Phase, a new blockchain that lets smartphone users earn tokens by helping run AI services, has received a $45 million funding commitment from Unlimit founder Kirill Eves.
Phase announced the launch of its blockchain on Thursday alongside Phase Proxy, a service that routes AI agents’ web requests through internet connections shared via smartphones.
Eves founded Unlimit in 2009 and built it into a global payments company. Unlimit said in December 2025 that it served more than 50,000 businesses worldwide.
