The infrastructure for AI is evolving beyond just computational power. What's increasingly critical is access to quality, user-owned data.

Polkastarter has identified this gap and is developing an AI-native Ethereum Layer 2 specifically architected for the emerging data economy. The platform enables users to retain ownership of their data while simultaneously monetizing it and deploying it transparently on-chain. This represents a fundamental shift—moving from centralized data silos to a model where individuals capture value from their own information.

The early traction is notable:
• 47,000+ community holders
• $500M+ in economic activity generated
• Native support for AI models, autonomous agents, and data deployment

This positioning addresses a real market need: as AI systems demand more data, users want sovereignty over their digital assets rather than surrendering them to platforms.

Data ownership is the key, and finally someone is taking this seriously.

Data sovereignty is indeed the breakthrough, but the number of 47,000 community holders... seems a bit inflated. --- 500M in economic activity sounds impressive, but how many real, committed users are there? --- Finally, someone is seriously working on data ownership. Compared to those just hyping concepts, this is more reliable. --- Layer 2 again, layer 2. Is the severe fragmentation of the ecosystem really a good thing? --- Instead of saying "data economy," it's more like being exploited by tech giants for too long; users are just resisting. --- How to verify autonomous agents? Promises like these are most likely to end in failure. --- It's a good point, but how far can real implementation go? That's the real key, everyone.

Data ownership is indeed a pain point, but whether 470,000 holders can truly utilize it remains two different opinions.
