Optic, a startup that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to validate non-fungible tokens (NFTs), launched on Wednesday and acquired $11 million in a seed round lead by Kleiner Perkins and crypto-native investment firm Pantera Capital.
While the on-chain address makes an NFT technically unique, its surface-level look to the human eye can be indistinguishable from a counterfeit, according to CEO Andrey Doronichev.
“There is no actual ‘NF’ in NFT without Optic,” Doronichev explained.
