AI protocol Neura announced the completion of a $4 million strategic financing round, with participants including Animoca Brands, Basics Capital, TBV, Kinetic Kollective, Grammy Award-winning singer Ne-Yo, and Mario Nawfal, with a valuation of $80 million in this round. Neura is positioned as a "emotional AI economy" protocol, dedicated to building an underlying layer for AI entities that possesses lasting emotional memory and user autonomous identity, enabling them to maintain coherent emotional interactions with users across conversations and devices.Neura's core design includes an on-chain memory ledger that anchors emotional context through privacy-protected cryptographic proofs, allowing it to migrate between models, platforms, and devices, with ownership belonging to users rather than application parties. The funds from this round will be used for a three-phase roadmap: consumer application Neura Social, developer SDK, and decentralized protocol layer. The entry of investors like Animoca Brands indicates that market interest in the direction of "user-owned emotional AI" is on the rise. Related products have not yet officially launched, and specific features will be subject to actual delivery.
