Catenaa, Monday, July 07, 2025-Hyra Network, a decentralized AI infrastructure platform developed in Vietnam, has been named “Technology Startup of the Year” at the 2025 Globee Awards for Technology.
The award recognizes Hyra’s pioneering approach to democratizing computational power through community-owned networks.
Operated by Hyra Tek Smart Solution in the UAE, the platform enables users to share unused computing resources from everyday devices such as smartphones and laptops.
This model allows participants to earn rewards while supporting artificial intelligence training and inference tasks across a global distributed network.
Hyra Network’s architecture relies on a Layer-3 blockchain to facilitate high-throughput, low-latency AI workloads.
The company’s flagship initiative, Hyra AI, offers one of the world’s first “Train-to-Earn” systems, where contributors are rewarded for turning their devices into AI nodes.
Founder Jonh Tran described the award as validation for a broader shift in AI development, moving away from centralized control to distributed, community-based participation. He said the recognition affirms that “the future of AI belongs not to monopolies but to networks that share ownership.”
The Hyra ecosystem currently spans more than 205 countries and includes 2.5 million connected devices, 700,000 of which are active online nodes. With over 1 million KYC-verified users and more than 10 paying enterprise clients, Hyra delivers an estimated 360,000 teraflops of computing power globally.
Hyra Network’s recognition highlights growing momentum behind decentralized physical infrastructure networks, or DePINs, as AI continues to reshape the global tech landscape through more inclusive and open platforms.
