Chia Network was co-founded by Bram Cohen and Ryan Singer, with Gene Hoffman serving as CEO. The company distinguishes its blockchain through a Proof of Space Time consensus mechanism, which it describes as requiring substantially less energy than traditional Proof of Work systems. The XCH launch and the associated farming activity drew wide attention when they were reported to contribute to hard-drive and SSD shortages and price increases.
Chia Network raised $61 million at approximately $500 million valuation in May 2021 through venture capital rather than a conventional ICO. Backers include Andreessen Horowitz, Greylock, Slow Ventures, True Ventures, Galaxy Digital, Craft Ventures, Richmond Global Ventures, DCM, Stillmark, and Metastable. The company has stated it is confident XCH does not constitute a security under the Howey test, and it submitted an amended draft registration statement for a proposed IPO in March 2024, signaling its intent to become a public reporting company.
Chia Network maintains affiliations with several institutional and governmental partners, including the International Finance Corporation, the World Bank, the International Emissions Trading Association, the Climate Action Data Trust, the Government of Singapore, and Permuto Capital.
