How DATA is bringing the full data journey to @SuiNetwork
with @datafdn, the goal is simple: know where the data comes from, who can use it, and how people earn from their data.
->Trace records where the data comes from and its usage rights
->Walrus stores the data and helps check the original files
->Seal controls who can access the data
->Nautilus helps process data in a secure environment
the idea is to make data easier to track, safer to use, and fairer for the people who share it.
#DATAonSuiQuest
DATA is moving to @SuiNetwork with a new plan for AI data
The part I liked:⤵
→ $30M investment: Sui Foundation is investing in DATA.
→ Trace: has recorded over 250M receipts to show where data comes from
→ @WalrusProtocol: will store data for DATA apps
→ $DATA: will remain the network’s token
SY Lee, the founder of @datafdn, will also join Sui Foundation as a Strategic Advisor.
Good data matters, but knowing where it comes from matters too. DATA is working to make this easier and more reliable.
Let’s see how far DATA can go with Sui.
#DATAonSuiQuest
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.
DATA is moving toward a new future, and @SuiNetwork is helping lead the way
after years of running its own blockchain, @datafdn is moving to Sui with a $30M investment from Sui Foundation
in a @CoinDesk interview, CEO @devrelius said the team was trying to do too many things at once.
Now, they want to focus on one main goal: making AI training data easier to check and trust.
what’s behind this move? ⤵
→ Trace: tracks where AI data comes from and who has the rights to use it
→ Sui: helps the team focus on its main product instead of running its own blockchain
→ Walrus and Seal: can help store files and control who can access them
→ $DATA: tokens will move to Sui at a 1:1 rate with holder rights unchanged
to me, this is about doing one thing better instead of trying to do everything.
Let's see how far DATA can go from here.

From finding our focus in AI data to the thinking behind joining the Sui stack
CEO @devrelius went deeper on DATA's next chapter with @helenebraunn for @CoinDesk ↓
DATA is changing its approach to focus on growth, and @SuiNetwork is part of the journey
so, what does this mean for DATA? ↓
→ Trace has recorded nearly 300M data contributions and processes over 3M receipts daily
→ Sui helps Trace run faster and handle more activity
→ Walrus helps store data and check that it is real
→ Seal helps control who can access the data
→ Sui Foundation is making a $30M strategic investment in the partnership
→ $DATA tokens will move at a 1:1 ratio, while locked tokens and voting rights remain unchanged
the main goal is to help companies verify their data, license it, and earn value from it

Enjoyed speaking with @HeleneBraunn about the thinking behind our recent decisions, what we've learned along the way, and where we're headed next with @SuiFoundation.
Thoughtful piece that captures the bigger picture.

Data exclusivity is a massive problem in the ai training data space.
Vendors sell “exclusive” data to multiple buyers and they can’t verify it’s actually exclusive without some audit trail. That is what Trace is.
If you are buying an exclusive dataset you should be confident it’s actually exclusive. The best way to check is to see if that data already exists on Trace.
Force your data vendor to use Trace and protect yourself!
What happens to your $DATA when @datafdn moves to @SuiNetwork ?
here are the main things to know ⤋
→ your $DATA tokens will move at a 1:1 ratio
→ you don't need to do anything right now
→ your locked tokens and voting rights will stay the same
→ Trace will use Walrus to store data
→ the move to Sui will happen in steps, and the team will share the plan in advance
Trace has already recorded over 250M receipts and will continue its work on Sui
the goal is to make DATA easier to run and grow
let's see what comes next for DATA on Sui.

Building Trace at scale means making deliberate choices about where we invest our resources.
Joining the Sui stack gives us the infrastructure to grow while keeping our focus on the products and applications driving real adoption.
@devrelius on our next chapter ↓
owning something is one thing. knowing its purpose is another.
that's what makes CONSO BOTS interesting to me.
they work as mobile nodes for the network, and each bot gives a 25% mining boost over the base rate. the genesis collection includes 5,555 bots.
imo, understanding these details makes it easier to see why they matter within the ecosystem.
i'm still on my way to getting my own bot through @conso_xyz. let's see how far i can go.

@conso_xyz
AI needs good data, and we need to know where it comes from.
ngl, that’s what got my attention about @datafdn joining @SuiNetwork
->Trace has recorded 250M+ contributions and over 3M daily receipts, tracking where data comes from and who can use it
->@WalrusProtocol will store the data, while Sui helps manage it onchain
->Sui Foundation is also investing $30M in DATA Network
->The network will move to Sui, and $DATA will continue with a 1:1 transition
tbh, bringing these parts together is a big step for DATA
let’s see what comes next...

sometimes, a small interaction makes you look deeper.
tbh, i'm not eligible yet, but i'm still trying to earn a CONSO BOT.
yesteday, i published an article about @WalrusProtocol x @SuiNetworka x @datafdn
then i noticed @conso_xyz liked my article.
ngl, this made me think that Walrus could play an important role behind CONSO, providing the storage layer to support its ecosystem and help keep data available.
it's a small signal, not proof of a direct link, but it gave me another reason to keep exploring CONSO.
still creating, still learning, and still trying to get my own bot.
