Company profile
researched Aug 2026Datai Network is a peer-to-peer, decentralized blockchain data platform that indexes multiple chains and answers external queries through a distributed set of nodes. Nodes in the network collectively store information such as node identities and roles, projection deployment details and active account states. The platform aggregates raw on-chain data, applies in-house machine learning to identify, label and categorize smart contracts, and exposes the resulting structured data through APIs and developer tools.
The architecture is described in three layers. A data sourcing layer forms the indexing backbone, where node operators run indexer nodes and developers contribute protocol and dApp integrations. A data refining layer processes indexed data into the Datai LLM and applies ML analytics and AI models to clean and classify smart contracts. An application layer hosts customer-facing and internal applications including compliance and AML tools, financial data apps and user behavior analysis. Coverage spans DeFi, NFTs, real-world assets and GameFi verticals.
Participants can engage in three roles: developers who build data projections and can apply to grant programs; node providers who run pre-packaged indexer or gateway nodes using an open-source framework; and data consumers who submit on-chain data requests or use the available applications. Gateway nodes match user requests to indexer nodes hosting the relevant projections.
Business model
Datai operates a network model in which third parties contribute supply (developers building projections, node operators running indexer and gateway nodes) and data consumers pay for access. The $DATAI token is used to pay for data requests and premium analytics and data tools, is earned by contributing data or running nodes, and can be staked for governance and network rewards.
Token-denominated payment for network data requests and access to premium analytics and data tools, alongside API access for applications.
Traction
The company reports 2.5 million smart contracts labeled, 12 million API requests per month, 3.5 billion on-chain transactions indexed, 3,000 protocols covered and 150 million DeFi events indexed. Documentation cites over 2,000 decentralized protocol projections available for data access, and customer testimonials come from crypto analytics and accounting-focused users.
Latest developments
Datai launched its testnet (version 0.0.1), accompanied by developer documentation covering projection development, node operation and staking; indexer and gateway node operation is marked as forthcoming. Public repositories include a projections SDK for the Datai Projection Network on BNB Chain (updated October 2025), an MCP server for the Datai API (June 2025) and an elizaOS plugin (May 2025).
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market
Market position
Positions itself as a decentralized alternative to basic on-chain data feeds, emphasizing enrichment and classification of raw blockchain data for AI consumption rather than raw data delivery.
Combines decentralized indexing with proprietary machine-learning enrichment that labels and categorizes smart contracts, aiming for broader vertical coverage (DeFi, NFTs, RWA, GameFi) and network-based validation of data accuracy rather than a single centralized feed.
Technology
Modular three-layer architecture combining a decentralized indexer layer, an ML/AI refining layer built around the Datai LLM and machine-learning classification of smart contracts, and an application layer. The network currently supports EVM-based active positions projections. Public tooling includes a projections SDK for building, testing and deploying projections on the Datai Projection Network on BNB Chain, an MCP server for the Datai API, and an elizaOS plugin providing access to wallet balances, transaction history, DeFi positions and NFT collections across multiple chains.
Go-to-market
Distribution is developer-led: public documentation, an open-source node framework and projections SDK, grant programs for developers, and integrations such as an MCP server and an elizaOS plugin. Direct API access is offered to application builders and enterprises.
Developers building data projections and AI applications, node operators, dApps, wallet providers, AI agent builders, and data consumers such as crypto-asset analytics platforms and accounting firms working with digital assets.
