Ambient, the AI-infused blockchain that raised $7.2 million, launched its mainnet on April 2, 2025, drawing Bitcoin miners with its proof-of-work system.

Early data shows 5% of BTC miners testing the switch, sparking debate over whether Ambient can truly challenge Bitcoin’s dominance in the long run.
