Verida is the confidential database storage and compute layer for the self-sovereign data economy.
Users can extract personal data from centralized platforms like Google, Telegram, Slack, and LinkedIn, using the Verida Private Data Bridge, and store it in user-controlled encrypted vaults on the Verida network.
The network offers secure, off-chain encrypted storage for users to own and control their data, enabling safe, hyper-personalized AI experiences with this contextual data.
Verida’s confidential compute network ensures that this encrypted data integrates with AI models while preserving privacy and protecting user data from model owners.
Users can install the verida-vault.md (and coming soon, sign up to the verida-vault.md) to create a Verida account and manage their private data.
Developers can connect to the Verida APIs or integrate the Verida SDK into applications to facilitate:
- Adding private user data storage to existing applications
- Accessing AI agents and prompts that have access to user data
- Accessing user data to create AI agents, Data marketplaces, Research, Marketing etc.
- Bridging user data to blockchain smart contracts
You will need to download the Verida Wallet to create a decentralized identity on the Verida Network. This ensures your private key remains on your mobile device and is kept secure.
{% hint style="info" %} Alternative account creation methods will be released in Q4 2024 (ie: Sign in with Ethereum, Sign in with Email, Sign in with Google / Apple / Facebook etc.) {% endhint %}
