Pundi AI teams up with Okratech: Making human labor a verifiable on-chain asset for AI

Pundi AI collaborates with Okratech to create a decentralized work economy through OrtJob and the Web3 app store, eliminating intermediaries and directly connecting creators and freelancers. Future manual labeling and data verification work will be transformed into on-chain verifiable data, with participants rewarded, promoting an open and fair AI ecosystem, and exploring new modes of collaboration between humans and AI.

【Blockchain Rhythms】On January 23rd, an interesting collaboration was announced—Pundi AI partnered with Okratech to combine the OrtJob decentralized freelancing ecosystem with Pundi AI’s data infrastructure.

In simple terms, what are these two doing? Okratech aims to create an on-chain work economy through OrtJob and the Web3 application store. They want to eliminate intermediaries, allowing creators and freelancers to connect directly. It sounds like a decentralized, borderless work mechanism.

The key change is this: tasks like manual tagging and data verification will be structured into on-chain data for AI systems to learn from. Pundi AI’s data platform converts these tasks into verifiable datasets, rewarding participants and providing developers with high-quality, transparent data.

Another detail—Okratech’s Web3 application store will distribute Pundi AI’s dataset tokens. This makes obtaining AI data as easy as downloading an app.

The joint goal of both companies is quite clear: by connecting human labor with decentralized AI infrastructure, they aim to promote a more open, fair, and human-centric AI ecosystem. From another perspective, this is an exploration of a new collaborative model between humans and AI.

On-chain labor data? The nice way to put it is innovation; the less nice way is just treating people as data factories, a new trick to exploit users. It's another "eliminate intermediaries" story, but when it comes to actual use, we're still getting cut. This logic is quite interesting—if data can verify human effort, then what about contract vulnerabilities? Who's going to take the blame this time? On-chain work economy sounds good, but I'm just worried it's another hype, with few people actually using it. Reward workers with tokens? So we're basically working and mining at the same time, the new era of "free labor."

This logic is quite interesting. The manually annotated work has been put on the blockchain. Will annotation workers be able to receive tokens directly in the future? Saving the middlemen's profit margin.

Damn, it's the same old trick of tokenizing labor, now it's replaced with AI verification. Feels like all those previous projects were hyped up the same way.

nah this is just another "tokenize labor" narrative they're pushing... data validation work on-chain? sounds like they're farming cheap clicks while building their moat. who's actually verifying the verifiers here lol

The idea of putting the workforce on the blockchain feels like another story that sounds great but is difficult to implement in practice. Can manual data annotation make money? It seems similar to those crowdsourcing tasks before, ultimately benefiting the big capital players. But on the other hand, if it were truly transparent and verifiable, it would be a bit better than some platforms operating as black boxes.

Here comes the next round of pulling the wool over people's eyes. Haven't we seen this trick before? Can you really make money just by manually tagging on the chain? It sounds suspicious to me. The on-chain work economy still depends on whether the token can be dumped. Data verification sounds fancy, but in reality, it's just crowdsourced labeling. How high can the wages really go? Feels like another PPT project. Let's wait and see if it can survive the next bear market before judging. If this kind of thing could really eliminate intermediaries, someone would have done it already. Why are they only coming now?
