The Vana Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to sustaining and guiding the Vana network—open and decentralized infrastructure built to make true data ownership and portability possible. Vana frees personal data from closed corporate systems, empowering individuals to own, control, and leverage their data in entirely new ways. With Vana, individuals can seamlessly move their data across platforms and applications, unlocking a world where AI agents, customization, and insights are tailored directly to the user, by the user.

The Foundation’s role is to ensure the Vana network remains sustainable, resilient, and aligned with these values as the ecosystem grows and new applications emerge. By nurturing community-driven governance and supporting innovations in data portability, the Vana Foundation envisions a future where individuals hold real power over their data, opening new gateways for personal growth, AI customization, and collective intelligence. For those ready to invest in a future driven by true data ownership, the Vana Foundation is building the path toward a fair, secure, and user-centered digital economy.
