Last night, I spent 30 minutes organizing detailed DeFi strategy notes, hoping an AI tool would turn them into something useful. Instead, it gave me generic filler and ignored the important insights completely.
That frustration made me think about a bigger problem: AI models are built on massive amounts of human data, yet the people contributing knowledge rarely get credit or rewards.
While researching [OpenLedger](https://www.openledger.xyz?utm_source=chatgpt.com), I found their idea of Datanets and Proof of Attribution (PoA) surprisingly interesting. Instead of treating data like free fuel, they’re trying to track where model intelligence actually comes from and reward contributors when their data helps produce valuable outputs.
It’s still early, but for the first time, I’ve seen an AI system that makes ordinary people feel like participants in the value being created — not just invisible contributors behind the scenes.
