About the ChatGPT Data DAO

We are building a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that empowers individuals to securely contribute their ChatGPT data, earn rewards, and collectively govern a valuable dataset for AI innovation.

Our Mission

In an era where AI is rapidly evolving, the data that fuels these models is immensely valuable. Currently, this value is often captured by large corporations. The ChatGPT Data DAO aims to shift this paradigm. We believe that users who generate data through their interactions with AI like ChatGPT should have ownership, control, and the ability to benefit from its use. Our mission is to create a transparent, secure, and rewarding ecosystem for ChatGPT data contribution, fostering a community-owned data asset that can be leveraged responsibly for research, development, and the creation of new AI-powered tools and services.

Core Principles

Privacy First

Your raw ChatGPT data is encrypted client-side and processed in Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), ensuring it's never exposed.

Community Governed

$GPT token holders participate in governance, shaping the future of data usage, platform development, and reward mechanisms.

Fair Rewards

Contributors are rewarded with $GPT tokens based on the verified quality and uniqueness of their data, fostering a valuable data pool.

Powering Innovation

Anonymized and aggregated insights from the DAO can fuel ethical AI research, model training, and application development.

The Technology Behind the DAO

Secure & Transparent Process

Our platform ensures your data contribution is handled with cutting-edge security and transparency:

Data Export: You begin by exporting your conversation history directly from your ChatGPT account.
Client-Side Encryption: Before your data leaves your computer, it's encrypted in your browser using a key derived from your connected wallet's signature. This ensures only you can decrypt your raw data.
Secure Upload: The encrypted data is uploaded to secure, decentralized storage.
TEE Validation: A "Proof of Contribution" is generated within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). This isolated environment processes your encrypted data to assess its quality and uniqueness without exposing the raw content.
Smart Contract Interaction: The proof and its score are submitted to our smart contracts on the Vana Network.
Reward Distribution: Based on the validated proof, the smart contract automatically distributes $GPT tokens to your wallet.

This entire process is designed to maximize your privacy while ensuring the integrity and value of the data contributed to the DAO. For more technical details, visit our documentation .

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of ChatGPT data can I contribute?

You can contribute your exported ChatGPT conversation history. This usually comes as a .zip file containing JSON formatted conversations when you use ChatGPT's data export feature.

How is my data kept private?

Your data is encrypted in your browser before upload using a key derived from your wallet signature. It's then processed within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a secure enclave that prevents even us from accessing the raw data.

How are rewards calculated?

Rewards are based on a 'Proof of Contribution' score. This score considers factors like the volume of data, uniqueness of conversations, length of history, and other quality metrics determined by the TEE. The higher the score, the more $GPT tokens you receive.

What can I do with $GPT tokens?

$GPT tokens are planned to be used for governance (voting on proposals), potentially staking for additional rewards, and accessing premium features or insights from the DAO in the future.

Is this affiliated with OpenAI or ChatGPT?

No, ChatGPT Data DAO is an independent, community-driven project. We provide a platform for users to leverage the data they generate while using services like ChatGPT. We are not officially affiliated with OpenAI.
