The
team
behind
Vana,
a
decentralized
network
for
user-owned
datasets
and
models,
notes
that
Reddit
Data
DAO
has
launched
atop
the
network.
According
to
the
team:
“It
is
a
community-owned
data
treasury
where
users
can
join
with
their
Reddit
account
and
receive
governance
rights
based
on
how
much
data
they
contribute.
Users
can
then
vote
to
sell
their
data
to
other
AI
companies
or
vote
to
delete
it
if
Reddit
agrees
to
pay
them
directly.
The
DAO
demonstrates
the
power
of
user-owned
data,
the
potential
for
user-owned
foundation
models,
and
the
sorts
of
applications
Vana
is
making
possible.”
Drife,
Peer-to-Peer
Ride-Hailing
Platform,
Goes
on
SUI
Blockchain
April
4:
Drife,
a
Web3
decentralized
ride-hailing
platform
that
uses
blockchain
technology
to
create
a
peer-to-peer
network
for
drivers
and
riders,
is
migrating
to
the
Sui
blockchain.
According
to
the
team:
“This
is
the
first
decentralized
mobility
infrastructure
platform
to
integrate
on
Sui.
The
Drife
platform
offers
a
zero-commission
fee
structure
which
allows
drivers
to
earn
more
income
and
pass
on
the
benefits
to
riders
in
the
form
of
savings.
Sui
is
the
optimal
blockchain
platform
for
Drife
as
it
offers
low
network
fees,
reduced
transaction
costs,
and
enhanced
overall
affordability
for
users.”
According
to
the
project’s
documentation,
it
was
built
on
Polygon.
