Toss Brings 30 Million Users Into the AI Data Economy in Partnership With Poseidon
Poseidon, a data infrastructure company for AI, has partnered with South Korean mobile financial platform Toss (operated by Viva Republica) to integrate its contributor app, Numo, into the Toss app. This partnership allows Toss's approximately 30 million users to contribute real-world voice, image, and video data for AI training and receive direct payment for their contributions. The initiative addresses the AI industry's growing need for high-quality, first-person data not available on the open web, crucial for developing physical intelligence in robotics and autonomous vehicles.
Poseidon's infrastructure tracks each contribution's value, while Toss handles user payments. Contributions are registered on the DATA network, which provides verifiable provenance via its Trace audit layer. The partners aim to prove this user-compensated data model in South Korea—a market with dense real-life data and advanced mobile finance—before expanding globally. Poseidon recently raised a $15 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz.
