# Data Intelligence Layer

The First Phase of our testnet is Data Intelligence Layer

### What is the Data Intelligence layer, and Why is it Important?

The Data Intelligence layer is a growing repository of internet-sourced data, powered by community nodes. This data undergoes processes such as curation, enrichment, categorization, and augmentation to provide LLM-ready auxiliary intelligence for building specialized AI models on OpenLedger.

This innovative data source is developed by a former Google DeepMind engineer and the Data Bootstrap team, making it a one-of-a-kind resource for decentralized AI development.

### How Does the Data Intelligence layer Source Data?

The Data Intelligence layer relies on community nodes that run on edge devices using community hardware. Once registered, these nodes utilize computational resources to perform tasks such as data collection and processing. Contributors earn rewards based on their activity levels and participation, incentivizing sustainable community-driven data sourcing.
