Abstract

A system, method, and platform for monetizing data. A selection is received from a user to monetize a data object associated with the user. Data associated with the data object is compiled. A security token is generated referencing the data. The data object is monetized utilizing the security token in accordance with the selection.

Claims (40)

1 . A method for monetizing data, comprising:

receiving a selection from a user specifying data associated with the user that is monetizable and how to monetize the data associated with a data object;

automatically compiling from a plurality of distinct sources the data associated with the data object according to the selection for utilization in a security token, wherein the data is associated with the user and enabled to include application data, financial data, and health data, and wherein the data is automatically compiled from a plurality of distinct sources with access to the data associated with the user;

validating and valuing the data prior to generating the security token;

generating the security token including a reference to the data object with the data associated with the user, wherein the security token is a blockchain token; and

monetizing the data object for at least the user utilizing the security token in accordance with the selection.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection is an opt in received from the user.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

validating and valuing the data object.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the validating and valuation is performed by artificial intelligence.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security token is a blockchain-based token utilized by a blockchain platform.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the selection specifies that the data object is monetized for one or more of a charity, tax deduction, offset to a cost, reward, and profit.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the data object includes one or more profiles associated with the user, a website, an application, or a service.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

incentivizing and rewarding the user with additional blockchain tokens for providing additional data or updated data for the data object associated with the security token.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the security token is monetized through a payment to a vendor, payment between third parties, digital currency, tracking a life of an asset, purchasing a share or asset in a company, participating in an initial coin offering (ICO), exchanged for a reward, a charitable contribution or tax deduction.

10 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

storing the data object in a secure storage; and

creating access information to the data object referenced in the security token.

11 . The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

sending a receipt of the purchase to the user indicating the purchase and the associated advertising, marketing or cause-based actions taken by the one or more businesses.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

permitting access to the data object in the secure storage in response to access information.

13 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving compensation to be paid the user for utilization of the data object.

14 . A system for performing data monetization, comprising: a plurality of electronic devices executing a data application, the data application is configured to display data; and

a data platform accessible by the plurality of wireless devices executing the data application through one or more networks, wherein the data platform receives a selection from a user specifying data associated with the user that is monetizable and how to monetize the data associated with the user, automatically compiles the data associated with the user from a plurality of distinct sources, validating and valuing the data prior to generating a security token, wherein the data is enabled to include application data, financial data, and health data, generate the a security token associated with the data, wherein the security token is a blockchain token, and monetizes the data for at least the user utilizing the security token in accordance with the selection.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the data platform disassociates the data from the user for securely managing the data for the user.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the security token is the blockchain token that includes an encryption key for accessing the key, and wherein the data is stored in a blockchain ledger in communication with the data platform.

17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the selection specifies that the data is monetized for one or more of a charity, tax deduction, offset to a cost, reward, and profit, and wherein the data includes one or more profiles associated with the user, a website, an application, or a service.

18 . A data platform, comprising:

a processor for executing a set of instructions;

a memory for storing the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions are executed to:

receive a selection from a user specifying data associated with the user that is monetizable and how to monetize the data associated with a data object,

automatically compile the data associated with the user from a plurality of distinct sources;

validating and valuing the data prior to generating the security token;

wherein the data is enabled to include application data, financial data, and health data;

generate a security token including the data associated with the user, wherein the security token is a blockchain token; monetize the data for at least the user utilizing the security token in accordance with the selection.

19 . The data platform of claim 18 , wherein the set of instructions are further executed to disassociate the data from the user for securely managing the data for the user.

20 . The data platform of claim 18 , wherein the security token is a blockchain token that includes an encryption key for accessing the key, and wherein the data is securely stored in a blockchain ledger in communication with the data platform.
