Presens Network and Pundi AI announce a partnership to bring real-world data on-chain, paving the way for advances in blockchain-based artificial intelligence. Through this partnership, both companies will combine DePIN data with their respective verifiable data ecosystems and use it to support AI development. The partnership, announced on January 21, 2026, connects spatiotemporal data collected from the physical environment to AI infrastructure created using blockchain, giving builders access to legitimate human activity patterns that can build the next generation of intelligent systems.
Bridging physical reality and blockchain intelligence
Presens Networks creates new intelligence from presence signals collected from millions of everyday devices, providing insights into human activity patterns based on location over time, without violating user privacy or requiring the collection of personally identifiable information (PII). The Presens Network’s Pulse nodes provide aggregated, anonymized presence signal data while maintaining user anonymity, enabling many applications such as adaptive traffic management systems and safe robot placement systems.
The collaborations established between Pundi AI and other partner organizations create exciting opportunities to create value for both parties by providing real-world, contextual data to developers of AI technologies. Integrating this data into the development of AI technology gives builders developing in the Pundi AI ecosystem the opportunity to train their models using real data that reflects human activity, rather than simply using synthetic data or data collected from the internet.
Merging distributed infrastructure and AI training data
This partnership fills an urgent gap in the current artificial intelligence development process. Currently, most available AI systems are trained using non-dynamic, static databases that cannot accommodate real-time changes in human behavior or the environment. The integration of Presens Network and its DePIN infrastructure with Pundi AI, and its approach to tokenization and verification, provides builders with time and location datasets.
Pundi AI has developed tools for decentralized AI development through the ability for data contributors to tokenize their data into Dataset Tokens (DTOK), which can be monetized and traded on Data Pump. Our partnership with Presens Network provides this ecosystem with an additional dimension of real-world context beyond traditional data labeling.
Impact on AI agents and autonomous systems
This partnership will have a major impact on the future of AI agents and autonomous systems. Developers creating AI agents using platforms like HyperGPT and 4AI will be able to use Presens Network data to add real-world situational information. For example, anonymized crowd density data could allow delivery agent systems to better optimize routes. Robotic systems also use spatio-temporal information when navigating public spaces, improving safety for people navigating through areas populated by others.
This partnership marks a broader shift towards distributed sensor networks and AI-enhanced predictive modeling. In this relationship, both Presens Network and Pundi AI value community ownership and transparency. It ensures that the data associated with these systems can be easily verified, publicly managed, and not subject to the authority of any particular centralized organization.
conclusion
By establishing a collaboration, collaborators Pundi AI and Presens Network will introduce a decentralized approach to building AI infrastructure that can address some of the biggest problems faced when developing AI technology. The partners have developed a solution that uses tokens to assess and establish a secure and trusted electronic presence for AI systems. Validation through blockchain technology allows these functions to be performed in a single integrated AI solution with minimal issues.
