Irys officially launched Brickroad: creating the first native institutional-grade data market.

It is reported that Irys officially launched Brickroad today - the first transparent data marketplace natively built on the Irys network, dedicated to addressing the key pain points of data procurement in the AI era and accelerating the large-scale institutional data on-chain.

In the current rapid iteration of AI, data has become the core resource driving the advancement of models. However, in reality, data procurement still faces many challenges such as cumbersome processes, long cycles, and unclear pricing. High-quality data assets have long been idle, and the liquidity of data is severely lacking, becoming a bottleneck in the AI development chain.

The birth of Brickroad is precisely to address this structural inefficiency problem.

As a key native application in the Irys ecosystem, Brickroad significantly enhances the commodification and trading efficiency of data through standardized and procedural means:

For data providers: Brickroad offers a complete process that includes data packaging, cleaning, labeling, performance verification, and rights management, transforming raw data into tradable standardized products. At the same time, Brickroad supports the tokenization of data revenue, enabling data providers to obtain financing channels without diluting equity or incurring debt.

For data demanders: Brickroad aggregates high-value data resources from linguistic, visual, sensor, and structured domains, accompanied by complete metadata, clear licensing structures, and a unified delivery format, significantly lowering the barriers to data acquisition. Whether it is AI laboratories, financial institutions, or intelligent agents, a data calling experience as simple as "like a prompt" can be achieved.

Every piece of data uploaded will create a long-term storage demand for the Irys network; each transaction will generate ongoing on-chain transaction fee revenue; and each buyer and seller is a part of the growth of the Irys network.

Brickroad is far more than just a data marketplace; it is the core engine driving the growth of Irys.

According to conservative estimates, Brickroad expects to drive over 1 EB (exabyte) of institutional-level data migration to the Irys network over the next three years, continuously enhancing network utilization and the value of native assets.

Brickroad is transforming the biggest structural barrier in the AI industry—the inefficient data procurement process—into the flywheel effect and growth momentum of Irys. Institutions are accelerating their access, and the future of Irys's data is on the way.
