DATA Network joins Sui and Walrus to scale the supply chain for AI training data
Palo Alto, United States, October 12th, 2026, Chainwire
Trace, the onchain registry for rights-cleared AI training data with more than 250 million verifiable receipts, brings its training data to Sui and Walrus to power the next generation of AI models.
Sui Foundation and The DATA Foundation today announced that the DATA Network and its Trace registry are joining the Sui stack, bringing a live supply of rights-cleared AI training data onto the infrastructure Sui has built for AI workloads. Walrus, the data platform with integrity proofs anchored on Sui, becomes the default storage layer for applications operated by DATA Foundation. Separately, the DATA Network will be upgraded to run as a protocol natively on Sui.
The upgrade gives AI labs a single place to source real-world training data they are allowed to use, with its provenance recorded by Trace and the original file stored and access-controlled on Walrus.
The data AI needs next
The next generation of AI models is constrained by access to real-world data. The open internet has been scraped, and the data that comes next must be sourced from people, with consent and with provenance that regulators and legal teams will accept. The EU AI Act and ongoing litigation over training data have made provenance a procurement requirement for labs.
The data those models need sits with people rather than on the open web: a nurse describing a patient’s night in her own words, a dashcam recording of a rainy commute in Jakarta, a factory technician’s hands as they diagnose a fault, or a customer call conducted in Bengali. It is personal and often regulated, and it belongs to the people who generated it.
Trace, launched by DATA Foundation in June as an onchain registry for AI training data, was built for exactly this kind of data. It records the origin of each contribution and the rights attached to it, and settles payment to the person who contributed it. It has registered more than 250 million contributions since launch and now processes over 3M receipts per day on average. Applications writing to Trace include Kled, the largest opt-in human data marketplace with over 1.5 billion records being onboarded, along with Numo and Oto, applications that already license data to frontier AI labs and robotics companies.
Why Sui and Walrus
Sui represents every asset as a programmable object, allowing datasets and their licenses to be managed onchain like tokens. Independent transactions execute in parallel and settle in under a second, making the network capable of handling millions of daily registrations. Walrus extends this capability to large files: it stores massive AI datasets efficiently and ensures data is only readable by licensed buyers. No other network offers storage, access control, and ownership tracking built natively into a single ecosystem, together with verifiable compute.
Trace now adds a flagship supply of rights-cleared data, with existing demand from the AI labs that license it today. The result of the integration will be stronger provenance guarantees and tamper evidence. Today a Trace record proves that a file was registered and when, and with Walrus, Trace will be able to hold an encrypted, immutable copy of the contributed file itself as a reference guarantee. The hash of the record can be regenerated from the data itself rather than from metadata an application supplied, and any later processing of the file can be checked against the original.
The upgrade is backed by a long-term strategic investment. 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, Chairman of Poseidon and CEO of PIP Labs, joins Sui Foundation as Strategic Advisor.
The protocol upgrade
DATA Network will be upgraded to run as a protocol natively on Sui, and its independent chain will be retired. $DATA continues as the token of the DATA protocol on Sui, carried over one-to-one, with holder economics and governance rights at least equivalent to today. Locked and vesting positions carry over unchanged. In parallel, Walrus becomes the default storage layer for DATA Foundation applications.
Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui and Walrus, said: “The AI industry has reached the point where the open internet has been read, and the next frontier is defined by access to datasets with the consent and provenance that regulators require. Sui and Walrus were built to be the home where AI data is stored, licensed, and paid for, capable of operating at the scale these systems demand. The migration of DATA Network and Trace to our stack now brings massive volumes of high-quality, rights-cleared data that is already serving the world’s frontier AI labs.”
SY Lee, Chairman of Poseidon and CEO of PIP Labs, said: “The next generation of AI will be trained on data that lives with people rather than on the open web, and that data needs consent and provenance built in, along with a way to pay the people it comes from, and Trace was built to be that layer. It now becomes part of the Sui stack alongside Walrus, backed by one of the strongest engineering organizations in the industry and with Sui Foundation as the network’s largest strategic holder. This is the right home for the network we built, and I am looking forward to helping Sui make it the data layer for AI.”
Andrea Muttoni, CEO of DATA Foundation, said: “Training data is critical for continuously expanding the frontier, and making sure it is traceable, auditable and cleared to use is just as important for AI safety as it is a precursor for data quality. With Trace, we have been tracking hundreds of millions of data assets. Joining forces with Sui now allows us to build out more of the stack, offering more than just an audit trail, like encrypted reference file storage and potentially fully verifiable TEEs for evals and fine tunings in the future.”
The existing DATA Network will continue to operate until the upgrade is complete, and a detailed timeline and holder transition plan will be published prior to the upgrade.
About DATA Foundation

Press Release
Malmö Project Outlines Business Proposal Development and Project Funds Management Activities in the Netherlands
Netherlands, 10th Oct 2026 — The Malmö Project, presented by Audrius Razma under the Project Funds Manager designation at Ossendrecht Contract, outlines an approach to business project proposal development, investment-related research, and the coordination of professional support services. The initiative is documented on the project’s online platform, where readers can explore its stated objectives and the resources associated with its activities.
The project information is published on the website of Audrius Razma and references Malmö as the focus of its business proposal activities. It describes the use of publicly available company information to develop commercial project proposals that may be presented to businesses for consideration and potential financing.
Business Research and Project Proposal Development
A central element of the Malmö Project is the preparation of business proposals informed by company information. The published material encourages readers to examine lists of businesses identified as potential investment opportunities and use relevant information to develop structured project proposals.
Business proposal development typically involves understanding a company’s activities, identifying potential commercial opportunities, assessing resource requirements, and presenting a clear rationale for a proposed initiative. A well-organized proposal can help prospective business partners evaluate the purpose, feasibility, and expected costs of a project before deciding whether to participate.
The project’s stated approach places emphasis on commercial awareness and the preparation of written material based on available business information. Such work requires careful research, transparent assumptions, and clear documentation of any projected financial outcomes.
Companies and individuals considering a proposal should independently verify the information used, assess the associated risks, and establish the terms of any potential funding arrangement before making financial commitments.
The Role of Project Funds Management
Audrius Razma is identified in the published material as the Project Funds Manager associated with Ossendrecht Contract. The role provides an administrative framework for the project’s discussion of funding proposals, portfolio documentation, and financial coordination.
Project funds management generally involves organizing financial records, documenting proposed allocations, monitoring project-related expenditures, and maintaining information that supports financial reviews. These activities can help stakeholders understand how a project is structured and what resources may be required for its implementation.
Clear documentation is particularly important when proposals involve multiple companies, external service providers, or prospective funding partners. Written agreements, verifiable records, and clearly defined responsibilities can help establish expectations and support informed decision-making.
Professional Support and Documentation
The online material also references professional services relating to legal assessments, translation, accounting reviews, investigative research, and the preparation of supporting reports. These services are presented as potential resources for individuals seeking assistance with complex administrative, financial, or legal matters.
Depending on the circumstances, professional support may help individuals organize documents, understand procedural requirements, review financial information, or prepare materials for consultation with qualified advisers.
Legal matters involving compensation claims, business liabilities, insolvency, or disputes with public authorities require an assessment of the relevant facts and applicable law. Outcomes depend on the evidence, jurisdiction, and individual circumstances. Individuals should therefore seek advice from appropriately qualified professionals before relying on potential compensation estimates or pursuing legal action.
Similarly, investment proposals should be reviewed carefully, with attention to the identity of the parties involved, the source and availability of funds, the proposed terms, and any associated risks.
Accessing Information About the Malmö Project
The project page provides the primary reference for readers interested in reviewing the Malmö Project’s published information. It outlines the proposal-development concept and identifies the associated project-management contact.
The initiative is presented in the context of business research, funding-related documentation, and coordination with professional service providers. Its practical application will depend on the details of individual proposals, the reliability of supporting information, and the terms agreed upon by the relevant parties.
Readers can consult the published page to learn more about the project’s stated approach and determine whether further clarification is required before entering into any business or financial arrangement.

Lovering & Partners adds AI role-play for leadership, sales and influence skills with LeaderCoreAI
The Bucharest performance consultancy becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and Central and Eastern Europe
Romania, 10th Oct 2026 – Lovering & Partners, the Bucharest-based business, sales and people performance consultancy, now offers AI role-play for leadership, sales and influence skills through a partnership with Blue Horizon Training, the maker and owner of LeaderCoreAI. Lovering & Partners becomes an authorised LeaderCoreAI partner and reseller for Romania and the wider Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region.
AI role-play simulations for difficult conversations
LeaderCoreAI is an artificial intelligence (AI) simulation platform for leadership development. Participants hold spoken, realistic conversations with AI characters – a resistant team member, a sceptical client, a room of peer managers with competing agendas. Each session ends with scored feedback and concrete recommendations.
Lovering & Partners will embed the platform into three of its own areas of work: leadership coaching and its acceleration programme for emerging leaders and managers, consultative sales training, and its ethical influence programmes. Between workshops and coaching sessions, participants practise the conversations those programmes prepare them for. They can repeat a conversation as often as they want, at five levels of difficulty.
Why practice decides whether training sticks
Pilots train to excellence in flight simulators before they carry passengers. Managers rarely get that chance. Role-play with colleagues offers a few attempts, limited by time and by the discomfort of practising in front of people they work with. So the first real test of a new skill usually comes in a real conversation, with a real person. The partnership brings the simulator into Lovering & Partners’ programmes.
“A workshop gives people the method. It does not give them the repetitions to build new capabilities,” said Colin Lovering, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Lovering & Partners. “Every client asks us the same question: will this training build skills that stick? No trainer can honestly guarantee that. Under pressure, people fall back on old instincts unless the new behaviour has been practised until it becomes the instinct. Now our clients’ people can get that practice, as much as they need.”
“We build the practice ground,” said Frank Basinski, founder of Blue Horizon Training. “We rely on partners who know how to develop people. Colin and his team have spent years doing that work with organisations in Romania and across the region. That is why we wanted them as a partner.”
How a learner experiences an AI role-play session
For the learner, a session feels like the real conversation. They speak, and the characters answer back, disagree and react to how they are treated. Nobody is watching, so people try approaches they would perhaps not dare with a real colleague. The feedback afterwards is theirs alone: what worked, what did not, and what to try next time. Participants can practise in 42 languages, so Lovering & Partners can offer the platform to multinational clients across the region.
Availability
LeaderCoreAI is available through Lovering & Partners with immediate effect, as part of its programmes or alongside them.
About Lovering & Partners
Lovering & Partners is a business, sales and people performance consultancy based in Bucharest, Romania. The firm helps organisations achieve strategic growth in those three areas. Every engagement is tailored to the client and measured by the outcome it delivers. Lovering & Partners is a founding member of the Cialdini Institute and works in English and Romanian. It is a trading name of Achieve International S.R.L. www.loveringpartners.com
About LeaderCoreAI and Blue Horizon Training
LeaderCoreAI is an AI role-play and simulation platform for leadership, sales and influence skills, made and owned by Blue Horizon Training S.R.L. of Bucharest, Romania. Leaders practise difficult conversations with AI characters in 42 languages and receive scored feedback after every session.
