Introducing Membit: The Context Layer for AI

Today, we’re excited to introduce Membit—Band’s latest product and a transformative new layer connecting AI to the living world through real-time Context. But Membit isn’t just a reaction to the current wave of AI hype. Building robust data infrastructure has been at the heart of Band’s DNA since 2017. For years, we’ve been the go-to data solution for Web3 applications worldwide, securing millions of dollars in value across diverse blockchains and ecosystems with an immutable, battle-tested, open data layer. Now, we’re bringing this vision to the next frontier: the AI industry. Our team has been hands-on in the AI space since its earliest days, pouring in knowledge and countless hours to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Every lesson, experiment, and breakthrough has led us here—introducing Membit, our answer to powering AI with the real-time context it needs to understand the world as it happens.

The Problem: Data Staleness

As artificial intelligence becomes more deeply integrated into our daily lives, a critical challenge has emerged: data staleness. Modern AI models often operate on information that is outdated or incomplete, unable to reflect the pace of real-world events, emerging trends, or rapidly shifting conversations happening across the social web. This gap results in AI that is less responsive, less insightful, and less capable of understanding the present moment. More data alone is not the answer. Today, AI training data is often either duplicated or irrelevant, resulting in noise rather than clarity. For AI to move forward, it must have access not just to more information, but to the right information—curated, contextual, and reflective of what is happening now. That's what we referred to as Context.

What Is Membit?

Membit is one of the world’s first Context Layers for AI, an open system designed to anchor artificial intelligence in real-time context, curated directly from online conversations and emerging trends that appear on social media, where real people consume the information.

• Context-as-a-Service: Membit delivers continuously-updated, clustered social data—transforming fragmented discussions into a live, actionable feed for any AI model or agent.
• Community Intelligence: By harnessing the power of collective curation, Membit’s context layer grows richer and more relevant as more people participate, driving a new standard for up-to-the-minute insight.

No more waiting months (or years) for training data to catch up. With Membit, AI developers can instantly integrate real-time context, unlocking next-level performance for:

• AI and agent builders looking for smarter, more responsive models
• Crypto AI and analytics platforms need pulse-quick market sentiment
• Social Intelligence tools and platforms seeking up-to-the-minute insight

Not Just a Trend: Proof of a Years-Long AI Commitment

Membit isn’t Band’s reaction to hype—it’s the culmination of years of relentless, behind-the-scenes innovation. Since 2023, Band’s co-founders, Paul Napatsiri and Swit, have been quietly building and experimenting with advanced AI tools designed to solve real-world challenges. From groundbreaking open-source projects like BlockAGI and LLFn, to private initiatives such as our Automated Trading Bot and advanced fine-tuning of language models, we’ve consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. This journey proves that Band has always been about building practical, next-gen AI solutions—even before it became the mainstream narrative.
