Dataline, a decentralized data infrastructure company, has raised $10.6 million in funding to expand a network enabling AI agents to access, verify, and purchase information from third-party data providers. The financing was co-led by Lattice and Samsung-backed Dispersion Capital, with participation from Symbolic Capital.
Additional investors and strategic supporters included Coinbase Ventures, Anagram, a former head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and founders or partners associated with Robinhood, Venmo, Anchorage, New Enterprise Associates, General Catalyst, Jump Capital, and FalconX.
Dataline is building a decentralized marketplace designed to connect autonomous AI agents with data providers through a unified integration.
The platform addresses a challenge facing increasingly autonomous software systems: AI agents require reliable, current, and verifiable information to complete tasks and make decisions.
Its infrastructure allows data providers to publish information feeds while enabling agents to access those feeds through usage-based payments.
The network supports the x402 payment protocol, allowing agents to pay for data requests programmatically.
Dataline also provides AI-generated confidence scores for API responses, evaluating factors such as source reliability, freshness, and consistency.
These scores are intended to help agents identify potentially unreliable information before using it to execute transactions or other automated actions.
The platform also supports custom data requests through a marketplace connecting buyers with providers capable of fulfilling specific information needs.
Participants can post requests offering compensation for data, while providers can submit responses and receive payment.
Dataline uses economic incentives, including token staking and penalties for inaccurate submissions, to encourage reliable information delivery.
An optional zero-knowledge attestation feature enables providers to attach verification evidence to their responses.
The company reports that its network has supported 19.4 million on-chain transactions and achieved a 96.4% agent task success rate.
Its community has grown to more than 300,000 participants worldwide.
Dataline was also selected as a winner of the 2025 BNB Chain AI Hackathon.
Its initial Data Launch cohort includes projects such as Kite, Aerodrome, B3OS, Sentient, Sahara, Hyperliquid, Polymarket, Kalshi, Primus, Cluster, Apro, Base, Robinhood Chain, BNB, Sui, and TON.
As part of the launch, Dataline announced arrangements providing builders on Base and Robinhood Chain with free access to its platform.
The company plans to continue expanding its ecosystem of data providers, blockchain integrations, and autonomous applications.
The financing will support its efforts to establish a standardized infrastructure layer connecting AI agents to commercial data markets.
KEY QUOTES:
“After building AI agents ourselves, we realized that clean and reliable data is the lifeblood of AI. Today’s AI is capable enough to know what data it needs, sometimes better than we do. So we built an open network that not only delivers the most reliable data streams, but also lets AI request help to gather the data it can’t reach on its own.”
Nuo Shi, Co-Founder Of Dataline
