Value is migrating toward provenance.
We believe the next era of AI will be defined not just by collecting more data, but by proving where it came from.

How does AI training data actually make its way from a contributor to an AI lab?
A walkthrough of Trace, our audit layer for AI training data, with @devrelius

ICYMI:
▸ Identified AI training data as the biggest opportunity last year
▸ Incubated @psdnai, which raised a $15M seed and gained traction with frontier AI labs
▸ Realized all AI labs need the same thing: scalable data with verifiable provenance and quality
▸ Built an ecosystem to solve it: Both Kled and Numo source data, Poseidon processes it, Trace verifies every record
▸ Kled is now already onboarding 1.5B+ human-contributed records to Trace
Much more to come.

Today, Story becomes The DATA Foundation.
$IP is now $DATA. The Story Network is now DATA Network, tracking 1B+ data records with a singular mission: to become the trust layer for all AI training data.
Welcome to The DATA Foundation.
Quick announcement on Story's ticker update 🚨
- Only the network token ticker has changed: $IP → $data. Nothing else about the network or Verio's liquid staking changes.
- $vIP remains Verio's liquid staking token and continues to accrue staking rewards, meaning $vIP continues to appreciate against $data over time. Currently, 1 $vIP ≈ 1.1 $data.
- We've updated the Verio app so you'll now see your $data balance (equivalent to your previous $IP balance) throughout the entire frontend, while the liquid staking token remains $vIP.
Business as usual — just a new ticker for the underlying network token. Same protocol. Same yield. New ticker.

1/ We built oto so people can have real conversations and earn, while creating the data the next generation of voice AI actually needs.
Today we're partnering with @psdnai + @StoryProtocol. Your conversations, your consent, verifiable onchain.

Verio is built to work seamlessly within the broader Story stack.
Liquid staking feeds into IP Asset re-staking.
Re-staking feeds into better royalty distribution and licensing.
Every piece connects. Every action compounds.
We’re not building isolated features. We’re building interconnected infrastructure for the onchain IP era.
Excited for what’s next. 😎
