Real time Cross-Chain Data Trade (e.g. Sell data access on Polygon and buy on Ethereum)
Today; your personal data is bought and sold in hidden data markets. The data brokerage market is worth more than $200 billion per year. And yet you (the person who produced this data) has no idea this is happening or can partake in this data economy or share in these earnings.
Itheum is the world's first "Decentralised Data Brokerage". We reduce the monopoly and dominance these data brokers have over your life. We believe in a future of personal data sovereignty and the role it plays in society. The Itheum platform follows the principle of "progressive decentralisation" to ensure we provide a platform that has real world use-cases today and yet enables the systematic removal of centralised intermediaries (traditional intermediaries like Data Brokers).
We offer 2 key products:
Data Collection and Analytics Toolkit - Anyone can use this toolkit to build user data collection tools with built in outcome-oriented analytics. This product is already in the market and powers products like OKPulse (https://okpulse.life). The aim of this product is to democratise data collection and analytics technology and to increase the quality of high quality, outcome oriented personal data.
Decentralised Data DEX: This cross-chain data DEX allows you to unlock your personal data for the greater social good and earn revenue for sharing your data assets. We provide some revolutionary new features like "Peer-to-Peer" data sale, Data NFTs (wrap data as an NFT to gain features like limited availability, royalties and to trade in secondary markets like OpenSea and Decentraland), "Data Coalitions" (sell data in bulk via a DAO managed entity) and many more.
Itheum was a recent winner at the global Moralis web3 Hackathon. This global event was sponsored by Chainlink, Polygon, Elrond, Ivan on Tech and many more.
Other key features of our Data DEX:
"Data Coalitions" DAO: Our core feature is a DAO entity that can sell personal data in bulk on behalf of it's "members". Legal terms and conditions of the sale are handled by the DAO and sale approval, conflict resolution and data quality credibility signalling are all handled on-chain. Our utility token will form the core of the DAO governance.
Data Vault DAO: Sensitive personal data on Itheum is encrypted using per-user encryption strategy. This enables full personal data sovereignty, but comes at a cost of a bad user experience (as a user has to sign multiple transactions to unlock data and transfer data ownership). We have "decentralised key-pool middleware" that enable functionality that can be used for seamless trading of secure encrypted data. This "decentralised key-pool middleware" is governed by a Data Vault DAO.
Itheum Foundation DAO: Itheum's platform roadmap will also be governed by it's users via a Foundation DAO.
The Itheum platform has the ability to store highly sensitive personal data in highly secure "personal data vaults" where data is locked using the data owner's private keys (per-user encryption). You can store your sensitive data within these vaults e.g. gender, race, sexual preference, prior health conditions, financial history and then append the sensitive vault data to your regular datasets being sold on the Data DEX and earn more as you attach rich demographic context to the dataset. But there will be situations where this data cannot be put on-chain even when encrypted due to privacy regulations and data sovereignty laws. Itheum has 2 core features that aims to solve this real-world issue of global data sharing. Our "Regional Decentralisation Hubs" enable data to remain in a region/country where the user resides (protected by regional or local sovereignty laws) and our "Trusted Computation Framework" brings the compute-to-the-data via privacy-preserving computation tools like Secure Multi-Party Computation, Homomorphic Encryption and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
