Data Infrastructure Innovation
Innovation Labs R&D developing next‑generation data infrastructure that enables fair participation, user‑owned data, and seamless ecosystem integration. Foundational research powering Detroit's 2026 urban pilots with path to $50B+ market opportunity.
Market Opportunity & Investment Thesis
Current data infrastructure concentrates value with cloud providers while users create the data. Our Labs research addresses fundamental inequities in data ownership, participation rewards, and infrastructure costs—unlocking massive market opportunities.
Cloud Infrastructure Disruption
$200B+ annual cloud market built on centralized hosting and user data monetization. Our decentralized model redirects revenue to users and local hardware operators.
Data Rights & Privacy
$100B+ data broker market monetizing user information without consent. Research enables direct user monetization with cryptographic ownership and consent controls.
Integration & API Economy
$50B+ API management market fragmented across providers. Universal standard eliminates manual integration costs and enables seamless data flows.
Innovation Labs Research Areas
Fair Participation Systems
Developing consensus mechanisms where all participants earn rewards based on contribution, not wealth or computational power. Eliminates winner‑take‑all dynamics in network economics.
User Data Sovereignty
Cryptographic frameworks for true data ownership where users control access, monetization, and sharing. Enables direct user‑to‑business data transactions with consent enforcement.
Universal Integration Layer
Single API standard connecting all applications and data sources. Eliminates manual integration work while maintaining user control and business efficiency.
Decentralized Hosting
Community hardware networks replacing cloud dependency. Enables local resource monetization while reducing application hosting costs for developers and businesses.
AI‑Driven Personalization
Adaptive interfaces that customize user experiences without compromising privacy. Enables personalized frontends while maintaining backend standardization.
Zero‑Liability Business Models
Infrastructure enabling businesses to access user data without storage liability. Reduces compliance costs while maintaining full functionality and user trust.
Revenue Model & Commercialization
Labs research enables multiple revenue streams across the ecosystem. User participation rewards, infrastructure monetization, data transaction fees, and enterprise integration services create diversified income sources.
