Cluster Roundtable: "Who actually owns the data that trained the AI you're using?"

Every model you interact with was trained on something: scraped websites, licensed datasets, maybe even your own content.

But who owns that data, who profits from it, and who gets to decide how it's used? We're breaking it all down.

Cluster Protocol's May 2026 Recap

May was CodeXero's month.

• CodeXero v2 is live on Base, fully onchain, build from your browser, deploy to mainnet, earn XP.
• Tracks launched, always-on mini hackathons open to vibe coders, creators, and literally everyone.
• $2,000 USDC creator campaign to put v2 in front of the world.
• Real apps shipped on it, Fairy Drop (a campaign platform built in a weekend) and AnonWall (an anonymous, immutable notebook built just by chatting with AI).
• Ecosystem partnerships: Cwallet, InsightX, UXLINK.
• Roundtables: Agentic AI, open-source AI, and AI sovereignty.

Ship the product, fund the creators, let the builders prove it.

That was May. Full breakdown: every launch, partnership, and link in one place

Wallet data is no longer just analytics.

It is becoming the intelligence layer behind smarter onboarding, better targeting, stronger user conversion, and revenue-focused Web3 agents.

Join us for an AMA with @ChainAware_ai as we explore:

From Wallet Intelligence to Revenue: The Rise of Web3 Growth Agents

We’ll discuss wallet-aware AI agents, predictive user insights, onchain targeting, and how ChainAware is helping builders turn onchain intelligence into real business outcomes.

Claude Fable 5 is INSANE 🤯

So we asked it to build the perfect private AI infrastructure, where:

→ 500+ open models run behind a single API, not one company's black box
→ An open data marketplace
→ You fine-tune and serve models on decentralized GPU compute
→ Agents pay per call in USDC via x402
→ Every model, dataset, and payment settles on Base

It failed.

Luckily, we've spent years building exactly that.

Private Inference. Data. Compute. Settlement. One private AI infrastructure layer. Cluster Protocol.

Cluster Roundtable #5: “The last mile of DeFi: why intents work better when AI handles the decision layer”

DeFi has powerful rails, but most users still have to make every decision manually.

Where to route liquidity.
Which action to take.
When to execute.
How to avoid a bad trade, bridge, vault, or strategy.

Intents let users express the outcomes they want, while AI handles the decision layer behind the scenes, making DeFi simpler and more efficient.

We’re breaking down why this combination could be the real last-mile unlock for DeFi.

Cluster x ATT

ATT runs the world's first DA-AIOT-P advertising network, tokenized LED screens across HK, SEA, Japan, Korea, and Europe, with onchain settlement and an AIGV model turning physical impressions into commercial intelligence.

Cluster becomes the AI and payment layer underneath it.

Three lanes:

~ Cluster inference powering the AIGV model.
~ x402 server for per-call USDC settlement from edge devices.
~ CodeXero as the on-ramp for ATT's Web2 advertisers shipping campaigns onchain.

All week we have been showing you what Private AI inference looks like in practice.

Tomorrow, you will see who makes it possible.

Cluster Protocol is now Top 5 on Base.

300K+ wallets and 25K+ dApps deployed through CodeXero, now ranked among the most popular apps on the network.

The orchestration layer for autonomous workflows, live where builders already are.

There's never been a better time to Build on Base.

There's a reason you don't paste your bank statements into a chatbot.

Now you don't have to think twice.

Cluster x Phala: private inference on the models you already use, DeepSeek, Qwen, GLM, MiniMax, running sealed inside TEE hardware. Your prompt is invisible to everyone in the path. Including us.

Every call returns a signed attestation, proof your data never left the enclave.

You don't have to take our word for it. The hardware proves it.

Full breakdown ⬇️

Deep dive on verifiable private AI inference.

GLM 5.1 is now live on Cluster Protocol's Private AI inference infrastructure, powered by Phala TEE.

ZhipuAI's most advanced model, running inside a hardware-level Trusted Execution Environment. Enterprise-grade reasoning with hardware-level privacy guarantees.

Your inputs never leave the secure enclave.

Your AI agent just paid for something. you did not approve it.

Cluster roundtable #6: what happens when AI agents start spending money on their own?

Agents with wallets are buying compute, data, and settling transactions with no human in the loop. we put the people building those rails in one room to argue about what breaks and who gets automated.

Will the next billion-dollar product be built by someone who can't code?

Let's find out at our next roundtable session.

We are bringing together builders from across AI, data, and infra to break down what it actually takes to ship something big today.

Don't miss.

Three open protocols are turning isolated AI agents into a working economy: MCP to use tools, A2A to talk, x402 to settle.

Nobody owns the stack.

We broke down why that's the whole point, and where the value actually pools.

Full breakdown here at the Cluster blogs

Calling a model "open source" because you can use it is like calling a car open source because you can drive it.

The real question is whether you can open the hood.

Azibi from DataVLT on what openness at the model layer actually requires.

Qwen3.5 397B-A17B is now live on Cluster Protocol's Private AI inference infrastructure, powered by Phala TEE.

397 billion parameters. Running privately inside a hardware-level Trusted Execution Environment.

The largest model available on Cluster Protocol's Private AI infrastructure, for teams that need maximum capability without sacrificing data privacy.

Cluster x @MindNetwork_xyz

Every payment an AI agent makes through an open standard is public by default. Sender, receiver, token, amount, permanently onchain.

Fine for a hobby agent. A non-starter for a business running agents at scale.

Mind Network is fixing that with Cluster.

Cluster's agents already pay per call through x402.

Mind Network's x402z wraps that same payment in confidentiality: it still settles and stays verifiable, but the sender, receiver, and amount are encrypted.

Full picture at Cluster Blogs.

Built on Cluster. Funded through x402. Private through x402z.

Cluster x NeoSoul

NeoSoul runs the credibility layer for the agent-to-agent economy: an agent school, a skill market, and an agent capital market that test AI judgments against settled real-world outcomes and turn them into computable reputation.

Cluster becomes the build, payment, and data layer underneath it.

An agent built on CodeXero carries a NeoSoul track record from the moment it deploys. It pays its own way through x402, and NeoSoul scores it creditworthy for every call it settles.

The reputation it earns becomes a tradable data class on Cluster's marketplace.

Read at Cluster Blogs on how the pieces connect.

Who owns the oil of AI?

Everyone talks about AI models.

Fewer people talk about where the data lives, who controls access to it, and whether it survives long enough to matter.

Be ready for Founder’s Cut by YJ, Chief, Cluster Protocol as he sits down with Nandit Mehra, Founder, Lighthouse to discuss all of it.

Two lives of crypto: the one people trade, and the one people actually use.
