Data Value Returns to Users: How Lagrange Allows Your Private Data to "Make Money Without Leaking"
In the internet age, your data has always been "secretly monetized" — platforms use your browsing history to push ads and analyze your consumption habits, yet they never share a penny with you. Lagrange (#Lagrange ) states: In the Web3 era, data should belong to the users themselves, and with zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, you can "both earn money from your data and not leak your privacy".
Their approach is clever: for example, if you want to sell your health data to pharmaceutical companies for research, traditional methods either fully disclose (privacy is lost) or you dare not sell (no money earned). But with Lagrange's ZK technology, you can generate a proof: "My data meets the characteristics of '30-40 years old, no chronic diseases'". Pharmaceutical companies only need to verify the proof's validity to confirm your data is useful, paying for this "characteristic proof" without needing to see specific medical records.
Another example is copyright protection for creators: you can use ZK to prove "this artwork is my original creation" without having to disclose drafts or the creative process. After NFT platforms verify the proof, they can establish ownership, preventing plagiarism while protecting creative privacy. Even for office workers’ resumes: using proof to show "I have 5 years of blockchain experience", employers can confirm your qualifications without needing to see the full resume, avoiding misuse of information.
$LA is the "settlement tool" for all this — data transactions and proof generation are paid for using $LA , and holders can vote to determine the rules of data transactions. @Lagrange Official is working on using technology to create a fairer world: your data should be determined by you, and the money earned should go into your pocket. #lagrange may be the project that makes "data sovereignty" no longer an empty talk.
