Data Sovereignty & Monetization
Returning ownership of personal data to the individual. Users control what they share, with whom, and for what price. AI processes data locally or on encrypted compute, ensuring value extraction without privacy sacrifice.
The Three Pillars
Access
Users from anywhere can participate in the data economy. A farmer in Kenya can monetize their soil health data. A gamer in Brazil can sell their playstyle analytics. Access to data markets is no longer gated by geography or corporate affiliation.
Agency
You are the admin of your data vault. Grant read access to specific datasets for specific purposes. Revoke access at will. No more "accept all cookies" dark patterns. Consent is granular, informed, and revocable.
Accountability
Every access is logged. You can see exactly which company queried your health data and when. If they violate the terms, the blockchain provides indisputable evidence for legal recourse. Data brokers operate in the light.
The Technology Stack
Artificial Intelligence
Federated Learning and Homomorphic Encryption allow AI to train on your data without ever seeing it in plaintext. You contribute to a model's improvement and earn royalties when that model is used—all without exposing your raw information.
Automation
Data access requests are processed automatically by smart contracts. If a requester meets your pre-defined criteria (verified identity, pays the listed price, acceptable use case), access is granted. If not, rejected. No human in the loop.
Blockchain
Consent records are stored on-chain. When you grant access, a timestamped entry is created. This forms a global, interoperable "Consent Layer" that GDPR and CCPA auditors can query. Compliance is self-documenting.
