Verida Missions: Pave the Way for a Decentralized Future

Verida, a privacy-first self-sovereign data network for web3, has officially launched its public release of Verida Missions, the highly anticipated incentivized testnet.

In this article, we delve into details of Verida Missions, highlight the success of the early access phase, and provide details on the inaugural mission.

Unlocking Personal Data Ownership with Verida

Verida enables individuals to reclaim their personal data and take control. With Verida Missions, everyone interested in privacy-focused data management on web3 can have a voice and actively shape the future of data ownership.

Building a Strong Foundation for Mainnet

Verida Missions will introduce a wide range of features and functionalities that enable users to actively participate in the testnet. Following a successful early access phase, which saw a staggering 10,000 decentralized identities (DIDs) created, the Verida community has been diligently testing on Verida Network’s Acacia testnet. This phase has been instrumental in uncovering and addressing bugs and issues, ensuring a resilient and robust network for the upcoming mainnet launch. Verida continues to encourage feedback from the community, as their input is invaluable in shaping the network’s future.

The Inaugural Verida Mission: Onboarding to the Verida Network

The first mission within Verida Missions focuses on onboarding participants to the Verida Network. Designed to familiarize users with the network’s features, functionalities, and ecosystem, this mission sets the stage for a seamless and enriching experience as a Verida user. Participants are guided through the process of setting up their Verida decentralized identity, updating their profile, and exploring the Verida Wallet. By completing this mission, users play a pivotal role in preparing the Verida Network for its mainnet launch. Stay tuned for future missions catering to storage node operators and builders.

A More Equitable Data Economy

Verida Missions not only offers an opportunity to contribute to the network’s development but also rewards users for their participation.

During the testnet phase, users can securely store and manage their data on the Verida Network at no cost. However, once the mainnet launches, Verida tokens (VDA) will serve as personal data storage credits, allowing users to continue enjoying secure and private data management within the network. You can read more about the Verida storage node economics in this article.

The Verida Token (VDA) creates a data economy enabling secure interactions between accounts to facilitate secure data storage, trusted sharing, fast querying and trusted messaging.

By completing tasks and actively testing the network, participants earn XP points*, which can be converted to VDA storage credits on the mainnet during the claim phase. 1,000,000 VDA have been allocated for Verida community incentives, and eligibility and conditions will apply for claiming tokens. More details on the claiming process will be covered in a future article.

*XP points are not shown in the current Verida Missions app. These will appear in the next app release.

Conclusion

Verida Missions has entered the public release phase, inviting users to join the mission and be part of the movement that empowers individuals to take control of their personal data, ensuring privacy, security, and autonomy in the digital world. With the success of the early access phase and the launch of the inaugural Verida Mission, the Verida community is actively shaping the Verida Network and preparing it for the mainnet launch. Together, we can shape a future where data is truly in our hands.
