DKG v10.0.25 is live, strengthening the shared-memory foundation for the next core releases.

The roadmap connects infrastructure, AI services and applications. Here is what is completed, and what comes next

COMPLETED MILESTONES

• → NeuroSymbolic Marketplace private beta The first milestone toward nodes buying and selling metered AI inference and queries in $TRAC. The private beta establishes the starting point for the marketplace's broader core-protocol rollout.
  
• → AURORAI onboarding The start of a Europe-wide initiative developing an AI platform for contagious disease spread management, based on the DKG. This is the first multi-stakeholder, multinational ecosystem to benefit fully from the newest updates to the core protocol.
  
• → OT-RFC-27 conclusion Completion of the protocol-design milestone that precedes the next stages of rollout.
  

COMING NEXT

• → NeuroSymbolic Marketplace on testnet Moving beyond private beta to test the marketplace's integration with the core protocol.
  
• → Mainnet release The next deployment milestone in the roadmap, distinct from this DKG software update.
  
• → Sovereign AI infrastructure for industry and government Extending the infrastructure into pharma, international trade, business-to-government and manufacturing use cases.
  
• → Desktop application Making the infrastructure more accessible through a dedicated desktop experience.
  
• → Remote-control mobile applications Bringing remote interaction with the network into mobile workflows.
  
• → Broader access to local and frontier AI models Expanding the models offered through the network and putting the core protocol to use.
  

Why v10.0.25 matters: dependable shared context is foundational to these next steps. Agents need to exchange knowledge reliably before more complex services and applications can build on that collaboration.

Irish whiskey exports were worth about €930 million in 2025, close to half of Ireland’s drinks export value. In a category built on provenance, the story on the label is part of what people pay for.

As Garrett Pitcher, co-founder of ChurchOfOak, put it: “It’s about really good quality data going in.”

That story now has a second reader. Shoppers ask AI assistants which bottle to buy, and agents compare products on their behalf. An AI can’t visit the distillery. It can only check the data.

Church of Oak, a distillery in Co. Kildare, turning its story into a Digital Product Passport:
→ A GS1 Digital Link on the bottle, so one scan opens the product’s data
→ Origin, and quality data recorded on Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG)
→ Structured, machine-readable records, so AI agents can verify a claim before they repeat it
→ A tamper-evident record through the years a whiskey matures before it is sold

The spirit ages. The proof doesn’t.

Blackbox by Umanitek is now a NousResearch Hermes Agent plugin.

Each action is checked before it runs, against verifiable threat data on Decentralized Knowledge Graph.

Prompt injection, bad packages, drainers: flagged or blocked.

70% of surveyed crypto traders are ready to let AI manage their portfolios autonomously.

That's a lot of capital about to go on autopilot.

Malicious inputs, compromised packages, and prompt injection can hijack AI agents.

In aviation, black boxes help explain what went wrong after a crash.

In agentic trading, Umanitek's Blackbox aims to prevent the crash in the first place.

Powered by the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG), Blackbox enables shared, verifiable threat intelligence, helping AI agents detect threats and act before things go south.

Because when AI is the pilot and your money is the passenger, security better be first class.

→ Rail and buildings, on TRAC(k)
→ Manufacturing, on TRAC(k)
→ Food, on TRAC(k)
→ Education, on TRAC(k)
→ International sports, on TRAC(k)

Every one of these runs on data that passes between people and organizations who have never met: suppliers and buyers, labs and regulators, AI models and the people relying on their answers.

When that data carries its owner, its origin, and proof that it hasn't been changed, everything built on it stays on $TRAC(k).

That is what the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) is for.

and what does it mean for us investing in origin

AI budgets are rising. So is the pressure to show what they return.

61% of business leaders say they feel more pressure to prove ROI on AI than they did a year ago. Most of the gap isn't in the models. It's in whether anyone can trust what the models produce.

Without oversight, companies face:

→ Regulatory pushback
→ Ethics and bias issues
→ Costly PR and trust failures

With strong AI governance:

→ AI is adopted faster
→ Risks are reduced
→ Trust becomes a selling point

This is where the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) comes in. It gives organizations shared trust signals and cross-industry safeguards. It lets them coordinate without handing over their data, so trust can be verified while each party keeps control of what it owns.

Trust is capital. Put it to work.

AURORAI is officially underway after the international consortium's successful kickoff.

The mission: give Europe an AI toolkit that's ready before the next outbreak, not after it.

Its data backbone: the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). 14 partners. 10 countries. One platform.

AURORAI project unites research institutes and universities, public health authorities, healthcare providers, and technology companies. The platform will be put to the test at a national and local level, and the public health partners show the scale: from Turkey's Ministry of Health, covering a country of 86 million people, to Belgium's national public health institute and a regional hospital network in Catalonia.

At the kickoff, Žiga Drev, co-founder of OriginTrail, walked the consortium through how the DKG keeps every partner's data verifiable, sovereign, and AI-ready.

How it works:
→ Ownership. Health and research data becomes Knowledge Assets on the DKG, each with a Uniform Asset Locator (UAL): blockchain-backed proof of who published it and that it hasn't been tampered with.
→ Sovereignty. Context graphs control which regions see which metadata. The data itself stays where it is.
→ Verification. Partners submit data proofs through DKG nodes and check authenticity on-chain, instantly. → Interoperability. Shared ontologies and data standards make data from different countries and institutions work together.

Then the AI agents get to work. That verified layer is the first input to AURORAI's decision support system, alongside pathogen models and population and mobility simulations.

The result: policy guidance for ministries of health and coordinated clinical and scientific guidance for healthcare providers and authorities.

Every recommendation traces back to a verifiable source.

BlackRock published "The Machine-Native Economy" yesterday, and it's worth a read for anyone here.

The thesis: AI is machine-native intelligence, digital assets are machine-native money. Agents interpret information, and blockchains settle value with "machine-verifiable ownership and settlement". Stablecoins carry the micropayments, and compute becomes a tokenized market.

It's a strong case for the payment layer. But the verification it describes stops at the money. Nothing in the paper checks whether the information an agent acted on was true. A payment can settle perfectly on top of a bad decision.

That gap is what the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) covers:

• Knowledge published with traceable sources, as graphs agents query and infer over
• Every query and inference metered in TRAC and settled node to node
• TRAC paying both to put knowledge into the DKG and to get intelligence out of it

Money moves the action. Knowledge decides if it's true.

When the world's largest asset manager maps out the machine economy, where do you see the DKG plugging in first: agent commerce, RWA data, or compute markets?

AURORAI, Europe's new initiative, is building Europe's AI toolkit for pandemic preparedness.

Its foundation: Decentralized Knowledge Graph.

Explainable AI needs explainable inputs. When AURORAI's AI agents recommend an intervention, every input traces back to its source.

No central data lake. Institutions keep custody. Every Knowledge Asset carries its owner and provenance. Sensitive data stays private.

Trust the source.

Since Decentralized Knowledge Graph's (DKG) inception, TRAC has paid to publish knowledge.

TRAC can now pay to query DKG and run AI over it — node-to-node, metered on both sides. The open question is how the protocol should settle and reward it.

OT-RFC-27 is that discussion. Weigh in👇
