Accelerating the Development of Professional Models and Trusted Execution Capabilities
Denver, Colorado, United States, September 23, 2026 -- HZB Network has secured $4 million in strategic financing from Faction. The funding will be directed toward professional models, the HIVM trusted execution system, and developer infrastructure, further strengthening HZB’s capabilities in Web3 intelligence, on-chain analysis, and trusted execution.

As artificial intelligence expands into blockchain research, development, and operations, demand for Web3 AI is moving beyond information generation toward real-world applications. Capabilities such as protocol interpretation, Solidity assistance, on-chain data analysis, knowledge retrieval, and tool calling require specialized data, advanced models, and secure execution environments.
HZB Network is building a comprehensive infrastructure stack around these needs. Its core modules include the HZB Web3 LLM, Data Mesh, HIVM, Developer APIs and SDKs, Smart Contract Tools, and AI Agents. Together, these components enable AI to understand on-chain data, smart contracts, and protocol rules more accurately while completing tasks within clearly defined permission boundaries.
75% of the Funding Allocated to Models and HIVM
Under the funding plan, $2 million will be allocated to professional models, compliant data acquisition, model adaptation, and task evaluation.
HZB will continue strengthening its blockchain-specific data system and improving model understanding across different public blockchains, protocols, smart contracts, and governance mechanisms. Through task evaluation and result verification, HZB aims to improve the accuracy of protocol interpretation, code assistance, risk identification, and on-chain analysis.
An additional $1 million will be invested in the HIVM trusted execution system, with a focus on permission controls, transaction simulation, security boundaries, and execution reliability.
HIVM connects models, tools, wallets, and blockchain networks. Before an AI-generated action enters a live workflow, HIVM evaluates permissions, risks, budgets, and authorization requirements. This enables model-generated recommendations to move into real processes within a controlled and verifiable environment.
The remaining $1 million will support Developer APIs and SDKs, automated testing, computing resources, operational monitoring, and third-party security assessments.
Professional models and HIVM together account for 75% of the total financing, reflecting HZB’s focus on core technology development and product engineering.
Turning Technical Capabilities into Real-World Applications
The financing will help HZB transform capabilities such as protocol interpretation, Solidity assistance, on-chain analysis, knowledge retrieval, and tool calling into stable, maintainable, and reusable product modules.
Developers will be able to integrate individual capabilities according to their needs or use.
