It is reported that Irys officially launched Brickroad today - the first native transparent data marketplace built on the Irys network, dedicated to solving key pain points in data procurement in the AI era and accelerating the on-chain process of large-scale institutional data.
In the current rapid iteration of AI, data has become the core resource driving model advancement. However, in reality, data procurement still faces numerous challenges such as cumbersome processes, long cycles, and opaque pricing. High-quality data assets have long been idle, and data liquidity is severely insufficient, becoming a bottleneck in the AI development chain.
The birth of Brickroad is precisely to address this structural inefficiency.
As a key native application in the Irys ecosystem, Brickroad significantly enhances the commercialization and trading efficiency of data through standardized and procedural means:
For data providers: Brickroad offers a complete process covering data packaging, cleaning, labeling, performance verification, and authorization management, transforming raw data into tradable standardized products. At the same time, Brickroad supports the tokenization of data revenue, allowing data providers to obtain financing channels without diluting equity or incurring debt.
For data demanders: Brickroad gathers high-value data resources from language, vision, sensors, and structured fields, accompanied by complete metadata, clear licensing structures, and unified delivery formats, greatly lowering the barriers to data acquisition. Whether it is AI laboratories, financial institutions, or intelligent agents, a data retrieval experience as simple as 'prompt words' can be achieved.
Every data upload will create a long-term storage demand for the Irys network; each transaction will generate continuous on-chain transaction fee income; and every buyer and seller is a part of the growth of the Irys network.
Brickroad is far more than just a data marketplace; it is the core engine driving Irys's growth.
According to conservative estimates, Brickroad is expected to drive over 1 EB (exabyte) of institutional-level data migration to the Irys network in the next three years, continuously enhancing network utilization and native asset value.
Brickroad is transforming the biggest structural barrier in the AI industry - the inefficient data procurement process - into the flywheel effect and growth momentum of Irys. Institutions are accelerating their access, and the future of Irys's data is already on the way.
