Been digging deeper into $OPEN datanets lately.
And I finally get why people keep calling them “community-owned datasets.”
It’s not just storage, the data actually earns when it gets used.
Anyone can upload, and the system automatically threads it into models with clean attribution.
Feels like the opposite of how big AI companies treat data (hoard everything, reveal nothing).
Instead on @OpenledgerHQ it’s:
Open pools → permissionless access → contributors actually get paid.
Pair that with EigenDA for cheap + fast data availability, and we get scalable AI infra without some massive corporation as the gatekeeper.
Ngl it feels more and more like they’re building the data economy part of AI the right way.
