Data Sovereignty
Control over data ownership and usage by its creator or owner.
What is Data Sovereignty?
Data sovereignty refers to the principle that data creators or owners retain control over how their data is accessed, used, and monetized. In the x402 ecosystem, data sovereignty is supported by enabling servers to gate data with HTTP 402 responses, ensuring only authorized agents paying via digital assets gain access. Decentralized data marketplaces further enhance sovereignty by allowing creators to set terms via smart contracts, preserving control over data distribution.
