Terminal 3 Bags $8M to Turbocharge AI-Era Data Privacy

Privacy Infrastructure Gets a Power Boost

Terminal 3, a data infrastructure startup, has secured $8 million in seed funding as it aims to build privacy-first platforms for the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Spearheaded by investors including Solana Ventures and Polygon Ventures, the round highlights surging interest in technologies that protect user data without compromising performance. The company’s focus is on making user privacy programmable at scale, especially as decentralized identity and AI-generated data transform how organizations handle sensitive information.

From Web3 to AI, Trust Takes Center Stage

Terminal 3 is pushing the boundaries of Web3 identity and zero-knowledge proof architectures, helping developers integrate privacy safeguards without reinventing the wheel. CEO Adam Hofmann emphasized that the goal is to give businesses more control and transparency over data in an AI-dominated future. With mounting public scrutiny around surveillance and data monetization, Terminal 3’s plug-and-play infrastructure could make privacy a default setting—not just an afterthought.
