Datai Network 

What is Datai Network token?

Datai Network is a decentralized, omni-chain data layer that gives AI agents and analytics platforms AI-ready access to on-chain data. The protocol aggregates, indexes, and enriches raw blockchain data with proprietary AI and machine learning models across DeFi, NFT, and RWA verticals. Datai Network delivers the processed output through a DATAI API, an MCP server for AI agents, and Crunchie, an AI DeFi-intelligence agent. Datai Network launched its token on BNB Chain.

How does Datai Network work?

Datai Network indexes raw blockchain data through a peer-to-peer network of community-run Indexer and Gateway nodes. Developers build data projections on top of the indexing layer. Project documentation claims more than 2,000 protocol projections. Datai Network serves the processed data through a DATAI API, an MCP server for AI agents, and an elizaOS plugin. The project began as a centralized data provider called Merlin before adopting the decentralized node architecture.

When does DATAI start trading and where will it list?

The DATAI token generation event is scheduled for October 22, 2026. The announced launch venue is PancakeSwap, with a DATAI/USDT pair on BNB Chain and liquidity locked at launch per the project. No centralized exchange listings are announced. DATAI is DEX-only at launch, which implies thin liquidity and wide spreads until additional venues list. A counterfeit DATAI token already exists on aggregators, so contract verification is essential before interacting.

How did the DATAI airdrop and DATUM points campaign work?

The DATUM points campaign ran in two phases: Phase 1 via the Crunchie AI agent and Phase 2 via the BNB Wallet Score. Of 84,179 wallets, 942 qualified after quest, social-link, and sybil filters. The sybil filter removed 5,828 wallets, with a cut-off of 1,650 DATUM. The airdrop distributed 400,000 DATAI on BNB Chain, proportional to the square root of DATUM, yielding 397 to 865 DATAI per wallet. Claims used a Sablier Airdrops campaign; unclaimed tokens returned to the Datai Network treasury on November 23, 2026.

What is DATAI's total supply and tokenomics?

DATAI has a fixed total and maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. Datai Network states the token has no mint function, no tax, and no blacklist. Stated utility covers earning through node operation and data contribution, access to premium analytics, and staking for governance and network rewards. An official allocation table has not been published in an accessible primary document. Secondary aggregator figures, including roughly 35% insider allocation across seed and team buckets, remain unverified pending official disclosure.

Does DATAI have a public token vesting schedule?

No public vesting schedule exists for DATAI ahead of the October 22, 2026 token generation event. Cliff and linear terms for the seed, team, and treasury buckets are not publicly disclosed. The absence of a published vesting schedule means unlock-driven sell pressure from insider allocations cannot be assessed ahead of time. With a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 DATAI and no mint function, structural inflation beyond the initial distribution is capped at zero.

Who are the Datai Network investors and backers?

Per DropsTab data, Datai Network's funding round was announced on December 11, 2024, with ChainGPT Labs as lead investor alongside Shima Capital, FBG Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Blizzard (the Avalanche ecosystem fund), and Metavallon. The round amount is not publicly disclosed in a primary source. ChainGPT Labs also incubates Datai Network, and Datai Network graduated from BNB Chain's MVB9 accelerator program. Reports of an IDO through ChainGPT Pad remain unconfirmed by primary documentation.

Did Sui Foundation invest $30 million in Datai Network?

No. The $30,000,000 Sui Foundation investment announced in October 2026 went to DATA Network, a separate project. The cited source for that round describes DATA Network, not Datai Network. Datai Network has no disclosed Sui Foundation funding. The two projects share a similar name, which drives recurring confusion in search results and on aggregators.
