DatumChain Projects
Ten real projects in the datumchain sector, from a single records box to a national data program. Involvement in a project means participating in the project and sharing in its actual net revenue — the Participant Pool is 10% of each project’s net revenue, distributed monthly among qualifying participants. It is not a yield on DAT and no return is promised.
Each project has a participation gate: hold DAT worth 1% of the project’s value (in CAD). The gate is a balance check only — nothing is spent, transferred, or locked, ever. Holds stack: your balance must cover the sum of the gates of every project you join. Involvement stays active only while your wallet is connected and the hold is met; if the balance drops or the wallet disconnects, involvement suspends and resumes automatically when the hold is restored.

Business Records Digitization Service T1 Bootstrap
Every small business and small municipality sits on the same archaeology: filing cabinets of paper records that one flood, fire, or retirement erase. This service does the rescue properly — scanning, indexing, and structuring paper records into searchable digital archives, with chain-of-custody records per box kept in the ERP from pickup to verified delivery.

Survey & Field Data Collection Service T1 Bootstrap
Decisions get made on data somebody has to go and get: asset conditions, traffic counts, environmental readings, customer and citizen surveys. This service is the going-and-getting, done to a standard — trained field crews with validated instruments and forms, GPS-stamped records, and quality checks before delivery, with every dataset's collection record filed in the ERP.

SME Business Intelligence Dashboard Service T2 Startup
A small business owner runs on five systems and a feeling. This service replaces the feeling: a live dashboard per business — sales, cash, inventory, jobs, customers — fed automatically from the systems they already use, built and maintained for owners who will never hire an analyst. Setup, data connections, and monthly reviews are run as one service, recorded per client in the ERP.

Geospatial Mapping & GIS Data Service T2 Startup
Land, infrastructure, and logistics decisions are map decisions — and most small organisations' maps are a decade out of date. This service builds and maintains working GIS data: parcel and asset mapping, drone survey processing, service-area and routing data, delivered as maintained datasets and map services rather than one-off PDFs that die in an inbox.

Municipal Open Data & Records Platform Operations T3 Growth
Municipalities are told to publish open data and keep digital records — and given neither the staff nor the platform to do either. This project operates both as a service: records management and open-data publishing for small and mid-size municipalities, with retention schedules, access-request workflows, and publication pipelines run to standard, and every record's lifecycle tracked in the ERP.

Data Services & Managed Hosting Company T4 Established
Organisations that run on data need somewhere trustworthy for it to live and people who answer when it breaks. This company provides both as one accountable service: managed hosting and database operations, backup and recovery that is tested rather than assumed, and data engineering support — with service levels, backup verification, and incident records reported to clients from ERP operations records.
| Project value | $3,150,000 CAD |

Public Sector Data Integration Program T5 Large
Public institutions hold the same citizen's data in a dozen systems that cannot speak to each other, and every integration is a fresh procurement adventure. This program builds integrations as a disciplined practice: administrative data systems connected under strict privacy and access rules — data minimised, access logged, purposes defined — with every interface's design, approvals, and operating record kept in the ERP to audit standard.
| Project value | $14,500,000 CAD |
|---|---|
| Participant Pool | 10% of net revenue, monthly |
| Next milestone | First institutional integration live under a completed privacy assessment |
| Participation gate | Hold ≈ — DAT ($145,000 CAD) — 1% of project value |
| Your state | Wallet not connected |
What it does & revenue model: per-integration delivery contracts and multi-year interface operations agreements with public bodies and large institutions. The practice sells provable care: privacy assessments, access logs, and audits are deliverables, not paperwork afterthoughts.
What involvement gets you: the pool share; interfaces delivered and under operation, audit reporting; a data-integration assessment for an institution a holder serves, at program rates.
Milestones: First institutional integration live under a completed privacy assessment · interface operations desk running · integrations across three public sectors (municipal, health administration, education) · published audit record across all operated interfaces

National Research Data Infrastructure T6 Mega
Research data is generated on grants and lost on graduations — datasets on laptops, formats undocumented, decades of work unfindable. This infrastructure fixes the layer underneath: repository and preservation services, dataset documentation and discovery, and secure compute for sensitive data, operated for universities and research institutions in phases that each run as real services.
| Project value | $105,000,000 CAD |
|---|---|
| Participant Pool | 10% of net revenue, monthly |
| Next milestone | Repository service live with founding institutions |

National Data Infrastructure & Sovereign Cloud Program T7 Giga
A decade-long program to build the data infrastructure a country should be able to call its own, in stages that each operate on their own record: regional data facilities under domestic law, public-interest data platforms, interoperability standards put into working service, and the preservation layer for the nation's records — with the ERP as the program's public registry: stages, facilities, services, and accounts in the open for the program's life.
| Project value | $500,000,000 CAD |
|---|---|
| Participant Pool | 10% of net revenue, monthly |
