Vana - The First Network for User-Owned Data and Decentralized AI

Vana describes itself as open data infrastructure for human-grounded AI, designed to let people control the data they create and choose what it serves. Its October 2026 updates include the new Vana App, which sits behind the apps people use and moves their data between them with their permission and a record. On 7 October 2026, Vana met Singapore's business and government leaders at the Tanglin Club, where Singapore's National AI Strategy calls for trusted access to people's data. A 12 October 2026 post reports on two Builder Nights Seoul panels about what AI agents need from data.
