Data NFTs and datatokens are the interface to connect data assets with blockchain and DeFi tools. Crypto wallets become data wallets, crypto exchanges become data marketplaces, DAOs for data co-ops, and more via DeFi composability. It’s “data legos”.
Data {tokens, wallets, assets, marketplaces}
DAOs for data co-ops
The data itself does not need to be on-chain, just the access control.
DataUnions are a powerful way for communities to collaborate in a particular field or sector. They offer brand new opportunities to mobilise and reward groups to produce AI algorithm ready data sets.
All participants benefit from the value creation within these DataUnions. Forging a new path towards creating inclusive and responsible AI for future generations
Active DataUnions
Participate first-hand in the world’s first proof-of-concept data unions. Explore bringing sovereignty to Nature, or ridding the world of plastic with data enrichment & AI.
180Protocol is an application framework for the next generation of enterprise software. It is a foundational infrastructure for applications owned by their users. Apps that ensure privacy, reward their users, and drive new opportunities to deliver benefit for all.
Enterprise data has been estimated to be worth $21 trillion. Unlocking this value has been a challenge, until now.

Data Unions draw their members’ data into a productizable pool of information. When those data sets are purchased by data buyers, both the DU Operators (DUOs) and their members get paid. Share and Earn.
Payments to members and DUOs are made in $USDC and platform activity is underpinned by $POOL, the ERC-20 token which sits at the heart of the Pool service model.
1. Data Your Way
Data Buyers have the ability to mix, match and combine streams of data to fit their needs and suggest prices back to DU Operators.
2. Data Governance and ESG Compliance
All data on Pool’s marketplace will be GDPR compliant and sourced with explicit consent, which means for the first time the global community of data buyers will have sustainable products to build on, and, data which they can utilise without fear of public or regulatory backlash.
3. Rich Query Engine
Pool is building a Query-to-Data engine allowing analytics to be executed on data sets from multiple Data Unions simultaneously. When scaled, this will become ‘Google for Business’: a simple analytical front-end which can answer any analytical question a business might have.

Pool’s purpose is to redistribute power and value in the data economy. We will do this by creating technological infrastructure which gives control back to creators of data, allowing them to be remunerated whenever they choose to share information. tech WP

Data unions
What is a data union? // https://docs.dataunions.org/getting-started/intro-to-data-unions
A Data Union is an organization with an application where individuals participate in the creation of valuable data. Members generate data through the data unions’ application which crowdsources data. That data is offered as a product on a marketplace for potential buyers. The money from data sales is used to reward its members for providing valuable data.
Why build a data union?
With a data union you enable your users to be included in earning value from their data.
By building a Data Union, your users are incentivized to use your app as they are rewarded with tokens for sharing their data through your app.
Building a data union is a great way to collect datasets that may otherwise be difficult to source. Some examples include real-time health data, web user data, pollution monitoring, smart city data and more.
Existing data unions
Here are three real-life examples of what a Data Union could look like:
💻 Swash — a browser extension that monetizes browsing data.
🚙 DIMO — an IoT device and app for smart cars that monetizes vehicle data.
🏦 Unbanx — a mobile app that monetizes banking data.
DIMO is an open source, community governed platform for IoT devices. It is built by combining the best aspects of traditional distributed web2 technologies with decentralized data validity and security provided by a companion blockchain.
At its heart is an ecosystem of streaming technologies including MQTT, Streamr and Kafka, distributed hosting technologies like Kubernetes and Docker, and data storage technologies such IPFS and S3. docs/overview/intro
companion blockchain!?)
DIMO currently utilizes a companion blockchain, currently Ethereum and Polygon. The blockchain provides users and devices with secure digital identities, verified data linking and lookup capabilities. By referencing produced data to an on-chain identity, we are able to create a ground truth state of the network.
will enable decentralization as the platform grows.
It is very important for DIMO that the platform is hosted in a manner which guarantees high uptime, great user experience, and rapid development.Today, the application is hosted on Kubernetes utilizing major cloud providers. Kubernetes allows the web2 and web3 components which are not yet decentralized to be run by DIMO Web Services team, and will enable decentralization as the platform grows.
cold-data storage.
IPFSDIMO plans to leverage IPFS for storing device data. At the current time IPFS has a limited role to play in cold-data storage.
All the data that is captured by Re-Public’s native apps goes into your own End-To-End Encrypted cloud storage. Re-Public can’t see your data, and we don’t want to.

How data can be used?
BigDataExchange (BDE) is an auction-style marketplace dedicated to facilitate storage of important public data on the decentralized web, powered by IPFS and Filecoin. It aims to create:
An innovative storage platform to incentivize more people to source, migrate, and store valuable public data on Filecoin
A transparent marketplace to connect Fil+ clients and storage providers, adding visibility to the SP selection process and preventing potential self-dealing activities
An index of public data stored on Filecoin, which paves the way to a vibrant retrieval and service market for Fil+ deals
