About Vana

Vana is a Layer 1 blockchain network designed to be compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), focusing on the transformation of personal data into financial assets. By aggregating private datasets for the purpose of training artificial intelligence models, Vana enables individuals to tokenize their data and monetize it through the establishment of Data Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (Data DAOs). This framework empowers users with ownership and control over their digital information, allowing them to navigate the evolving landscape of data privacy and monetization. A key feature of Vana is its Data Liquidity Pools (DLPs), where users can contribute their data, which is subsequently validated and tokenized to create data tokens that represent ownership and intrinsic value. To maintain the quality and integrity of the data within the network, Vana implements a Proof-of-Contribution system that ensures all submissions meet established standards. Participants in the ecosystem, including data contributors, validators, and DLP creators, are incentivized through the distribution of $VANA tokens, fostering an environment of active engagement and high-quality data provision.
