## About

Founded in 2021 by Anna Kazlauskas and based in California, US, Corsali, Inc., dba Vana focuses on user-owned data and decentralized technologies. 

Vana offers a suite of products centered around user-owned data and decentralized AI, primarily leveraging the concept of Data Liquidity Pools (DLPs) to create a marketplace where users can own and govern their data. The flagship service allows users to log in with their wallets, enabling access to their data in a non-custodial manner, thereby enhancing privacy and control over personal information. The platform facilitates the aggregation and cryptographic verification of data, empowering users to contribute to AI models while earning from their involvement.
