Pool Data

Pool Data

Pool is a platform and marketplace for "zero party" data, aiming to create a fairer data economy. It provides infrastructure for Data Unions, which allow individuals to monetize and control their personal data. The platform connects these Data Unions with data buyers, using the $POOL ERC-20 token to facilitate transactions and reward participants.
Distributed

Description

Pool aims to redistribute power, value, and control in the data economy by providing a marketplace and backend infrastructure for Data Unions—organizations that enable people to collectively monetize and share their personal data. The platform offers payment rails, data distribution channels, and a suite of tools for data buyers, Data Union Operators, and their members. Key features include a query-to-data engine for analyzing data across multiple unions, a unitary wallet for members to manage their earnings, and a personal data vault. The ecosystem utilizes the $POOL ERC-20 token and facilitates payments in $USDC, creating a marketplace for ethically sourced, GDPR-compliant, "zero party" data.
