Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for dynamically valuing user-generated data assets and distributing compensation based on such valuation. A computing platform receives user data elements from disparate data sources and authenticates ownership of the data using a verification protocol.

Compensation to the user is automatically distributed in response to token valuation activity and third-party access transactions. In various embodiments, the valuation score is updated in real time, tokens may be bundled into composite data funds, and smart contracts control access rights, payout conditions, token expiration, and privacy-based revocation.
