Onboarding Web2 to Web3 via Data Unions

Data Unions are a novel crypto powered mechanism to enable users to monetize their data freely. Unlike in Web2 where incumbents like Google or Facebook enrich themselves through monetizing user data with no to little consent. By joining a Data Union powered app users are able to monetize their own data. This unlocks new paradigms such as “drive to earn” or “surf the web to earn”. During this talk I’d like to highlight a couple of examples of successful data unions and showcase how web2 builders can follow that route.

Unlocking new "x to earn" use cases with Data Unions

Surf to earn, drive to earn, bank to earn are just a couple of use cases the Data Union paradigm unlocks. By selling user data with their explicit consent and splitting revenues between users and builders dozens of new "x to earn" use cases become available driving user growth in Web3 and giving users a share in the data economy.

How the utopian vision of Web 3.0 clashes with reality

The internet as we know it is broken. Google and Facebook have created data silos in which we have lost control over our information. You’ve heard that story a dozen times. But according to the people working on Web 3.0 they are able to fix all of that.
