At a recent forum in Hong Kong titled 'Build and Scale in 2026,' Art Abal, Managing Director of the Vana Foundation, delivered a speech on the critical role of data in AI development. According to ChainCatcher, Abal emphasized the core value of data as 'context' in an AI-driven era and discussed how decentralized technology can empower users to reclaim data sovereignty and unlock its potential economic value.
Abal highlighted the current issue of data monopolization within the AI ecosystem. He noted that most consumers rely on a single general AI assistant and rarely use other major models, leading to centralized data and context. Additionally, large tech companies have increasingly restricted API access, terminated free services, and introduced charges, effectively stripping users of control over their data and its contextual value.
In response, Vana has proposed a comprehensive solution. This includes developing tools that allow users to truly own their data, establishing protocols for cross-platform data portability, and creating an ecosystem encompassing applications, data DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and services to unlock the deeper value of data.
Abal concluded that in the AI era, data is context, and context is the key to differentiation. Vana's mission is to return control of data, context, and its economic value to every user through decentralized protocols and ecosystems, aiming to build a more open and equitable data value internet.#AIdevelopment #data #decentralizedtechnology #dataownership #dataeconomy #AIecosystem #VanaFoundation #datamonopolization #dataDAOs #dataportability #AIera #context #dataaccess #techinnovation #digitalsovereignty #datafreedom #VANA

The Solana Foundation announced the launch of the Solana Developer Platform (SDP) on March 24, designed for the AI era to facilitate enterprises and financial institutions in building and deploying financial products on Solana through APIs. According to BlockBeats, SDP integrates top-tier infrastructure within the Solana ecosystem into a unified interface, enabling institutions to enter the market efficiently, compliantly, and scalably.
The platform features three core API modules supporting various applications: the issuance module allows users to issue tokenized deposits, GENIUS-standard stablecoins, or tokenized real-world assets (RWA); the payment module facilitates the flow of funds between fiat and stablecoins, including fiat exchange and on-chain stablecoin transactions, covering business-to-business (B2B), business-to-consumer (B2C), and peer-to-peer (P2P) payment scenarios; the trading module supports financial operations such as atomic swaps and liquidity pools.
Currently, the issuance and payment modules are live, with the trading module expected to launch in late 2026. These modules enable enterprises to design, deploy, and scale institutional-grade blockchain solutions more conveniently.#SolanaFoundation #DeveloperPlatform #AIera #Blockchain #FinancialProducts #APIs #Stablecoins #TokenizedAssets #FinTech #InstitutionalBlockchain #SOL
