Overview of the Verida Private Data Data Bridge

The Verida Private Data Bridge is currently in private alpha to early builders.

The Verida Private Data Bridge is a collection of technologies and infrastructure that enable end users to extract their data from existing centralized platforms (ie: Google, Apple, Telegram, Discord), store it encrypted on the Verida Network and then authorize their data to be used with AI and other third party applications.

Verida Data Bridge: Flow of user data from existing platforms to users to third party applications

The Verida Private Data Bridge consists of:

1. Verida Vault: Web interface for end users to connect and extract their data from centralized platforms

2. Private Data APIs: A collection of APIs for developers to authorize, authenticate, query and run AI prompts against private user data.

3. Data Connections: A framework for writing standardized code, with unit tests, for each connector. These data connectors are responsible for authenticating, authorizing and syncronizing user data from centralized platforms.

4. Data Bridge Server: Backend server, running on Verida's Confidential Compute infrastructure, that facilitates data connections and syncronization of data for end users

5. Blockchain Bridge: A set of smart contracts and client side libraries that enable user data to be submitted on-chain and verified.
