What is UNWRAPPED?
UNWRAPPED is a data DAO focused on music data, starting with Spotify. Operating on the Vana network, it transforms your listening history into valuable insights while maintaining your privacy through advanced cryptography and secure validation.
Built with privacy at its core, UNWRAPPED uses client-side encryption and secure enclaves to ensure your data remains private while still being valuable for the ecosystem.
How It Works
1. Data Contribution
Connect your Spotify account and your listening history is encrypted right in your browser before being stored securely. The data is then processed in special secure environments called TEEs (Trusted Execution Environments).
What is a TEE?
Think of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) as a secure vault inside a computer. It's an isolated environment where sensitive data can be processed without anyone - not even system administrators - being able to see the raw data. It's like having a black box that can:
- Process your data while keeping it encrypted
- Verify data authenticity without exposing private details
- Generate proofs of contribution while maintaining privacy
Client-side Encryption
All data is encrypted in your browser before upload
Secure Processing
Data processed in secure TEE enclaves
Privacy Preserved
Only aggregated insights are shared
2. Validation Process
Using Vana's secure validation infrastructure, UNWRAPPED verifies:
- Data authenticity against Spotify's data
- Contribution uniqueness
- Listening history quality and completeness
3. Rewards Distribution
Once validated, contributors receive $BOPS tokens based on their contribution's value, taking into account listening volume, artist diversity, and history length.
DAO Governance
$BOPS token holders can participate in DAO governance by:
- Voting on data usage proposals
- Deciding on revenue distribution
- Proposing new features and integrations
- Shaping the future of music data monetization
FAQ
How secure is my data?
Your data is encrypted in your browser before being stored. The encryption key is kept private and only shared with authorized validators through secure channels. Even validators can't see your raw data - they process it in secure enclaves.
What rewards can I earn?
You earn $BOPS tokens based on your listening history's value. Factors include volume of listening, diversity of artists, and length of history. These tokens give you voting power in the DAO and a share in future revenue.
How are contributions validated?
Contributions are verified through Vana's secure validation infrastructure, ensuring data authenticity while preserving privacy. The validation checks listening history legitimacy, uniqueness, and quality.
