OORT is a technology company specializing in decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.[1][2] Founded in May 2021 and headquartered in New York, OORT provides a secure and scalable platform for AI data collection, processing, and monetization.[3] It positions itself as the data cloud for decentralized AI, with its flagship product, DataHub, enabling global contributors to collect, label, and validate AI datasets while being fairly compensated.

History

OORT was founded to shape the future of AI by turning the global community into a scalable, verifiable, and privacy-preserving data engine.[4] At the core of its mission is DataHub, a blockchain-powered platform that ensures transparency, security, and accountability in AI data collection and validation. Since its launch, OORT has engaged contributors from over 100 countries worldwide.[5]

The company raised $10 million in funding from leading venture capital firms, including Taisu Venture, Red Beard Venture, and Sanctor Capital, and received corporate grants from Microsoft and Google.

OORT is trusted by globally recognized partners and clients, such as Githon Technology (formerly Lenovo Image), Dell, Binance, Seagate, and Tencent Cloud.

Market

The artificial intelligence (AI) market has experienced significant growth, with a total market valuation exceeding $136 billion in 2022 and projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.3% through 2030.[6][7] Within the AI sector, infrastructure components—including computation, storage, and data management—typically account for 15-25% of total AI spending.[8][9] Based on 2022 data, this segment represented an estimated $20.4 billion to $34 billion market, with projections indicating a potential increase to $52 billion by 2025.[10][11]

As AI adoption accelerates, the demand for high-quality training data is growing faster than centralized sources can supply. According to Goldman Sachs’ data chief, AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini are already reaching the limits of available training data. To overcome this shortage, AI systems are increasingly relying on synthetic data generated by other AI models—a solution that can’t fully replicate the diversity and accuracy of real-world data. Decentralized AI data collection is critical, as it taps into a global network of contributors to generate authentic, diverse, and verifiable datasets, ensuring AI models continue to learn and perform effectively.[12][13][2]

Competitive Landscape

The decentralized AI data market includes several established projects with varying specializations:

  • Ocean Protocol: Decentralized data marketplace for AI and ML datasets.
  • Sahara AI: Decentralized knowledge agent platform and AI data marketplace.
  • OORT: Decentralized data collection, processing, and monetization solution for AI.
  • VANA: Decentralized platform for users to control, monetize, and pool personal
  • Streamr: Real-time data network for decentralized data streams.

By integrating data collection,processing, and monetization into a unified ecosystem, OORT aims to address multiple aspects of the AI data lifecycle.

Ecosystem and Infrastructure

OORT’s decentralized AI data cloud consists of two core components:

  • OORT DataHub: The core platform for launching and participating in AI data tasks, including uploading, processing, and validating image, audio, and video data.
  • OORT Edge: A decentralized network that powers the storage and processing of AI data collected through OORT DataHub.

As of 2025, OORT operates an Edge network of over 86,000 nodes, providing a globally distributed infrastructure for its decentralized AI data cloud.

Market Positioning and Future Outlook

Utilizing blockchain technology for AI data solutions, OORT seeks to capture a share of the growing AI infrastructure market. The company's approach aligns with broader industry trends favoring decentralization, data sovereignty, and cost-effective AI data solutions.[14][2]

Analysts have drawn comparisons between decentralized AI infrastructure and decentralized energy grids, both of which aim to democratize access to essential resources by distributing control away from centralized entities.[15][16] As AI continues to reshape industries, the demand for secure, scalable, and transparent infrastructure is expected to grow, positioning OORT as a key participant in the decentralized AI sector.[17][18]

Technology

OORT is built on its proprietary Olympus Layer-1 protocol, a blockchain infrastructure designed to support decentralized applications (dApps) and provide transparent and verifiable artificial intelligence (AI) development.[18][19] Unlike blockchain projects that utilize established networks such as Ethereum or Solana, OORT operates on a native protocol that integrates decentralized storage, computation, and data management.[2]

The Olympus protocol serves as the foundation for OORT’s core product and its infrastructure: OORT DataHub, and OORT Edge. Together they facilitate the key stages of AI data solution, including data collection, secure storage, and computational processing.[20][21] The interoperability of these components allows for seamless integration within the AI infrastructure, distinguishing OORT from other decentralized networks. OORT’s technology includes multi-chain interoperability, enabling it to interact with other blockchain ecosystems, including Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum. Its verifiability framework ensures that processes such as data collection, storage, and processing are auditable, addressing concerns related to data integrity and model transparency. The platform leverages blockchain technology to ensure that data remains unaltered and that AI models are trained on reliable datasets.[21][22] OORT holds two U.S. patents related to distributed computing and result verification.[2]

The OORT ecosystem incorporates a staking mechanism, allowing network participants to earn rewards for providing computational power and storage resources. This incentivization model aims to support network scalability and decentralization. Additionally, OORT has suggested future implementations of derivative tokens tied to its products, potentially expanding its economic framework.[2]

OORT maintains partial open-source accessibility, with segments of its codebase available for public review on GitHub. However, proprietary components, such as its verifiability mechanisms, remain closed-source to protect intellectual property.[23] Independent security audits have been conducted on these components to ensure their integrity.

The development of OORT began in 2021, with an initial focus on research and development before securing external funding. The project has received technical support and grants from technology firms, including Microsoft and Google. Demonstrations of its decentralized data collection, storage, and computation capabilities are accessible through its interactive platform.[24][2]

OORT also employs secure bridging technology to facilitate interoperability with external blockchain networks. These mechanisms are designed to enhance security and mitigate vulnerabilities commonly associated with decentralized systems.[25]
