The DATA Foundation

Today, Story becomes The DATA Foundation. $IP is now $DATA. The Story Network is now DATA Network, tracking 1B+ data records with a singular mission: to become the trust layer for all AI training data. Welcome to The DATA Foundation.

Approaching 40 million registered receipts as of writing. On track for 1.5 billion ↴ trace.datafdn.org

New favorite pastime: watching registrations stream in live on Trace.

Flash Earn just got an upgrade, and $DATA is one of the first to join. @datafdn is an AI-native infrastructure for real-world data. Trade with the new Trade-to-Earn experience for a share of the 1M DATA prize pool ↓

Less than 2 weeks in, here's a recap of where we stand. 33M data receipts have been created on Trace (+8M in just the last 48 hours). Roughly 30K DATA was spent to create these receipts (so far!) Apps like Kled create receipts on Trace to give AI labs peace of mind on the data they are buying - a service Kled is happy to pay for as it directly leads to more contracts and revenue. We expect to hit 1.5B receipts over the next few quarters based on projected ecosystem app usage, without accounting for any growth or new apps. Very excited to continue improving and growing Trace into the world's default transparency/audit layer for human contributed AI training data.

Every company is becoming an AI company. ↳ Every AI company needs proprietary data. Demand for real-world data is only going one direction.

Trace reaches >25M registrations, helping AI labs buy data with confidence. Billions more data registrations to come!

Numo is now live on @datafdn's Trace.

Now at 25,000,000 registrations.

For years, every voice AI conversation passed through text. Speech ▸ text ▸ model ▸ back to speech. Now, speech models cut the middleman, with far more realistic results. But while the architecture has made leaps, one bottleneck remains: data. Enter: @otodotearth x @psdnai

the amount of real world data needed for robotics learning is several orders of magnitude larger than what is available today

ICYMI: ▸ Identified AI training data as the biggest opportunity last year ▸ Incubated @psdnai, which raised a $15M seed and gained traction with frontier AI labs ▸ Realized all AI labs need the same thing: scalable data with verifiable provenance and quality ▸ Built an ecosystem to solve it: Both Kled and Numo source data, Poseidon processes it, Trace verifies every record ▸ Kled is now already onboarding 1.5B+ human-contributed records to Trace Much more to come. x.com/devrelius/stat…

just crossed 15M receipts on Trace! on track to 100x this within a year.

Kled has registered over 15 million file records on the Trace Audit Portal in just a few days. Four multi billion dollar frontier AI labs have already begun using Trace to verify the integrity and provenance of Kled's data before making purchases. This is only the beginning. The Data Foundation will continue expanding the system until every file on Kled is fully auditable on chain. Live here: trace.datafdn.org/audit/kled

Quality submissions → real earnings. Live now in Malay and Indonesian.

Over 10+ million registrations have hit Trace, and the number keeps climbing. Every registration is a public receipt for data that can be verified, audited, and licensed with confidence. Onward.
