Data Guardians Network Joins NVIDIA Inception to Advance Trusted AI Layer

Founded in 2025, Data Guardians Network (D-GN) provides the trusted data layer for AI through its Provable Data Governance Framework. Its multimodal platform spans text, image, voice, video, and lip-sync data, collected from a globally diverse contributor community. Contributors earn instant USDT rewards via gamified experiences, while enterprises gain access to transparent and auditable data pipelines. D-GN’s system combines open community data packs with secure enclave training for sensitive datasets. The network is powered by the $DGN utility token, aligning ecosystem governance, contributor incentives, and long-term sustainability.

The NVIDIA Inception program is designed to accelerate growth for early-stage startups by offering access to cutting-edge GPUs, software development kits, and technical guidance. Members also benefit from networking opportunities with investors and partners, as well as collaboration with other AI-focused companies in the ecosystem. The program currently supports more than 17,000 startups worldwide, spanning industries from healthcare to robotics, making D-GN part of a highly selective global community.

Launched just four months ago, D-GN is reshaping AI training by providing fast, low-cost, and context-rich datasets sourced from a decentralized global contributor base. Its multimodal system spans image recognition, voice and video understanding, and lip-sync data, delivered through mobile, web, and Telegram applications designed for scale and accessibility. Contributors are rewarded instantly in USDT via gamified user experiences, a model intended to activate billions of participants worldwide while ensuring AI systems are trained on diverse, human-verified data.

The company’s approach has already been validated in a beta deployment with Web3 leader droppGroup, which also led a $5 million pre-seed funding round. D-GN’s blockchain-enabled pipelines combine transparent traceability with peer-to-peer quality control, ensuring that datasets are auditable, ethically sourced, and ready for enterprise-grade applications.

droppGroup, known for its work at the intersection of Web3 and enterprise applications, has been an early partner in showcasing D-GN’s data governance framework. Through its beta deployment, D-GN demonstrated that decentralized data sourcing combined with blockchain-based traceability can meet enterprise standards for compliance and auditability. This early validation not only strengthened droppGroup’s backing but also positioned D-GN to attract further strategic partnerships across both the AI and blockchain industries.

“Joining NVIDIA Inception is a major milestone in our mission to build the trusted data layer for AI” said Johanna Cabildo, CEO of Data Guardians Network. “There’s a lot of talk from top analyst firms about how AI could replace hundreds of millions of jobs. We see it differently. We’re creating the job role of the future, contributing the human verified data that makes these systems trustworthy and useful. That’s why USDT payments are already live on our platform. With NVIDIA’s support, we can now scale this globally, giving enterprises and developers access to frontier datasets built by people, not scraped from the internet, to power the next generation of human centered AI.”

As a member of NVIDIA Inception, D-GN will gain access to advanced hardware, technical resources, and collaboration opportunities with industry experts and AI innovators, positioning the company to expand its global reach and strengthen its role as a trusted data layer for the future of artificial intelligence.

D-GN plans to expand its contributor base across emerging markets, where mobile-first adoption and economic incentives can drive large-scale participation. By coupling financial inclusion with ethical AI development, the company aims to demonstrate that building trusted datasets can also create new forms of digital employment. This dual mission, supporting enterprise-grade AI and empowering global communities, reflects the broader vision D-GN hopes to achieve with the backing of NVIDIA Inception.
