AxonDAO Selects Oracle Cloud Infrastructure to Build and Scale Secure GPU Infrastructure for AI and Life Sciences Workloads
Austin, TX, Feb. 9, 2026 — AxonDAO LLC, a decentralized science collective, announced today its decision to partner with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to develop and scale a next-generation compute platform targeted at advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and scientific workloads. This collaboration aims to create a secure, sovereign, and compliant GPU infrastructure tailored for applications in regulated sectors such as AI, healthcare, and life sciences.
AxonDAO’s choice of OCI represents a pivotal shift from its previous model of monetizing GPUs through secondary marketplaces. The new strategy focuses on delivering direct, infrastructure-enforced compute services that cater specifically to sensitive, human-origin data. By leveraging OCI, AxonDAO aims to meet growing demands for data sovereignty, mandatory encryption, and robust network controls, essential for both enterprise-level and research-focused clients.
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure offers AxonDAO a controlled deployment environment in cloud regions located within the United States, thereby minimizing regulatory risks associated with cross-border data replication. Furthermore, OCI enforces encryption by default, allowing customers to manage their encryption keys. This design prevents unencrypted data from being created, significantly mitigating common cloud misconfiguration risks and establishing a strong compliance framework for regulated workloads.
“Trust is becoming the defining requirement for advanced AI and scientific computing,” stated Chris Crecelius, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of AxonDAO. “Oracle Cloud Infrastructure allows us to move beyond raw GPU performance and deliver compute that is secure by design. This enables us to serve customers working with sensitive biomedical and life sciences data while maintaining clear data sovereignty and enforcement at the infrastructure layer.”
The partnership also addresses the need for high-performance, secure infrastructure tailored for demanding AI and scientific workloads involving sensitive data. “Customers who run demanding AI and scientific workloads with sensitive data need infrastructure that can deliver both extreme performance with enterprise-grade security,” said Chris Gandolfo, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and AI. “OCI is purpose-built for these workloads, enabling customers like AxonDAO to build scalable, secure environments while addressing compliance requirements.”
By utilizing OCI, AxonDAO gains direct control over firewall rules, network access, and traffic monitoring, which allows it to create compute environments that align with the operational and regulatory standards required by enterprises, healthcare providers, and research institutions. This strategic foundation supports AxonDAO’s broader initiative to establish a data and compute platform for user-owned scientific data, ensuring that infrastructure readiness is prioritized before expanding data platform capabilities.
As AxonDAO continues to evolve, its commitment to building enterprise-grade compute infrastructure serves as a critical prerequisite for the responsible advancement of AI and scientific research. The integration of OCI not only enhances the security of sensitive data but also positions AxonDAO to play a significant role in the future of decentralized science and healthcare.
