Building the world's AI data network.

CDR is now live on our testnet, enabling the safe transfer of private data. This milestone unlocks plenty of use cases, including: 1. Private on-chain data 2. Data marketplaces 3. Purchasing outputs of AI without ever revealing input data Start building ↓
The next wave of AI depends on data that can’t be exposed. Now with Confidential Data Rails (CDR), that constraint disappears. ▸ Data stays encrypted ▸ Access is defined upfront ▸ Secure pre-conditions held for decryption Live now on testnet.

A bigger stack for what we're building. With DATA moving to Sui, builders will be able to tap into provenance, storage, access control, and rights-cleared AI data across one ecosystem. Lots more to build from here.
DATA is coming to @SuiNetwork. The DATA Network and Trace are joining the Sui stack, bringing a live supply of rights-cleared AI training data to infrastructure built for AI workloads. With 250M+ receipts already recorded by Trace, AI labs will be able to source real-world data with verifiable provenance, while @WalrusProtocol provides the underlying storage layer. Sui Foundation is investing $30 million in the DATA Network, establishing the largest institutional stake in the network, alongside the continuing holdings of PIP Labs and the DATA Foundation. Furthering the alignment, SY Lee, founder of the DATA Network and CEO of PIP Labs, joins Sui Foundation as Strategic Advisor. In the coming months: ▸ The DATA Network will be upgraded to run as a protocol natively on Sui ▸ Walrus becomes the default storage layer for DATA Foundation apps ▸ $DATA remains the token of the DATA protocol The next chapter of DATA starts here.

The definition of "rare data" is in flux. Online content ≠ rare (it's been scraped) Technical datasets ≠ rare (again, scraped) Trustworthy human data = rare (can't be scraped) Proving that rarity is now critical. @jacobmtucker breaks down how receipts work on Trace ↓

The @datafdn has onboarded 87.5M records from data collection apps like @useKled I believe that every single company in the future will have a data monetization arm even if they aren't intentionally in this space When they go to sell that data, frontier labs will look for an audit report covering the dataset Did data contributors KYC, were they paid, etc This is exactly what we're building with Trace, the public AI audit ledger ... and every single data registration is a transaction on the $DATA Network We're currently sitting at #18 overall by chain fees,

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

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
