Introduction
Privacy-first Web3 analytics. Users own their data, earn from sharing it.
What is PRIV?
PRIV Protocol is a decentralized data economy that enables users to monetize their behavioral data across desktop, mobile, and active contributions while maintaining full control.
Unlike existing solutions that focus solely on passive collection, PRIV creates a comprehensive ecosystem with four distinct earning mechanisms:
- Passive Browsing (Desktop)
- Passive Browsing (Mobile VPN)
- Active Contributions (Media)
- AI Labeling Tasks
How It Works
The Ecosystem
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Wallet | User dashboard for managing earnings, consent, and staking |
| Browser Extension | Desktop tool for passive browsing data monetization |
| Mobile VPN | Mobile app for securing traffic and earning on the go |
| DataXchange | On-chain marketplace on Base L2 for data transactions |
| Labeling | Distributed workforce for AI training data (RLHF, annotation) |

Core Principles
- Privacy by Default: All data is encrypted client-side. No raw data ever leaves the user's device without explicit consent.
- User Ownership: Users maintain full keys to their data vault.
- Transparent Payments: All settlements happen on-chain via the PRIV token.
- Open Infrastructure: Built on the OP Stack (Base) for EVM equivalence and open source transparency.
