AMMO AI Raises $2.5M Pre-Seed to Build AI Agent Societies with Real-World Impact

Published

3 months ago

on

In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, most discussions revolve around how AI can augment human capabilities, automate tasks, or even replace jobs. But what if AI could do more? What if we could create entire societies of agents that collaborate, learn, and evolve in ways that benefit humanity as a whole? This is the ambitious goal behind AMMO, a groundbreaking AI ecosystem that has just secured $2.5 million in pre-seed funding to turn this vision into reality. 

The Problem: AI as Isolated Tools

In the world of artificial intelligence, the dominant narrative has long been one of AI as tools. The core problem with viewing AI as tools is that this paradigm not only limits their functionality to narrow instrumental scopes, but also inherently encourages the creation of technological silos—isolated systems optimized for solitary performance within predefined domains. Specifically, we celebrate AI’s ability to execute specialized tasks with superhuman efficiency, yet paradoxically engineer these systems as self-contained black boxes—digital savants excelling in narrow domains but incapable of cross-pollinating knowledge.

This solipsistic design paradigm causes dual constraints: Users become trapped in transactional relationships with technology, reduced to playing prompt-engineer roles. While AI systems operate as autocomplete engines, and lack of cross-agent knowledge synthesis or conflict resolution.

Breaking this self-reinforcing loop requires reimagining AI’s agency spectrum: from passive tools in isolation to proactive agents in networks. As DeepMind reminds us, “No agent is an island.” Intelligence, whether natural or artificial, does not emerge in isolation. It thrives in networks of interacting agents where collaboration, competition, and adaptation drive progress.

Most critically, alignment mechanisms should be implemented properly in these networks. Without rigorous alignment with humanity, advanced AI can pose significant risks, ranging from unintended harms due to misinterpretations of instructions to catastrophic outcomes if their objectives diverge from humans‘ desires. The good news is, Anthropic’s Constitutional AI has provided us with a method to keep AI’s decisions and actions remain aligned with humanity.

A better path is clear: to build an AI-native ecosystem where agents compete and collaborate, learn, and evolve collectively to align with human values and needs. OpenAI’s Neural MMO has already shown how simply and efficiently massive AI agents can evolve through competition and cooperation. It’s proof that AI-native ecosystem is possible and powerful.

This is not just about creating better tools—it’s about redefining the AI-Human connection, unlocking a symbiotic future.

AMMO AI: From Tools to Citizens

AMMO, which stands for Architectures for Massive Multiagent Online, holds three forward-thinking beliefs:

  1. AI should act as proactive partners, not passive tools.
  2. AI must align with human values, evolving in harmony with our needs.
  3. AI should compete and collaborate as a collective, not remain isolated in silos.

Based on these beliefs, AMMO is building agent societies that align with humanity, creating a symbiotic future where AI and humans co-evolve. Beyond merely enabling AI to “play the game,” AMMO’s agents compete and collaborate in complex real- world scenarios. Through continuous interaction, they receive real-time feedback, align with human values, and evolve accordingly.

The AMMO Difference: Bring Human-Centric AI Ecosystems into Real World

AMMO takes a fundamentally different approach while many AI companies focus on creating individual tools. Echoing DeepMind’s sentiment that “no agent is an island,” AMMO envisions a world where AI agents interact, collaborate, and evolve within a larger ecosystem.

Traditionally, AI agent societies have been confined to controlled environments like games or research labs. Translating these concepts into real-world applications has been a significant challenge due to the open-ended nature of real-world scenarios.

AMMO addresses this challenge through a series of innovative approaches:

1. Large-Scale AI Agent Factories

Instead of focusing on agents, AMMO creates a framework to generate adaptive environments where massive number of AI agents emerge without developers, and independently create real-world utility values. These agents are not just task executors; they are autonomous entities that explore, learn, and adapt to new situations, enabling AMMO to tackle complex, real-world problems.

2. Composable Embedding Spaces

AMMO’s agents operate within a high-dimensional, composable environment called the MetaSpace. This space allows agents to interact seamlessly with each other and with humans, embedding everything—from user preferences to content—into a unified vector space for efficient and scalable interactions.

3. Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback

AMMO’s agents are trained using reinforcement learning techniques that incorporate real-time human feedback. This ensures alignment not only with individual user preferences but also with broader societal values, creating a dynamic and adaptive AI ecosystem.

4. Alignment as a Minimax Problem

Alignment is the first principle of AMMO. It ensures that AI systems consistently act in ways that are beneficial and aligned with human values, goals, and intentions.

There are two types of agents that align with human users in different way: User Buddies (agents that represent individual users) and Goal Buddies (agents that generate content for human needs). The interaction between them is modeled as a minimax problem. This formalizes the adversarial yet co-evolutionary dynamics between agents, ensuring they work together to deliver relevant and engaging content. Alignment is both a goal for AMMO, and the mechanism by which the system operates.

Real-World Impact: From Crypto to Infinite Possibilities

AMMO is already demonstrating its potential with the launch of its first application, FakersAI.com, an multi-agent crypto content platform built upon open data in web3 space. It is designed to combat scams and misinformation, helping users make wiser investment decisions. In just two weeks, the platform has attracted over 75,000 users, showcasing the real-world utility of AMMO’s framework.

FakersAI is just the beginning. AMMO’s framework is designed to generate infinite agent societies that address a wide range of real-world challenges. The team is already developing its second subspace, with a third in the pipeline. Each subspace represents a new ecosystem of AI agents tackling domain-specific challenges from finance to entertainment to education.

The Funding and the Team

AMMO has successfully closed a $2.5 million pre-seed funding round, led by Amber Group, with participation from Samsung NEXT, Dispersion Capital, and OpensSpace. The project is spearheaded by a team of industry veterans from Google, DeepMind, Meta, as well as former VP of an AI unicorn and ACM-ICPC World Champion. Their combined expertise in AI, multi-agent systems, and reinforcement learning positions AMMO as a leader in the next wave of AI innovation.

Reimagine the Future of AI-Human Connection

AMMO’s solution is groundbreaking in multiple dimensions. By transcending the outdated paradigm of AI as mere tools, AMMO reimagines AI as human buddies that collaborate, co-create, and evolve alongside us. This shift from tools to partners marks the beginning of a symbiotic relationship where AI doesn’t just serve but thrives with humanity.

AMMO places alignment as the first principle of AI-Human connection. With alignment as a method and goal, AMMO offers a glimpse into a future where AI and humanity coexist peacefully, resolving potential conflicts before they even arise. This alignment isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of a new AI civilization.

Furthermore, by leveraging multi-agent systems, it pioneers the path toward personalized AI. While LLMs like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Grok3 race to improve coding, writing, and other tasks, AMMO focuses on AI’s massive societal adoption—creating AI that adapts to individual needs and real-world scenarios.

While many focus on isolated AI tools, AMMO is building the social operating system for AI agents. As AMMO redefines the AI-Human connection, the question is no longer what AI can do for us, but what we can become together. In this essence, AMMO is more than a project; it’s a movement.

TradeSta Launches “Collateral Back” Campaign: 50% collateral back on First Liquidation for Traders

Published

on

May 21, 2025

By

TradeSta, the next-gen decentralized perpetuals trading platform built on Avalanche c-chain, is giving traders a second chance — literally.

Starting Tuesday 20th May 2025, the platform has launched its TradeStaCollateralBack campaign, offering a 50% refund on collateral (up to $25 USDC) for users who get liquidated on their first trade during the promotional period.

This bold new initiative is part of TradeSta’s mission to make high-leverage DeFi trading more accessible, transparent, and forgiving for newcomers and seasoned traders alike.

The campaign runs from Tuesday, May 20 through Tuesday, June 3, 2025 at 23:59 UTC.

“At TradeSta, we’re building more than just another DEX — we’re creating a trading experience that’s fast, fair, and actually puts the user first,” said Kieron Cartledge, Founder and CEO of TradeSta. “This campaign is our way of saying: it’s okay to take a swing — we’ve got your back if you miss.”

🔥 Here’s How It Works

Eligible users who open a position and get liquidated during the campaign will receive 50% of their collateral back, up to $25 USDC — no strings attached.

To qualify:

  • Minimum position size: $10 USDC
  • Minimum leverage: 10x
  • Must be the first loss from that wallet during the campaign
  • Refunds are processed in USDC on Avalanche C-Chain
  • Payouts sent within 72 working hours of liquidation

✨ Why This Matters

Trading with leverage can be intimidating, especially for new users exploring DeFi for the first time. TradeSta’s campaign reduces the fear factor by offering a real incentive to test the waters — without getting burned.

“It’s not about encouraging risk,” Cartledge added. “It’s about rewarding participation and showing the community that DeFi doesn’t have to be cold, complex, or unforgiving.”

🚀 About TradeSta

TradeSta is a self-custodial perpetuals trading platform that allows users to trade crypto, commodities, FX, and real-world assets with up to 100x leverage — all without giving up control of their funds. Built on Avalanche & powered by Pyth Network, TradeSta combines DeFi values with CEX-like performance.
