Pledges & Data Ownership

To evaluate Pledges, users create a link between their offchain data source and an onchain wallet. While this data provides immediate utility in the form of accountability, it can also be valuable for other use cases.

Data Labels Created by Pledges

Data labels created in Pledges are representations and abstractions of the underlying source data, not the raw data itself. For example, by linking a real-world sensor to an onchain wallet, that user has effectively created a form of an onchain Proof-of-Personhood (PoP), as it would be very hard and costly to fake that activity at scale. This data can be useful when training a model like Wilbur on the typical behavioral features of a human-controlled wallet.

Additional data aggregations can be created using this data. For example, we can compute a rough measure of your experience with the activity you are committing to, based on the data sourced as of Pledge creation. We can also make a reasonable judgment of the ambition of the Pledge goal, which speaks to a user's tolerance for risk-taking.

Each application on 0xPledges produces unique labels that will be expanded over time.

Accessing your Data Vault

You can see all of the data that has been sourced through your Pledge activity on your Vault page. The Vault page displays the total amount of data that has been collected to-date, as well as the labels associated with those pledges. Future versions of your vault will allow you to download all data labels, and explore more sophisticated encryption schemes that are tied to the public key of your EVM address.

More information on data label monetization via the Portex data marketplace will be provided soon.
