Activating User-Owned Data in SocialFi
#icp is pushing decentralized social platforms where users control their identity and interactions. #TON is bringing Web3 directly into Telegram’s massive social network. Both point toward the future of SocialFi — but there’s still a gap: AI systems continue to profit from user data without giving anything back.
That’s where Vana steps in. Social platforms train their algorithms on your behavior, but Vana flips the model by letting you own that data and turn it into a real asset.
In simple terms, here’s how it works:
Your identity becomes portable — you can export your social history into a Vana account linked to storage you control, like Google Drive. Your data starts working for you — by connecting your activity to DataDAOs, you earn value for your contributions. And developers build smarter SocialFi apps using user-owned datasets instead of scraped or synthetic data.
Vana brings true data ownership and lays the foundation for the next evolution of SocialFi.
