Problem Statement

Limitations of Centralized Data Marketplaces

Centralized data storage and verification methods raise concerns about data integrity and security.

Lack of Trustworthy Escrow Mechanisms

Traditional escrow services are often costly, slow, and opaque, lacking real-time verifiability.
