About
Daedalus is a Karlsruhe, Germany-based AI manufacturing optimization software company — backed by Y Combinator (W20) with $40 million+ in total funding including a $21 million Series A in February 2024 led by NGP Capital — providing semiconductor, energy, medical device, and defense manufacturers with AI-powered software that captures manufacturing decisions across the production process and uses that institutional decision knowledge to guide future production optimization, operating its own 50,000-square-foot precision manufacturing facility in Karlsruhe as both a production operation and a live testbed for its manufacturing AI platform. Founded in 2019 by Jonas Schneider (former OpenAI technical lead for robotics) and positioned as 'AWS for precision manufacturing,' Daedalus serves leading manufacturers in sectors where process control precision directly determines product quality and yield.
Decentralized Web3 infrastructure with RPC node access across 30+ blockchains; globally distributed nodes reduce latency; premium dedicated nodes for apps needing guaranteed throughput.
About
Ankr is a Web3 infrastructure platform offering remote procedure call node access to more than 30 blockchain networks through a globally distributed network of nodes run by independent operators. Unlike centralized providers that operate their own data centers exclusively, Ankr's decentralized architecture routes requests across geographically distributed nodes, improving latency for users in regions underserved by US- or EU-centric infrastructure. Its public free-tier RPC endpoints — available for Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, Fantom, and dozens of others — have made Ankr one of the most widely used infrastructure providers in the multi-chain developer ecosystem.
