Introducing Scout

The internet wasn't built for AI. We're fixing that.

Introducing Scout by Chakra - map the web as you browse.

Climb the leaderboard and help turn the internet into an open, permissionless database.

The Journey of Scout Launch

The release of Scout marks a major milestone in our journey.

First, we built FLOCK - the next-gen data warehouse with best-in-class cost, performance, and developer UX.

Then we launched the Open Data Marketplace - a place to query and exchange mission-critical datasets.

Scout is the next step of our vision: To index the web in a decentralized, community-powered way - surfacing high-signal data for AI.

The web, reimagined as a permissionless database.

Built by everyone. Useful to all.

Our protocol supports:

  • AI developers accessing the right dataset at inference time
  • Small language model (SLM) researchers targeting domain-specific modalities
  • Data practitioners breaking through data siloes
  • End contributors leveraging their bandwidth for collective value
