Technical Components of the Collective Digital Immune System CODIS

NOMIX

November 13, 2021

The integration of technological advances, specifically in the fields of decentralization and cryptography, provides scientists and entrepreneurs with the tools for transforming a hitherto conceptual approach of the collective digital immune system into a practical application. The Collective Digital Immune System CODIS will be usable by every individual with access to the internet, and health professionals, from scientists to physicians.

Here’s a summary of CODIS‘ technical components.

NOMIX Wallet

The NOMIX Wallet allows for search & discovery, computation on, and billing of CODIS data. It comes with a fully-fledged Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) functionality: individual and professional users can verifiably authenticate themselves digitally while being in full control of their data. This unique privacy feature supported by Compute-to-Data by Ocean Protocol makes the NOMIX Wallet fully compliant with EU laws and regulations. Integrated EVERKEY and EVERID mechanisms by Datarella allow for secure management of all data and recovery of potentially lost data, s.a. keyphrases (e.g. passwords) even in completely decentralised storage. Additionally, users receive NOMIX Reward tokens in their NOMIX Wallet as rewards for their active participation in creating and maintaining CODIS. This mechanism helps to maintain sustainable overall market growth.

NOMIX Autonomous Agents

Individual and professional users can make use of a variety of Autonomous Agents, s.a. Autonomous Privacy Agents (AMA) that autonomously safeguard user data and other data privacy compliant with GDPR, or Autonomous Search Agents (ASA) that search and discover for personal omics data, adding them to CODIS and analyse them in their contexts. Autonomous Agents improve automated data services to a degree that users themselves get a better understanding of their personal omics and how to leverage this knowledge to improve individual and overall health conditions. Autonomous Agents are powered by Fetch.ai technology. In the long-term, Autonomous Agents will help to establish a privacy-preserving data environment, allowing users to pro-actively opt-in receiving personalized recommendations, rather than being targeted by unsolicited push services.

NOMIX Reward Tokens

Individual and professional NOMIX users can earn NOMIX ‘Nanos’ for a bunch of different CODIS data activities that can be converted into NOMIX Reward tokens, airdropped to the NOMIX Wallet. Activities include – among others – the provision of personal omics data, creating and sharing algorithms to compute on the CODIS data, etc. NOMIX tokens power the work of Autonomous Agents, i.e. they facilitate the communication between the NOMIX users; s.a. search & discovery, computation on, and billing of CODIS data. Autonomous Search and Privacy Agents will be fed with NOMIX tokens in order to allow for a privacy-preserving search and discovery, and contextualised way of safeguarding CODIS data. Some fraction of the NOMIX fees and Autonomous Agents fees are used to buy back NOMX and burn.

In short, the NOMIX reward token takes on the function of a lubricant for NOMIX: it rewards and incentivises individual and professional users to provide personal omics data to create and maintain CODIS, and, at the same time, provides a sustainable business model for CODIS-related services – based on a GDPR-compliant, privacy-preserving data management.
