The Foundation for Decentralized AI
Vana is a distributed network for private, user-owned data, designed to enable user-owned AI. Users own, govern, and earn from the AI models they contribute to. Developers gain access to cross-platform data to power personalized applications and train frontier AI models.
AI models are only as powerful as their training data, which is held by centralized platforms despite being legally owned by each user. Data Liquidity Pools (DLPs) incentivize, aggregate, and cryptographically verify valuable data, liberating data from walled gardens to push the frontiers of AI.
Vana makes data portable and non-custodial. Users log in with their wallet, and all their data is there, just like their funds. This paradigm of non-custodial data allows for next-level experiences, like giving an LLM deep, personal context without compromising privacy.
Vana originated as an MIT research project in 2018, focused on enabling users to own their data and the AI models they create. It is entirely open source and operates as a permissionless, decentralized network. The Open Data Foundation is dedicated to driving mass adoption of the Vana protocol, while other contributing organizations, such as Corsali, focus on research and development.
We believe in an open internet where users own their data and the AI models they contribute to.
We are building towards a user-owned AI foundation model, trained by 100M users who contribute their data and compute.
