Vana ($VANA) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain that transforms personal data into tradable financial assets, enabling users to securely monetize their private data through data DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and innovative proof-of-proof mechanisms such as Proof of Contribution. By aggregating and validating data through Data Flow Pools (DLP), Vana can train AI models while ensuring data privacy and user ownership. $VANA tokens are the foundation of the ecosystem and facilitate trading, staking, and governance. Vana is focused on creating a new data token asset class that bridges Web2 and Web3 with the aim of revolutionizing data ownership and the AI economy.
