Drive369, a decentralized data computing and storage protocol powering the next generation of AI-driven infrastructure (DePIN), proudly announces the successful closing of a $2 million strategic investment round led by Mason Labs and Atlas Capital. The round includes participation from major global blockchain investors such as Animoca Brands, DWF Labs, DNA Capital, Fibonacci Capital, V3V Ventures, and IBC Group, further positioning Drive369 as one of the most promising open-infrastructure ecosystems bridging Web3 and artificial intelligence. Building the World’s Decentralized Data Intelligence Layer Drive369 is developing a multi-layer DePIN infrastructure that merges advanced data compression (MLC algorithms), client-side encryption, and distributed computing nodes into a unified architecture. The protocol enables secure data transmission, privacy-preserving AI training, and efficient edge computing directly on encrypted networks — reducing reliance on centralized cloud providers and delivering greater efficiency, scalability, and sovereignty. Its proprietary GhostDrive Protocol, co-developed through Filecoin grant programs and open-source research collaborations, introduces a multi-signature file management and streaming system. This breakthrough allows enterprises, universities, and governments to deploy sovereign data clusters connected through the Drive369 mesh — building the foundation for a decentralized, transparent, and high-performance global data grid. First Country-Scale Pilot: IndoDrive The first national deployment, IndoDrive, launches in Indonesia in partnership with regional technology councils, educational networks, and industry associations. IndoDrive aims to create the country’s first AI Creative Economy Infrastructure, enabling universities, creators, and startups to host Drive369 nodes that contribute to data sovereignty and localized AI computing capacity. By pioneering Country Drives, Drive369 empowers emerging markets to build digital self-reliance — turning nations into active participants in the global AI economy rather than passive data consumers.

Solving Real-World Challenges Fragmented Infrastructure: Drive369 unifies decentralized storage and compute, removing dependence on centralized cloud systems. High Cloud Costs: Its MLC compression algorithms deliver up to 10× optimization, drastically lowering the cost of AI model training and data processing. Privacy and Security: End-to-end, zero-knowledge encryption protects creative, academic, and institutional data. AI Inclusion: Country Drives enable nations and local innovators to deploy their own computing grids and retain digital sovereignty. Vision Forward Drive369’s long-term vision is to establish a global decentralized computing grid, connecting AI rendering, sovereign cloud services, and secure data storage through a community-governed DAO and Proof-of-Performance (PoP) emissions model.
