Together, your data is an asset.
One answer a day. Pooled with your neighbours', it tells sellers what your area needs — and the reward comes back to everyone.
Three things. That's it.
1Answer today's question
One tap, a few seconds, tokens for every answer. Your answers join your neighbours' — never alone, never with your name.
2See what's on offer near you
Real products from real local sellers, at honest prices — because they already know what your area asked for.
3Your data works for everyone
Answers and orders feed the Commons Fund — a permanent fund for the neighbourhoods that built it. Your tokens are the record of what you put in.
Nobody has to guess what you need.
A shop serving a neighbourhood is mostly guessing — what to stock, how much, whether anyone will buy. Guessing is expensive: unsold stock, wasted trips, adverts to people who never wanted the thing. When households say what they need up front, that waste disappears — and that is where a better price comes from. Not squeezed out of anyone. Less guessing means less waste: fewer unsold goods, fewer wasted trips, a lighter footprint for the whole neighbourhood.

Every answer earns tokens. Every delivery earns more.
They never expire. They're yours.
Tokens are your record of what you put in. They give you a voice in how the fund's earnings are spent.
Your data should earn — for you and your neighbourhood.
That is what DataPay is for. Pooled, household data becomes product intelligence for sellers — what to make, how much, and where — so markets waste less. Households never pay. Here is what happens to every rupee DataPay earns.
A part runs the platform
Running, maintaining and developing DataPay.
The rest goes into the Commons Fund
A permanent fund that no one owns and no one can withdraw — not members, not DataPay, not any buyer. The fund itself is never spent.
What the fund earns is spent
Shared with the people who contributed and their neighbourhoods — paid out or left to grow, as each community decides. Over time it also backs loans and crop insurance for local farmers and producer groups.
The fund is being set up as a trust. Until then what your data earns is held, and nothing has been paid out.How the fund works →
Melukote, Mandya — where DataPay started.
Your name never leaves your Vault.
Sellers only ever see what 10 or more households say together. Never you.

Brands, producer groups, farmers and SHGs all sell through DataPay. List what you have, ask your own questions, and see what real local households need — never who they are.
