# KGeN

> Verified human data network for Physical AI and LLMs

KGeN is a verified human data network for Physical AI and large language models. It sources multimodal data from a global network of verified users to train AI models, linking protocol revenue to onchain reduction of its token supply.

KGeN is a verified human data network that supplies multimodal data to train Physical AI systems and large language models. It operates a global base of verified users spanning a wide range of countries and languages, capturing sound, sight, motion, and touch data alongside gaming and world-model data. The network is built for AI labs and model developers seeking authenticated, diverse data sourced with on-chain provenance rather than bot-generated or unverified inputs.

The platform addresses data quality and provenance problems in AI training by verifying human participants and tracking engagement on-chain. Verified users complete quests and campaigns that generate labeled, multimodal datasets, earning rewards for participation. A portion of the revenue generated from AI data contracts is used to reduce the circulating supply of the KGEN token, tying commercial activity directly to token economics through code rather than manual processes.

Its offerings span data collection, data labeling, and model evaluation, organized under distinct product lines for quest-based data capture, rewards distribution, and a marketplace for redeeming earned value. Voice AI, physical AI, and gaming data collection are among its core service areas, supporting annotation and quality control across multiple domains and languages. KGeN is used by AI labs, model developers, and verified human contributors across the Global South who participate in its data and rewards ecosystem.

## Products

- [VeriFi](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): VeriFi is a verified distribution protocol that validates real user identity and engagement through privacy-preserving verification. The system aggregates user attributes across gaming, commerce, and social activities to enable businesses to acquire authenticated users. It provides biometric-based verification, on-chain reputation tracking, and programmable loyalty mechanisms for user acquisition and retention across AI, DeFi, and gaming applications. (Developer Tooling, Live, Main Product)
- [POG Engine](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): POG Engine is an identity and reputation framework that tracks user engagement across platforms through five verification scores: Proof of Human, Proof of Play, Proof of Skill, Proof of Commerce, and Proof of Social. The system validates user actions via OAuth integrations and blockchain verification, creating portable on-chain reputation profiles. It provides developers with verified user data across gaming activity, wallet transactions, and social interactions. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [K-Store](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): K-Store is a decentralized commerce platform enabling users to redeem rewards and access vouchers from global brands across food, travel, gaming, and entertainment. The platform accepts K-Cash rewards earned through quests and campaigns, providing seamless payment methods for purchasing digital goods and gift cards. (Online Retail Platform, Live)
- [KQuest](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): KQuest is a questing platform where users complete tasks and campaigns to earn ecosystem rewards. The system tracks user participation across social media, gaming activities, and blockchain interactions, converting engagement into verifiable on-chain credentials and reward accumulation. (Questing Platform, Live)
- [KDrop](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): KDrop is a campaign distribution platform enabling projects to distribute tokens and rewards to verified user cohorts. The system provides leaderboard-based competition mechanics and targeted airdrop campaigns, allowing businesses to reach authenticated users based on engagement metrics and reputation scores. (Customer Engagement Platform, Live)
- [KGeN Mobile App](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): KGeN Mobile App is a unified engagement platform enabling users to participate in quests, join clans, and earn rewards through gaming and social activities. The application provides access to K-Store vouchers, POG profile management, and rKGEN reward tracking with integrated wallet functionality for managing digital assets. (Wallet, Live)
- [Retention Protocol](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): Retention Protocol is a customer engagement platform enabling publishers to integrate gamified user retention mechanics into their applications via APIs. It combines a rewards engine, user profiling engine, voucher and rewards redemption, and login and wallet services into a single API-first integration layer for app partners. Publishers use it to increase user engagement and redemption activity while sharing in the resulting economic value. (Customer Engagement Platform, Live)

## Assets

- [KGEN (KGEN)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): KGEN is the governance and utility token of the KGeN Protocol, a verified-human data network for Physical AI and LLM training. Holders stake KGEN to earn yield, pay platform fees, and vote on protocol decisions, while a share of AI-data revenue is used to permanently burn tokens. This revenue-to-burn mechanism ties commercial data contracts directly to on-chain supply reduction. (Governance)
- [KCash (KCASH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/kgen): KCASH is the utility token of the KGeN ecosystem, serving as the platform's redeemable reward currency. Users earn KCash by completing verification quests and engagement activities, then redeem it for vouchers and gift cards in K-Store or convert it to KGEN. The token is backed by the KGeN treasury, converting user engagement directly into spendable value across commerce and gaming. (Utility)
