Datastake empowers local businesses, NGOs, and community actors—especially in weak-governance or logistically challenged regions—to securely manage, verify, and monetise their information. Through incentivised data sharing, structured “data wallets” enable provenance tracking and marketplace-enabled monetisation.
 
Key Value Propositions
 
• Incentivised Transparency – Users earn rewards for submitting credible, structured data. Each data point is tracked through a chain of custody for full traceability.
• Data Ownership & Marketplace – Users control their contributions and access a marketplace to monetise their verified data.
• Collaborative Ecosystem – Stakeholders like local NGOs, mineral buyers, banks, and development agencies converge on shared, validated datasets to address data scarcity.
