Itheum on Walrus set to power the next generation of AI and music data economies.
Itheum, a leading data tokenization protocol for both human and AI interactions, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Walrus, a decentralized storage protocol. This collaboration is set to enhance the secure storage and seamless exchange of substantial data assets across Itheum’s platform, positioning both entities at the forefront of the evolving data economy.
As a data tokenization protocol specifically tailored for the music and AI agent industries, Itheum’s infrastructure enables the conversion of real-world data into tradable and liquid assets. This advancement allows musicians and music AI agents to tokenize individual songs, full albums, and entire catalogs, creating new monetization avenues while ensuring control over royalties, distribution, and copyright protection.
“We chose Walrus because of its unparalleled ability to handle large file storage with efficiency and resilience,” said Mark Paul, Founder and CEO of Itheum. “This partnership allows us to address one of our community’s biggest pain points – reliable access to high-quality media and data files without exorbitant costs or latency issues.”
While Itheum has effectively supported smaller files through its proprietary storage layer, users have encountered obstacles when storing more extensive media such as high-resolution audio and video. By integrating Walrus into its operations, Itheum will offer its community cost-effective, scalable, and highly available storage solutions for large file assets. This collaboration also enables Walrus users to access Itheum’s advanced data tokenization technology, facilitating the tokenization and trade of comprehensive data assets. For AI agents, Walrus allows the storage of extensive models, training data, and fine-tuning processes, fostering a rich environment for trade and collaboration among agents.
“Itheum’s focus on democratizing data ownership aligns perfectly with Walrus’s mission,” said Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of Walrus Foundation. “By providing resilient, scalable, and programmable storage, Walrus empowers platforms like Itheum to innovate around ownership and drive revenue generation without being constrained by traditional data storage limitations.”
Itheum’s innovative AI agent-specific technology, known as the AIthra Network, emphasizes high programmability for AI agents. The primary objective of the AIthra Network is to simplify the tokenization of any form of data, information, or content, all achievable with just a few lines of code. Collaborating with Walrus positions Itheum for enhanced performance, availability, and overall reliability, solidifying its role as a foundational infrastructure for data tokenization and AI-centric applications.
Walrus is slated for mainnet launch in March, setting the stage for transformative advancements in data economies.
