Vana is a project that aims to create a user-owned AI platform dedicated to solving the data shortage currently facing the AI industry. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, data has become a key resource for training AI models, but traditional data sources (such as public Internet data) have tended to dry up, and AI researchers have encountered the so-called "data wall."
Vana's goal is to allow users to control and manage their own data in a decentralized manner, and to aggregate this data through a data DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) to provide it to AI developers. This not only increases the accessibility of data, but also ensures that data contributors receive rewards for it. The official said in the press release:
"Vana is the first network designed for private, user-owned data. It consists of an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine)-compatible Layer 1 blockchain and is specifically designed for the collective ownership of private digital assets. These private data will Powering the future of AI, the network also natively supports data aggregation through data DAO and rewards the top 16 data liquidity pools.”
TG Mini Program Pre-mining Activity
Currently, Vana is preheating the project through a mini program on the communication platform Telegram. Users can earn tokens through click-to-play games or complete designated tasks to receive token rewards.
