AI Runs on Data: How Polkastarter Is Building the Infrastructure for the New Data Economy
Artificial intelligence no longer needs just more GPUs — it needs a data foundation that users can truly own, transfer, and monetize. Polkastarter is developing an AI-native Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain designed to power this new era and unlock the full potential of a user-driven data economy.
Today, the POLS network includes → 47,000+ on-chain holders → Over $500M in circular economic activity → A rapidly expanding institutional ecosystem
Why POLS? A Blockchain Designed for AI Workloads
POLS is built as a Layer 2 tailored for the high-volume, high-speed demands of AI systems. Its scalable architecture and low-cost execution allow data-driven operations to run on-chain efficiently and in real time.
Key Advantages
→ Extremely fast transaction throughput → Cost-efficient infrastructure → Architecture optimized for data-centric applications → Native privacy and security layers for AI
Data Monetization: Unlocking User-Owned Value
AI models depend on data, yet control over that data rarely belongs to the user. POLS changes this dynamic by returning full ownership and enabling users to transform their activity into an income-producing asset.
What Becomes Possible
→ Tokenize digital activity → Mint data as NFTs and monetize them → License data directly to AI models
Data becomes more than information, it becomes capital.
Decentralized AI: Models Running Trustlessly On-Chain
AI applications no longer need centralized execution environments. On POLS, they can operate transparently and securely on-chain.
Capabilities on POLS
→ Deploy AI models directly on-chain → Enable model-to-model and agent-to-agent interactions → Build verifiable and auditable AI execution layers
This forms the foundation for the next generation of autonomous AI systems.
The POLS Ecosystem: DeFAI, POLS VPN and the POLS App
Polkastarter’s integrated product suite creates a seamless environment for AI-native, data-driven applications.
DeFAI — Autonomous AI Agents for Complete Automation
Users can deploy autonomous AI agents capable of: → Managing portfolios → Executing on-chain transactions → Running DeFi trading strategies → Operating in marketplaces autonomously
All actions occur inside a secure, trustless execution layer.
POLS VPN — Built-In Privacy for AI and Humans
POLS VPN introduces a privacy layer engineered specifically for AI-focused workloads.
Highlights include: → Default encryption across all traffic → Metadata and identity protection → Security built directly into the ecosystem → Encrypted communication between AI agents
POLS App — Turn Your Activity Into a Digital Asset
The POLS App enables users to wrap their online activity in privacy and convert it into NFT-based data assets.
Users can: → Mint their activity as NFTs → Sell or license these assets on-chain → Provide structured data to AI models → Retain full ownership and control
Every digital action becomes an asset within the POLS economy.
POLS Token: The Multi-Role Engine of the Ecosystem
The POLS token powers both economic and operational layers across the network.
Staking
Users who stake POLS gain: → Guaranteed IDO allocations → Early access to pools → Priority on new features → Long-term rewards
Governance
Token holders shape the network by voting on: → Protocol upgrades → Ecosystem funding → Branding and structural changes → Development of new products
Utility Within the POLS App
POLS serves as the transaction token for: → Minting data NFTs → Listing assets on the marketplace → Licensing and data trading fees
Gas Across the Ecosystem
Agent execution, sta
king operations, data minting and POLS App interactions all run using POLS as gas.
