What is Datum?

Datum is a decentralized and distributed high performance NoSQL database backed by a blockchain ledger. This technology allows anyone to securely and anonymously backup structured data from social networks, wearables, smart homes, and other IoT devices. Datum provides a marketplace where users can share or sell data on their own terms.

Storage nodes

The Ecosystem

The Datum network relies on the DAT Token Smart Contract to provide secure trading of data while respecting the terms set out by data owners.

1.
Users
submit data

by connecting different services to the platform, paying a small DAT token fee to store it in the network.

Data is encrypted under usage terms, anonymized and sent to the network.

2.
Storage node miners

save and transmit the encrypted data, earning DAT tokens for it.

Smart contract initiates off-chain key exchange to release data under data owner's terms.

3.
Buyers acquire data

in exchange for DAT tokens that are payed back to the data owners.
