Today, individuals, companies, researchers, and governments make use of sensor data to optimize and monitor their operations. This trend has resulted in spending hundreds of billions of dollars yearly expenses for buying and maintaining IoT sensors. Despite the staggering growth in the investment and applications in IoT, often the collected data is for single purpose. “As a decentralized marketplace for IoT sensor data, we offer sensor owners an online marketplace to trade their single purpose sensor data and turn the data into a revenue stream,” says Matthew Van Niekerk, co-founder and CEO of DataBroker DAO.

DataBroker DAO’s marketplace platform is built to integrate with other significant players in the sensor data ecosystem (manufacturers and gateway operators) in a non-invasive way. Rather than projecting itself as a replacement to traditional data trading, the company is ensuring a low friction environment for the data traders. It focuses on being an integral component in the current and future ecosystem to ensure that in the future DataBroker DAO can co-exist, integrate, and complement next generation of distributed ledger systems in the IoT ecosystem, Streamr, and OceanProtocol. DataBroker DAO is also collaborating with several big data and smart data technology companies, integrators, and resellers to create and maintain an alliance. For instance, the company is a prestigious member of the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance—the Alliance for the Internet of Things Innovation—in Beltug and Agoria. These strategic partnerships help DataBroker DAO to stay at the forefront of the change. To conclude, Niekerk says, “Equipped with all the partners and resources, DataBroker DAO is driving the evolution toward truly ‘smart living’ by making sensor data easily accessible to cities, organizations, and entrepreneurs at an affordable price.
