In Singapore, the total funding has crossed $3 million across Nanyang Technological University and the National University of Singapore.
Professor Yang Liu of the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University, which is developing an AI agent on the XRP Ledger, said the grants have enhanced its research and development efforts
“With our current grant, we are developing an autonomous AI agent network on the XRP Ledger to create a transparent, modular, accessible, and collaborative AI platform harnessing blockchain technology. We believe this innovation will be pivotal in shaping the future of AI.” Liu said.
In Taiwan, UBRI is partnering with the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology to explore real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
