The launch of the world's first data DAO, specifically focusing on Reddit data, has been announced on the Vana network. Known as @rdatadao, this innovative platform allows Reddit users to pool, govern, and potentially monetize their data by rewarding them with tokens that represent their ownership. In addition to enabling users to harness and sell the data they generate, the DAO offers incentives for contributors providing data, computation, and AI models. This initiative aims to empower users to manage their data more effectively, with options for contributing and voting on its use, including renting it out to AI companies for model training. Supported by cross-app embedded wallets 𝇊, the launch of @rdatadao is part of a broader movement towards a decentralized internet that puts data control back into the hands of users, allowing them to earn points onchain based on their karma. This development is seen as a significant step forward in the utilization of public data for AI model training by large tech companies.
