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

Kled is now, for the first time, officially charting in the top 200 finance apps in the United States. We are also in the top 100 finance apps in 60 other countries simultaneously right now.

We’ve already begun retention testing on this version vs our last across 1,000 users: -55.2x on average uploads on initial download. -4.7x more likely to complete complex high pay special tasks on initial download. -63.5x average app opens over a 1 week timeframe vs our last update. And more…

4 months later Kled’s V3 mobile app is finally on my phone. Prepare yourself, I love my team.

Kled has officially crossed 10 million views per week across TikTok, Instagram, and more. Directly from users. Our app has consistently remained top 100 in 20+ countries and top 10-20 in countries like Indonesia. Our iPhone market share will soon be supplemented by our new Android app release which just did over 5,000 pre registrations in less than an hour.

@avipat_ Number 1 ranking overall on the play store here we come.

Kled is coming to android. Pre-registration live today on the Google Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/det… The most requested addition to the company since we launched the app a few months ago. This update should greatly increase Kled’s market share and will be followed with a Web / PC release as well.

We've received an $8 million request for anonymized financial data. Credit card reports, tax returns, w9 forms and other personal financial documents. Users will be able to upload and get paid for these documents at their discretion directly in the Kled app. Fully anonymized with 0 personal data leaked. Expected pay is up to $50-$150 per form. Live with our V3 update, currently being fulfilled through a network of specialized accountants with the proper legal clearance. On another note over the next 3 days another $500,000 of $KLED will be purchased.

@avipat_ All capital will be market bought on the open market and not OTC.

Starting today, several of our existing equity investors and institutional investors are continuing to build a collective multi seven-figure position in $KLED. Our equity round is now officially closed until our Series A, and I am personally directing any new institutional venture capital interest toward the $KLED token instead. In addition, some token holders will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase equity in the company on the secondary market from a small number of former employees, further involving the token community in the company. You can preview our existing investors on the home page of our website here: kled.ai

We’ve started and are continuing to buy back over $1 million of $KLED in the last 48 hours. $KLED will ultimately become a fully viable reward currency for our data marketplace and human in the loop fraud detection tools we have built. As our contracts get bigger and bigger we will continue to support our token community accordingly and to our discretion.

@avipat_ Welcome Yash!

We are beyond excited to announce that Yash Sahay who served as the Director of Engineering at Meta Superintelligence Labs has joined Kled as an investor. Yash will play a pivotal role in helping guide our data quality pipeline to match the needs of all the major frontier models and labs as we continue to increase the size of our data contracts.

@datafdn Lets gooooo!

Trust and safety is the biggest bottleneck in data, congrats to the Kled team, our flagship partner.

Kled has just signed a $12 million non-exclusive data deal over the next 2 years making the marketplace officially profitable. We’re now heavily expanding our team to bring Kled to android, support every global currency / payment method, increase our daily uploads and registrations on Trace by 2x in 1 month, and roll out our next fraud detection model for better data quality. We want the best engineers in the world. All open careers can be found here: kled.ai
