As individuals, organizations and even Nation States, we grew accustomed to and<br \/>reliant on our ability to query information on any subject, at any time, and to freely use it as we see<br \/>fit. In return, as a society we have de facto agreed to tolerate an increasing degree of transparency<br \/>in terms of the metadata that describes our private and public lives.<br \/>This pay-off arrangement between data producers, accumulators, and consumers has proven itself<br \/>immensely instrumental in terms of economic growth, public discourse, and the overall improvement<br \/>of our quality of life. However, above this \u201cNew Deal of Data\u201d looms the shadow of<br \/>an inherent market failure that prevents our Information Economy from reaching its full potential,<br \/>while allowing actors in privileged positions in the data economy to exploit our dependency on<br \/>information to their own advantage.<br \/>While one side to this \u201cNew Deal of Data\u201d finds itself subjected to an automatically and increasingly<br \/>involuntarily extraction of information through countless applications, sensors, and algorithms<br \/>dispersed throughout Cyber- and \u201cMeat\u201d-space alike, the other party to the deal expects<br \/>to be blindly trusted when it comes to the handling of this enormous pool of information. Even<br \/>more significantly, following a severe lack of economic incentives, the most valuable pool of data in<br \/>existence has never actually reached the public domain to begin with. This pool includes the results<br \/>of countless academic research projects, as well valuable economic data produced and accumulated<br \/>by private and public entities alike.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the overwhelming majority of the fuel that is supposed to power our Information<br \/>Economy remains siloed in isolated databases, where it is prone to malevolent manipulation, and<br \/>where its economic and cultural potential remains unutilised, if not downright weaponized.<br \/>At first glance it appears that Blockchain Technology is an ideal tool to solve both of the problems<br \/>stated above: the questionable trust-relationship between data producers, handlers, and consumers;<br \/>as well as the lack of economic incentives to maintain vast, resource intensive data sets in<br \/>the public domain.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of facilitating trust and data-integrity, Distributed Ledger Technology has already proven<br \/>itself as immensely useful. The trillion dollar Bitcoin, Altcoin, and token markets have demonstrated<br \/>beyond any reasonable doubt that it is possible and useful to store crucial information publicly,<br \/>while ensuring that its integrity remains intact without any authority enforcing cumbersome<br \/>security measures.<\/p>\n<p>The same crypto-economy with its tokenization schemes has also demonstrated that through<br \/>game-theoretical means, the pooling and sharing of computational resources as well as information<br \/>can be elegantly incentivised with spectacular results. Alas, to date fundamental technological hurdles<br \/>remain which prevent blockchain technology from playing a significant role in terms of securing<br \/>the integrity of complex databases, while incentivising the pooling and sharing thereof.<br \/>Blockchains were originally introduced to secure a single and fairly simple data stream, namely<br \/>the sequence of monetary transactions in a peer-to-peer (P2P) cash system. These transactions are<br \/>recorded in a monolithic public ledger, which is just that \u2013 an ever growing account of who sent<br \/>what to whom. This account can then serve as a \u201csingle source of truth\u201d on which all network<br \/>participants can blindly agree upon.<\/p>\n<p>Attempting to expand this \u201csingle source of truth\u201d concept to complex databases that are capable<br \/>of recording and processing the vast amounts of data produced by 7.6 billion humans and<br \/>their cultural and economic activities would, for obvious reasons, result in a ghastly failure if based<br \/>on contemporary blockchains such as Ethereum and its progenies. To accommodate for such a<br \/>revolutionary new implementation of blockchains, CyberVein proposes a radically novel approach<br \/>to Distributed Ledger Technology, one able to record multiple datastreams in structured, highly<br \/>complex decentralized databases which can be processed, queried, and manipulated in real-time<br \/>by several parties in a trust-less global network. To achieve this, CyberVein improves on Directed<br \/>Acyclic Graph architectures by introducing a resource conserving consensus algorithm, as well as a<br \/>smart contracting language and virtual machine, optimised for the handling of massive amounts of<br \/>data. Additionally, the CyberVein contracting language comes with built-in monetization functions<br \/>which allow owners of data to define its value and to condition access to it through direct payments<br \/>or any other way they see fit.<\/p>\n<p>CyberVein databases are stored and maintained as independent smart contracts, permissioned to<br \/>contract parties, yet potentially accessible to other network participants. All entries, modifications,<br \/>and amendments to CyberVein databases are stored as appended smart contract transactions. This<br \/>means that a CyberVein database automatically contains all previous versions of itself, expanding<br \/>immutability to the temporal dimension.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, the CyberVein network is built as a fractal network of independent yet interlocked<br \/>databases on which users only sync data that is relevant to them, protecting the network from congestion.<br \/>The result is a public network of immutable databases, comparable to the Internet as public network<br \/>of networks. On this network information is protected from tampering, just like Bitcoin transactions<br \/>on the blockchain. No one, including the owners of a database, can corrupt its records,<br \/>delete it, or tamper with its processing history. This allows data to be securely interconnected, and<br \/>transformed into structured knowledge, while economic incentives for data sharing are baked into<br \/>the blockchain protocol itself.<\/p>\n<p>With this CyberVein creates an entirely new market environment in which data sharing among<br \/>competing entities is not only made possible, but economically incentivised through crypto-economical<br \/>and game-theoretical means. With this, CyberVein allows for the maintenance of publicly accessible<br \/>data-sets which can be used by anyone and corrupted by no one, functioning as the infrastructure<br \/>for increasingly data-dependent information economies and smart infrastructures.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybervein.org\/\" target='_blank\"' rel=\"noopener\"> CyberVein Website<\/a> <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cybervein.org\/whitepaper\" target='_blank\"' rel=\"noopener\"> CyberVein Whitepaper <\/a> <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract With humanity moving deeper into the Information Age, modern societies produce increasinglylarge amounts of data, while becoming ever more dependent on its on-demand availability, as wellas its integrity.
