Modern AI systems increasingly require long-tail, domain-specific datasets that neither public corpora nor conventional data-broker pipelines can supply efficiently. Validata transforms any mobile device into a data-collection node with cryptographic provenance and fair-market pricing.

~6.8 Bn camera phones unlocking latent supply for specialized AI/ML datasets
Modern AI systems increasingly require long-tail, domain-specific datasets that neither public corpora nor conventional data-broker pipelines can supply efficiently. Validata is a decentralised protocol that transforms any mobile device into a data-collection node, providing cryptographic provenance, automated quality assurance, and fair‐market pricing for contributed assets.
Bounties are settled in a fixed-supply utility token ($DATA) on the Base (L2) network. A hybrid validation layer—combining on-chain staking, machine-learning heuristics, and graph consensus—ensures integrity while preserving contributor privacy through end-to-end encryption, differential-privacy noise, and TEEs.
Governance, fee parameters, and treasury allocation are controlled by a token-weighted DAO.
A requester escrows $DATA and specifies acceptance criteria (schema Σ, min-quality θ, expiry t*) via a Bounty contract.
Contributors capture assets through the Validata dApp (or SDK), which performs local pre-processing (blur, EXIF stripping) before uploading encrypted objects to IPFS/Filecoin.
Duplicate detection via pHash/CLIP, semantic scoring through ResNet-50 and EfficientNet-V2 ensemble, and consensus from stochastically selected ValidatorPool.
If σ≥θ, the contributor receives reward R = B_base · σ · v (v = Shapley percentile). A 10% stake is unlocked or slashed on failure.
Finalised datasets are wrapped in DataPass (ERC-1155); purchasers burn $DATA or pay fiat→swap to obtain access keys.

Validata merges cryptographic incentives, automated machine-learning validation, and privacy-preserving engineering to create a permissionless, high-integrity marketplace for specialised AI/ML datasets. By leveraging Base L2, EIP-4337 smart accounts, and community governance, Validata converts pixels to tokens—unleashing a global, equitable data economy for the next generation of intelligence.
