One connection, many fees.
A person connects their data once. Every time an approved app reads it, the app pays the network.

How reads generate fees
An app registers, an owner grants it access to data, and each read through that grant settles a fee.
Each step multiplies the one before it. One person can run several personal servers, one app can hold many grants, and every grant can be read against again and again.

Where the fees go
Fees settle in USDC. Of each fee, 60% goes to stakers, 20% buys and burns VANA, and 20% funds ecosystem growth.
Fee allocation
60 / 20 / 20percentCurrent allocation, as set out in VANA — The Asset Behind an Open Data Economy.
- Stakers 60%
- Buyback 20%
- Treasury 20%
The 60% staker share includes operator commission. At 5% commission, 57% goes to delegators and 3% to operators.
How value flows through the network
Builders register applications, people grant them access to data, and applications pay the network each time they read it.

Permission grants
702,296grantsAn owner grants one app access to one data source.
The protocol is metered by reads
5,282,012readsEach read against a grant settles a fee in USDC. Fee income adds up the amounts recorded for those settled reads.
How data compounds across applications
Data connected for one application can be granted to another. An application arriving later reaches connections that already exist, and a person arriving at a new application brings the permissions they already hold — so neither side starts from nothing.
