Perceptron has closed a $6.5 million strategic funding round to develop a decentralised network for collecting and verifying data used to train artificial intelligence systems, according to Tech.eu.
The round drew participation from a group of Web3 investors, trading firms and infrastructure providers, including Sigma Capital, Selini Capital, QCP Capital, P2 Ventures, CoinDCX Ventures, Momentum6, DeFi Capital, Walrus Foundation, Aethir, Colosseum, GuruDev Capital, Tempo Finance, NewTribe Capital, Digital Consensus Fund and CodeCraft Capital.
The company is building what it describes as a single contributor mesh that combines idle bandwidth, distinctive datasets and domain expertise, enabling AI firms and individual contributors to source, verify and monetise data. Perceptron says the approach can move a project from data request to a delivered dataset within days, reducing reliance on centralised scraping infrastructure.
