Data Network

Data Network is a layer 1 blockchain built specifically to register and manage intellectual property rights for AI-related data, including images, AI models, and training datasets. It allows data owners to embed usage terms, attribution rules, and royalty agreements directly on-chain, making those rights programmable and enforceable without relying on a central authority. The intended users are AI data holders, individual creators, and AI companies who want a transparent way to track and monetize the data used to train machine-learning systems.

Data Network operates as its own layer 1 chain, though the consensus algorithm and block time are not recorded in the available data, so those specifics cannot be described here. The core mechanism involves tokenizing IP assets — converting a piece of data, a model, or an image into an on-chain object that carries embedded licensing and royalty terms. The DATA token functions within this system as the native asset of the chain, though the exact roles it plays in transaction settlement, governance, or royalty flows are not detailed in the stored data.

The protocol does collect fees: over the trailing 30 days it recorded 12,533.33 USD in fees, and over the trailing 12 months 256,190.40 USD, though the most recent 24-hour figure stands at just 1.97 USD. Fee activity over the past 30 days fell 46.17 percent compared with the prior period. Annualizing the trailing 30-day fee run-rate produces 152,488.85 USD, which places the fully diluted valuation at 1,069.4 times annualized fees and the circulating market capitalization at 372.65 times that same figure. The stored data does not specify who receives collected fees — whether they flow to token holders, validators, a treasury, or some combination.
