Gaia Labs builds Decentralization AI, contributing to Equity Confirmation and compensation infrastructure.

According to Mars Finance, the decentralized AI protocol Gaia Labs was co-founded by CEO Matt Wright and others, aiming to achieve ownership confirmation and automated revenue distribution for data, computing power, and expertise contributors through blockchain technology. Its core mechanism allows contributors such as hospitals and researchers to retain ownership of models and underlying data, and receive ongoing compensation when the models are invoked. The Gaia infrastructure tracks usage on-chain and automatically allocates revenue, without retroactively accounting for past training data, establishing an equity confirmation framework only for future contributors. The CEO stated that the system aims to ensure that actual contributors receive innovative returns, rather than allowing a few companies to monopolize value capture. Wright envisions a fair AI future belonging to all builders, with Gaia's end-to-end computing, identification, and payment tools achieving modular agent development and cost reductions of up to 50% through a distributed network.
