PANews, June 26 - As a core ecosystem AI project of DATA (formerly Story), blockchain AI data infrastructure Poseidon has announced a strategic partnership with South Korea’s national mobile financial platform Toss, becoming Toss’s first partnership project in the Web3 and AI data space. Poseidon focuses on providing traceable, high-quality real-world training data for cutting-edge global AI models.

Poseidon’s app Numo has been integrated into Toss as a mini-program, directly reaching its approximately 30 million user base. Without downloading an additional app, users can participate in generating Korean voice, image, and POV (first-person perspective) behavioral data within Toss and receive real-time rewards based on their contributions. The provenance and value of each piece of data are fully recorded on the blockchain, creating a transparent closed loop from data contribution to earnings.

Poseidon has completed a $15 million seed round led by a16z. Its contributor app Numo has accumulated over 711,000 on-chain data registration records globally and is now available via iOS, Android, and the Toss app. In addition, DATA Network officially completed its brand upgrade from Story this week, with the native token $IP officially renamed to $DATA, and holders swapped at a 1:1 ratio. Since its launch, the price has risen by 28.24%.
