Data Ownership Protocol (DOP): Enhancing Control Over Your Data Privacy

The public nature of transaction data and wallet balances is among the biggest advantages of blockchain technology. It's widely believed that the public viewability of blockchains helps improve transparency and accountability within the overall ecosystem. However, in many cases, overly transparent access to blockchain data may not be in the best interests of users, both individuals and companies leveraging blockchain platforms for their operations.

Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) is a recently launched Ethereum-based solution that helps users protect their blockchain data from public view, and also enables them to selectively disclose only certain aspects of their transaction histories and balances. Using cryptographic encryption technologies, such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Argument of Knowledge (zk-SNARK), the protocol puts web3 users in total control of their blockchain data, allowing them to conduct transactions securely and privately.

Key Takeaways:

• Data Ownership Protocol (DOP) is an Ethereum-based solution that lets web3 users selectively protect their transaction and wallet data from public view.

• DOP powers its services by using two cutting-edge cryptographic encryption techniques — ECDSA and zk-SNARKs.

• Its native token, DOP, is used for fee payments, staking and governance. DOP can be traded on the Bybit Spot market.
