Reppo Foundation receives a $20 million funding commitment to use prediction markets to solve training data bottleneck issues

BlockBeats News, April 23 — Reppo Foundation announced it has secured a $20 million strategic funding commitment from Bolts Capital to advance protocol development and ecosystem expansion, with a focus on supporting AI training data infrastructure centered on prediction markets.

Reppo stated that its core philosophy is to transform human judgment into verifiable, incentivized data sources through prediction market mechanisms, addressing the current challenge of obtaining high-quality data for AI training. The project builds a decentralized data network (Datanets) that supports multimodal data processing such as text, images, audio, and video, providing support for model training, evaluation, and fine-tuning.

Reppo Labs co-founder RG pointed out that the prediction market size is expected to reach a $1 trillion annual trading volume by the end of this decade, having expanded from sports and event markets to information and opinion markets. Over the past month, the platform’s trading volume has exceeded $2 million, validating the feasibility of its model. The project also proposes using crypto-economic incentives to enable AI agents and robots to pay humans directly for opinions and feedback, reducing reliance on centralized data providers. Currently, Reppo has received support from institutions including Protocol Labs and CMS Holdings.
