{"version":1,"id":"alaya","title":"Alaya","summary":"Alaya is a Web3 AI data infrastructure network that uses distributed communities, incentives and automated labeling to supply data for AI training.","content":"**Alaya** is an open, composable [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) infrastructure project for AI data sampling and automated labeling. It is designed to connect distributed data communities with open AI networks, combining [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain) incentives, human input, and automated data processing for AI training.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ew7cl7acg2)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\n## Overview\n\nAlaya describes its approach as inspired by swarm intelligence: distributed contributors supply data and feedback, while customizable sampling and preprocessing support the creation of training datasets. The platform supports multimodal data and uses human-in-the-loop (HITL) sampling and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) as part of its approach to labeling and data quality.[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ew7cl7acg2)​[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5) The project supports distributed data crowdsourcing and direct peer-to-peer data requests. AI projects can establish custom data-reward pools and pay for tailored requests using their own platform tokens, a model Alaya says is intended to make customized data collection accessible to small and medium-sized AI startups as well as enterprise applications.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\nAlaya presents automated labeling and preprocessing as ways to support AI-data workflows that would otherwise depend on large datasets and manually supplied labels. Its materials describe multimodal datasets as serving varied model-training requirements, including applications involving autonomous systems.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-ew7cl7acg2)​\n\n## Incentives and AGT\n\nAlaya’s incentive system combines custom token rewards and tailored data requests with daily task bonuses and affiliate commissions intended to encourage participation and community growth.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\nThe project also describes tokenizing AI models and using $AGT [staking](https://iq.wiki/wiki/staking) pools to fund model development and fine-tuning. It says staking is intended to reward active contributions to its automated-labeling models and discourage malicious activity and free-riding.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\n## Design Rationale and Applications\n\nAlaya’s stated rationale is that data quality is a critical determinant of AI development and that human feedback can help AI systems form accurate representations of the world. The project characterizes conventional AI and machine-learning training as relying on very large datasets and manually supplied labels, which it describes as slow, costly, and difficult to scale.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\nThe project identifies a need for both general and specialized training data, including data for medical diagnostics, radiology interpretation, and smaller languages and dialects. It also points to underused human expertise and free time as potential sources of data contributions, and to growing demand for Web3-native data platforms alongside concerns about privacy and regulatory risk.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\nAlaya says it combines human feedback, [blockchain](https://iq.wiki/wiki/blockchain), [Web3](https://iq.wiki/wiki/web3) gamification, and preprocessing algorithms to improve data quality and make data monetization more accessible. Its stated mission is to support demand for AI data across Web2 and Web3 markets.[\\[2\\]](#cite-id-fygt79tiz5)​\n\n## Tokenomics\n\nAlaya AI's native token, $AGT, serves as a [utility](https://iq.wiki/wiki/utility-token) and [governance token](https://iq.wiki/wiki/governance-tokens) within its ecosystem. It is used to reward data contributions, support AI model staking, pay for custom data requests and in-platform features, and participate in governance. These functions aim to incentivize community participation in AI data collection and model development.  [\\[6\\]](#cite-id-TMH89hy3Xl59xoSV) \n\nAGT has a maximum and total supply of 5 billion tokens. The allocation includes user rewards (35%), ecosystem fund (10%), team (8%), seed-round investors (8%), private-round investors (8%), marketing (7%), community treasury (6%), airdrops (5%), public sale (5%), liquidity (4%), key opinion leaders (2%), and advisors (2%). Token releases follow different vesting schedules depending on the allocation, with the full vesting period scheduled to end in April 2029.
