Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the launch of the 62nd project on its Launchpool platform: Vana (VANA). This blockchain project aims to revolutionize data ownership, sharing, and monetization.
What is Vana?
Vana is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain designed to give users control over their personal data. Unlike traditional models where large tech companies own and profit from data, Vana aims to shift the power back to individuals. With DataDAOs, Vana allows users to securely contribute, tokenize, and share their data while preserving full ownership and privacy. The platform employs advanced cryptographic techniques such as Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) and Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to ensure data privacy and security.
How Does Vana Work?
Vana’s platform operates through key steps: Data Contribution, Data Tokenization, and Earning. Users contribute various data types into a DataDAO, where it is encrypted for privacy and security. The data is tokenized, enabling usage in decentralized applications and earning rewards. Vana also offers users governance rights, allowing them to vote on data usage and transform personal data into a monetizable asset. According to Vana, their protocol addresses a critical need in the AI sector that requires vast amounts of data for training models.
Vana's Launchpool on Binance
Starting December 14, Binance users can participate in Vana’s Launchpool project by locking BNB and FDUSD to earn VANA airdrops over two days. The farming event runs until December 15, 2024, with VANA trading on Binance from December 16. The total VANA supply is capped at 120 million tokens, with 4.8 million distributed as Launchpool rewards. Vana will be listed with trading pairs including USDT, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY.
The launch of Vana on Binance's Launchpool offers users the opportunity to engage in a data management revolution, providing avenues for data monetization, governance, and secure sharing.
