What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Sui Foundation announced an investment of $30 million in Data Foundation, the AI training data protocol formerly known as Story Protocol. Data Foundation will retire its Layer 1 and run natively on Sui. Additionally, TRACE, a registry that logs the origin and licensing rights of training data, is integrating into Sui's network infrastructure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The integration allows Data Foundation to avoid the costs associated with running its own blockchain infrastructure, such as network security and validator maintenance. Walrus, a decentralized storage platform built alongside Sui, will become the default storage layer for applications operated by Data Foundation.
