What Is Tagger?

1. What Is Tagger?

Tagger (ticker $TAG) is a decentralized AI data-infrastructure platform built on the BNB Chain. It enables crowdsourcing of data collection, annotation, verification, and trading for machine-learning and AI projects via a blockchain-native model. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

2. Why Tagger Was Created

The production of high-quality AI datasets is expensive, slow, and centralized. Many AI workflows rely on silos, manual annotations, and opaque verification. Tagger was created to address these issues by:

• Decentralizing data annotation and collection, allowing global contributors to participate. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Providing on-chain provenance for data, verification of work, and transparent payments via smart contracts. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Creating a marketplace where data is not locked in silos, but can be labeled, traded and monetized across borders. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

3. How Tagger Works

1. An enterprise or AI project creates a task request for data collection or annotation (e.g., images, video, voice). :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
2. Contributors sign up and complete the tasks using Tagger’s tools (including its AI Copilot for annotation assistance), and their work is logged on-chain for transparency. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
3. A review or verification layer evaluates the completed work to ensure quality; smart contracts then release payment in $TAG (or associated stablecoins) to the contributor. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
4. The labelled and verified data is packaged, and optionally listed on Tagger’s decentralized marketplace for reuse, licensing or trade — enterprises or AI projects access it using $TAG. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
5. Token and protocol incentives align contributors, reviewers and enterprises: $TAG is used for payments, staking, governance, and access to the ecosystem. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

4. Key Features of Tagger

• Permissionless data contributor model: Contributors from anywhere can participate. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
• Blockchain-based provenance for data ownership and verifiable contributions. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}
• AI-assisted annotation tools (AI Copilot) to improve contributor efficiency and quality. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}
• Decentralised marketplace for data sets, licensing and trading using smart contracts. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
• Token-driven incentives: $TAG used for rewards, payments, staking, governance and buy-backs. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
• Enterprise integration deals demonstrating real-world contracts (e.g., data-labeling signed deals). :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

5. Who Can Use Tagger?

• Individuals who want to contribute data labeling, collection or annotation work and earn $TAG rewards. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• AI developers, enterprises and research teams needing scalable, high-quality training datasets and a marketplace for data sets. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}
• Data marketplace participants looking to license or trade labelled datasets via smart contracts. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}
• Token holders who want to stake $TAG, participate in governance, and align with the growth of a data-infrastructure ecosystem. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

6. What Is the $TAG Token?

$TAG is the native token of the Tagger ecosystem, and it serves several functions: :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

• Incentives & Rewards: Contributors earn TAG tokens for completing data tasks (collection, labeling, review). :contentReference[oaicite:20]{index=20}
• Payments: Enterprises and clients pay for data services, dataset access, and marketplace trades using TAG. :contentReference[oaicite:21]{index=21}
• Governance: TAG holders can participate in direction of the protocol, governance proposals and ecosystem decisions. :contentReference[oaicite:22]{index=22}
• Supply & Metrics: Circulating supply is over 108 billion TAG and total supply is around 405.38 billion TAG. :contentReference[oaicite:23]{index=23}
• Utility & Value Alignment: As the data-infrastructure ecosystem grows with enterprises and contributors, demand for TAG may increase, aligning token value with usage. :contentReference[oaicite:24]{index=24}
