Cluster Protocol Completes $5 Million Funding Round, Led by DAO5

On April 23rd, The Block reported that Cluster Protocol—an AI DeepTech and Web3 infrastructure firm—has closed a $5 million latest funding round, led by DAO5 with participation from Paper Ventures, JPEG Trading, Mapleblock Capital, and others. This brings the company’s total funding to $7.75 million. The funds will be used to accelerate development of CodeXero, its EVM ecosystem-native browser-style coding AI IDE. CodeXero translates user intent into production-grade code: when creators outline what they want to build, the AI engine—powered by Cluster’s decentralized compute infrastructure and trained on over 200 audited smart contract patterns—parses the intent to generate deployable smart contracts, DeFi logic, tokenomic models, and issuance processes. Notably, CodeXero has onboarded over 300,000 wallets, processed more than 3 billion AI tokens, and supported the deployment of over 25,000 dApps. The project has partnered with entities including Filecoin, deeply integrated with EVM ecosystem projects like AI Seer, and plugged over 400 collaboration IPs (covering GPU networks, data providers, Agent platforms, and professional skill modules) into its execution engine.
