About vana
Vana is an EVM-compatible proof-of-stake Layer 1 built around making personal data an asset that can be held, licensed and priced. Users export chat logs, listening history and purchase records from platforms into their own storage and pool them into use-case-specific data liquidity pools; each pool is governed by a DataDAO, contributors are scored and paid in pool tokens through Proof of Contribution, and those tokens are burned when AI developers pay for access, closing the loop from contribution to payment. Raw records are validated inside trusted execution environments in the Satya Network, so validators certify quality without seeing content.
Its role is a middle layer on the supply side of data: above, it serves model trainers looking for scarce, non-public corpora; below, it aggregates scattered personal data into licensable sets, with pool contracts handling admission, de-identification and revenue splits. Compared with general storage networks, Vana records usage rights and provenance rather than files; compared with labelling platforms, governance and pricing stay with contributors.
Vana released token economics with a 120 million total supply and 44% allocated to the community. The testnet airdrop was completed, followed by the launch of native token VANA. The mainnet went live on December 16. Binance supported the network upgrade and hard fork. YZi Labs invested, with Zhao Changpeng joining as advisor and participating in a Space on AI and data ownership.
Token unlocks: Of a 120 million supply, 60.95 million VANA was still locked on July 10; 2.57 million tokens worth about $2.9 million, or 8.3% of the float, unlocked on June 16, and a further 2.16 million on July 16 lifted circulating supply from 30 million to 32.16 million.
Recent releases: Three cliff unlocks for investors, team and ecosystem totalling about 1.24 million tokens, roughly $1.25 million and 1.68% of the float, landed on October 16, among the larger share-of-float releases of the week, with vesting still running mostly on cliffs.
On 21 September 2026 Vana completed a hard fork at block height 10,229,958. On 29 September the Vana Foundation said expanded staking under the Vega upgrade was complete and published the paper "VANA: The Asset Behind an Open Data Economy". Under the new fee model an application pays one cent per scope read of a person's data, split by protocol rule: 60 per cent to three staking pools with 5 per cent operator commission, 20 per cent to open-market buybacks and burns of VANA, and 20 per cent to ecosystem development, with every burn published with its transaction hash.
By 28 September the network had processed 2,937,447 verified reads, and the dashboard at token.vana.org reports reads, fee income, buybacks, burns and supply. Existing staked positions had to migrate into one of the new pools by 31 October, with principal withdrawable at any time.
Future strategy and roadmap: After the Vega upgrade, Vana is pushing its personal data portability protocol toward an industry standard, contributed as a community spec to the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust. Next it will promote government assessments of its national-scale data deployment and widen the application scenarios and compliant use of data reads. The three staking-pool migration must complete by October 31; under the new fee model each data-range read pays one cent, with 60% of fees into staking pools, 20% to open-market buyback and burn of VANA, and 20% to ecosystem, all publicly verifiable.
vana was co-founded by Anna Kazlauskas and Art Abal, with Kazlauskas as CEO. She studied computer science and economics, worked as an engineer at Celo and advised the prime minister of East Timor on data and governance rules. Both founders are Filipino and had previously built TOCA, a project that let low-income workers enter the AI economy through data labelling. Abal studied at Harvard and led new data collection methods at Appen, a major supplier of AI training data.
Around 2021 the pair set up Open Data Labs in San Francisco, a team that grew out of the MIT Media Lab.
Recent team change at Vana: Victoria Van Gogh, who joined in 2024 as Head of APAC, departed in April 2026. No new hires were reported during this period.
