The new Vana App is now live. It sits behind the apps you use. When one of them asks for your data, you see exactly what it wants and decide. Say yes and the data moves with your permission, and the move is recorded. See it work in OpenPet: connect an Oura Ring, get a pet that reads your sleep back to you. Trying it this week earns XP.

AI agents can only help you if they know about you. And what they know is your data. So who moves it, and who decides? That was the question at Builder Nights Seoul with @MetaMask, @lfdecentralized and @0xTicker. @juliangordonhk8 opened on who is already building this. LF Decentralized Trust counts ten central banks among its members, including the Bank of Korea. It also hosts the standard Vana wrote for how personal data moves. On the first panel, @francescoswiss and the MetaMask team talked about agents moving from trading to doing everyday things for you. For that, an agent needs your data, and you need to stay in charge of it. On the second, @sheila_warren and the panel made a harder point. Regulators everywhere are talking about digital public infrastructure and decentralization. It’s a natural fit for Web3, but very few Web3 projects are in the room. Web3 doesn’t need to invent new use cases. It needs to meet the ones that already exist. Which projects do you see showing up for this work?

Vana sat down with Singapore's business and government leaders at the Tanglin Club, hosted by the MIT Club of Singapore. Singapore wants AI built on people's real data, and its law already gives people the right to move that data from one organisation to another. What it needs is a way to do it. That is what Vana is. A person decides who can use their data, for what, and for how long. Every move is recorded. Vana wrote the standard for this, the Linux Foundation hosts it, and governments are scoping national rollouts. The network already carries 1.5 million users and more than 20 million transactions. Singapore is putting S$1 billion into AI research through 2030. The countries that get the most out of AI will be the ones where people's data can move with their permission. Vana is how it moves.

Want to bring your data with you everywhere? @volodisai is walking through the Vana CLI live in our Discord. Install it, connect your data, run your own Personal Server, and plug it into your AI over MCP. Questions answered live. Tue 6 Oct, 20:00 PT / Wed 7 Oct, 11:00 SGT

Since 2022, Korea has had one of the most comprehensive data portability laws in the world. It started with banking under MyData, and now millions of Koreans move their financial data between apps. By 2027, every sector in Korea, public and private, has to let your data move when you ask. The law is in effect. Implementation is the open question. Moving data safely, with your permission every time, at the speed people and their AIs need, takes technology that did not exist. Vana solves this. With Linux Foundation ConsenSys to discuss Trust, we created the world standard for personal data portability, and it's live. On 2 October, we're bringing the right people into one room in Seoul: the @lfdecentralized and @MetaMask on how Web3 can be applied beyond financial use cases. To our Korean community and everyone at KBW: RSVP below. Spots are stritctly limited. _____ 한국은 놀랍게도 세계에서 가장 포괄적인 데이터 이동권 제도를 갖춘 나라 중 하나입니다. 2022년 금융 마이데이터를 시작으로, 이제는 수많은 사람이 앱을 오가며 금융 데이터를 옮기고 있습니다. 2027년까지 공공과 민간을 가리지 않고 모든 분야에서, 내가 요청하면 데이터를 옮겨줄 수 있어야합니다 법은 이미 시행 중입니다. 중요한 관건은 구현입니다. 매번 본인 동의를 거치면서도, 사람과 AI가 요구하는 속도로 데이터를 안전하게 옮기려면 기존에 없던 기술이 필요합니다. 바나가 그 기술을 만들었습니다. 리눅스 재단 산하 LF Decentralized Trust와 함께 개인 데이터 이동의 글로벌 표준을 정립했고, 이미 실제로 쓰이는 중입니다. 10월 2일, 서울에서 리눅스 재단, 한국은행, 컨센시스 관계자들이 한자리에 모입니다. 금융 너머의 Web3 활용 방안을 함께 이야기합니다. 한국 커뮤니티와 KBW 참가자 여러분, 아래 링크에서 참가 신청해 주세요. 자리가 한정되어있어 조기마감될 수 있습니다.
