DATA Network is an open protocol where real human data is sourced, proven, and processed for AI training, giving labs a verifiable record of provenance, consent, licensing, and payment.
AI labs increasingly need real-world, human-generated training data that is consented, rights-cleared, and traceable because the open internet has been heavily scraped and regulators and legal teams demand provenance. DATA is betting that an open audit and licensing layer can make that supply usable at scale, with the network reporting 275.7 million receipts and 532.1 thousand contributors while the predecessor Story Protocol had raised $140 million and the Sui Foundation announced a further $30 million strategic investment.
