Beluga’s Take
While there may be many data storage protocols in crypto at this point, many of the big ones will soon be forced to adapt to a new type of storage client: AI agents. DataHaven, conversely, is built with the data-heavy necessities of agents in mind. It's dual-layer architecture in which the consensus layer is separated from the storage layer allows the protocol to handle large datasets without making gas fees skyrocket.
This means they're uniquely positioned to capture the AI market right as it begins to hit an inflection point, in addition to the growing need of data from other sectors like DePIN and RWAs. Their connection to the Ethereum ecosystem via their partnership with Eigenlayer as a preferred storage partner means the billions of dollars in RWAs on ETH will have a seamless option to store and protect their data without relying on a third-party token. Existing alternatives typically secure their storage network with their own tokens, meaning billions worth of data may be secured by a token worth a fraction of that amount.
The data storage industry is expected to grow to over $1 trillion in the next 10 years, and an option for composable, decentralized, and secure storage is more necessary than ever. DataHaven's team has a strong track record of execution in Web2 and Web3, and it being an extension of the Moonbeam foundation lends further credibility to the project.

ACTION
DataHaven is committed to a “fair launch” model. We are allocating 50% of our token supply to the community, reflecting our belief in the importance of individual contributors and the core ethos of the web3 projects we support. These tokens will be used for three primary buckets:
1. Decentralization and Governance: A community treasury to fund initiatives, grants for developers, marketing efforts, partnerships, and other activities that benefit the ecosystem, as decided by governance.
2. Participation and Growth: Active users are the cornerstone of every project; areas of use include airdrops, staking rewards, contributor rewards, marketing campaigns, and other customer acquisition.
3. Ecosystem Development: Ecosystem grants and programs, strategic partnerships, and the general growth of DataHaven among a global audience.
Tokens held by the DataHaven Foundation for operating, R&D, and other relevant expenses to maintain network operations.
DataHaven was launched by the Moonbeam Foundation. This allocation compensates for time and expenses incurred. Importantly, DataHaven has no investors—meaning no cliffs and no traditional selling pressure. The Foundation’s allocation is structured for long-term alignment and ecosystem growth, not short-term gain.
Tokens held by the core team and other core contributors most involved and responsible for driving DataHaven.
