Tokenizing the Data Economy
summary
Permanent decentralized storage with an onchain endowment pool that pays Filecoin miners from an upfront fee, supporting ~7 million objects and tens of millions of retrievals while serving 10,000+ websites in production. Per-file keys use BLS threshold cryptography split across nodes for NFT and token-gated access. A live product stack includes 1MB.io to mint, trade and monetize data coins and ZKTLS proofs to verify real‑world data for marketplaces and AI models.
