DIN

Operating under the legal name Web3Go Technology Pte. Ltd., DIN (Data Intelligence Network) is a Singapore-based company founded in 2021 by Hao Ding and Linmu Cui. The firm officially rebranded from Web3Go to DIN in May 2024, a move intended to align its identity with a sharpened focus on artificial intelligence and data infrastructure, shifting away from the broader 'Web3' moniker.

The company's journey began with providing on-chain data analytics services for various blockchain ecosystems, including Polkadot, Moonbeam, and BNB Chain. A significant milestone was its participation in the Binance Labs Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Incubation Program, which underscored its growing prominence in the space. Financially, DIN has secured a total of $8 million in funding across two key rounds. The initial seed round in July 2023 raised $4 million, led by Binance Labs with participation from HashKey Capital, NGC Ventures, and Shima Capital, among others. A subsequent pre-listing round in August 2024 added another $4 million from investors including Manta Network and Moonbeam Network.

DIN's core business is centered on creating a modular, AI-native data pre-processing layer for the blockchain. The business model is designed to empower users to collect, verify, and process data for AI applications and receive compensation for their contributions. The company targets developers and ecosystems in the AI and crypto sectors, providing the foundational infrastructure for creating decentralized AI applications (dAI-Apps) and AI agents.

The flagship product, xData, is an AI data node infrastructure launched on opBNB in early April 2024. It allows users to collect and label raw data, particularly from off-chain sources like social media, through a gamified browser extension, earning rewards in the process. This system aims to decentralize the data pre-processing pipeline—collection, validation, and vectorization—which is critical for training AI models. Beyond xData, the company's product suite has included Analytix, a Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) platform for on-chain dashboards, and Reiki, a platform for creating AI-powered chatbots without coding.
