Lydion Software
The Lydion DEOS Engine
The Lydion® DEOS Engine, also called the Lydion Data Economics Operating System (Lydion DEOS), is a middleware software engine used to develop distributed (or decentralized) applications and application platforms. Applications and application platforms built on Lydion capture energy spent in completing real-world work—via the digital data that signifies outcomes of task completion—as the foundation to create valuable and useful digital Lydion Data Assets stored in Lydion Vaults and transacted across DENETs—Data Economic Networks.
Intro to Data Economics and the Lydion DEOS Engine
In order to more fully understand the work of the Data Economic Company, it’s important to have a basic understanding of what Data Economics is and what the Lydion Data Economic Operating System does. This deck serves as an introduction to these topics.
Intro to Data Economics and the Lydion DEOS
A comprehensive introduction to Data Economics science, Lydion DEOS technology – including an appendix with a high-level look at the Lydion DEOS architecture – and how products called Lydion Solutions that power Data Economic Networks (DENETs) are created using the Lydion DEOS being developed with enterprise and academic partners.
This deck is also a good companion to the Introduction to Data Economics textbook and contains detailed diagrams illustrating the key concepts introduced in Chapters 2 to 5.
DECO’s scientific pipeline builds on its foundational research on data economics, workchains, and the transactional proof of work concept.
Further Education on Data Economic Science
How can the data that people and organizations generate every day create further value? Can that data, generated from different sources, for different reasons, and “owned” by different people and companies, be used in the same way that physical currency has in the past? These questions are at the heart of Data Economics.
In the Introduction to Data Economics series, we lay out the basics of Data Economic science and discuss the exciting applications enabled by this new field of study.
Health Outcomes Platform & Outcomes-Based Contracting/Value-Based Contracting Platform
Health Sciences Solutions enable the health care and life sciences ecosystem to realize the value of digital data in delivering improved outcomes for patients. Data Economics has transformational potential to solve long-intractable problems in health data and health economics, from paying for outcomes to verifying health interactions and making clinical evidence easier to analyze.

Paying for Health Outcomes: A Data Economic Approach
The use of digital data and Data Economic science enables us to get closer to the goal of truly understanding outcomes in health.
Proposing Securitization Of Outcomes-Based Agreements In BioPharma As A Hedge For Longevity Risk
OBA-based securities could provide a potential hedge against longevity risk held by pension funds and other institutional investors.
Developing a Real-World Outcomes Forecast Model using Matched Clinical Trials and Real-World Evidence
“Developing a real-world outcomes forecast model using matched oncology clinical trials and real world evidence to inform policy-making and reimbursement approaches”
A Scalable and GDPR-Compliant Platform for OBAs
The use of encrypted data signatures across a private, distributed architecture allows OBA implementation across multiple participating hospital sites at the local level to calculate whether terms of an OBA have been met, meeting European GDPR requirements for data handling.
Valuation And Utility Of Non-Clinical Outcomes
Quantifying the value of non-clinical outcomes challenges health ecosystem stakeholders. We prototyped a taxonomy and scientific framework for the assessment of non-clinical outcomes and data points that measure such outcomes.
Lydion DEOS and Oncology Outcomes-Based Contracts
Outcomes-Based Agreements are increasingly discussed, but difficult and costly to implement. We designed and tested software to enable faster, lower-cost, and auditable administration of such contracts.
Smallholder Data Services: Agriculture Traceability and Regenerative Self-Certification Platform
Today’s farmers are challenged to adopt more sustainable practices while adapting to eroding ecosystems. At the same time, they are called upon to increase global food security and also meet demands for discerning buyers who seek traceability and confidence in how products are farmed. Our approach to this sector provides the Data Economic infrastructure to enable sustainable supply chains and the connectivity to financing and knowledge resources that can drive positive impact for farmers, buyers, and ecosystems. Data Economics not only enables traceability and self-certification, but also can connect sustainable farming outcomes with trade deals and other financial incentives.
Data as an Agricultural Product
If you, as a consumer, have a preference for buying food with an “organic” label, you’ve already accepted that data is an agricultural product; the data on that label conveys a higher value than a “conventional” counterpart. What happens when we connect small farmers directly to such consumer transactions, allowing them to contribute the data that helps consumers make determinations regarding the quality, value, and impact of the fruits, fibers, grains, or other goods that they grow? What if a consumer could pick up an apple and know which farm it came from? This is the future of data as an agricultural product.
Cotton’s Journey: From Field, to Shoe, to Revolution(s)
Cotton, the world’s oldest commercial crop, now finds itself at the vanguard of the newest international agricultural revolution: regeneration. Taking this ancient crop and combining it with new tools and possibilities, the transformative power of regenerative agriculture is appearing where the world might least expect it—in the cotton fields of Haiti, where members of the Smallholder Farmers Alliance (SFA) lead the way.
Four Paradigms of Farming
From “degenerative” agriculture that extracts from the land and excludes farming communities from recognizing the full value of their contributions, through to “conservative” and “net positive” agriculture, and then evolving to a “regenerative” paradigm, this highly visual piece explores the paradigms of farming and their impact on the planet and communities.
How can Access to Data Empower Smallholders?
How can smallholders benefit from partnerships with data-focused entities? How does use of this data impact their bottom line?

The Downside of Consumer Guarantees
How do we properly manage required government regulations without losing the connection between soil, plants, and human health?
Metals Recycling and Traceability Platform
Competition and value in industrial markets are driven by companies’ position on the goods cost curve; data in manufacturing and industrials not only informs production, but also is a source of value in and of itself. Existing data solutions fail to offer a holistic view of the value chain. Data Economics opens possibilities for comprehensive mapping, management, and optimization across the chain while connecting to financial products that improve cash flows and risk management for producers and manufacturers.
The Need for Data Economics in Metals Traceability
Companies in the industrial and capital-goods sectors account for about one-quarter of global GDP and employment and make materials and goods that are integral to our daily lives, such as the metal alloys for the cars we drive and the apparel we wear. These companies have to manage extremely complicated and globally-interconnected value chains which need to account for capital assets (tools and machinery), processing operations, and transportation of both raw materials and finished goods.
Lead-Acid Battery Recycling and Management: Preventing an energy solution from causing an environmental disaster
Even as new battery technologies develop, many vehicles around the world still rely on lead-acid batteries for their starting power. The lead in these batteries can be handled in a way that results in efficient recycling and re-use in new batteries—but in some markets, the taxation structure has created incentives for unregulated recycling that results in dangerous pollution and health effects while recovering less of this valuable metal for reuse.
Distributed Education Platform
The distributed virtual education platform built on the Lydion Engine is enabling students worldwide to engage with educational content and academic modules in a way that incentivizes their participation and drives learning and achievement in new and exciting ways. Through the power of Data Economics, learners are able to reward and encourage each other, collaborate with other learners and their instructors in a way that protects their privacy and data, and build provable digital data assets to demonstrate their learning achievements and new skills.
