Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange, announced the 62nd project on its Launchpool platform: Vana (VANA). This blockchain project aims to revolutionize how data is owned, shared, and monetized.
What is Vana?
Vana is a decentralized Layer 1 blockchain designed to give users control over their personal data. This project aims to shift power back to individuals, allowing them to control their data and receive rewards for its use. Through DataDAOs, Vana enables secure data contribution, tokenization, and sharing, maintaining full ownership and privacy. The platform uses blockchain technology to ensure transparency and security, allowing users to participate in decentralized governance. Vana also employs cryptographic techniques like Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Trusted Execution Environments for data privacy.
How Does Vana Work?
Vana's platform operates through key steps. Initially, users contribute various data types to a DataDAO. All data is encrypted for security. Then, the data is tokenized and used in decentralized applications, notably in AI model development. Users not only share data but have governance rights, voting on its use. Additionally, when data is utilized, contributors share profits, making data an economic asset.
Vana's Launchpool on Binance
Starting December 14, Binance users will participate in Vana’s Launchpool project. Users can lock BNB and FDUSD to earn VANA airdrops over two days. The maximum supply is 120 million tokens, with 4.8 million distributed as Launchpool rewards. Binance will offer VANA for trading with USDT, BNB, FDUSD, and TRY pairs.
Vana promises to transform data usage and monetization, drawing interest from major tech and crypto players. Its launch on Binance marks a significant step toward achieving these ambitious goals.
