PRIV Token
The currency that powers the data economy. Use PRIV to fund bounties, purchase data, stake for quality assurance, and govern the protocol.
Four ways to earn
Every earning method generates PRIV demand. Contributors are paid in PRIV, and businesses buy PRIV to fund bounties.
Install the extension or VPN app. Earn PRIV from anonymized browsing data.
Contribute photos, videos, voice, music, 3D scans, and 30+ data types.
Complete AI training tasks. Build reputation, unlock premium tasks.
Lock PRIV in 5 tiers (7d-365d) for weighted rewards. Higher tiers earn up to 8x more.
Five functional uses
PRIV has immediate utility at launch. Every use creates demand tied to real economic activity.
Fund Bounties
Post data bounties with on-chain escrow. PRIV funds the escrow, contributors get paid on approval.
Purchase Data
Buy datasets on DataXchange. All marketplace transactions settle in PRIV.
Stake for QA
Stake 500 PRIV to become an approver. Vote on submissions, earn rewards for accuracy.
Governance
Vote on protocol changes. Fee structures, treasury spending, minting policies — all decided by token holders.
AI Agent Purchases
AI agents buy PRIV tokens to purchase data through the MCP server. Every agent transaction triggers the 3% protocol fee — 40% burned, 35% to stakers, 25% to treasury.

Supply controls
Built-in mechanisms prevent uncontrolled dilution and align founder incentives with protocol growth.
Founder Performance Bond
Founder tokens are locked in a smart contract and released only when the protocol reaches TVL milestones. No growth, no unlock.
Minting Controller
New tokens can only be minted within decreasing phase-based caps. After 24 months, all minting requires DAO approval.
Governance
PRIV holders govern the protocol through on-chain proposals. Fee structures, treasury spending, and minting policies are all decided by token holders.
Fee distribution
Every transaction pays a 3% protocol fee, split three ways.
How demand compounds
Platform activity drives token demand through a self-reinforcing cycle of utility, fees, and supply reduction.
Token classification
PRIV is a utility token with functional use at launch. It is a consumption token — businesses buy PRIV to spend it on the Data Bounty Board, not as a speculative asset. Contributors earn PRIV through labor: data submissions, QA voting, and labeling tasks.
The token has five functional uses from day one: funding bounties with on-chain escrow, purchasing data on DataXchange, staking for quality assurance approval, governance voting on protocol parameters, and AI agent data purchases via the MCP server.
