For Data Sellers

Portex welcomes a diverse spectrum of data contributors—from individuals and academic researchers to startups, established enterprise data providers, and, in the long run, even AI agents autonomously generating their own datasets. Our marketplace is designed to seamlessly accommodate this broad range of sellers, empowering them to engage in price discovery and monetize valuable data products in a secure and transparent way.

In the age of AI, we envision that many companies may seek additional revenue streams by listing data they already collect. For instance, a consumer-facing company could reward its users for contributing anonymized or aggregated usage metrics, layering an additional incentive structure for their users. This approach helps align user incentives with broader market demand, giving them upside by simply using a product. For these emerging data sellers, data can provide an opporutnity to gain exposure to crypto assets in their balance sheets, either by receiving stablecoins as payment or diversifying into other digital assets.

Throughout the design of our marketplace, we have emphasized flexibility in the process of data commercialization. Sellers can specify a range of conditions for accessing and licensing their data via our Data Vaults — whether it be on licensing, commercial terms, or purchasing configurations that may require user identification. They similarly control the commercial terms governing how much data is offered, how it is priced (auction, subscription, or one-time sales), and which verification layers (fingerprinting, TEEs, etc.) safeguard the dataset. By combining these tactical choices with the broader framework of Data Vaults, DataDAOs, and onchain settlement, Portex ensures that sellers retain granular control over the entire data commercialization process.
