Group friend @victoria has joined @withvana, and I was invited to discuss this project that previously gained attention due to a genetic testing company selling data.
Speaking of which, VANA is a project similar in logic to @StoryProtocol. Story created a chain, set up a liquidity model, and issued tokens for IP.
To be honest, what exactly is VANA?
VANA has created a chain, set up a liquidity model, and issues tokens to users for their data.
This narrative has been around since 2018. During the DeFi era, there was a major mining project called BDP that claimed to trade data, which was later collapsed by Brother Sun. It's 2024, how can there still be institutions buying into this?
I don't believe it myself until DeSci emerged.
The so-called DeSci is a way to use falsehoods to achieve truth. It conceptually "acquires" something that truly exists using assets created from nothing. Whether this asset "exists" or not is unimportant; what matters is whether people recognize it. For those in the crypto space, consensus/narrative > substance.
What VANA is doing can be simply described as creating a zero-cost platform, or more accurately, "a bunch" — each data type is a separate zero-cost platform, called DLP (Data Liquidity Pool).
Here’s the key point: each DLP is a separate token. Users can submit their data file packages, allowing VANA's privacy computing nodes to score their data without leaking or decrypting it. Once done, you can earn tokens.
Each DLP has different scoring criteria. For example, HealthDAO focuses on the freshness, measurement frequency, and accuracy of your health data. RedditDAO looks at your engagement on Reddit, account longevity, and interaction metrics.
VANA's official selling points explained here are:
A data wall has been established; Web2 companies can only buy data from VANA, allowing VANA to share profits with users.
It solves the problem of "once data is public, it loses market value," overcoming the "double spending" issue of data.
But this clearly isn't speaking in plain language, underestimating the high intelligence of the crypto community.
VANA has two hidden agendas:
- The $VANA token is the gas for this L1 and the main trading pair; all VANA DLP split pools are priced in $VANA. Friends familiar with the three-pool theory and @virtuals_io should understand the value here.
But that's not all.
- Ordinary public chains have no angle for project split pools; in this version, whether it's a forced meme coin or an application coin, there's no angle and no one plays.
But remember my evaluation of DeSci — borrowing falsehoods to achieve truth, concept acquisition.
When VANA has enough Reddit users declaring they provided data, the $RDAT they receive can be the "Reddit coin."
When VANA has enough Google users declaring they provided data, the tokens they receive can be the "Google coin."
You say the official doesn't acknowledge this? Ha, they can't stop what users do; with incentives, users will definitely participate. Just look at $WLD selling iris data. You say organ donations are insufficient; could it be because organs lack AMM and LP rewards?
Furthermore, brands don't deny it either. No interaction? You can solve that with money. If big brands can't, smaller ones should be fine, right? Pornhub, Ashley Madison (don't Google it).
On the surface, this is a boring data story supported by VCs, but fundamentally it's a wildly speculative small project + PumpFun, provided the project team knows how to play the secondary market or marketing well.
Let's not ask if you want to gamble; let's ask if you want to earn tokens?
Exactly~
