Reef Data Pays You for What's Already Yours
Join us as we speak with Jürgen Kleeberger, Co-Founder, and Robin Hellmann, Business Development Lead, at Reef Data, a Hamburg-based data cooperative built on Cardano. They explain how everyday people can reclaim their Amazon, Google, and retail data, understand what it's really worth, and get paid when companies buy it, all verified on-chain instead of taken on trust. From dismantling "tech feudalism" to giving enterprises access to ethically sourced, consent-based data, it's a compelling look at what happens when Cardano makes sure people finally get paid for what's already theirs.
