Rido Protocol

Rido Protocol is a Web3 platform that lets individuals take ownership of their personal data and set programmable rules for who can access it and under what conditions. Users can migrate data originally created in Web2 apps onto the blockchain using the BNB Attestation Service, then define access permissions through NFTs, tokens, or custom logic rather than handing control to a single platform. Once data is represented this way, it can be shared across different applications instead of being locked into one service, and it can be listed on Rido's built-in data marketplace, where owners can offer or sell access to their information. The project describes this exchange layer as a DataFi protocol, aimed at letting data flow between parties as a tradable asset. Rido also references AI-powered recommendation features and "Virtual Life" 3D environments as part of its broader vision, though these are described in less concrete detail than the core data-ownership and marketplace mechanics. Rido targets data owners who want more control over their information and developers building applications that need to read or write user-permissioned data, with an example use case being businesses migrating CRM customer records into a tokenized loyalty program. The protocol runs on BNB Chain, with a live minting application at mint.rido.io and source code published on GitHub. Pricing and a formal API are not documented on the public site.
