Puma AI was founded by Yuriy Dybskiy and began as a mobile browser built around micropayments via the Interledger Protocol and the Web Monetization API. Over time it expanded to support decentralized naming and storage technologies including Ethereum Name Service, Handshake, InterPlanetary File System, and Unstoppable Domains. The browser is available on iOS and Android and has surpassed one million downloads.
Puma AI's local-AI mode runs supported open models, including Llama, DeepSeek, and Gemma, directly on the user's device, allowing conversations to remain on-device and function offline. The browser also supports optional connections to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs for page summarization and follow-up queries. Beyond the browser, Puma AI describes itself as a small AI research lab exploring private local inference, multi-agent harness flows, and gaming experiments.
Puma AI has received angel and pre-seed backing from a range of crypto and AI builders. Institutional backers include Protocol Labs, SBI AI & Blockchain Fund, Ripple, Kenetic, Fenbushi, and HashKey. Individual backers include Stefan Thomas, Chris Larsen, Anatoly Yakovenko, Illia Polosukhin, Sridhar Ramaswamy, Don Ho, Kartik Talwar, and Jason Warner. Puma AI's long-term thesis holds that AI agents will transact using crypto wallets and specialized credentials rather than conventional bank accounts, and the project is exploring decentralized incentive structures for an open AI-agent ecosystem.
