Introducing Talus Network: The AI Smart Agent Hub
AI in the hands of the many, not the few.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is among the most groundbreaking innovations in history. It promises an exciting and abundant future. However, gathering and employing its essential elements—data, models, and computational resources—is beyond the reach of many. AI, like much of web2, is at risk of being controlled by just a few powerful actors. This raises a pivotal question: Is it possible to create a marketplace where individuals can freely exchange data...

Bi-Monthly Recap: 4/19/24
Welcome to the Bi-Monthly Recap! In these posts, we’ll quickly break down everything you need to know from the last few weeks at Talus. First Funding Round Closed at $3M We raised $3 million in our first fundraising round, led by Polychain Capital and joined by dao5, Hash3, TRGC, WAGMI Ventures, and Inception. Angel investors from Nvidia, IBM, Blue7, Symbolic Capital, and Render Network also participated. Learn more. Partnership with Allora We partnered with Allora, a leader in self-improving...

Talus x Allora: Self-Improving AI Smart Agents
We are excited to announce our new collaboration with the Allora Network, working together to build the decentralized ecosystem for self-improving AI agents. This partnership will speed the development of AI agents for a massive range of onchain and offchain use cases. Onchain AI smart agents will shape the future of app development and how we use blockchains. Allora's self-improving intelligence helps our network enable that intersection.How Talus and Allora Fit TogetherThe partnership ...

We are excited to work together with Masa, the leading decentralized AI data network. Talus and Masa will integrate the Masa Data Oracle, allowing developers on Talus to be able to use real-time, structured public web and social for their AI agents.
Talus is creating the AI Smart Agent Hub, where smart agents can live, interact, and transact onchain. Using the Move programming language, developers will be able to easily create highly performant smart agents that can fulfill the most demanding use cases.
In order to train these agents for their desired tasks, developers will need access to large amounts of data that is specific to the tasks. AI agents leverage data to provide specialized, tailored experiences for the end user. This is also essential for reading user behavioral patterns and coming up with useful recommendations on the next course of action.
This data is readily available online, but the problem is that this data is not in a format that is easily digestible and usable by machines. Therefore, the data needs to be curated for agents to digest and make meaningful decisions. This involves several data processing steps:
Data Collection: procuring the data from various sources, such as Twitter and Discord
Data Preparation: Cleaning of the data to mitigate biases and errors
Data Transformation: Converting data into vector embeddings for model training and fine-tuning
This is where Masa comes in. Masa allows users to train hyper-personalized AI models and agents from a variety of data sources, including social data, gated web data, and public search data. The Masa Data Oracle enables real-time data access which is scraped, structured and annotated for immediate use by AI Applications. Developers on Talus can leverage this data infrastructure to build powerful agentic applications.
Here’s how it works:
User on Talus plugs into Masa API to set up a node
User sets up a query for social media data (Twitter followers, likes, etc.)
User feeds that data into models hosted on Talus to train for particular use case
User deploys AI smart agent on Talus with that model
AI Agent performs work based on the data that it was provided
Looking Ahead
Together, Masa and Talus are providing robust data infrastructure for deploying high-utility and specialized AI agents. Data processing will enable developers to access machine-ready data much more efficiently, making it much easier to train and fine-tune AI agents for any use case. This will accelerate the development of more innovative applications within the agentic economy and create meaningful value for end users.
Talus is building the universal execution engine for AI Smart Agents.
We are creating a decentralized protocol where individuals can freely exchange data, models, and computational power to make AI transparent and verifiable. By leveraging the security, performance, and developer experience of Move, Talus is the foundation of the Smart Agent Revolution and a new era of consumer AI.

Masa is a decentralized AI network, where people earn by contributing data. AI developers can build anything, anywhere with the world’s data. Masa is backed by DCG, Anagram, Animoca, and incubated by Binance and Hashkey. Masa was the first AI project debuted on CoinList in 2024, where we had a record-breaking, 17-minute token sale. Join Masa’s mission to create Fair AI, powered by the people.
