DAIN is the next-generation artificial intelligence platform, a decentralized and geo-dispersed public computing network governed through blockchain and specialized in addressing and solving artificial intelligence problems
DAIN enables the efficient utilization of computing resources from any device located anywhere in the world, without intermediaries, to solve complex computational AI problems. It rewards hardware owners and composes an AI marketplace where companies with the same needs can provide or discover solutions together.
Just as electricity and the internet transformed everything, AI and blockchain will disrupt every industry in the next few years.
To spearhead this transformation, we are building DAIN.
How is DAIN comparable to a huge brain?
Any user can teach the brain how to perform certain tasks and subsequently ask for these tasks to be executed. Likewise, another user can ask for the same tasks to be executed, as long as the first user has instructed the brain to allow others to access this knowledge.
The brain will remember all the tasks it learns and continuously improve its performance of them. Eventually, it could perform any number of tasks simultaneously, with the sole limitation of its size. The brain has the potential for unlimited growth by adding more computing devices. Like a natural brain, it must consume energy to perform any task. In this case, the energy is the reward given to the device owners.
Despite its great impact on society and enormous demand, AI and its needs are difficult to understand. Businesses and professionals are not prepared for its large-scale exploitation. These circumstances especially affect the most traditional companies, which are at a disadvantage amid disruptive transformation. To ensure the fair, cheap and agile integration of AI in society, benefiting both companies and their customers, specific tools are needed that address these entry barriers.

Or biases can be introduced by model creators when the created models reproduce representations of reality that do not match their ideological interests. Unaudited AI services increase these problems. It is necessary to give companies the opportunity to choose the most neutral and impartial solutions and avoid vendor lock-in.

Today’s data processing centers consume around 3% of the energy produced by humans, and the power consumption of bitcoin mining already surpasses that of Switzerland. It is not necessary to manufacture more dedicated hardware to cover the technical needs of both technologies. To ensure sustainability, we need to better utilize the resources we already have in a more efficient way.

You can sell your unused computing power from any kind of device or equipment, anytime, anywhere.
Create artificial intelligence models through your data or with third-party data and sell these models to generate new revenue streams
Apply existing AI solutions on demand with no limitations on computing capacity, knowledge or data
DAIN gathers the lessons learned over the past decade and brings together the most cutting-edge technologies to offer a solution to existing problems.
By using spare computing power, it eliminates the initial hardware investment from the IaaS cost equation. As it is a dispersed network, it does not need to cover cooling costs.
DAIN has a marketplace of AI models created by ecosystem users, allowing companies to share solutions and harness the potential of existing knowhow.
DAIN is smart. DAIN can adapt to congestion and learn from the activity of its nodes to understand their motivations, preventing honest users from wasting their computing resources or paying transaction fees.
The absence of fees and the distributed computing model of DAIN allow very low capacity devices to be part of the network. This technology will leverage 5G connectivity and the wide heterogeneity of devices connected to the internet.
No expert knowledge is required to take advantage of its benefits. By using AI to design AI, non-tech citizens are enabled to start participating in the AI revolution.
Designed to put the power of a myriad of devices at the disposal of AI. Access computer resources easily, economically, elastically and on demand.
Thanks to the latest and most innovative cryptographic techniques, all data and published solutions are completely confidential, even when shared among users.
Thanks to the properties and nature of AI algorithms, all delivered solutions are certified by an automatic machine-to-machine process.
Telefónica, through its cyber security company ElevenPaths, has reached an agreement with DainWare where its express its interest and support to DainWare and its blockchain governed AI platform. In addition, Telefonica Group is now "in the process of evaluating these technologies as part of its cybersecurity products and services".
Bankia Fintech selects DAIN for its acceleration program. Bankia Fintech selects DainWare and its project DAIN for its acceleration program among more than 170 other project applications from 26 countries. The fifth edition of Bankia Fintech by Insomnia is positioned as a leading program in innovation throughout Europe, with a record participation in the last edition that had a 38% increase over its previous call.
