#### What is CapyData? <a href="#what-is-capydata" id="what-is-capydata"></a>

**CapyData** is a decentralized data marketplace built on the **Sui blockchain**. It allows users to securely monetize their datasets or purchase high-quality data for AI, research, and analytics without relying on centralized intermediaries.Unlike traditional cloud storage or data brokers, CapyData ensures that **you remain in control**. Files are encrypted on your device before they ever touch the internet, and access is managed strictly through ownership of digital assets (NFTs).

**Core Mission**

Our mission is to power Web3-native AI and data workflows by combining:

1. **Privacy:** Client-side encryption (SEAL).
2. **Permanence:** Decentralized storage (Walrus).
3. **Ownership:** Move-based NFTs for access control.
