YOOG is an innovative platform that aims to combine the data economy with blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies, creating a direct and fair marketplace between data owners and AI developers. The core focus of the platform is the tokenization, protection, and economic transformation of data. YOOG transforms data from mere stored information into a digital asset that can be bought, sold, licensed, and revenue-generating.
The YOOG ecosystem particularly targets providing high-quality, verifiable, and ethically usable data sets for large language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence applications, and data-fed technologies.
YOOG Core Purpose and Vision
In the traditional data economy, data is usually collected by large technology companies for free or at low cost, while the actual producers do not receive sufficient share of the value. YOOG aims to reverse this structure.
The platform’s vision is to create a sustainable data marketplace where data owners have direct ownership rights over the data they produce or collect, and AI developers can access the data they need in a transparent and legal manner.
YOOG is an ambitious project that brings data ownership, artificial intelligence, and blockchain under one roof. Especially in a period where the need for ethical data for AI models is increasing, it stands out with its approach that protects, licenses, and transforms data into economic value.
The platform is not just an NFT marketplace; it also aims to offer a decentralized data economy infrastructure. YOOG’s success will be directly related to data quality, developer adoption, and ecosystem growth.
Data Asset Concept and YOOG Approach
At the center of YOOG is the “Data Asset” concept. Data Assets represent processed and economically valuable data sets. These assets are securely represented on the blockchain using Semi-Fungible Token (SFT) structure.
YOOG’s data processing mechanism takes raw data, large data sets, or special data collections and:
- Cleans
- Pre-processes
- Enriches
- Makes them licensable
and then tokenizes them in NFT format. Thus, these data are protected against unauthorized use and become directly purchasable by AI developers.
What is Data NFT?
Data NFT is a blockchain-based digital asset that represents the copyright or special licensing authority of a specific data set. This NFT represents the “base IP” (basic intellectual property) of the data.
When a data set is published in the YOOG ecosystem:
- A new Data NFT is created
- Ownership of the data is recorded on-chain
- Revenue rights are automatically defined
This structure places data sets into a legal and economic framework similar to physical ownership documents. The smart contract of the NFT manages revenue sharing, access permissions, and licensing conditions.
