Vana：資料主權開放協議

Vana 致力於引領這項變革，作為第一個為資料主權而設計的開放協議，開創資料經濟的新時代。

In the past two decades, personal data has gradually become the core currency of the internet economy. Users, while enjoying free services, often inadvertently transfer data control to platforms. These platforms, through targeted advertising and data trading, have gained enormous economic benefits. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, private data has become a key resource driving the AI-powered world. However, there are two significant contradictions in this ecosystem: data producers—individuals—often cannot receive economic returns; while AI researchers face challenges in acquiring high-quality datasets.

過去二十年，個人資料逐漸成為網路經濟的核心貨幣。用戶在享受免費服務的同時，往往會不經意地將資料控制權轉移給平台。這些平台透過定向廣告和數據交易，獲得了巨大的經濟效益。隨著人工智慧技術的快速發展，私人資料已成為驅動人工智慧世界的關鍵資源。然而，這個生態系統存在兩個顯著的矛盾：數據生產者──個人──往往無法獲得經濟回報；而人工智慧研究人員在獲取高品質數據集方面面臨挑戰。

The early vision of the internet was to establish an open ecosystem where users could fully control their own data. However, with the proliferation of cloud infrastructure and the convenience of free services, platforms have gradually monopolized the management of digital identities, constructing a centralized data economy. This situation clearly deviates from the original design intent of the internet.

網路的早期願景是建立一個開放的生態系統，讓使用者可以完全控制自己的資料。然而，隨著雲端基礎設施的激增和免費服務的便利，平台逐漸壟斷了數位身分的管理，建構了中心化的資料經濟。這種情況顯然背離了網路最初的設計意圖。

Today, two transformative forces are challenging the existing data monopoly: on one hand, the rapid development of AI has led to an exponential increase in the value of personal data; on the other hand, the rise of decentralized technologies provides individuals with new tools to regain control over their data. Vana is committed to leading this transformation, as the first open protocol designed for data sovereignty, ushering in a new era of the data economy.

如今，有兩種變革力量正在挑戰現有的資料壟斷：一方面，人工智慧的快速發展導致個人資料價值呈指數級增長；另一方面，人工智慧的快速發展導致個人資料價值呈指數級增長。另一方面，去中心化技術的興起為個人提供了重新控制資料的新工具。 Vana 致力於引領這項變革，作為第一個為資料主權而設計的開放協議，開創資料經濟的新時代。

Vana is an EVM-compatible AI public chain focused on the management and governance of user sovereign data. Its core goal is to establish a distributed network that allows users not only to own and govern the data they contribute but also to profit directly through data assetization. Vana not only empowers users with control over their data but also provides developers with compliant and high-quality data resources, creating a win-win ecosystem.

Vana是一條與EVM相容的AI公鏈，專注於使用者主權資料的管理和治理。其核心目標是建立一個分散式網絡，讓使用者不僅可以擁有和治理自己貢獻的數據，還可以透過數據資產化直接獲利。 Vana不僅讓使用者掌控自己的數據，也為開發者提供合規、優質的數據資源，打造共贏的生態。

Vana utilizes private key permission management to ensure data portability and control, challenging the monopoly of centralized platforms in the Web2 era, building a decentralized data market that eliminates intermediaries and creates fair value for all participants.

Vana利用私鑰權限管理來確保資料的可移植性和可控性，挑戰Web2時代中心化平台的壟斷，建構一個消除中介機構、為所有參與者創造公平價值的去中心化資料市場。

Through Vana's technology and ecological design, the realization of personal data value shifts from passive to active. Vana not only challenges the centralized monopoly of the Web2 era, extending the network effects of centralized platforms but also brings a fairer, more transparent, and efficient future to the data economy.

透過Vana的技術和生態設計，個人資料價值的實現從被動轉向主動。 Vana不僅挑戰了Web2時代的中心化壟斷，延伸了中心化平台的網路效應，也為資料經濟帶來了更公平、更透明、更有效率的未來。

Unlike traditional digital assets, the economic value of data relies on controlled access. Once data is made public, its market value rapidly depreciates. Traditional blockchains, which emphasize public verification, are not suitable for handling private data. Vana successfully addresses this issue by combining private data hosting with public ownership architecture.

與傳統數位資產不同，數據的經濟價值依賴受控存取。數據一旦公開，其市場價值就會迅速貶值。傳統區塊鏈強調公開驗證，不適合處理私有資料。 Vana 透過將私人資料託管與公共所有權架構結合，成功解決了這個問題。

Vana maintains a global state network that ensures transparency in data ownership, quality verification, and revenue distribution. Its core functions include:

Vana 維護一個全球國家網絡，確保資料所有權、品質驗證和收入分配的透明度。其核心功能包括：

- Data is always encrypted and stored in secure environments or users' personal servers, with the platform programmatically controlling access permissions and ensuring that revenue is returned to data creators.

- 資料始終加密並儲存在安全環境或使用者的個人伺服器中，平台以程式方式控制存取權限並確保收入返還給資料建立者。

- Users can export their data, protect it with encryption, and join a data collective called DataDAO. Through these collectives, users negotiate the commercial use of data with researchers or developers, ensuring contributors receive reasonable compensation.

- 使用者可以匯出數據，透過加密保護數據，並加入名為 DataDAO 的資料集合。透過這些集體，使用者與研究人員或開發人員協商資料的商業使用，確保貢獻者獲得合理的補償。

- Each DataDAO customizes proof of contribution based on its data type, measuring data value through the following indicators (including but not limited to): data volume, data quality, data sensitivity, and data timeliness.

- 每個DataDAO根據其資料類型客製化貢獻證明，透過以下指標（包括但不限於）來衡量資料價值：資料量、資料品質、資料敏感度、資料時效性。

- Data verification is completed by the Satya network, which consists of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) that can provide data quality verification while protecting privacy. Additionally, some DataDAOs use zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) to further enhance privacy and security.

- 資料驗證由Satya網路完成，該網路由可信任執行環境（TEE）組成，可在保護隱私的同時提供資料品質驗證。此外，一些 DataDAO 使用零知識證明（zk-proofs）來進一步增強隱私和安全性。

- When developers purchase data access, contributors receive proportional compensation through governance tokens. This mechanism ensures that data contributors can obtain continuous economic returns from data usage.

- 當開發人員購買資料存取權時，貢獻者透過治理代幣獲得按比例的補償。這種機制保證了數據貢獻者能夠從數據使用中獲得持續的經濟回報。

- Contributors have decision-making power and participate in the governance of data usage. The data market achieves fair pricing and improved efficiency by incentivizing high-quality data contributions.

- 貢獻者擁有決策權並參與資料使用的治理。數據市場透過激勵高品質的數據貢獻，實現公平定價、提高效率。
