1 billion data records on-chain, AI labs have to pay for data, which is good for creators, but not sure if the gas fees can handle it.

Coin World News: Story Protocol has announced a rebranding to "Data Foundation," transforming into a project focused on AI training data infrastructure. The layer-1 blockchain project will build systems to acquire, verify, license, and pay for data used to train AI models. Under the new name, the Story network will track over 1 billion data records, aiming to become the trust layer for all AI training data. Despite the crypto market facing pressure, Story's new data token rose 16.7% after the rebranding, reaching $0.35. The company stated that the new Data Foundation will focus on data that AI labs cannot easily scrape from the open internet, and has launched Trace, an on-chain registration system for tracking the provenance and licensing of AI training data.
