Ritual launches AI‑native EVM‑compatible Layer 1 called Ritual Chain
Ritual, a lab for autonomous intelligence founded by former Polychain Capital partners, launched Ritual Chain, an AI‑native EVM‑compatible Layer 1 blockchain. The network enables autonomous agents that control their own wallets, on‑chain identity, and private state, with native AI model access, private computation, and scheduling. After a public testnet live since June that processed over 40 million transactions, the mainnet launches with integrations from Phala Network, Nous Research, LayerZero and Stargate. Ritual has raised more than $30 million from investors including Archetype and Polychain Capital, and the protocol includes 15 native precompiles for functions such as LLM inference and web access.
