OKX Ventures Leads Seed Round in Decentralized Data Protocol Codatta

OKX Ventures, the investment arm of the prominent crypto exchange OKX, has announced its leading investment in Codatta, the first decentralized data protocol designed to build foundational data infrastructure for developers and protocols, according to OKX Ventures.

Overview of Codatta

Codatta aims to create a robust data infrastructure with built-in mechanisms that generate scientific confidence levels. The protocol allows Web3 users to monetize their data and efforts in developing publicly accessible data without compromising privacy. Codatta has built a substantial network of data contributors who enhance data confidence through AI-verified evidence, multi-party cross-referencing, and staking-as-confidence mechanisms.

Developers can leverage Codatta to create Web3-native applications powered by machine learning models. Potential applications include criminal-resistant networks, on-chain advertisement, dApp-agnostic recommendation systems, and credit-based lending products.

They are pioneering AI technology in blockchain metadata collaboration, enabling complex transactional analysis, trend analysis, and DeFi project research.

The protocol’s extensibility allows for an ever-growing scope of data, unlocking an expanding list of Web3-native applications.”

Since its Beta launch in April 2024, Codatta has attracted millions of address annotations from users, complementing its existing 500 million tagged addresses. OKX Ventures believes that Codatta has the potential to become a go-to platform for developers seeking essential data.
