Poseidon is building a decentralized AI data layer to provide traceable, enforceable and monetizable access to training data for robotics and AI models. It leverages blockchain-based smart contracts to manage licensing, payments and IP protections for data contributors. The project was incubated by IP-focused protocol Story, which converts intellectual property into programmable assets that can be licensed and managed via smart contracts. Poseidon aims to address ethical and legal concerns around AI training by compensating creators and protecting proprietary works used in model training. Its approach enables controlled, decentralized sharing of data while preserving privacy and allowing multiple parties to contribute to large-model training. Financially, Poseidon recently closed a $15 million seed round led by a16z Crypto.
