Kled has registered over 15 million file records on the Trace Audit Portal in just a few days. Four multi billion dollar frontier AI labs have already begun using Trace to verify the integrity and provenance of Kled's data before making purchases. This is only the beginning. The Data Foundation will continue expanding the system until every file on Kled is fully auditable on chain. Live here:

Kled is now, for the first time, officially charting in the top 200 finance apps in the United States. We are also in the top 100 finance apps in 60 other countries simultaneously right now.

Kled has officially crossed 10 million views per week across TikTok, Instagram, and more. Directly from users. Our app has consistently remained top 100 in 20+ countries and top 10-20 in countries like Indonesia. Our iPhone market share will soon be supplemented by our new Android app release which just did over 5,000 pre registrations in less than an hour.

Kled is coming to android. Pre-registration live today on the Google Play Store: The most requested addition to the company since we launched the app a few months ago. This update should greatly increase Kled’s market share and will be followed with a Web / PC release as well.

We've received an $8 million request for anonymized financial data. Credit card reports, tax returns, w9 forms and other personal financial documents. Users will be able to upload and get paid for these documents at their discretion directly in the Kled app. Fully anonymized with 0 personal data leaked. Expected pay is up to $50-$150 per form. Live with our V3 update, currently being fulfilled through a network of specialized accountants with the proper legal clearance. On another note over the next 3 days another $500,000 of $KLED will be purchased.

We’ve started and are continuing to buy back over $1 million of $KLED in the last 48 hours. $KLED will ultimately become a fully viable reward currency for our data marketplace and human in the loop fraud detection tools we have built. As our contracts get bigger and bigger we will continue to support our token community accordingly and to our discretion.

We are beyond excited to announce that Yash Sahay who served as the Director of Engineering at Meta Superintelligence Labs has joined Kled as an investor. Yash will play a pivotal role in helping guide our data quality pipeline to match the needs of all the major frontier models and labs as we continue to increase the size of our data contracts.

Kled has just signed a $12 million non-exclusive data deal over the next 2 years making the marketplace officially profitable. We’re now heavily expanding our team to bring Kled to android, support every global currency / payment method, increase our daily uploads and registrations on Trace by 2x in 1 month, and roll out our next fraud detection model for better data quality. We want the best engineers in the world. All open careers can be found here:

The Data Foundation has invested $3 million into Kled, bringing our total funding to now $14 million. We’ve been extremely selective with our investors and have only taken strategic capital. The foundation will be joining some of the top venture funds and angels who have all backed Kled as the world’s leading human data marketplace. Kled is on track to do over 5 billion user uploads and have over 2 million daily active data contributors this year. Onwards and upwards.

Kled the leading human data marketplace has officially partnered with The DATA Foundation to onboard over 1.5 billion user records on chain. We've spent the last 3 months working directly with some of the leading foundation models and labs. The single biggest point of discussion was trust. Labs have 0 room for error and consumer data is the single largest but also most sensitive data type on the planet. Labs need two things before confidently purchasing a dataset. 1. A clean audit record: end-to-end receipts, consent forms, and proof of payment. They need to fully trust that data uploaded on the marketplace can confidently be licensed without consumers introducing risk into training pipelines. 2. Full confidence that the data on our marketplace is original. Not pirated, not AI generated. They need to fully trust that data uploaded is real human unaltered content that can significantly enhance a training pipeline. We've been hugely against 99% of all blockchain offerings that have come our way, but things aligned way too well here and we found a unique opportunity to build something great. Kled will be moving its full audit rails onto DATA Network, backed by a16z crypto, Polychain, and other top VCs. The instant a user uploads data to our platform we create an anonymized receipt that is automatically sent to the TRACE (demo video, live links, and more in the post below). The content hash ID, signed consent forms, full payment record, and end-to-end timestamps. Any AI lab can now verify the legitimacy of any dataset in seconds, making us the first data marketplace in history to publicize its data audit records. Consumer identities are fully anonymized and hidden, no users will be exposed in the process. To add to this Kled will also be supporting USDC payouts on DATA Network. This will be alongside other stablecoin options rolling out with our existing fiat payouts. All of this will be fully auditable on DATA Network as well. Lastly Kled and The DATA Foundation will be pooling its efforts to create the world’s best fraud detection protocol. We will be allocating the majority of our time/resources towards creating this, labs need to trust our data and the creation of AGI will be a function of this trust. I'm also joining The DATA Foundation with a Part Time Advisor Role as the Chief Data Officer, where I’ll be advising the foundation team to make sure the Trace audit product reflects what AI labs actually need to license data with confidence. The DATA Foundation's audit / licensing rails and Kled's data marketplace are complimentary in nature, labs need both. Kled is the largest contributor to that audit layer so we have the most skin in the game to get this product right. Every effort described here will create a safer future for consumers and labs. We are here to set the gold standard for trust and nothing will stray us away from this goal. Onward.

Introducing Kled-FD 0.1, the world's best fraud detection and dataset cleaning pipeline. The first all in one system capable of detecting AI generated content, near duplicates, stolen and plagiarized media, screenshots, manipulated and spliced content, NSFW and explicit material, minors and age sensitive content, sensitive and harmful content, and coordinated behavioral fraud rings. Kled-FD 0.1 has been battle tested across 1.2 billion uploads on Kled's data marketplace and is actively running quality checks on over 5 million uploads per day across image, video, audio, and text. Public benchmarks will be released soon. This is the first real step toward making data quality enforcement a humanless process.

LazarBeam has just invested into Kled. 23 million subscribers, one of the biggest YouTubers of all time, and someone I personally watched relentlessly growing up. Welcome to the cap table Lannan. He will be joining, Diplo, PandaBoi, 24kGolden, and all the other creatives who have angel invested in Kled. Proud to have you join us.

Kled is partnering with Vanta and Workstreet to build automated SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance infrastructure for our marketplace. Most data marketplaces stop at SOC 2. We are implementing all four major compliance frameworks, the highest level of compliance infrastructure reasonably available to a company at our stage. This means Kled can fully process, package, and process any type of user data: safely, consensually, and at scale. The leading AI labs and enterprise customers don't just want good data. They want data they can stake their models and products on. Enterprise contracts and institutional buyers require this infrastructure before serious conversations can happen. We're building it now so it's never the reason a deal doesn't close in the future. The data marketplace that wins long term is the one labs and enterprises trust most.

Kled has has 4 record user signup days in a row. We've offically ranked top 100 in the app store in over 82 countries. The United States constitutes our second most downloaded region where we almost crossed the top 100 on the app store finance charts (rank 162). Our overall fraud rate has fallen to a below 13% average, across 1 billion uploads. We have purged and deleted all 68 million uploads from Nigerian users (this data was never sent to any AI labs or entities and Nigerian users keep their payouts). Our support ticket volume has dropped 34% thanks to in-app improvements, even as our user base has scaled significantly. Our app reviews have remained and climbed to a 4.9 star ranking in new developing regions like Indonesia. With an overall 4.6 star ranking across thousands of reviews. Over 60% of new signups are coming from direct referrals, users bringing in users. Our average user completes their first upload within 2 minutes of creating an account.
