About ATN.io

ATN.io, established in October 2017, operates as a marketplace for artificial intelligence APIs, built on a blockchain foundation. The company's core mission is to create a collaborative and trusted environment where developers, suppliers, and buyers can access and develop AI technologies. This ecosystem is designed to facilitate the sharing of AI services, allowing providers and consumers to integrate into the marketplace seamlessly.

The platform is structured around Decentralised Bot (DBot) technologies, which are instrumental in introducing AI capabilities to various blockchain platforms. The underlying technology is a multi-centered coordination blockchain that is open and transparent. This infrastructure supports developers in creating and training AI services by providing access to necessary resources. For instance, a company with specific data sets, like a large travel agency, can offer its data on the ATN platform to a developer for training an AI service. Similarly, entities with significant processing power can rent it out to developers for AI training purposes. Once an AI service is developed and trained, it can be accessed through the ATN network.

In February 2018, ATN, along with its partner Atmatrix which ATN.io manages for public chain and international operations, announced a strategic investment of $10 million from firms including Dream Chaser Capital, Capital Dynamics Fund, Longqing Capital, and Drop Capita. This funding was intended to enhance their reputation management system and DBot servers. The company's business model revolves around the use of ATN tokens, which are utilized for all activities recorded on the blockchain, functioning as the primary medium of exchange on the platform.
