Seed Round in 2018
DIRT Protocol, founded in 2017 and based in the United States, offers a platform for decentralized curation of trusted data sets.

Users can contribute data similarly to a collaborative platform like Wikipedia, but must stake tokens to ensure accountability. This economic incentive fosters a system where incorrect information can be challenged, allowing users to earn tokens for identifying inaccuracies. By organizing information registries, DIRT Protocol aims to maintain high-quality data while making it freely accessible, thereby reducing the prevalence of misinformation.
