Cluster Protocol Raises $5M to Accelerate CodeXero, Browser-Native AI IDE for EVM

Gate News message, April 23 — Cluster Protocol, an AI deeptech and Web3 infrastructure company, announced it has raised $5 million in a new funding round led by DAO5, with participation from Paper Ventures, JPEG Trading, and Mapleblock Capital, bringing total funding to $7.75 million. The capital will accelerate CodeXero, a browser-native vibe coding IDE designed to help developers move from concept to onchain product with minimal friction.

CodeXero transforms user intent into production-grade smart contracts and DeFi logic by leveraging Cluster's decentralized AI infrastructure trained on over 200 audited smart contract patterns. The platform has already connected 300,000+ wallets, processed over 3 billion AI tokens, and powered the deployment of 25,000+ dApps. Cluster's ecosystem includes more than 400 partner integrations spanning GPU networks, data providers, and agent platforms.

The new funding will support product and engineering expansion, deepen AI systems and developer workflows, and accelerate ecosystem growth. Cluster's mission centers on lowering barriers to onchain creation, enabling developers to ship products in minutes rather than months through AI-native tooling.
