Masa Co-founder Calanthia Mei said, “In the age of AI, our personal data is mined and resold by tech companies every day to train AI models and AI agents. Everyone deserves to own and earn from their data. Masa’s invention of zkSBT finally makes this dream a reality: in a little over a year, Masa Network rapidly amassed 1.2 million user wallets, who contributed over 23 million proprietary data points. Our CoinList debut is giving limelight to our vision: shifting the power of data back to users. ”

Masa is the world’s leading personal data network that aims to shift the control of personal data back to users. It has pioneered Zero-Knowledge Soulbound Tokens (zkSBTs), an industry-leading encryption technology that serves as a cookie-less personal data locker. A person’s digital footprint and social graph, which can track a user’s internet browsing history or usage of a decentralized application, and is encrypted and stored in a completely private way in a personal zkSBT data locker.
Masa empowers users to own, share, and earn from their data. With Masa, users’ personally identifiable information remains private while shared in the data market and with developers.

With the explosion of AI models, Masa is a leader in supplying vast amounts of privacy-first personal training data, powering the future of AI applications. Developers can utilize Masa Network’s data to train AI models, build innovative apps, power decentralized advertising, and more. This is all done privately and securely with Masa’s invention of Zero-Knowledge Soulbound Tokens (zkSBTs). The data economy is finally becoming a reality.
The MASA token is the native utility token that powers the Masa Network. It has several key functions:
- Incentivizing data supply: Masa incentivizes users for contributing personal data to the Masa Network. Users earn passive rewards in MASA when their data is used by businesses and developers.
- Paying for data use: Businesses and developers pay fees to access and utilize the data, products, and services on the Masa network. Fees can be paid in MASA tokens, stablecoins, and other blockchain-native tokens. All non-MASA-denominated fees are subsequently swapped to MASA tokens, with a portion burned.
- Managing personal data: Users pay MASA gas fees on the Masa Avalanche Subnet to mint and manage their zkSBT, an encrypted personal data locker, with a portion of gas fees burned.
- Rewarding node operators: Masa Oracle node operators stake MASA to operate Masa’s zk-oracle nodes. Node operators receive staking rewards for the first two years of oracle operation. Staked tokens are locked for a vesting period.
- Governing the network: MASA holders can participate in network governance, voting on proposals like technical upgrades, fee structures, and others.
KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) checks are required for all participants on CoinList. The Masa CoinList sale is not available for residents of the United States, China, Canada, South Korea, and certain other jurisdictions CoinList does not support.
