# Sovereign Data Control (Proof of Concept)

Users today lack true ownership and control over their personal data, which is often siloed in centralized systems that limit transparency, privacy, and control. Current knowledge management solutions do not fully empower users with sovereignty over their data.

### Solution Overview

The [Data Ownership (SOLID + BSV) proof of concept](https://hub.bsvblockchain.org/demos-and-onboardings/demo-solutions/demos/data-ownership) integrates SOLID pods with BSV blockchain to create a decentralized personal knowledge management system.

SOLID provides personal data vaults with user ownership, while BSV enables public timestamping, notarization, and micropayments.

The demo shows **users maintaining data control while leveraging BSV for proof of existence, governance, and immutable audit trails.**

Built as a "second brain" application using NextJS and W3C standards, it demonstrates pay-per-use storage with micropayments, content sharing capabilities, and seamless AI integration while following decentralized identity management protocols.
