The social platform and policy framework where your data is your property — and you earn a dividend every time it's used.
What you see here was built on $393 in donations. The demos are working prototypes — the live platform launches when the community is ready. Every person who joins brings it closer.
Every time you browse, post, shop, or scroll, you generate data. That data is collected, packaged, and sold — billions of dollars worth of it annually. You receive nothing.
Tech platforms earn $50-200 per user per year from your behavioral data. You see none of it.
No US federal law recognizes personal data as personal property. You have no legal claim to its value.
The Global South generates the most underrepresented data — and receives the least compensation for it.
Built on the principle that your data is your property. Tested where it matters most. Brought home to every family, farmer, and worker — everywhere.
A social network where every interaction shows you what it's worth. Transparent value exchange. Opt-in advertising. Real-time dividends. Your data vault, your control, your earnings.
The Personal Data Dividend and Economic Sovereignty Act (PDESA) — federal legislation establishing data as property. This is the Alaska Permanent Fund for the digital economy: you own the resource, you earn from it.
We're launching first in Kenya — where mobile money infrastructure is years ahead of most of the world — to prove the model works at scale. When it does, policymakers everywhere will have no excuse not to act.
This is a working prototype of the Data Dividend Network social platform. Every feature you see here is designed to make the economic relationship between you and your data completely transparent.
AMAT is a working prototype of the Data Dividend Network — a mutual aid platform where you voice a need or share a resource, and the commons finds the match. This is what data sovereignty looks like in practice: your data, your participation, your dividend.

We're not building this in Kenya instead of everywhere else. We're building it there first because the infrastructure is ready and the impact is immediate — so workers, farmers, and families worldwide get a system that's already been battle-tested.
M-Pesa in Kenya handles more mobile transactions than PayPal does globally. India's UPI processes 10 billion payments per month. The digital identity and payment rails we need? They're already built and proven in emerging markets. We're not waiting for the US banking system to catch up.
A $400 annual data dividend in rural Kenya is transformative. Testing where the impact is highest gives us better data on what works — and that data makes the policy case stronger everywhere, from Nairobi to Ottawa to Washington.
When we walk into a legislative hearing and say "50 million people across twelve countries are already earning data dividends," the question shifts from "will this work?" to "why are we making people wait?" That's the kind of proof that moves legislation anywhere in the world.
This isn't charity, and it isn't charity economics. This is a universal principle — your data is your property, your labour has value, your dignity is non-negotiable — proven in the toughest environments first, then brought to every country that's ready to act.
This campaign funds one year of full-time founder dedication to making data dividends real — from Kenya pilots to congressional hearings.
Your donation funds: founder stipend ($60K), legal infrastructure ($20K), technical prototype ($18K), congressional outreach ($12K), communications ($7K), and operations ($3K). Full transparency, quarterly reporting.
