OKX Ventures, the investment division of prominent crypto exchange and Web3 technology company OKX, declared its leadership in the seed round financing of Codatta, a pioneering decentralized data protocol, on June 12, 2024.
This venture marks a strategic move to establish foundational data infrastructure essential for developers and various protocols.
Codatta: A Pioneering Decentralized Data Protocol
Codatta sets itself apart as the initial decentralized data protocol designed to offer developers foundational data infrastructure. It integrates sophisticated mechanisms that generate scientific confidence levels.
This protocol aims to empower Web3 users to monetize their data and development efforts in creating publicly accessible databases without sacrificing privacy.
Codatta has built a large network of data contributors, enhancing data reliability through AI-verified proofs, multi-party cross-referencing, and staking-as-confidence strategies.
Furthermore, it enables developers to develop Web3-native applications utilizing machine learning models in various fields, including criminal-resistant networks, on-chain advertisement, dApp-agnostic recommendation systems, and credit-based lending products.
Dora Yue, the founder of OKX Ventures, expressed her enthusiasm about leading Codatta’s seed investment.
She highlighted Codatta’s innovative approach in AI technology within blockchain metadata collaboration, which facilitates complex transactional analysis, trend analysis, and DeFi project research. “By capturing annotation data while protecting on-chain address privacy, Codatta is setting new standards,” Yue said.
The protocol’s extensibility facilitates a growing scope of data, which in turn unlocks a broadening list of Web3-native applications. Since its beta launch in April 2024, Codatta has seen substantial growth, with millions of address annotations contributed by users, augmenting its existing database of 500 million tagged addresses.
