Have you ever thought about it? Three years of smartwatch data—heart rate, sleep, exercise tracks—are now sleeping in the servers of a certain tech company, and you have no say in it. These valuable biological features generate value for them every day, while you get nothing.



Here's a different approach: use a decentralized network to store your health data. When medical research institutions need large-scale anonymous data for clinical analysis, they can request access permissions. What's the key? The data is analyzed inside an encrypted black box, and they can only see the statistical summary results, never tracing back to who the original data belongs to.

Your data always remains in your hands. Research institutions get the research material they need. You receive compensation. Privacy protection, data rights confirmation, value circulation—achieving all three goals simultaneously. This is the real-world application of privacy computing in Web3.

Damn, this is the right mindset. --- Decentralized storage should have been popularized long ago; now it's being completely dominated by big corporations. --- Claiming data rights is nice in theory, but the key question is: can you really make money from it? --- People keep talking about privacy computing, but there are so few applications daring enough to use it. --- Web3 still needs to wait; the infrastructure isn't mature enough yet. --- Big corporations' pattern of exploiting users has become tiresome; I support trying a different approach. --- Privacy black boxes sound good, but who will supervise to ensure true transparency? --- Finally, someone has explained this issue clearly. --- It's just a lack of a truly trustworthy execution mechanism.

Sounds ideal, but I'm more curious about who will maintain this decentralized network. Will it be another group of big players? Ah, the data privacy issue really hits close to home. In the internet age, whose body data isn't in someone else's hands? Privacy computing black box sounds good, but I don't know how it will actually be implemented. Whether to trust it or not is still a question mark.

It sounds wonderful, but who guarantees that decentralized nodes won't steal data? --- Both privacy computing and Web3, in the end, are just ways to cut leeks again. --- Someone should have said this earlier. The data from my watch has already been completely consumed. --- The problem is, who is responsible for maintaining decentralized storage? What if it crashes? --- Data rights confirmation sounds good, but can users really understand this logic? --- Compared to boasting about Web3 as a savior, I want to know the implementation timeline. Don’t let it be another three or five years project. --- This logic is sound, but it requires big companies willing to give up data monopolies. --- Privacy computing, huh? Will my data be seen through by some node operator? --- Finally, someone pointed out this pain point. Tech giants are eating too well. --- They talk all fancy, but in actual deployment, could it just be another vaporware project?

My watch data has long become a gold mine for others, just thinking about it makes me angry. Wait, can that privacy computing setup really be implemented? It sounds pretty good. Data sovereignty needs someone to push it, otherwise big companies will keep earning passively. Can Web3 solve data monopoly? Honestly, I have some doubts. Anonymous analysis, privacy protection, and still getting paid? If it really works like that, I’d believe it. Speaking of which, it’s been three years since biometric data, and now it’s too late to get it back. I feel that privacy computing is the right direction, but how difficult is it to implement? Big tech companies’ profits—Web3 trying to take a bite out of that isn’t so easy. Are any of you really using decentralized storage for health data? I buy into this logic, but the key question is, who dares to truly delegate authority?
