what's Vana?
Vana is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain protocol designed for data sovereignty, enabling users to own, contribute, and monetize their data through Data Collectives and DataDAOs. Users can participate in data liquidity pools, such as those for Reddit or Twitter data, to earn rewards while maintaining control over their personal information, which powers high-quality datasets for AI model training. The native token VANA facilitates network operations including staking for security, governance voting, transaction fees, DataDAO engagement, and purchasing data access. Key infrastructure includes the Vana App for seamless data portability across platforms, and DataDex, a decentralized exchange built on Uniswap V3 architecture for trading VANA and data-specific tokens, fostering an open data economy.
