Everybody has different privacy needs and expectations that change depending on context. Each user has their own soulbound token, accessible via the blockchain, that expresses their expectations as privacy rules.
Our unique hybrid ruleset NFTs codify collections of privacy rules. A ruleset token is designed to be composable and reusable, and features a royalty-paying use model and community-adaptive governance.
With our Daoonomy, members and domain experts work together to construct the contextual hierarchy, schema, and other attributes needed to describe privacy scenarios that are contextually and culturally responsive.
Privacy-impacting devices and services take advantage of a common architecture without reinventing the wheel. Devices retrieve a user's privacy preferences from their soulbound token and align their behaviors accordingly.
Devices submit confirmatory data to the blockchain about their activity state in response to user preferences. Members of an auditor marketplace analyze the device's reaction and the network incentivizes the device appropriately.
We enable a rich model for BUIDLer integration on many levels, from daoonomies and royaltized rulesets to privacy end-user vertical markets to customized dApps to entirely new functionality through smart contract integration.
A PANID defines the boundaries of an identity's privacy expectations as a "rule base" that is reactive to changes in context, location, group, role, and other attributes. That rule base is itself made of composable, reusable privacy ruleset NFTs. This architecture enables the rule base to be accessible via the blockchain and readable by entities that want to understand an individual's privacy preferences across the web, blockchain, web3, robot, IoT, and wearable environments.
Privacy expectations organized in this way are not synonymous with identity, but are an important aspect of identity because they reveal how a person wants others to see or not see them in different roles and contexts. The PANID primitive can be extended to entirely new classes of attributes to address a range of related problems, such as identity, data marketplaces, personalization, inbound and outbound content control, and reputation.
The daoonomy is a universal way of thinking about the structure of shared concepts, values, and other taxa that allows them to be used by other systems as composable building blocks. The daoonomy is made up of individual daoonomy sets that hierarchically define groups of related taxa.
Each daoonomy set can be created and adaptively governed by its own DAO community. Each daoonomy set can also independently define economic incentives whereby the governing community is rewarded in proportion to the set's usefulness.
The daoonomy is a powerful new way of structuring curated information whose applicability is far-reaching. As a source of independently governed and adaptive shared concepts, values, and parameters, it encourages entirely new models of
community to grow.
The Averify component ensures that a person's expressed privacy preferences are being respected by devices and services. Coincident with a privacy interaction, the device or service submits a package of confirmatory data. An independent auditor node verifies that this data package confirms the device's adherence to the privacy preferences. The protocol incentivizes the good behavior of confirmatory data providers and auditors using a system of rewards, bond slashing, and corrections.
Averify is essentially an economy or marketplace in which entities can share data that proves a desired behavior was in accord with expectations. In Averify, the collaborating parties do not need to know one another's identity or have deep knowledge of one another's internal mechanics. But, with "partial knowledge verification" of the inputs and the end state of the data provider, it is possible for an auditor to assess whether the data provider acted within bounds. Outcomes over time may be used by others to evaluate the quality or reputation of data providers, as well as to reward, deter, or align the objectives of actors in a trust network.
Using DOT for value exchanges between participants allows Privaceum to focus on its core mission—privacy—instead of on the tokenomics of a protocol token. Participants can obtain DOT tokens via already existing mechanisms and use them seamlessly for Privaceum activities. They get the financial security of DOT's overall stability and widespread adoption.
A healthy protocol needs people to do useful things, such as build and share privacy rulesets. The fundamental driver of value on Privaceum is the usefulness of an entity's contribution rather than the quantity of token held. We measure the overall usefulness of activities with our Activity Impact Matrix (AIM).
When you build something useful, more transaction and protocol fees are gathered in DOT from those using it, increasing the supply of DOT in the treasury. Everyone participating is entitled to capture value proportional to their own efforts to support the protocol. This model represents a new way of encouraging long-term participant engagement that avoids many of the pitfalls of airdrops and passive token staking.
Privaceum's participation model encourages better governance by entrusting the power to enact change to the people and entities whose activities are most supportive of the protocol. As your actvity impact matrix improves, so does your power to enact change.
While it isn't practical to say 'I must have privacy all the time,' it also isn't reasonable to surrender and say 'privacy is dead.' Sometimes we need to relinquish some privacy for security in a specific context like an airport, but still be able to set privacy limits elsewhere. Privaceum provides the tools to make the fine-grained choices necessary for control and ownership of your privacy.
Imagine that, when you enter a given area or context, your favorite dApp powered by the Privaceum blockchain shows a privacy trust score of privacy-impacting devices in the area and their current and historical level of compliance with people's privacy expectations as evaluated by Averify.
As you move from place to place with the dApp, it provides privacy-impacting devices with access to your privacy preferences via Privaceum. This dynamic exchange between the dApp and devices creates a 'privacy awareness network' that, over time, encompasses ever-expanding contexts such as shopping, travel, healthcare, and even cities.
A privacy protocol needs a nuanced understanding of the contexts, roles, actions, constraints, and parameters that describe privacy. Our royalty model encourages a variety of participants to engage in the collaborative project of creating, sharing, and participating in the governance of daoonomy sets and shared privacy rulesets.
The Averifier ecosystem provides a revenue model for devices/services who submit confirmatory data, auditor nodes who do the verification, and challengers who ensure the accuracy of audit results. There are also opportunities for integrators to build control models for different device types and verification models auditors use to evaluate different types of confirmation data.
Privaceum does not have a centralized frontend dApp. It instead incentivizes integrators to develop and deploy their own customized dApps to serve different privacy end-user vertical markets, support the needs of different participant capabilities within the protocol (e.g., auditor node management), and support seamless integration with other blockchains or Polkadot parachains.
Privaceum includes smart contract features that allow developer-integrators to build entirely new capabilities leveraging the building blocks of the chain, such as data sharing marketplaces, preference systems using the PANID attribute techology, identity solutions, and ruleset conflict resolution and consensus models.
