Partnership Announcement: Codatta

In 2001, Wikipedia launched with a simple idea: if you let people share what they know, the internet gets smarter.

It worked—kind of.

But the data it created was never designed to train models. Messy. Biased. Hard to verify. Good enough for people. Bad for AI.

The Expert Knowledge Gap

That's the problem Codatta is solving. And it's why we're proud to welcome them into the Irys ecosystem.

They've built a marketplace for experts to package, verify, and monetize their domain-specific knowledge directly as AI training data. Engineers sharing robotics data. Scientists sharing experimental data. Practitioners sharing data that only experience can create.

Codatta recognized that world-class experts are sitting on terabytes of valuable data—knowledge that current AI training approaches completely miss.

Real Data, Real Impact

Now, that data lives on Irys's high-performance datachain.

We're starting with 40TB of robotics data. Real operational data, from real robots, solving real problems. As the partnership deepens, that number will continue to grow.

Building Infrastructure That Values Creators

To access the world's best data, there must be infrastructure that allows that value to be captured by those who create it.

This matters.

The current model—where big tech scrapes data without attribution or compensation—leaves the most valuable knowledge holders out of the AI revolution entirely. We're changing that.

Together, we're building AI infrastructure that learns from humanity's best minds, while ensuring those minds are rewarded for their contributions.

The Future of AI Training

This partnership represents something bigger than just data storage. It's about creating sustainable pathways for expert knowledge to reach AI models, while preserving the value and attribution that expertise deserves.

Welcome to the ecosystem, Codatta. Let's build AI that learns from the best.
