The Data Economy Is Broken
Today, your data flows to Google, Meta, and OpenAI — and you get nothing. These companies built trillion-dollar empires on your browsing history, your conversations, your photos, your preferences. The exchange? “Free” services that monetize you as the product.
The numbers tell the story:
- Google earned $307B in 2024 — 77% from advertising powered by user data
- Meta earned $135B — nearly 100% from user-data-driven ads
- OpenAI trains on billions of web pages — zero compensation to creators
You are the most valuable resource in the digital economy, and you’re being extracted for free.
PEMOS Changes Everything
PEMOS (Privacy-Enhanced Marketplace for Operational Sovereignty) is a consent-first data economy built on a simple principle: your data, your rules, your earnings.
Three layers make it work:
🛡️ Guardian
Your Data Vault
Before anything else, Guardian protects you. It’s an air-gapped PII scanner and encrypted vault that runs on your device. Your data is classified, encrypted, and stored locally — never uploaded without your explicit consent.
- 40+ PII classifiers (SSN, health, financial, biometric)
- Military-grade encryption (AES-256-GCM)
- Air-gapped by default — no internet access
- You hold the keys, always
🔗 PEMOS Marketplace
Your Consent, Your Terms
The marketplace connects you with companies that want your data — on your terms. Set granular consent per data type, per company, per purpose. See exactly who’s asking, what they want, and what they’ll pay.
- Per-field, per-use consent controls
- Cryptographic consent ledger (tamper-proof)
- Real-time consent revocation
- Transparent pricing per data type
- AI training data marketplace
⚡ Solana Settlement
Your Earnings, Instantly
When a company accesses your data with consent, PEMcoin flows directly to your wallet. Settlement happens on Solana — sub-second finality, near-zero fees, fully transparent on-chain.
- PEMcoin (SPL token) micropayments
- Sub-second settlement on Solana
- No custodial wallets — you own your keys
- On-chain audit trail for every transaction
- Cash out anytime via DEX
How It Works
For Users (Data Owners)
Step 1: Install Guardian Download Guardian on your device. It scans and classifies your data, encrypts it, and stores it in your local vault. Nothing leaves your device.
Step 2: Set Your Consent Open the PEMOS dashboard and configure what you’re willing to share. “Yes, my anonymized browsing patterns for recommendation research — $0.02/query.” “No, my health data — not for any price.”
Step 3: Earn PEMcoin When a data consumer matches your consent terms, encrypted data flows through the PEMOS API and PEMcoin settles to your wallet. You see every transaction in real time.
Step 4: Revoke Anytime Changed your mind? Revoke consent with one click. The data pipeline stops immediately. Your vault, your rules.
For Companies (Data Consumers)
Step 1: Browse the Marketplace Search for data types, demographics, consent terms. See anonymized profiles with pricing. No PII is exposed until consent and payment are confirmed.
Step 2: Submit Data Requests Specify what you need: data type, volume, purpose, duration. The marketplace matches you with consenting users automatically.
Step 3: Access Consented Data Once matched, encrypted data streams through the PEMOS API. Full provenance chain from user consent to your model. EU AI Act compliant out of the box.
Step 4: Settle with PEMcoin Payment flows automatically to data owners via Solana. Transparent, auditable, instant. No invoicing, no payment delays.
The PEMOS Managed Experience
When you use PEMOS Pro (this platform), you get the full managed experience:
| Feature | PEMOS Pro (Managed) | Self-Hosted (OSS) |

| Guardian Vault | ✅ Managed + monitored | ✅ You manage |
| Consent Dashboard | ✅ Full web UI | ✅ CLI + basic UI |
| Marketplace Access | ✅ Full marketplace | ✅ Connect via API |
| Settlement | ✅ Automatic Solana settlement | ✅ Manual wallet setup |
| AI Agents | ✅ PEMOS fleet manages your data strategy | ❌ Not included |

PEMOS Pro is the easiest way to participate in the consent economy. We handle the infrastructure, monitoring, and updates. You set your consent and collect PEMcoin.
Why This Matters Now
The AI Training Data Crisis
AI companies are running out of clean training data:
- Web scraping faces legal challenges (NYT v. OpenAI, Getty v. Stability AI)
- Synthetic data causes “model collapse” — models trained on AI output degrade
- Licensed datasets are expensive, limited, and slow to acquire
- The EU AI Act requires training data provenance and consent documentation
PEMOS creates the marketplace that solves this crisis. Clean, consented, diverse human data with full provenance chains. This isn’t speculative — it’s a regulatory requirement that’s already being enforced.
The Regulatory Tailwind
Every new privacy law makes PEMOS more valuable:
| Year | Regulation | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 | GDPR (EU) | Consent-first framework established |
| 2020 | CCPA (California) | Opt-out rights, data broker regulation |
| 2022 | PIPEDA reform (Canada) | Strengthened meaningful consent |
| 2024 | EU AI Act | Training data transparency required |
| 2025+ | US federal privacy law (proposed) | National consent requirements |
The regulatory direction is unambiguous: consent will be mandatory. PEMOS is the infrastructure for that future.
Why Nobody Else Can Build This
Google Can’t
Google’s $307B revenue depends on using your data without direct compensation. A consent marketplace would cannibalize their core business. They will never build this — it’s structurally impossible.
Meta Can’t
Same story. Meta’s entire advertising model requires uncompensated data access. A consent economy is antithetical to their revenue model.
Only PEMOS Has the Full Stack
No other platform combines:
- 🛡️ PII Protection (Guardian vault)
- 🤖 AI Agents (PEMOS fleet management)
- 🔗 Consent Marketplace (PEMOS API)
- ⚡ On-chain Settlement (Solana)
Others have pieces. Some have vaults. Some have marketplaces. Some have tokens. Nobody has the complete pipeline from protection to economy to settlement — with AI agents managing the entire flow.

Security Principles
- Zero Trust — Every component authenticates via mTLS. No implicit trust.
- Air-Gapped Vault — Guardian vault has no direct internet access. Data only flows through the PEMOS API proxy after consent verification.
- Cryptographic Consent — Every consent grant is cryptographically signed and stored on an append-only ledger. Tamper-proof.
- Key Sovereignty — Users hold their own encryption keys and wallet keys. PEMOS never has custody.
- Minimal Data Exposure — Data consumers receive only the specific fields they have consent for. No bulk access.
