Privacy protected. Participation enabled.
Sovereign data works hard. Independently governed workspaces link and transact across a global graph and keep their cryptographic, organizational, contractual, and economic boundaries.
Control and participation belong together.
A sovereign workspace discovers, authorizes, delivers, proves, and settles bounded work with other parties. The pod stays private. The work gets done.
Compare sovereign data systemsOne network, several boundaries
Owners choose openness per workspace.
Private
A workspace stays local, encrypted, and readable by its members only.
Shared
A bounded group works on knowledge, files, conversations, and changes together.
Restricted
A Data Product or Use Case crosses boundaries under explicit identity, purpose, rights, and terms.
Public
Open knowledge joins the same graph and logistics network. Linked workspaces stay as closed as their owners choose.
Ownership is a stack of enforceable boundaries.
Cryptographic authority
Workspace keys decide who interprets protected content. Storing encrypted blocks grants no authority.
Placement and custody
Owners choose self-operated or service-provided nodes and keep custody separate from the right to read or change.
Membership
Workspace membership is the collaboration boundary for people, organizations, services, and agents.
Purpose and policy
ODRL policy states permitted uses, duties, constraints, and prohibitions per workspace.
Governed change
Branches, validation, review, and signed history govern who changes what.
Economic choice
An owner keeps knowledge private, shares it freely, or prices access and use. The source workspace stays put.
Authority and custody are separate
More encrypted copies. The same readers.
Custodians replicate content-addressed encrypted blocks. Interpretation requires workspace authority. Owners pick placement and redundancy freely.
One model for every participant
Individuals
A private workspace serves as a personal pod and takes part in third-party transactions on the owner's terms.
Teams and communities
Members improve a shared corpus with explicit identity, authority, history, and publication boundary.
Organizations
Enterprises connect internal, partner, regulated, and public knowledge. No single platform holds authority over all of it.
Data Products
A product workspace publishes governed supply and keeps its models, provenance, policies, and commercial terms.
From private pod to bounded transaction
Participate. Keep the source workspace.
The transaction boundary is narrower than the ownership boundary. Selective exchange works for one person and for a global organization.
