[Q @Q_Ticker]

It's been ages since I have deep-read any form of long articles, but I find myself immersed in the "zen" mode while reading Vana whitepaper authored by @annakaz .
I have read some of Anna's writings dated back to 2022 about user-owned data. It shows Anna's scholarly background and years of persistent research that eventually brings @withvana to the world.

Why do we need another AI project while chatGPT and other innovative services seem already mighty and powerful?

What can Vana bring to the table?

Well, Vana's approach is quite unique and totally makes sense (for a non-tech background like me to understand easily)

Vana is trying to solve the "scaling problem" for AI advancement, with quality private data pooled from across platforms. The valuable private data users do not know we already legally own but only tech conglomerates are profiting from.

How can users benefit while maintaining data sovereignty?

Besides the well-designed tech architecture that ensures data privacy and solves data double-spending problems, what interests me most is the design of Data Liquidity Pools (DLPs) in Vana's ecosystem.

DLPs serve as the fundamental coordination mechanism for collective data assets in the Vana network. DLPs in the form of DataDAOs, function as the "workers union", collecting data and enabling collective bargaining for data rights.

Second would definitely be the economic model and tokenomics of $VANA token:

The TL;DR in Vana's post is quite concise and to the point, actually I can not summarize in any ways better than that about the project.

So spend time deep-read about Vana. I bet it will fix anyone's skepticism and refresh their perspectives about AI+Web3.

[Q @Q_Ticker]

$Vana tokenomics is announced and it reflects the essence of @withvana : user-centered.

While team and investor token is locked for a long term, 66.9% of the token will be instantly released to reward users for contributing with their valuable personal data, researchers for advancing privacy-preserving machine learning, and DataDao and validators for helping build and maintain a growing ecosystem.

The native token $Vana is used for network security through validator staking, DLP staking, transaction fee payments for network operations, and as the primary trading pair on DEXes for all DLP tokens.

Imagine when the network effect kicks in (Better data → More staking → Higher rewards → More contributors), together with the token burning mechanism in design, what would be ahead for $Vana

@Only1valentino @Q_Ticker It’s not us.
We have no team members like these.
They are the impersonators

[Q @Q_Ticker]

I was notified by a friend saying there’s impersonators of Ticker.
For disclaimers, we do NOT have these members.
So sorry to hear about this loss.
Please always verify with me if anyone needs confirmation.
I will also limit email usage for current team

[Q @Q_Ticker]

I deeply resonate with all the five core values, and on "Pragmatic Idealism" a lot more recently.
A lot has changed yet not so much over the last 7 years: I am still deeply drawn to the blockchain technology and the crypto industry for its core idealism and value proposition of decentralized technology, yet learn to acknowledge the positive feedback loop that only profit can bring forth.
Been taught my whole life to pay attention more to the process rather than the result, but I think crypto is a field this rule does NOT apply.
If investors and VCs (VCs and venture studios are not the same thing...come on) keep losing after contributing with investment and resources then there will be no drive for new influx of funds into this field.
Over-valued projects are the ones to blame (and whoever helps them design that way). This phenomenon can only drives VCs to come up with more reasons not to invest or more clauses for self-protection

[Q @Q_Ticker]

been reading on @PanteraCapital insights on crypto's role in the AI revolution and bumped into a familiar name @withvana 🧐
The charming and respectable founders are the reason why I start researching about this field on a Saturday afternoon, and the findings get really intriguing that I want to spend a lot more time. This is exactly the positive feedback loop I am looking for in any team or project Im working with.
The article details why AI and crypto are neat combination, and the two technologies need each other. Data is the lifeblood of AI, and blockchain technology can be the perfect solution to
incentivize data sharing through secure means, turn data into a commodity, democratize data access and eventually lead to more robust and unbiased AI models. This is exactly the field @withvana is working on.
The article is fun to read, quite cohesive and even a bit tech-philosophical. So wont do TLDR, here's the link:

Ticker is not a VC technically since we don’t have outside LPs. We invest with our own funds and I write a decent mid-sized VC check.
What might make Ticker special is that we are based in the vibrant Asian market, and we truly care and support portfolios for the long term

Thank you for great sharing and support from our dearest friends and partners
