Dear RSS3 Community,

It's great to reconnect with you through our community letter—and this one is particularly special. As you read this letter, RSS3 has officially marked a major milestone: four years of continuous innovation and growth. Today, we're proud to be the largest provider of structured, AI-ready data across Web1, Web2, and Web3, and we're just getting started.

Here’s what we accomplished in an exciting first quarter of 2025.

Most Important Metric

• Number of Requests: 398,932,791

Our Progress

• RSS3 x Hugging Face: We are powering the future of AI with the first decentralized, verifiable Web3 dataset on Hugging Face.

  • AI-Ready & Structured: The dataset includes author handles, post content, media links (with MIME types), unique IDs, and timestamps—fully structured and optimized for machine learning pipelines.
  • Real-Time & Transparent: Data is parsed and streamed in real-time via 80+ decentralized RSS3 Nodes, including one operated by Google, ensuring transparency and ownership integrity.
  • Open Access & Innovation: Enables open, seamless access to data from platforms like Farcaster and Lens, removing traditional API limits and supporting cutting-edge AI and agentic applications.
  • Developer Support: SDKs, frameworks, and grants are available via the Open Information Initiative to help developers build with the RSS3 data layer.

  📂Dataset on Hugging Face

• RSS3 is supporting Fungi re their upcoming Fungi Studio, where RSS3 will be integrated as a core data layer. This powerful tool will enable users to access, aggregate, and organize blockchain data with ease—unlocking new possibilities for creation, innovation, and the agentic economy.

• $RSS3 token is now bridgeable and tradable on Base 🔗 Visit Base

• RSS3 x Load Network (previously weaveVM): a copy of RSS3’s Value Sublayer (VSL) is now on Load Network, via their permanent, decentralized ledger storage on Arweave.

  • Data Availability: Ensures that chain history is always accessible—eliminating the risk of data or fund loss even if other systems fail.
  • Trustless & Transparent: Strengthens the verifiability and resilience of RSS3’s VSL, making it more robust for long-term agentic and AI applications.

• RSS3 data to. be integrated into HeyAnon, enabling structured, AI-ready data support across Web1, Web2, and Web3 environments. This integration contributes to the technical foundation of agentic applications.

• Milestone: Staked $RSS3 has officially exceeded 200 million—further solidifying the largest decentralized and verifiable data network powering AI models and agents.

• RSS3 x Virtuals Protocol: RSS3’s AI Data Infrastructure (DSL) is now integrated with Virtuals’ open-source G.A.M.E. framework for building autonomous AI agents.

  • Real-Time, Verifiable Data: Agents built with G.A.M.E. can now access real-time, structured, and verifiable data from RSS3—across Web1, Web2, and Web3.
  • Decentralized Architecture: Powered by 92 fully decentralized nodes (including one operated by Google), RSS3 provides a trustless data layer for AI applications.
  • Open Source Launch: The G.A.M.E. framework is now open-sourced for developers to explore and build upon.🔗 https://github.com/game-by-virtuals

• RSS3 x NEAR Protocol Integration Highlights: RSS3’s data infrastructure is integrated into the NEAR ecosystem to support decentralized innovation.

  • Liquid Staking Support: Integration with NEAR’s LiNEAR brings liquid staking capabilities, enhancing staking and liquidity opportunities.
  • DeFi Parsing: RSS3 provides structured data parsing to support the development of more robust DeFi applications on NEAR.
  • Community Collaboration: NEAR’s social hub, NEAR.social, gains access to structured and standardized data via RSS3—boosting connectivity and collaboration across the community.

• Podcast Feature: RSS3 on Web3 with Sam Kamani. In Episode 232 of Web3 with Sam Kamani, Joshua shared why RSS3 is building a decentralized, AI-native content infrastructure—described as a “Google for Web3.” The discussion covered how RSS3 structures Web1, Web2, and Web3 data in real time, empowers developers to operate monetizable nodes, and works to preserve openness in both the AI and Web ecosystems. 🎧 Listen on Spotify →

Some Comments

Turning four years old is not just about reflecting on how far we’ve come—it’s about re-energizing for the road ahead. The open web and decentralized AI ecosystems are evolving rapidly, and RSS3 remains at the very heart of this exciting shift.

Behind these four amazing years are countless moments of innovation, collaboration, and shared passion. None of this would have been possible without you, the RSS3 community. Your unwavering belief in openness, transparency, and decentralization has turned a vision into reality.

Thank you for being part of our story—here’s to many more extraordinary years together.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Zoe and the RSS3 Foundation
