The Terminal 3 Network (T3N) is a decentralized private data network that empowers individuals and enterprises with self-sovereign control over sensitive data, enabling verifiable private identities, secure AI agent interactions, and a trusted data economy. T3N allows applications, smart contracts, and AI agents to perform actions and transactions without directly exposing raw user data. Example use cases include:
  • Reusable verified user data: reusable, interoperable, and regulatory compliant KYC/AML credentials that reduce friction, speed up onboarding, and keep data secure and private.
  • Automate transactional tasks with AI agents: enable AI agents to conduct “last mile” transactions (e.g., booking a hotel) without sharing sensitive data with the agents.
  • Delegate access to human helpers: temporary and restricted access to a person’s private data or credentials may still be necessary for human helpers, such as personal assistants, family members, or professionals, to complete certain tasks.
For enterprises, T3N addresses critical challenges in AI agent identity, permission and delegation, data privacy, and auditability challenges, making it suitable for high-stakes and inter-enterprise workflows.

Users

The participants in the T3N ecosystem include:
  • Developers - Principals (individuals, organizations, or software agents) that build, integrate, or maintain AI agent applications.
  • Data owners - Principals that own or are legally responsible for private or sensitive user or enterprise data and define how that data may be used.
  • Data providers - Principals that supply data to the decentralized user data network. Data providers are typically data owners, but may also be third parties or agents explicitly authorized by data owners.
  • Data consumers - Principals that access and use data from the decentralized user data network in accordance with granted permissions and applicable compensation terms.
  • Node operators - Principals responsible for operating, maintaining, and securing the infrastructure of the decentralized user data network.
  • Compliance authorities - Principals responsible for enforcing compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards. This includes government regulators and recognized industry bodies.
  • Verifiable Credential (VC) issuers - Principals that issue verifiable credentials that can be independently validated.
  • VC verifiers - Principals that verify the authenticity, integrity, and validity of verifiable credentials.
