Today, we’re making it easier than ever for Akave users to monetize structured data through our new integration. Baselight is working on integrating Akave’s decentralized storage network, which will allow users to seamlessly list, share, and sell their structured datasets on Baselight’s decentralized data marketplace.

AI and data-driven enterprises generate enormous amounts of structured data, but monetization has typically been an afterthought as it is commonly fragmented, inefficient, and locked behind closed platforms. Our integration with Akave changes that. Akave users will be able to opt-in and make their stored datasets discoverable, queryable, and monetizable through Baselight, all while retaining full ownership and complete control over pricing and access. Simultaneously, Baselight users who want to upload and monetize their structured data will be able to utilize Akave’s decentralized storage network for all of their storage needs.

Building a Frictionless AI Data Economy with Decentralized Storage

Structured data is the fuel of AI, but access, storage, and monetization are broken:

• Data is siloed – storage and access exist in separate, disconnected platforms.
• Pricing is opaque – hidden costs and restrictive licensing models limit distribution.
• Ownership is unclear – centralized platforms control distribution, taking a cut without transparency.

Baselight and Akave fixes this.

Now, Akave users will soon be able to:

• Monetize structured datasets – seamlessly list AI, research, or financial data on Baselight.
• Enable instant discovery – allow developers, researchers, and businesses to find and query data on demand.
• Stay in control –  define how their data is shared, priced, and licensed with full transparency.

Baselight users will soon be able to store their structured data on Akave, unlocking benefits like:

• Seamlessly store datasets – users can upload their structured data and reduce cloud costs up to 80%, all while leveraging Akave’s decentralized storage for secure, verifiable, and globally distributed access.
• Enhance data availability – ensure datasets remain accessible with Akave’s resilient storage layer, removing reliance on centralized providers.
• Optimize monetization – leverage both Baselight’s structured data marketplace and Akave’s decentralized infrastructure to maximize revenue opportunities.

Who Benefits from Decentralized Structured Data Monetization?

The Baselight x Akave integration is built for those who create, store, and utilize structured data. Whether you’re an AI researcher, a data-driven enterprise, or a crypto-native builder, this partnership removes barriers to data monetization, access, and storage.

• Crypto-Native Builders & Researchers – the decentralized future of data is here. By combining Akave’s distributed storage with Baselight’s structured data marketplace, Web3 developers and researchers gain a powerful, permissionless way to access and analyze datasets.
• DePIN Networks – decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePINs) looking to build data marketplaces no longer need to develop custom solutions from scratch. By integrating with Baselight, DePIN projects can instantly offer a structured, monetizable data layer with seamless discovery and query capabilities.
• Data-Driven Enterprises – companies storing their valuable structured data on Akave will be able to tap into new revenue streams by listing it on Baselight while maintaining full ownership and control over distribution.
• AI Model Creators – training datasets and model outputs hold immense value but are often underutilized. With Baselight + Akave, AI developers will be able to securely store, monetize, and share their datasets, making them instantly discoverable and accessible to those who need them most.

With this integration, structured data isn’t just stored—it’s discovered, used, and valued.

Decentralized Storage Meets Open Data

This integration makes structured data easier to store, access, and monetize than ever before. By combining Akave’s globally distributed storage network with Baselight’s decentralized structured data marketplace, we’re removing barriers to discovery, ownership, and monetization. This gives data providers full control over how their data is used and more opportunities to maximize distribution.

Whether you’re an AI researcher, a data provider, or a business looking to expand your data strategy, Baselight and Akave makes it easier, faster, and more transparent to turn data into a real asset.

Get started today. Your data should work for you.
