MarkerDAO

MarkerDAO is a decentralized crowdsourcing marketplace focusing on AI data annotations. In general, training AI models requires large datasets from labor-intensive manual annotations. Nowadays, AI researchers still rely on services provided by centralized platforms such as ScaleAI and MTurk. However, in the Web3 era, MarkerDAO leverages blockchain technology to deliver a trustless, permissionless and cross-border labor market being strategically incentivized by crypto economics and having instant cross-nation payment settlements. These features significantly reduce cost of dataset annotations for AI companies and increase in earnings for data annotators. The team members include CAE members, IEEE Fellows, and professors/PhDs from top universities including Stanford, HKU, and CUHK. The core team has rich expertises in the AI and blockchain fields.
