(NEW YORK) – Next Realm AI, a research and technology firm specializing in quantum computing and artificial intelligence, today announced the renewal of its Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code with the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).
This renewal serves as a critical milestone, certifying Next Realm AI’s ability to bid directly on U.S. government contracts and federal grants. Next Realm AI intends to pursue opportunities supporting the U.S. government’s expanding mandate to strengthen domestic data center capacity, secure the AI supply chain, and accelerate high-performance computing for scientific and defense applications.
“As the U.S. government moves to secure its leadership in artificial intelligence, there is a rapidly growing need for decentralized, resilient data center infrastructure,” said Tom Bustamante, Founder and CEO of Next Realm AI. “Our CAGE code renewal will allow us to bring a unique network of distributed GPU computing and small-language model (SLM) research directly to federal agencies.”
Strategic Focus: Future Decentralized Infrastructure
Through our blockchain project, Data Lair (Solana:LAIR), we intend to pursue funding for the research and development of:
- Proposed Hybrid DePIN Architecture (Compute Access) Our roadmap includes developing a “Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network” (DePIN) bridge. The vision is to allow $LAIR token to serve as the access key for high-performance GPU portfolio, creating a future deflationary demand model where compute power is unlocked via token utilization.
- Planned Proof of Model Integrity (Staking for Trust) We are exploring architectural designs where blockchain verification ensures the safety of AI models. The proposed utility would require developers to “bond” or stake $LAIR tokens to publish models to our network, acting as a security deposit to discourage malicious actors and ensure the integrity of open-source code and weights.
- Research into Agentic Workflows (“Agent Wallets”) We are actively researching frameworks for the “Machine-to-Machine” economy, where future AI Agents could hold non-custodial wallets. Our goal is to enable these agents to utilize $LAIR as “gas” to autonomously execute complex workflows—such as paying for API calls or momentary inference tasks—without human intervention.
We are opening an early qualification window for our future “Elvish Guild” tier. Individuals or teams can gain membership eligibility today by simply purchasing, staking, and locking 1,000,000 $LAIR tokens.
This lock-up will qualify participants for a future NFT airdrop, which is intended to serve as the exclusive access pass to these planned DevOp environments and community resources.
What’s Next? We will be releasing a comprehensive guide detailing the specific steps for verification, lock-up mechanics, and NFT issuance in a separate announcement shortly. Stay tuned to our official channels for the full breakdown.
