## About

Founded in 2021 by Brendan Playford and Calanthia Mei, and based in California, US, Masa Network operates as a software platform that engages in developing decentralized data marketplaces to facilitate the bulk exchange of information in a distributed and secure manner. The firm’s customers include Polygon, Binance Smart Chain, Base, Injective, Valora, etc. In December 2024, Masa Network raised an undisclosed amount in venture funding led by new investor Digital Currency Group Inc., with participation from other new investor FBG Capital.

The company creates and promotes an open, incentive market for global personal data storage and management. The platform includes a non-fungible credit report, composable credit primitives, smart contracts, and liquidity pools to meet the growing demand for a scalable, interoperable, and standardized on-chain identity infrastructure in the web3 ecosystem.

The company will use the December 2024 funding to expedite the development of self-improving AI agents based on real-time data.
