A pathway to a sovereign digital civilization
According to John Tran, founder and chairman of Hyra Holdings and Hyra Network, the Chairman’s Award is both a technological recognition and a validation of Hyra’s long-term vision.
Tran said,
“We believe every nation and every citizen deserves to own their AI infrastructure.
“This award is both WITSA’s recognition and Hyra’s unwavering commitment to building a decentralized digital civilization one that celebrates fairness and puts people in control.”
The WITSA Chairman’s Award 2025 affirms Hyra’s decentralized-AI strategy for digital sovereignty advancing its commitment that ‘AI is a public resource.’
Guided by the principle that ‘AI is a public resource,’ Hyra Network is turning independent, community-owned AI into reality.
Its on-chain DAO ensures the protocol evolves in ways that most benefit the public.
From ideal to at-scale reality
As of August 2025, Hyra Network has connected over 2.7 million devices across more than 200 countries, laying a strong foundation for sovereign AI infrastructure beyond traditional, centralized data centers.
This breakthrough platform is researched and developed by Hyra Tek JCS (Vietnam) and operated by Hyra Tek Smart Solution LLC in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
With hundreds of thousands of active nodes and a global user base, Hyra has demonstrated that decentralized AI can scale from concept to production.
Hyra’s open ecosystem comprises three core platforms.
- Hyra AI A verifiable, edge-native AI inference platform that processes data directly on user devices for security and performance.
- Hyra Zone A large-scale, decentralized GPU training network that replaces centralized data-center models with flexible, cost-effective capacity.
- Hyra Mega A transparent marketplace for AI models, datasets and APIs, enabling fair, secure exchange of digital assets.
Together, these platforms function as an ‘operating system for the era of digital sovereignty,’ empowering organizations and individuals to deploy, use and audit AI independently without reliance on Big Tech vendors.
