Road Town, British Virgin Islands – Q1, 2025: The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence has been built on a foundation of unchecked data exploitation. Tech giants like Meta and OpenAI have amassed fortunes by scraping vast troves of copyrighted material, fueling an AI boom that has largely ignored the rights of data creators. OpenAI’s GPT-3 was trained on “hundreds of billions of words”, harvested by exploited Kenyan workers from the public internet without consent. Meta is also facing lawsuits for allegedly feeding pirated books into its AI systems.
Amidst this ethical crisis a revolutionary alternative has emerged: Data Guardians Network (D-GN – pronounced Dee-Gen), a decentralized blockchain platform designed to return control and financial benefit to data creators. Founded solely by Duck Punk, the pseudonymous hacker-artist symbolically regarded as the Satoshi Nakamoto of D-GN, the network embodies pure decentralization. Duck Punk’s vision ensures no single individual has total control, thriving only through ubiquitous community governance and participation.
Built on Binance Smart Chain (BNB), the decentralized platform empowers users worldwide to ethically and transparently train AI while earning a stable digital currency (USDT). Its Swipe2Earn and Speak2Earn models will enable participants to annotate data and refine AI systems in exchange for instant rewards. This shift marks a fundamental departure from Big Tech’s exploitative practices, offering a sustainable alternative where contributors are fairly compensated for their labor.
D-GN’s beta phase made a remarkable impact on droppGroup’s AI training data in Q3 of 2024.. It significantly enhanced the quality, effectiveness and most importantly the efficacy of data used for droppGroup’s widely adopted AI models aMiGo and aMiGA, which serve prestigious clients including governments and global corporations like Saudi Aramco and Cisco. Enterprises partnering with D-GN gain access to ethically sourced, human-validated datasets achieving 98-99% accuracy, significantly surpassing industry standards. Blockchain verification also ensures complete transparency, slashing AI training costs by up to 60-80%.
CEO Johanna Rose Cabildo highlights the mission clearly: “D-GN is building the first truly decentralized annotation network, one where your digital footprint is yours to control and monetize directly. We’re replacing exploitation by centralized AI giants with a fair and sustainable economy, which in the future will be powered by billions of Guardians earning a stable income in USDT and empowered by our $DGN token. This is the future of ethical AI – built by the people, for the people…“
Swipe2Earn allows users to tag images, pinpointing brands or objects, to refine AI systems, collecting instant USDT and points with each swipe. Speak2Earn ups the ante, as contributors record scripts and sync lip movements to enhance next-gen avatars and voice tech, piling up more rewards. For now, D-GN Points stack alongside USDT, set for conversion to the forthcoming $DGN token later this year, a utility token that is key to amplifying earnings, accessing premium tasks and gaining governance rights in a vibrant community ecosystem. This is tech flipped into a force for empowerment.
In Q3 2025, D-GN will expand into a seamless Telegram mini app, unlocking access to an ecosystem of over 900 million global users, dramatically increasing worldwide adoption. Spaces are limited, those seeking to reclaim control over their data are urged to join now.
As the AI industry grapples with calls for regulation and ethical reform, D-GN presents a viable, community-driven alternative, one where data sovereignty, financial inclusion and transparency define the future of artificial intelligence.
D-GN isn’t just a platform – it’s a movement. The AI revolution is here and this time, it belongs to the people.
