Sela Network - Decentralized Data Infrastructure

Project highlights

Sela Network is a decentralized DePIN-based data scraping and distribution platform. By leveraging user-installed nodes (Sela Nodes), Sela provides structured, real-time data from platforms such as Twitter, YouTube, and other membership-based web services.

  • Target users: AI developers, DeFi protocols, market analysts, and enterprises that require continuous, trustable, and structured web data.

  • Problem addressed: Traditional Web2 scraping faces IP bans, rate limits, geo-restrictions, and high costs from centralized providers like Bright Data or ScraperAPI. Sela democratizes access to data by decentralizing the scraping infrastructure.

How is it built

  • Languages: Motoko/Rust , TypeScript

  • Architecture:

    • Sela Nodes run on user devices, handling scraping tasks and returning structured data.

    • Canister on Internet Computer store files and allocates rewards.

    • Data Marketplace API serves clients requesting data feeds.

  • Features

    • Type Safety: Full TypeScript implementation with comprehensive type definitions
    • Scalable Job Management: Advanced job queue system with timeout monitoring
    • Reward Distribution: Automated reward calculation and distribution system
    • Blockchain Integration: Internet Computer (ICP) blockchain integration
    • Dual Storage: Redis + Canister storage with automatic synchronization
    • Monitoring & Analytics: Built-in uptime tracking and performance metrics

Go-To-Market strategy

  • Node Operators: Onboard via referral programs and community bounties, lowering the barrier to run a node.

  • Data Consumers: Focus on AI developers, DeFi projects, and research institutions needing structured web data.

  • Partnerships: Early discussions with blockchain ecosystems and potential collaborations with DeFi analytics platforms.

  • Community: Building engagement through Twitter/X, Telegram groups

Monetization

  • Initial phase: Free trial for early partners and beta testers.

  • Commercial phase:

    • Subscription-based access to the data marketplace.

    • Pay-per-scrape pricing for enterprise users.

Resources

Future Plans

  • Expand node coverage to 10,000+ operators by Q1 2026.

  • Support more platforms (Instagram, Telegram, etc).

  • Data client out reach
