Artificial Intelligence
Storage and Sharing of AI training models
As AI models become increasingly central to innovation, concerns over their control, censorship, and integrity have grown. Centralized AI model providers can unilaterally decide which models and responses are permissible, creating concerns around editorial bias and accessibility. Additionally, AI developers need a way to ensure their models remain unchanged and verifiable while being distributed for inference.
DataHaven provides a decentralized, censorship-resistant, and cryptographically verifiable storage solution for AI training models. Its architecture ensures that AI models stored on the network remain unchanged through cryptographic proofs.
Tamper-Proof Storage
DataHaven uses Merkle Tries to index and verify data. Each AI model is broken into hashed segments, forming a Merkle Trie, where the root hash represents the entire model and is stored on-chain.
Storage Providers
- Main Storage Providers (MSPs): Offer performance-optimized storage for AI models with user-defined preferences (e.g., low-latency CDN-backed storage for fast retrieval vs. cost-effective long-term storage).
- Backup Storage Providers (BSPs): Store encrypted replicas and submit Merkle Forest-based proofs to ensure model availability.
Proof of Integrity
AI model creators can verify that the model weights used for inference are identical to those originally uploaded. This ensures that inference is performed using an unaltered, verifiable model.
Federated Learning & Fine-Tuning Verification
DataHaven can store training datasets and update logs to verify that AI fine-tuning is legitimate and prevent adversarial modifications.
Example: A developer distributing an open-source AI model, such as LLaMA, GPT, or Stable Diffusion, uploads model weights to DataHaven, ensuring that downstream users can verify they are using tamper-proof version. Enterprises deploying AI models in regulated industries (e.g., finance, healthcare, defense) can guarantee compliance by proving their models have not been altered.
Verifiable AI-Generated Code & Software Artifacts
AI-generated code is increasingly becoming an essential component of autonomous agents. AI agents can autonomously generate SDKs, API clients, smart contracts, and integration libraries based on structured specifications, such as Swagger/OpenAPI documentation, blockchain smart contract interfaces, or third-party service descriptions. While this automation enhances efficiency, it also introduces significant security risks:
Malicious Code Injection
AI-generated code bypasses traditional peer reviews and is often trusted without human validation, making it a prime target for adversarial modifications.
Difficult Auditing
The sheer volume of machine-generated code makes it harder to manually inspect for vulnerabilities, increasing the risk of introducing exploitable flaws.
Verifiability of Code Provenance
Ensuring that AI-generated code remains unaltered and free from injected vulnerabilities is critical for security-conscious enterprises.
DataHaven addresses this by providing cryptographic storage proofs for AI-generated code artifacts:
On-Chain Code Hashing
AI-generated software artifacts can be stored as hashed files in a Merkle Trie, ensuring that any modifications are detectable.
Versioning & Traceability
Developers can track changes across AI-generated software components, ensuring that deployed code is identical to its verified version.
Tamper-Proof Validation & Testing
AI-generated unit tests, integration scripts, and dependency resolutions can be stored on DataHaven, allowing organizations to verify that a generated component has been validated using its original verification suite.
Example: A self-improving AI agent managing a blockchain protocol autonomously generates a new smart contract module for handling cross-chain transactions. By storing the contract code and verification tests on DataHaven, blockchain validators can cryptographically verify that the deployed contract is identical to its tested version, ensuring trust and security in the network.
Guaranteeing Privacy of AI Agent Data
As AI becomes more prevalent, it increasingly handles sensitive personal and corporate information. Traditional cloud-based AI providers often collect and store user data without transparency, leading to privacy concerns, security breaches, and potential unethical usage.
DataHaven addresses these concerns by enabling end-to-end encrypted AI data storage and fine-grained on-chain access controls via its EVM-compatible execution layer.
Privacy-Preserving AI Storage
AI chat logs, personal preferences, and corporate knowledge bases can be stored fully encrypted at the client level before upload, ensuring that even Storage Providers cannot access the plaintext data.
Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) & Local AI Models
When combined with local LLM inference or TEE-based processing, DataHaven enables fully private AI inference, where user data is never exposed to centralized AI providers.
Smart Contract-Based Access Control
Owners of AI-generated data can set programmable access permissions using EVM-based smart contracts, ensuring verifiable and auditable data sharing.
Example: A personal AI assistant stores encrypted conversation history, financial planning data, and medical records on DataHaven. Users selectively grant access to different AI models without revealing raw data, enabling secure, AI-driven health monitoring, investment tracking, or legal document analysis.
Decentralized Data Marketplaces
As AI levels the playing field in knowledge and automation, data itself becomes the most valuable resource. However, today’s data economy is dominated by large incumbents who extract and monetize user-generated data without fair compensation. DataHaven, with its integrated EVM-compatible smart contract layer, allows individuals and organizations to reclaim ownership of their data, facilitating decentralized data marketplaces where datasets and AI models can be monetized in a transparent and verifiable way.
Data Tokenization & Provenance
AI datasets can be tokenized and traded using on-chain verification, ensuring data integrity and rightful ownership.
AI Agents Trading Data Autonomously
Smart contracts enable AI agents themselves to buy, sell, or license datasets without human intervention.
Fair Compensation for Data Producers
Individuals or businesses can retain control over their datasets, ensuring that value accrues equitably between producers and consumers.
Example: A biotech research company stores rare disease datasets on DataHaven and monetizes them through smart contracts, granting AI startups limited, auditable access while ensuring compliance with ethical and legal constraints.
Data Provenance Tracking
With AI-generated content becoming increasingly prevalent, verifying content authenticity and lineage is crucial. Whether it’s AI-generated text, images, audio, or videos, malicious actors can modify, misattribute, or misuse synthetic content for misinformation or fraudulent purposes.
DataHaven provides an immutable, verifiable storage system that ensures proof-of-origin and proof-of-processing for AI-generated content.
On-Chain Provenance Proofs
Each AI-generated asset is hashed and stored within a Merkle Trie, where its root hash is logged on-chain, creating an immutable proof of its original state.
Tamper-Proof Modification Tracking
Updates to AI-generated content are cryptographically linked to previous versions, ensuring that any modification is auditable.
AI Processing Traceability
Storing intermediate outputs from AI pipelines (e.g., raw AI-generated drafts, preprocessed data, model weights used for generation) ensures that every step in the content creation process is verifiable.
Example: A news agency using AI to generate summaries and images for articles stores verifiable proofs of AI-generated content on DataHaven, ensuring trustworthiness in digital media. Additionally, AI-generated deepfake detection systems could reference stored cryptographic proofs to differentiate between genuine and tampered media.
AI-Governed DAOs & Decentralized Decision-Making
As AI-driven Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) emerge, ensuring tamper-proof governance logs, transparent decision-making, and verifiable resource allocation becomes crucial. AI models making autonomous governance decisions must operate within auditable, decentralized frameworks to maintain trust and prevent manipulation.
DataHaven enables immutable decision logging and governance transparency for AI-driven DAOs:
