Vana Network

---

The first decentralized network for user-owned data

Documentation • Discord • Network

We believe in an open internet where users own their data and the AI models they contribute to.

AI models should be created more like open source software: iteratively by a community. To make this possible, researchers need access to the world's best datasets that are held captive across walled gardens. Users can break down these walled gardens by exporting their own data.

We are building towards a user-owned foundation model, trained by 100M users who contribute their data and compute.

Getting Started

To get started with Vana, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/vana-com/vana-framework.git
   

2. Install the required dependencies using poetry:

   poetry install
   

3. Setup vanacli

   pip install vana
   

Wallets

Wallets are the core ownership and identity technology around which all functions on Vana are carried out. Vana wallets consists of a coldkey and hotkey where the coldkey may contain many hotkeys, while each hotkey can only belong to a single coldkey. Coldkeys store funds securely, and operate functions such as transfers and staking, while hotkeys are used for all online operations such as signing queries, running miners and validating.

vanacli --help

usage: vanacli <command> <command args> wallet [-h] {balance,create,new_hotkey,new_coldkey,regen_coldkey,regen_coldkeypub,regen_hotkey,update,history} ...

positional arguments:
  {balance,create,new_hotkey,new_coldkey,regen_coldkey,regen_coldkeypub,regen_hotkey,update,history}
                        Commands for managing and viewing wallets.
    balance             Checks the balance of the wallet.
    create              Creates a new coldkey (for containing balance) under the specified path.
    new_hotkey          Creates a new hotkey (for running a miner) under the specified path.
    new_coldkey         Creates a new coldkey (for containing balance) under the specified path.
    regen_coldkey       Regenerates a coldkey from a passed value
    regen_coldkeypub    Regenerates a coldkeypub from the public part of the coldkey.
    regen_hotkey        Regenerates a hotkey from a passed mnemonic
    update              Updates the wallet security using NaCL instead of ansible vault.
    history             Fetch transfer history associated with the provided wallet

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

You should be able to view your keys by navigating to ~/.vana/wallets

$ tree ~/.vana/
    .vana/                  # Root directory.
        wallets/                # The folder containing all vana wallets.
            default/            # The name of your wallet, "default"
                coldkey         # Your encrypted coldkey.
                coldkeypub.txt  # Your coldkey public address
                hotkeys/        # The folder containing all of your hotkeys.
                    default     # You unencrypted hotkey information.

Your default wallet Wallet (default, default, ~/.vana/wallets/) is always used unless you specify otherwise. Be sure to store your mnemonics safely. If you lose your password to your wallet, or the access to the machine where the wallet is stored, you can always regenerate the coldkey using the mnemonic you saved from above.

vanacli wallet regen_coldkey --mnemonic **** *** **** **** ***** **** *** **** **** **** ***** *****

Using the cli
