[Edaily Reporter Park Jung-Soo ] Kweather Co., Ltd.(068100)announced on the 30th that it has established the world’s first weather data marketplace for AI agents using AIVM (AI Virtual Machine), a next-generation blockchain technology.
Recently, the global big tech industry has been actively developing Agent AI that can make judgments and perform tasks autonomously without human intervention. Kweather Co., Ltd. has built a data infrastructure that enables Agent AI to predict climate risks based on weather data and make autonomous decisions.
AIVM is a next-generation blockchain technology that supports AI agent computations and automatically distributes rewards based on task completion. The company explained that by utilizing this technology, it has implemented a weather data trading environment suitable for an AI-based economic ecosystem.
Kweather Co., Ltd. first recorded real-time weather information and forecast data for the world’s 4,255 most populous cities and 3,561 statutory neighborhoods in South Korea on the blockchain in a form that cannot be forged or altered. Through this, the company established a revenue structure whereby royalties are automatically paid to Kweather Co., Ltd. whenever AI agents utilize this data to perform tasks.
AI agents are designed to conduct transactions using stablecoins—whose value remains stable in accordance with blockchain standards—and to process payments autonomously based on pre-set conditions.
Kweather Co., Ltd. plans to operate a weather data marketplace for AI agents, focusing on global markets such as climate tech, smart cities, and insurance, while also pursuing technology validation and pilot projects domestically. Key application areas include real-time weather information for autonomous vehicles, wind power output control, smart agriculture based on soil moisture analysis, and logistics services utilizing temperature monitoring during transportation.
Kim Dong-sik, CEO of Kweather Co., Ltd., stated, “The establishment of this infrastructure is highly significant as it lays the groundwork for AI agents to automatically utilize highly reliable weather data,” adding, “We will grow into a trusted weather service provider in the global market, transcending the limitations of the traditional weather industry.”
