One token
for the entire
data economy*
$1MB is the unit of account for data on the decentralized web. Store it with Lighthouse. Earn it with 1MB. Spend it wherever your bytes travel — from immutable IPFS pins to AI training sets to checkout at your favorite store.
$1MB goes live in
T-minus.
Data has two problems. Where it lives, and who it belongs to. $1MB solves both.
The permanentsubstrate.
Immutable IPFS pinning backed by Filecoin. Encryption, token-gated access, dedicated gateways, bandwidth, and cryptographic proof-of-storage — the rails data actually needs to survive.
- Perpetual IPFS + Filecoin pinning
- Threshold encryption & access control
- Dedicated gateways + video streaming
- Verifiable storage proofs
The humandata layer.
A browser extension that lets people contribute their browsing, shopping, and consented signals — public or private — and earn $1MB for the value they already generate every day.
- Earn while browsing supported stores
- Contribute & validate datasets
- Spend rewards at checkout in crypto
- Consent-first, anonymized by default
One token. Every action across the stack.
Pay for permanent storage
Settle Lighthouse storage fees, bandwidth, encryption add-ons, and gateway usage in $1MB. Treasury flows convert fees into long-term Filecoin deal commitments.
Earn for contributing data
Install the 1MB extension and get rewarded in $1MB for the consented browsing, shopping, and activity signals you already generate. Your data, finally, on your balance sheet.
Spend at checkout
Redeem $1MB with crypto-payment partners on Amazon, Walmart, Flipkart & more.
Validate & curate
Stake $1MB to validate datasets, flag bad actors, and earn curation rewards.
Unlock access
Token-gate private files, premium datasets, and AI-ready collections.
Govern the data commons
$1MB holders steer treasury allocation, fee parameters, storage-pricing oracles, and which datasets the protocol funds next. One token, shared control over both the storage layer and the marketplace layer that sits on top of it.
AI is starving for real human data. $1MB is how you feed it — ethically.
Foundation models need consented, labeled, high-signal data from actual humans — not scraped dumps. $1MB creates a marketplace where people get paid for the data, storage is cryptographically verified on Lighthouse, and AI builders get datasets that didn't exist before: consented, provenanced, auditable, and on-chain.
New use cases unlock that simply weren't possible on centralized rails — personal fine-tunes you actually own, verifiable training provenance, and datasets where every contributor earns royalties when their data is used downstream.
Four moves. One loop.
Install
Drop the 1MB extension into your browser and connect any Solana wallet. Thirty seconds.
Earn
Browse normally. Shop where you already shop. Your consented signals convert into $1MB, automatically.
Store
Pin your data to Lighthouse — encrypted, permanent, provable. Pay the fees in the same $1MB you just earned.
Spend
Check out in crypto, unlock datasets, or stake to govern. Every loop compounds the data economy.
What you're probably wondering.
Why one token for two products?
Because they're really one product. Lighthouse is the storage layer — the bytes have to live somewhere permanent and provable. 1MB is the incentive layer — the humans generating and consuming those bytes need a way to get paid and to pay. Splitting them into two tokens would just create friction in a loop that's meant to flow.
Why Solana?
Micro-transactions. Paying fractions of a cent to pin a file, rewarding a user for a single page visit, streaming royalties to a dataset contributor — none of that works on high-fee chains. Solana's SPL standard, combined with Pyth price feeds, gives us the throughput and tooling the data economy actually needs.
Is my data really mine?
Yes. The extension only collects what you explicitly consent to, anonymized at the source. No passwords, no messages, no creepy scraping. You can pause, revoke, or delete at any time. The whole point is to flip the model: you are the seller, not the product.
How does $1MB price storage?
A TWAP oracle built on Jupiter and Pyth continuously prices storage fees in $1MB against USD-equivalent Filecoin deal costs. That means when you pay to pin a file, you pay the real cost of storage — no manipulation, no hidden margin, just an on-chain price feed the community can audit.
What makes this different from other "data tokens"?
Most data tokens are a marketplace with no storage, or a storage network with no marketplace. $1MB is both — a vertically integrated stack where the storage is provable, the contributors are paid, and the same token moves through every step of the loop. Plus: we're already live. Lighthouse has been running in production for years.
When does the token launch?
$1MB has not launched yet. The tokenomics are finalized, the whitepaper is live, and technical implementation is underway across smart contract, backend, and frontend teams. There is no token, no contract address, and no sale at this time. Anyone claiming otherwise is a scam — join the waitlist below to get the official launch announcement first.
