Data portability now has an economy. Every time a person's data moves on Vana, with their permission, the network is paid. One grant, read again and again. A split written into the protocol. I wrote up how it works, and why it's built the way it is.

Data portability now has an economy

For most of its life, Vana earned in one way. Many people pooled their data into collectives, and the network was paid when those pooled datasets were accessed. That built the network. But the market

Since 2022, Korea has had one of the most comprehensive data portability laws in the world. It started with banking under MyData, and now millions of Koreans move their financial data between apps. By 2027, every sector in Korea, public and private, has to let your data move when you ask. The law is in effect. Implementation is the open question. Moving data safely, with your permission every time, at the speed people and their AIs need, takes technology that did not exist. Vana solves this. With Linux Foundation ConsenSys to discuss Trust, we created the world standard for personal data portability, and it's live. On 2 October, we're bringing the right people into one room in Seoul: the @lfdecentralized and @MetaMask on how Web3 can be applied beyond financial use cases. To our Korean community and everyone at KBW: RSVP below. Spots are stritctly limited. _____ ํ•œ๊ตญ์€ ๋†€๋ž๊ฒŒ๋„ ์„ธ๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฌ๊ด„์ ์ธ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ด๋™๊ถŒ ์ œ๋„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ–์ถ˜ ๋‚˜๋ผ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2022๋…„ ๊ธˆ์œต ๋งˆ์ด๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์‹œ์ž‘์œผ๋กœ, ์ด์ œ๋Š” ์ˆ˜๋งŽ์€ ์‚ฌ๋žŒ์ด ์•ฑ์„ ์˜ค๊ฐ€๋ฉฐ ๊ธˆ์œต ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์˜ฎ๊ธฐ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2027๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ๊ณต๊ณต๊ณผ ๋ฏผ๊ฐ„์„ ๊ฐ€๋ฆฌ์ง€ ์•Š๊ณ  ๋ชจ๋“  ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ, ๋‚ด๊ฐ€ ์š”์ฒญํ•˜๋ฉด ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์˜ฎ๊ฒจ์ค„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์–ด์•ผํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค ๋ฒ•์€ ์ด๋ฏธ ์‹œํ–‰ ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ด€๊ฑด์€ ๊ตฌํ˜„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งค๋ฒˆ ๋ณธ์ธ ๋™์˜๋ฅผ ๊ฑฐ์น˜๋ฉด์„œ๋„, ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๊ณผ AI๊ฐ€ ์š”๊ตฌํ•˜๋Š” ์†๋„๋กœ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ๋ฅผ ์•ˆ์ „ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์˜ฎ๊ธฐ๋ ค๋ฉด ๊ธฐ์กด์— ์—†๋˜ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ”๋‚˜๊ฐ€ ๊ทธ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ๋งŒ๋“ค์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฆฌ๋ˆ…์Šค ์žฌ๋‹จ ์‚ฐํ•˜ LF Decentralized Trust์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ๊ฐœ์ธ ๋ฐ์ดํ„ฐ ์ด๋™์˜ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ํ‘œ์ค€์„ ์ •๋ฆฝํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์ด๋ฏธ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์“ฐ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 10์›” 2์ผ, ์„œ์šธ์—์„œ ๋ฆฌ๋ˆ…์Šค ์žฌ๋‹จ, ํ•œ๊ตญ์€ํ–‰, ์ปจ์„ผ์‹œ์Šค ๊ด€๊ณ„์ž๋“ค์ด ํ•œ์ž๋ฆฌ์— ๋ชจ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ธˆ์œต ๋„ˆ๋จธ์˜ Web3 ํ™œ์šฉ ๋ฐฉ์•ˆ์„ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•œ๊ตญ ์ปค๋ฎค๋‹ˆํ‹ฐ์™€ KBW ์ฐธ๊ฐ€์ž ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„, ์•„๋ž˜ ๋งํฌ์—์„œ ์ฐธ๊ฐ€ ์‹ ์ฒญํ•ด ์ฃผ์„ธ์š”. ์ž๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•œ์ •๋˜์–ด์žˆ์–ด ์กฐ๊ธฐ๋งˆ๊ฐ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Expanded staking is officially LIVE as part of the Vega upgrade! The Vana network has always earned when pooled datasets were accessed. As of the Vega upgrade, it also earns every time one person's data moves. You let an app see some of your data. That is a "permission": you choose what it can see, and you can take it back whenever you want. Every time the app reads that data, it is a "read", and each read incurs a network fee. An app that checks your data once a day is 365 reads a year from one permission. Applications on the network have produced 2,937,447 verified reads since data portability was enabled, and 1,532,201 of those came last week alone. Every fee is split 60/20/20. 60% goes to the people staking into the infrastructure that moves the data. 20% buys VANA on the open market and burns it. 20% funds builders. Staking rewards are paid from these fees. Want to find out more? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Sick of copying and pasting context between AIs? V got you. That's what the Vana CLI is for. Collect your data, run your own Personal Server, and let AI tools read from it. Only five commands to spin it up. npm install -g vana-cli vana login vana connect github vana connect chatgpt claude mcp add vana -- vana mcp Then your data goes wherever you go. Any AI you use can read your context, from any source you've connected - all from your Personal Server, on hardware you control and under keys only you hold. Stop the server any time [vana server stop], and no app can reach your data until you start it again. ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ‘‡

"I think that so many times when you're building an application, you want access to kind of let a user come in and provide a lot of context about themselves... And so, how do you get that right context in? And often it's through letting people kind of port their data in." - @annakaz In case you missed it: x.lingyaoai.com/i/spaces/1NxarokVdERKj

It's official: Vana is a member of @lfdecentralized, announced today alongside @swiftcommunity and @WellsFargo. The Linux Foundation hosts the standards the internet runs on. The standard for how personal data moves is now one of them.

The Vega upgrade is live, as set out in the January roadmap. Four things to know. 1. AI models are pretty good now. What sets one apart is context: what the model knows about the person asking. AI tools and agents look that up thousands of times a day. Every one of those lookups is your data moving. That is data portability. 2. On the internet, your data moves instantly. It moves between platforms without you in the loop. Vana moves your data where you choose and keeps your permission on record. The Vega upgrade brings that to the same speed: about a twentieth of a second. 3. Governments need the same thing. Most countries have laws that allow you to take your data with you. Almost none had a working way to do it until Vana wrote the standard for how personal data moves. It is now hosted by the Linux Foundation, and governments globally are already scoping national implementations. 4. The Vana network has always earned when pooled datasets were accessed. As of the Vega upgrade, it also earns every time one person's data moves. Every data portability transaction pays the network. Someone moves their data to an app. The app reads it. The network earns.

We were honoured to brief Her Excellency Inรชs Maria de Almeida, Ambassador of Timor-Leste to Australia on AI, data governance and security, and what sovereignty means for Timor-Leste in a digital world. Timor-Leste won its independence in 2002 after a generation of struggle. On 28 July this year, H.E. Prime Minister Xanana Gusmรฃo inaugurated the country's first international subsea internet cable. It connects Timor-Leste to Australia and the world. A new chapter, and new questions for a young nation: its data, its language, its future, in a world that AI is changing rapidly. Our thanks to the Ambassador and the team for the invitation and the leadership. Vana looks forward to an ongoing collaboration with Timor-Leste and our other sovereign partners on these issues of national importance.
