About Databroker

Databroker is the blockchain-based, peer-to-peer marketplace for data. It’s home to an ever-growing number of data buyers and providers worldwide, all with one common goal: to create real business value from data.

Connecting and serving

Responding to the needs of our data-driven age, Databroker is there to connect and serve, whatever the size of your organisation or company, and whatever your data needs.

Via our platform, you can buy or sell pre-defined data streams or data sets, or find your ideal data partner through broader offers and requests that can be fine-tuned and negotiated.

And thanks to blockchain technology, purchased data is safely and securely transferred directly between the two parties, never touching the Databroker platform. This automated process offers speed and reliability, and gives unparalleled assurances about data integrity.

Personalised DataMatch service

For those who have trouble finding the data they need, we offer a tailor-made DataMatch service. Based on your specific needs, our DataMatch Advisor searches for potential data partners from our wide global network, and contacts you when they find what you need. At no extra cost.

The first prototype of DataBroker DAO, the first global data marketplace for trading data, sees the light of day in 2018. A total of 225 million DTX tokens are created, corresponding to the expected number of sensors that will be connected to DataBroker DAO in the year 2024.

2019
V2 Alpha release

The next release of Databroker DAO sees DTX tokens being staked to ensure the quality of data being sold, and allows potential buyers to easily search and find the sensor data they need and purchase it with DTX tokens.

2020

2020 sees the rebranding of the Databroker platform, and the first commercial version of the marketplace where data buyers and data sellers can meet each other autonomously. Ongoing focus is on onboarding of data sellers and gaining commercial traction.
