The Dataswyft Network is the global data-exchange infrastructure that connects every Dataswyft Wallet and HAT Microserver into a secure, lawful, and interoperable ecosystem.

It is where individuals, organisations, and apps interact through verified roles, exchange data under contract, and generate value without giving up control.

A Network of Personal Data Accounts

At its core, the network hosts millions of HAT Microservers — owned by an individual and hosted in Dataswyft Vaults.

Every HAT contains multiple Personal Data Accounts (PDAs) that compartmentalizes data from trusted sources such as schools, employers, or businesses.

Because every HAT is owned by a person, the network operates as a federation of human-owned databases, rather than one central repository.

How the Network Works

1. Wallets connect people and organisations. Each Dataswyft Wallet manages the person’s or organisation’s roles, badges, and data-use contracts.
2. Apps act as market interfaces. Apps like CheckD or Kuza build on the network to let users use their data for their purposes whether it’s to learn and earn, or to enable visibility of farmers for financing
3. Data moves only under contract. When a wallet shares or licenses data, the event is recorded in both parties’ HATs — creating an auditable, license-based exchange.
4. Vault infrastructure keeps data safe. The network’s distributed vaults provide secure hosting, encryption, and jurisdictional compliance, ensuring data stays under the rightful owner’s legal control.

Why It’s Different

• Human-centred design – Every node belongs to a person or organisation acting through a verified badge, not a platform account.
• Contract-based trust – Data moves only when a legal agreement exists between wallets, automatically executed by the protocol.
• Ecosystem independence – Any app, sector, or jurisdiction can connect through standard APIs, creating a marketplace of interoperable services.
• Built-in auditability – Every transaction generates consent receipts and proof logs for transparency and compliance.

The Outcome

The Dataswyft Network transforms the internet’s data layer into a rights-based economy.

People and organisations exchange verified data directly — safely, transparently, and profitably — without intermediaries owning the data in between.

Together, the Wallet, the HAT, and the Network form the foundation for a new digital world where data has owners, not users.
