What is the Utility?

The VDA token serves to coordinate resources in the Verida Network. VDA creates a data economy enabling secure interactions between accounts to facilitate secure data storage, trusted sharing, fast querying and trusted messaging.

The network rewards storage node operators who stake VDA and supply storage capacity, and end users who bring their data onto the network. Users can pay for their own storage needs in VDA. Applications may also pay for storage on behalf of their users.

Common Questions

How does the Verida Network operate?
The Verida network is a self-sovereign “user-pays” model, whereby users pay for their own storage needs. In this way, “access to user data” is not the product, rather the product is the “security and protection” of user data. Node operators must bond (i.e. through single-sided staking) VDA tokens to make their nodes discoverable. It is intended that the storage market self regulates itself through competitive forces as providers set their own storage prices.
How do Verida Storage Nodes work?
Verida has developed open source middleware (Verida Storage Node) that sits in front of mature CouchDB database infrastructure. This solution is designed for storing private user data, incorporates access controls with flexible encryption, and permissioned data synchronization. It’s region aware and designed to meet data protection regulations requirements such as GDPR or CCPA.
What is Verida DbStore?
The Verida protocol provides secure, decentralized database storage for user data. Verida DbStore is the open source Storage Node server that provides encrypted database storage for one or more Verida Identities. No user data or Personally Identifiable Information (PIl) is stored on the blockchain.
