What is DIN?
DIN is the First Modular AI-Native Data Pre-Processing Layer.Created from the foundation of the Data Intelligence Network, DIN is designed to empower everyone to cook data for AI and get paid.
The value proposition of DIN is to build a data intelligence network founded on the synergy among people, data, and AI. DIN protocol uses blockchain as the record and settlement layer, building a primary data layer to collect, validate, vectorize, and incentivize both on-chain and off-chain data.

How does DIN work?
Data is crucial in the AI workflow and fundamental to AI blockchain, as all dAI apps rely on high-quality data. DIN, as the first modular AI-native data pre-processing layer, is committed to making data more accessible and user-friendly.
In the DIN ecosystem, three participants are continuously involved in the data flow of AI.
- Data Collectors: Collect and label raw data
- Data Validators & Vectorizers: Use local AI models on devices like mobiles and laptops for data validation, classification, cleaning, and augmentation
The data processed by DIN can be supplied to AI companies for extensive model training, AI Agent creation, and trading within the data marketplace. Any profits generated from this data will be distributed back to the network participants.
The Node is an essential part of the DIN ecosystem, enabling the data validation and vectorisation process, and providing reward conversion computation power.
DIN’s AI Data Node Infrastructure: xData
In early April this year, DIN launched its first AI data collection node infrastructure, xData, on opBNB. xData encourages users to capture valuable content from social media platforms and mark, collect, and store it on the blockchain, achieving on-chain aggregation of off-chain data. To date, xData has over 200,000 users, with more than 40,000 daily active users. Multiple ecosystems and projects have become AI data consumers of xData, leveraging it for social media growth.
Main Highlights
- Effortless data collection
xData introduces a seamless and user-friendly solution for effortlessly capturing user’s favorite tweets. As a Chrome extension, It offers the easiest shortcut for users to record and preserve tweets that resonate with them.
- Decentralized data scraping
Unlike traditional methods that rely solely on the Twitter API, xData leverages decentralized data scraping techniques. By decentralizing the data collection process, xData reduces reliance on centralized entities and provides a more resilient and censorship-resistant approach to data scraping.
- Protection of data ownership and privacy
By securely storing users’ data onchain users retain full control over collected Twitter data. All the data is encrypted and stored in a decentralized manner, safeguarding it from unauthorized access and potential data breaches. With xData, users can have peace of mind knowing that data is protected and privacy is respected.
- Data Monetization
xData empowers users to not only record tweets but also monetize them. All of the contributions are recorded onchain and xData will ensure transparency and enables users to earn rewards in a fair and equitable manner.
Through collaborative efforts and the utilization of smart devices, users embark on a voyage to construct an expansive data repository, perpetually etched into the annals of time, while reaping rich rewards along the way. xData’s genesis commences as a browser extension and starts with the data from X, the pivotal nexus for Web3 traffic and information. Here, users are bestowed with the ability to mark, gather, and securely store invaluable tweets on blockchains. Harnessing the prowess of AI agents, users seamlessly process and categorize content, fashioning bespoke libraries for effortless reference. Moreover, the option to monetize contributions and expertise by offering curated libraries for sale or consultation through automated bots further amplifies the allure of xData.
Core Features
xData consists of two key components: the extension and the website. The extension is a convenient tool that enables users to complete tasks and earn future rewards. In contrast, the website serves as a platform for navigating all the available information. Below are some core features of xData:
- Extension download: First users should download extension. Once the installation is complete, the xData product will appear on the sidebar of the Twitter page. Next, open X, install MetaMask, and connect wallet. In xData, each wallet address is linked to a unique Twitter account. Switching Twitter account requires re-logging in.

- Chip: Chip serves as the exclusive recorder linked to users’ xData accounts, providing access to a plethora of features designed to streamline data management. With Chip, users can seamlessly log their contributions within the xData ecosystem, including storing tweets securely on-chain, curating personalized datasets, and even creating their own X-agents for future use.
- Wafer: Within the xData ecosystem, Wafers play a pivotal role as rewarding points that users can accrue through various engagements. From daily check-ins in the xData Space to charging Chip every six hours, users have ample opportunities to earn Wafers effortlessly. Additionally, engaging in random GODIN missions allows users to mark their favorite tweets and earn abundant Wafers as a reward.
- GODIN: GODIN introduces a novel way for users to interact with their favourite tweets while earning rewards in the process. By simply replying to a tweet with “@din_lol_ GoDIN,” users can mark the tweet and have its content securely stored on-chain. Each successful GODIN mission completion rewards users with Wafers, further incentivizing active participation.
- xData Space: xData Space is a place where GODIN tweets are stored. Users can use it as a personal knowledge center, where the knowledge would be transferred into an on-chain data set owned by users.
