Vana：数据主权开放协议

Vana 致力于引领这一变革，作为第一个为数据主权而设计的开放协议，开创数据经济的新时代。

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.

过去二十年，个人数据逐渐成为互联网经济的核心货币。用户在享受免费服务的同时，往往会不经意地将数据控制权转移给平台。这些平台通过定向广告和数据交易，获得了巨大的经济效益。随着人工智能技术的快速发展，私人数据已成为驱动人工智能世界的关键资源。然而，这个生态系统存在两个显着的矛盾：数据生产者——个人——往往无法获得经济回报；而人工智能研究人员在获取高质量数据集方面面临挑战。

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.

互联网的早期愿景是建立一个开放的生态系统，让用户可以完全控制自己的数据。然而，随着云基础设施的激增和免费服务的便利，平台逐渐垄断了数字身份的管理，构建了中心化的数据经济。这种情况显然背离了互联网最初的设计意图。

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，有两种变革力量正在挑战现有的数据垄断：一方面，人工智能的快速发展导致个人数据价值呈指数级增长；另一方面，人工智能的快速发展导致个人数据价值呈指数级增长。另一方面，去中心化技术的兴起为个人提供了重新控制数据的新工具。 Vana 致力于引领这一变革，作为第一个为数据主权而设计的开放协议，开创数据经济的新时代。

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是一条兼容EVM的AI公链，专注于用户主权数据的管理和治理。其核心目标是建立一个分布式网络，让用户不仅可以拥有和治理自己贡献的数据，还可以通过数据资产化直接获利。 Vana不仅赋予用户对数据的掌控权，还为开发者提供合规、优质的数据资源，打造共赢的生态。

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利用私钥权限管理来保证数据的可移植性和可控性，挑战Web2时代中心化平台的垄断，构建一个消除中介机构、为所有参与者创造公平价值的去中心化数据市场。

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.

通过Vana的技术和生态设计，个人数据价值的实现从被动转向主动。 Vana不仅挑战了Web2时代的中心化垄断，延伸了中心化平台的网络效应，也为数据经济带来了更加公平、透明、高效的未来。

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.

与传统数字资产不同，数据的经济价值依赖于受控访问。数据一旦公开，其市场价值就会迅速贬值。传统区块链强调公开验证，不适合处理私有数据。 Vana 通过将私有数据托管与公共所有权架构相结合，成功解决了这个问题。

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

Vana 维护着一个全球国家网络，确保数据所有权、质量验证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.

- 数据始终加密并存储在安全环境或用户的个人服务器中，平台以编程方式控制访问权限并确保收入返还给数据创建者。

- 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.

- 用户可以导出数据，通过加密保护数据，并加入名为 DataDAO 的数据集体。通过这些集体，用户与研究人员或开发人员协商数据的商业使用，确保贡献者获得合理的补偿。

- 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.

- 每个DataDAO根据其数据类型定制贡献证明，通过以下指标（包括但不限于）衡量数据价值：数据量、数据质量、数据敏感性、数据时效性。

- 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.

- 数据验证由Satya网络完成，该网络由可信执行环境（TEE）组成，可以在保护隐私的同时提供数据质量验证。此外，一些 DataDAO 使用零知识证明（zk-proofs）来进一步增强隐私和安全性。

- 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.

- 当开发人员购买数据访问权限时，贡献者通过治理代币获得按比例的补偿。这种机制保证了数据贡献者能够从数据使用中获得持续的经济回报。

- 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.

- 贡献者拥有决策权并参与数据使用的治理。数据市场通过激励高质量的数据贡献，实现公平定价、提高效率。
