Data as Labour Network (DALN)

In this episode of DevNTell, Narb welcomes Karen Sheng and Miffy from Data as Labor Network (DALN) to discuss their project, which aims to empower consumers by treating their data as labor. Karen explains the inspiration behind DALN, referencing the concept of 'Radical Markets' and the paradigm shift from data as free capital to data as compensable labor. The discussion covers the immense value of consumer data, specifically credit card transaction data, and the limitations of existing centralized platforms. Karen outlines the DALN architecture, emphasizing collective ownership and monetization through a data DAO. The episode includes a demonstration of the DALN onboarding process, showing how users can securely share and potentially monetize their anonymized data using blockchain technology and tools like Plaid and Tableland.
