Data Guardians Network (D-GN), a decentralized platform transforming global human input into highly accurate, ethically sourced frontier training data for AI, has closed a US$5 million pre-seed round led by Saudi businessman Hamoud Al-Rumayyan, Web3 infrastructure leader droppGroup and veteran crypto firm Hub Culture.
D-GN’s Emergence
The investment fuels D-GN’s emergence from stealth and accelerates its global rollout, scaling contributor operations, multimodal data pipelines and enterprise integrations worldwide.
Trustworthy AI
D-GN enables enterprises to build trustworthy AI by sourcing diverse, human-created and -labelled frontier datasets through a decentralized contributor model. Users around the world complete data annotation tasks – such as image classification, voice tagging, lip syncing and human-emotion mapping – through a gamified experience, and earn Tether’s USDT stablecoin for their data annotation work. D-GN empowers users across the world with alternative income models. Thanks to this global network of users, the resulting AI dataset is more accurate, diverse, and regulation-ready.
With this investment, D-GN will scale contributor operations in MENA, Latin America and Southeast Asia, with the goal of becoming the largest ethical AI data producer in the world.
