What is vana.org?

Vana is an innovative distributed network that revolutionizes the way personal data is managed and utilized in AI systems. Originally developed as an MIT research project in 2018, it has evolved into a comprehensive platform that enables users to maintain ownership of their data while contributing to AI model development.

The platform operates on a non-custodial data model, allowing users to securely store and port their data across applications using wallet-based authentication. Through its Data Liquidity Pools (DLPs), Vana incentivizes data aggregation and cryptographic verification, effectively breaking down traditional data silos while maintaining privacy and user control.
