million raised and a global community rallying behind the vision, the Final Bonus Phase offers one last opportunity to join Lightchain AI before it transitions to mainnet,” said a Lightchain AI spokesperson. “This is not just a funding milestone—it’s the beginning of a decentralized AI movement.”
