Decentralised Data Marketplaces
What is Decentralised Data Marketplaces
Decentralised Data Marketplace (DDM) is an approach to data infrastructure: a globally connected data marketplace that reinforces data ownership and sovereignty while enabling equitable access for AI development and economic growth.
Rather than another data exchange platform, envisions a network of networks- a coordination layer connecting existing data initiatives and encouraging new efforts.
Our core thesis: Data achieves its highest value when governed locally but made discoverable, accessible, and recombinable globally through networked infrastructure.
The thesis addresses critical gaps in today’s data ecosystem across Access, Availability and Architecture.
Why it matters
As AI reshapes economies, who participates in building these systems will determine how breakthrough innovation occurs & whether intelligence serves equity.
Decentralised Data Marketplaces in action
How to Engage
We invite policymakers, technologists, legal experts, and institutions to engage with this framework and help bring it to life through pilots, policy pathways, and interoperable systems.
The future of data and the intelligence built on it depends on collective action that centres agency, sovereignty, and shared global progress.
