The DATA Foundation Launches to Tackle AI’s Multi-Billion Dollar Training Data Bottleneck
Palo Alto, United States, June 25th, 2026, Chainwire
Story rebrands as The DATA Foundation, launches DATA Network with flagship Kled AI integration, registering 1.5 billion user-contributed records on the platform
The Foundation also introduces Trace, the first public audit layer for consent, licensing, and data provenance at scale
Today, Story announces a strategic transition to become The DATA Foundation (“DATA”) and launches Trace, an onchain registry for AI training data provenance and licensing. The launch includes a flagship integration with Kled, the world’s largest opt-in human data marketplace, registering 1.5 billion user-contributed records on the Network. Andrea Muttoni becomes CEO of The DATA Foundation, and Kled’s founder, Avi Patel, joins in an advisor position as the Chief Data Officer.
AI’s Training Data Has Hit a Bottleneck
The shift to DATA reflects where the market is pulling hardest. AI training data has emerged as the most valuable and least solved category of IP. Frontier AI labs have hit a multi-billion-dollar data bottleneck, where the internet has been effectively exhausted for scraping. The remaining supply is either expensive and bespoke or legally undocumented, leaving labs without a way to source data at scale, prove its provenance, or guarantee its quality.
The legal stakes are rising, as frontier labs stake out market-defining products on data sourced through opaque networks, often without clear records of consent or jurisdiction. Scraped and undocumented data is no longer an option for enterprise-grade AI.
“The challenge in AI has shifted from compute and architecture to sourcing and provenance. As the scrapable web fractures, the question for labs now is who is keeping the receipts,” said Andrea Muttoni, CEO of The DATA Foundation. “With Kled, we combine full data transparency and auditability with the largest pool of AI training data on the planet.”
Building the Infrastructure for Trusted AI Data
DATA builds on the original mission to deliver a data and intellectual property (IP) layer for the internet, recognizing that the form of data and IP that is most critical in this era is AI training data. DATA Network brings essential infrastructure for training AI, anchored by a flagship integration with Kled. Starting today, Kled’s licensing rails and contributor receipts run on DATA Network with added support for stable coin payouts, which involves registering a staggering 1.5 billion user-contributed records with programmatic legal safeguards.
“Frontier labs have exhausted the supply of high-quality, human-generated public text available on the open web. Suppliers showing data-sourcing provenance will win the next decade of deals, and that’s our bet,” said Avi Patel, CEO and founder of Kled and part-time advisory CDO of The DATA Foundation. “Instead of sourcing data blindly, Kled’s data marketplace and DATA’s auditable chain of custody converge on what labs actually need to license data with confidence and transparency.”
Trace Launches as the Public Audit Layer for AI Training Data
Trace, The DATA Foundation’s public audit and search platform, also launches today alongside the Kled integration. Trace generates immutable, confidential receipts for every contribution, allowing labs to verify the legitimacy of datasets in seconds. For every single record uploaded by users worldwide, a receipt on DATA will be generated, enabling upstream compensation for contributors’ data and intellectual property. This addresses an urgent need for a verifiable and compliant AI training data market, which has become a legal and operational minefield.
A Wider Contributor Network
DATA’s thesis was validated by Poseidon, the AI data processing project incubated by Story, which cleans, normalizes, and scores raw human data for authenticity and quality, ensuring every record that reaches a buyer is model-ready. Poseidon’s early traction with frontier labs proved the AI training data opportunity. Backed by a16z and now running entirely on DATA, its contributor app Numo is live today, bringing thousands of contributors into the AI economy in exchange for real-time payouts.
“We started Story to build an IP layer for the internet, and the most important IP of this era is the data you can’t scrape: how a surgeon’s hands move, how a robot grips, how people speak, drive, and work in the real world,” said SY Lee, CEO of PIP Labs and strategic adviser to The DATA Foundation. “DATA is where that conviction goes next: an end-to-end network that proves real-world data’s origin, licenses it, and pays the people who made it. “
Token Migration and Ecosystem Continuity
The $IP token migrates to $DATA one-to-one with no action required from existing holders. Migration guidance, exchange timing, and an FAQ are available here.
About The DATA Foundation
Data is the biggest bottleneck in frontier AI. The data models need most either sits siloed with people and companies, or doesn’t exist yet, and won’t, until incentives are aligned to create it. DATA Network is the world’s AI audit rails built to answer the three questions every lab asks: can you source data at scale, prove where it came from, and guarantee its quality? Contributor apps including Numo and Kled supply opt-in human data; Trace gives every record a public, tamper-proof receipt; Poseidon turns it into model-ready datasets, so frontier AI can keep advancing on a foundation it can trust. $IP is now $DATA.

Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL Explains Why Problem-Solving Is One of Construction’s Most Valuable Skills
San Francisco, CA, 18th July 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Construction projects rarely unfold exactly as planned. Weather conditions, material availability, scheduling conflicts, and unexpected site conditions can all create obstacles that require quick thinking and practical solutions. According to Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL, one of the most valuable skills a construction professional can develop is the ability to solve problems effectively while keeping projects moving forward.
With more than two decades of experience in the construction industry, Bradford has learned that successful projects are not defined by the absence of challenges, but by how those challenges are managed. Every project presents opportunities to adapt, communicate, and make informed decisions that keep work progressing efficiently.
“Every construction project will encounter obstacles at some point,” Bradford says. “The difference is how teams respond. Strong problem-solving keeps projects moving instead of allowing setbacks to become larger issues.”
Every Project Presents Unique Challenges
According to Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL, no two construction projects are exactly alike. Site conditions, client goals, environmental factors, and scheduling demands all introduce different variables that require thoughtful planning and flexibility.
Rather than relying on the same solution every time, Bradford believes construction professionals should evaluate each situation individually and make decisions based on the project’s specific needs.
“Experience gives you perspective,” he explains. “The more projects you complete, the better you become at recognizing potential challenges and identifying practical solutions.”
Communication Improves Problem-Solving
Bradford believes effective communication is one of the most important tools when resolving issues during construction.
Construction projects involve multiple stakeholders, and keeping everyone informed allows decisions to be made more efficiently. Open communication also helps prevent misunderstandings that could create additional delays.
“When everyone understands what’s happening, teams can work together toward a solution much faster,” Bradford says. “Communication reduces uncertainty and helps maintain momentum.”
By encouraging transparency, project teams can respond more confidently when unexpected situations arise.
Staying Calm Under Pressure
Construction can be a fast-paced environment where decisions often need to be made quickly. Bradford believes remaining calm during difficult situations allows leaders to evaluate options more effectively.
“When challenges happen, people naturally look for direction,” he says. “Remaining focused instead of reacting emotionally helps everyone make better decisions.”
This steady approach not only improves project outcomes but also builds confidence throughout the team.
Learning From Every Challenge
One of Terrance Bradford’s guiding principles is viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.
Every project provides lessons that can improve future planning, communication, and decision-making. By reflecting on both successes and setbacks, construction professionals continue strengthening their ability to solve problems more effectively.
“I’ve learned something from every project I’ve worked on,” Bradford explains. “Those experiences help prepare you for the next challenge.”
Continuous improvement allows professionals to develop greater confidence while improving overall project performance.
Preparation Makes a Difference
While unexpected situations cannot always be avoided, Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL believes preparation significantly reduces their impact.
Careful planning, organized documentation, realistic scheduling, and proactive communication help teams anticipate many common challenges before construction begins.
“The more prepared you are, the more options you have when something unexpected occurs,” Bradford says. “Preparation gives teams flexibility.”
Strong preparation also allows projects to remain focused on long-term objectives instead of reacting to every short-term obstacle.
Building Stronger Construction Teams
Bradford believes problem-solving is ultimately a team effort. Encouraging collaboration and creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable sharing ideas often leads to better solutions.
“No single person has every answer,” he explains. “When people work together and bring different perspectives, they’re able to solve problems more effectively.”
Creating a collaborative culture strengthens not only project outcomes but also long-term professional relationships.
Looking Ahead
As construction projects continue becoming more complex, Terrance Bradford Tampa, FL believes problem-solving will remain one of the industry’s most valuable skills. Professionals who combine preparation, communication, adaptability, and collaboration are better equipped to navigate challenges while delivering successful results.
For Bradford, construction has always been about more than building structures. It is about bringing people together, overcoming obstacles, and continuously finding better ways to serve clients and strengthen communities. By approaching every challenge with a solutions-focused mindset, he believes construction professionals can continue delivering quality work while building trust that lasts well beyond project completion.

Numerai Completes Third Strategic NMR Buyback, Bringing Total Repurchases to $3.2 Million
San Francisco, CA, July 17th, 2026, Chainwire
Crowdsourced Hedge Fund Completes Third Open-Market Purchase as Contributor Network and Assets Continue to Grow
Numerai, the decentralized hedge fund powered by crowdsourced machine learning, today announced the completion of a third strategic purchase of Numeraire (NMR), acquiring an additional $1.2 million of the token from the open market. The purchase brings Numerai’s total NMR buybacks to $3.2 million within one year.
The buyback reflects Numerai’s continued investment in the staking system that aligns thousands of independent data scientists toward improving the firm’s Stake-Weighted Meta Model, the machine learning model that powers Numerai’s hedge fund. Contributors stake NMR on their models, earning additional NMR when their predictions perform well on future market data and losing it when they do not. The resulting Stake-Weighted Meta Model continues to outperform Numerai’s internal benchmark models, demonstrating the value of aligning incentives with predictive performance.
Since announcing its first strategic buyback in July 2025, Numerai’s network has expanded significantly. Active accounts have more than doubled over the past year, submissions continue to increase, and the platform has introduced new infrastructure including Numerai Skills, Numerai Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Atomic Blockchain Staking, enabling increasingly autonomous participation by AI systems.
The underlying hedge fund has also continued to grow. According to the company, Numerai now manages approximately $700 million in assets, up from approximately $560 million at the end of 2025.
Numeraire is a fixed-supply Ethereum token capped at 11 million NMR. Because tournament rewards and staking incentives are distributed from Numerai’s treasury, the company is replenishing its holdings through open-market purchases. Before this buyback, approximately 3.1 million NMR remained in Numerai’s treasury.
Unlike the previous two announcements, this buyback had already been completed before today’s announcement. As with prior purchases, the transaction was executed on the open market through Coinbase Institutional at or near the bid price over several weeks to minimize market impact.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. This content does not represent an offer to purchase or sell any security or the interests of any account managed by Numerai GP, LLC or its affiliates. Such an offer may only be made to persons who qualify to invest and in jurisdictions in which such an offer is legal.
About Numerai
Numerai is a San Francisco-based hedge fund and data science platform founded in 2015. Through a global competition and open API, thousands of data scientists submit stock market signals that are aggregated into a single Meta Model used to trade global equities. Numeraire (NMR) is used to stake and reward models that improve the fund. Numerai’s mission is to build the world’s last hedge fund through open, competitive machine intelligence.
