Anymal Foundation will address the $6 trillion animal economy that is currently fragmented, outdated, and full of inefficiencies\u2014from disconnected veterinary records to opaque supply chains and limited financial access for animal care providers. Backed by Nestl\u00e9 Purina PetCare\u2019s 9 Square Ventures, A100x, Escape Velocity Crypto (EV3), TBV, Modular Capital, and Tiny Capital, Anymal is bridging the physical and digital worlds to transform how animals are identified, managed, and cared for on a global scale.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAnymal is tackling one of the world\u2019s largest yet most overlooked opportunities\u2014the global animal economy,\u201d said Sal Ternullo, General Partner at A100x. \u201cBy building open data economies and introducing programmability, Anymal creates new avenues for innovation, transparency, and equitable value distribution. We\u2019re proud to support a project that aligns so well with our mission of advancing impactful, data-driven solutions in overlooked industries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A $6 Trillion Market Stuck in the Past <\/strong>\u2013 The animal economy spans pet care, livestock, wildlife conservation, aquaculture, dairy, poultry, exotic animals, and sustainable animal-based industries. Yet, critical data is fragmented, inaccessible, and inefficient.<\/li>\n<li><strong>$231B+ in Data Inefficiencies <\/strong>\u2013 Fraud, lost revenue, and lack of traceability cost the animal economy more than $231 billion annually. The industry\u2019s outdated record-keeping systems obstruct innovation, making it difficult for new technologies to integrate and scale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Anymal\u2019s Web3 Solution <\/strong>\u2013 By establishing an onchain identity layer for all animal industries, Anymal unlocks new economic opportunities, ensures secure, verifiable records, and enables frictionless collaboration across the global animal economy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Anymal IDx: The Identity Layer for All Animal Industries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At its core, Anymal IDx\u00a0provides \u201cProof of Anymal\u201d\u2014a privacy-preserving, verifiable identity system for pets, livestock, equine industries, birdstock, fish stock, and wildlife conservation. With trusted, portable data, regulators can ensure compliance more effectively, innovators can launch new care models faster, and veterinarians, conservationists, and industry leaders can make real-time, data-driven decisions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cData gives animals a voice. The $6 trillion animal economy is outdated and locked behind closed systems. We\u2019re giving developers grants to change that\u2014creating an onchain identity layer that opens access, fuels innovation, and ensures economic accessibility for all. Whether you\u2019re an independent builder, startup, or enterprise, it\u2019s time to build the future of animal care together.\u201d \u2014 Carlos Herrera, CEO, Anymal Foundation<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Petastic: The First App Built on Anymal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Petastic, a personalized marketplace and the first application built on Anymal, has already registered more than 1.7 million domesticated cats and dogs onchain\u2014forming the world\u2019s only verified pet network where owners fully control their data.
