Fishnet stands for Financial Signal Hosting Network and gives data owners sharing capabilities while maintaining full control and high privacy guarantees over their valuable time series data.
Because not everybody finds themselves equipped to monetize their skills and knowledge in a quantitative trading environment. Fishnet allows data analysts and engineers to unite their efforts and provides a neutral and secure platform to do so.
Through layering multiple security mechanisms:
Using a decentralized network -- powered by -- where no single entity controls the majority of the underlying compute and storage capabilities.
Employing with AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) on the latest generation of Zen 4 processors to keep hosts from peeking into your data.
such that each node receives only a fraction of the actual dataset.
Managing encryption and tamper-resistance using the cryptography of the blockchain of your choice.
. It is a protocol built on top of Aleph VMs running Python APIs and Services deployed by a central authority. All VM deployments and protocol-relevant metadata are tracked and stored through . Anybody can build on top of these open APIs for free and develop their data pipeline around Fishnet's protocols.
The VMs are deployed by a central authority, which keeps the VMs upgradable as long as development continues. Aleph allows deployed VMs to become immutable, which is the goal of Fishnet development.
It shall become a privacy primitive for any kind of data-intensive app you are planning to build, no matter if you choose to engage with DeFi or not.
Fishnet allows its users to:
Upload and describe time series data using text and preview charts
Compose new datasets from other users' data, given their permission
Request and grant fine-grained dataset access to users and algorithms
Upload algorithms to be executed across datasets
Track and analyze any interactions between users, datasets and algorithms
Monetize your datasets through on-chain programs linked with Fishnet VMs
We are planning to launch a governance token FNET and have a protocol treasury. We are using Aleph for compute and storage, so the protocol treasury needs to hold ALEPH to sustain itself. In order to grow the network, the protocol requires more ALEPH tokens over time which will be bought with treasury FNET tokens.
As the protocol requires a treasury to be managed, questions of how to deploy funds will arise. Enterprises and protocols building on Fishnet will want a stake and say in how the network should develop and serve their businesses. The Fishnet DAO aims to become a tight-knit community of on-chain analysts, dApp devs, prop shops, and freelancers.
