Tensora, a decentralized Layer 2 (L2) rollup powered by AI and built on
BNB
Chain, has officially launched its mainnet, representing a significant advancement in merging artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. Developed with the OP Stack and tailored for seamless BNB Chain integration, the platform unveils an open marketplace for AI computing, validation, and model assessment
according to a GlobeNewswire release
. Utilizing BNB Chain’s data availability features, Tensora allows developers and node operators to participate in AI subnets specializing in areas like language, trading, and vision, earning $TORA tokens as incentives.
This mainnet debut makes Tensora the first to bring AI inference, computational contributions, and evaluations directly onto the blockchain. Its modular design merges on-chain governance with off-chain AI processing, while support for ERC-4337 account abstraction and paymaster functionality enables users to pay transaction fees in $TORA rather than BNB. Angela Kartikeyn, who leads Media Relations at Tensora, highlighted the initiative’s goal to “make AI infrastructure as open and decentralized as blockchain networks,” empowering users to create and profit from intelligence networks without depending on centralized entities.
Tensora’s introduction coincides with growing momentum in the BNB Chain ecosystem.
CEA Industries
(BNC), recognized as the largest BNB treasury globally, recently exceeded 500,000 BNB in assets, with combined crypto and cash holdings valued at $596.8 million,

. This achievement signals increasing institutional confidence in BNB, fueled by developments such as Coinbase’s potential full support for BNB and China Merchants Bank International’s move to tokenize a USD money market fund on BNB Chain. The network also reached a new peak of 3.6 million daily active addresses, highlighting its growing adoption.
Tensora’s system is engineered to tackle scalability and centralization issues in AI. By aggregating transactions off-chain and submitting proofs on-chain, this L2 rollup lowers costs and speeds up processing compared to traditional Layer 1 approaches,

. Its compatibility with the EVM ensures easy integration with
Ethereum
tools, and community-driven governance lets token holders influence future upgrades. Developers can now launch or join AI subnets through Tensora’s mainnet, available at tensora.sh.
The $TORA token, capped at a total supply of 1 billion, is available for trading on decentralized exchanges such as
PancakeSwap
and OKX Wallet. As of October 24, 2025,
CoinMarketCap
reported $TORA at $0.000799, with a market capitalization of $798,556. Despite a 92.34% drop over 24 hours, the token’s function within a decentralized AI ecosystem—where computing power, data, and intelligence circulate openly—positions it as a significant force at the intersection of blockchain and AI.
Tensora’s mainnet rollout marks a strategic enhancement of BNB Chain’s offerings, providing a foundation for scalable and decentralized AI solutions. With growing adoption by institutions and developers, the platform could transform the way AI is created, implemented, and monetized within the cryptocurrency landscape.
