About Dbrain

Dbrain is an open blockchain platform to collectively build full-stack AI apps. Dbrain gives access to crowd workforce and data providers for AI developers and businesses, creating a win-win situation for all participants in the AI market.

With Dbrain crowdworkers request simple tasks on image labeling and assessment. After the task is completed correctly and verified, they get paid with cryptocurrency. Anyone with a connected device can label data and make crypto. The platform has the potential to reach 2 billion unbanked people in low-income countries and give them additional income streams in tokens, which are often more stable than local fiat currencies.

Dbrain significantly lowers barriers for developers to creating commercially viable AI products. Companies could reduce data labeling costs by 2-10x compared to, for example, using AMT in the U.S.

After securing $2.5 million in seed funding and joining Microsoft Bizspark program, Dbrain has reached a significant milestone by releasing the alpha version of the platform, including a web application and a Telegram bot.
