Data logistics for the data economy
The data economy needs an operating layer.
Every data activity is authorized, priced, evidenced, and settled. Tokens reach every party with a contribution or a right: owners, creators, providers, and operators.
One unit. Competitive prices.
The token is the accounting and settlement unit. Operators compete through versioned offers. Sponsors fund activities.
Choose an economic lens
One data economy. Three ways in.
The commercial problem, the data market, and the settlement mechanics describe the same economic activity at different levels. Choose the language closest to your work; the complete blueprint remains shared.
Price discovery—not central price setting
Markets discover what a data asset is worth in context.
Legra does not declare a universal price for an asset. It provides the logistics through which supply publishes offers, demand accepts them, activities produce evidence, and repeated transactions reveal what comparable economic bundles are worth.
Contextual asset price
P(asset | context)
- rights
- purpose
- quality
- freshness
- exclusivity
- duration
- jurisdiction
- service level
- demand
- Use Case
File size may affect storage and transport cost. It does not determine the economic value of the asset or the rights attached to it.
Passive economic participation
A data owner or rights-holder can receive tokens whenever an authorized activity uses the asset. They contribute ownership or rights to the value chain without having to operate its compute, custody, transport, or service delivery.
Every activity has a value chain.
Data, rights, fulfillment, capability, commission, rewards, and corrections settle as one evidence-backed token amount.
Economic blueprint
A single activity composes supplied value, fulfillment, capability, and commercial terms before journal evidence directs settlement. Price determines what is paid and why; funding determines who pays.
Total activity price
P(activity)
Price of activity equals price of data and rights, plus fulfillment resources, plus capability, service, or outcome, plus Operator offer margin, plus NetworkOperator commission, plus bonuses, minus credits, refunds, and penalties.
+ P(data and rights)
Data and rights
What is supplied and the authority granted to the receiving party.
- knowledge or content
- access, query, copy, or change
- purpose and duration
- quality and freshness
- exclusivity and territory
+ P(fulfillment resources)
Fulfillment resources
The physical and digital logistics required to perform the activity.
- compute and reasoning
- storage and retention
- custody and replication
- transport and bandwidth
- external I/O and licensed services
+ P(capability, service, or outcome)
Turn governed knowledge into valuable capability.
This is where reusable business knowledge, software, people, and agents create value beyond the resources consumed.
- Executable Use Cases and Apps
- Stories and workflows
- Transformations and pipelines
- Queries and graph reasoning
- Vector embedding derivation
- AI or deterministic summaries and reports
- Advanced analytics and event detection
- Derived audio, video, and media formats
- Data quality enhancement
- Cross-workspace and provider correlation
- Human or agent services
- Delivered business results
+ P(Operator offer margin)
Operator offer margin
The commercial value of assembling and standing behind an offer.
- integration
- orchestration
- support
- service levels
- risk
+ P(NetworkOperator commission)
NetworkOperator commission
Shared network functions used to authorize and settle exchange.
- admission
- identity
- metering
- evidence
- billing and settlement
+ P(bonuses)
Bonuses
Explicit rewards attached to valuable execution or outcomes.

- unused reservations
- refunds
- service credits
- SLA penalties
- corrections
01 · authorize
Funding authorizations
Caller, organization, provider, or sponsor
One or more parties may fund all or part of the activity.
02 · execute and prove
Activity + journal evidence
03 · settle
Tokens reach every contributor
- Data owners
- Use Case and App creators
- Infrastructure Operators
- Service providers
- NetworkOperator
Multidirectional participation
Every participant consumes, provides, operates, or owns.
Token flows follow evidenced contributions and rights. One activity pays every role at once.
Consumers
Authorize a budget and pay for the data, rights, and services an activity uses.
Owners and rights-holders
Supply assets and rights. Earn whenever an authorized activity uses them.
Creators and providers
Publish Use Cases, Apps, expertise, and services. Earn on use and on delivered outcomes.
Operators
Provide custody, compute, transport, admission, and settlement. Earn for measured delivery.
The journal is the evidence.
Priced activity is recorded in the workspace journal next to the work. Billing, reporting, and settlement read bounded views of that journal.
Token packages fund participation.
A subscription supplies tokens at a predictable price. Pay-as-you-go covers the rest.
Tokens price activity. Features stay open.
Quotes, authorization bounds, statements, credits, and refunds make every token flow reviewable.
The economy rides the logistics route.
Sovereign Data Products meet executable Use Cases on one route.
