Key Aspects of the Partnership

Multimodal Training Datasets: AI builders are currently able to utilize Autonomys’ distributed storage network (DSN) for text datasets (with audio and video data on the way). They will soon also be able to access Masa data for optimizing AI agents, fine-tuning LLMs, and powering dApps, via API and a variety of developer toolkits.
Advanced Agents: Developers building AI agents on Nova, our EVM platform optimized for AI data storage and execution, will soon be able to use the Masa protocol to access powerful data streams that will transform the efficiency, accuracy and utility of their agents.
Auto Agents: Autonomys will be leveraging Masa’s real-time data-streams to power our own game-changing agents and applications.

Community Benefits

Integrating with Masa will enable AI developers and builders to access a huge array of multimodal, real-time and static, structured, annotated, and vectorized data from across the web. Masa data is sourced from X, Discord, Telegram, TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, public and gated web pages, and more, providing a rich dataset for AI training, and ensuring a constant flow of high-quality data.

“Autonomys agents, meet Masa data. On-chain agents are the future of AI-empowered user engagement. We are excited to bring Masa’s real-time, high-quality data to power on-chain agents and apps in the Autonomys ecosystem. AI developers can build the next-generation of AI agents and applications, accessible to anyone, anywhere, with Masa data.” Calanthia Mei, Co-Founder of Masa
“With this partnership, we’re breaking down barriers to AI innovation, enabling developers to optimize agents with precision, using permissionless, high-quality data from across the web. By aligning our technical strengths, we’re building the foundation for the AI3.0 ecosystem — where decentralized storage and data resources fuel globally accessible, cutting-edge AI applications. This is more than a partnership; it’s the future of democratized AI.” Parth Birla, Head of Partnerships at Autonomys

About Masa

Masa is a permissionless, privacy-centric decentralized AI data network and marketplace allowing AI developers to build AI models, apps and agents using high-quality, real-time data. Masa’s global network of 50,000+ node operators are incentivized to scrape, structure and contribute data for AI training, and provide compute for open-source AI requests, and are compensated by developers when they access their data and services.
