Nuklai, DSID, & Shade Partnerships, Origin of vAI, Paris Blockchain Week, and more…??????
????Enhance Credibility to Nuklai Datasets????
We partnered with Nuklai to add a layer of credibility to datasets on their smart data ecosystem. With this partnership, data contributors will have the option to include verified credentials to data, meaning that Nuklai datasets will have the option of having a ‘credibility score’ based on the trustworthiness of their data sources. Now, with cheqd, anyone will be able to prove that AI is trained on relevant smart data on Nuklai.
????Bringing On-chain Reputation Scores to Creds????
cheqd launched a new partnership with Digital Social ID to bring on-chain reputation scores to Creds. For businesses, DSID acts as a rating agency of blockchain accounts based on on-chain activities and off-chain integrations. For Creds collectors,? they'll be able to start building their reputation based on their on-chain interactions, enabling them to access rewards such as airdrops, gain access to credit, and more.
????New DEX Listing on Shade????
A new pool of $SHD/$CHEQ was launched on the Shade protocol with over $195k in liquidity. Shade Protocol is a suite of open-source applications that provide the best place for private DeFi in the Cosmos. They include swapping, borrowing, optimised derivatives, and privacy toolings.?We have chatted with their team earlier regarding our 2024 roadmap and the liquidity collaboration. You can listen back here.
????Origin of Verifiable AI: The Interplay of AI and Verifiable Credentials????
We have launched our first-in-a-series-of-five article on the origin of vAI. In a digital world, where soon 90% of the material we consume may be AI generated, we need vAI to be able to trust the information in front of our eyes. Trust is quickly becoming the most important currency we have. Let’s delve into the interplay between AI and verifiable credentials, exploring how their use can bring on the advent of Trusted Data. We will also examine? the AI information supply chain, and how verifiable credentials add value along the chain.
??????Top 10 StartinBlock Finalists to Join Paris Blockchain Week??????

????Commentary on Cointelegraph and Hackernoon????
Fraser has been invited by Cointelegraph to share his thoughts on the moon or doom trend of the crypto industry. He believed that a lack of focus on solving real problems attributes to the failure. Thus, since day 1 of cheqd, we have dedicated ourselves to building infrastructure for the Trusted Data markets. On Hackernoon, Fraser illuminated the competitive landscape that AI tokens are navigating. He shed light on the cold start problems AI networks faced. Despite all, he remains optimistic about the market's growth potential.
