The 4thPillar project (4P) signals a new era in digital communication by using blockchain as the fourth pillar of innovation. Unlike existing Web2 platforms, 4P’s Email and Chat ensure security, self-custodianship, and decentralized access, empowering users with control over their data. This marks a significant shift from traditional communication norms, starting a revolutionary narrative in the digital space.

The 4P project invites users to participate in its Email Early Testing Program, offering an exclusive opportunity to engage with the innovative on-chain communication platform and contribute valuable feedback. This guide provides an in-depth overview of the program, outlining key details, tasks, and expectations for participants.

The 4P Email Early Testing Program is a journey into the future of decentralized communication. Participants are invited to engage with the platform, test its capabilities, and share their experiences.

Where to start:

TestNet Token Faucets

Participants can acquire TestNet gas tokens through the following steps:

1. Visit the Multi-chain Deployment docs page or Access the Faucet links below.
2. Follow the Faucet links, Paste your testing wallet, and Mint the TestNet gas tokens.

Main Event Tasks & Objectives

Participants are encouraged to perform a series of tasks to gain a deep understanding of 4P Email’s capabilities.

(1) Open the testing wallet and visit the 4P dApp: app.the4thpillar.io
(2) Mint TestNet tokens via faucet links provided in the Multi-chain Table. Testing networks: Oasis, Metis, Arthera & Edgeware;
Multi-chain Deployment docs page
(3) To enable self-custodial Email communication encryption, please install and set up the Encryption Extension.

💡Explainer: Used to enable the Elliptic-Curve Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol, the Encryptor Extension adds the Mail & Chat encryption layer currently not available in major Web3 wallets. It creates an elliptic curve key pair and computation of the shared secret key of the sender/recipient. To enable E2E communication encryption, one transaction needs to be executed on-chain which requires gas. The transaction needs to be executed only once to save the sender/recipient’s public key on the blockchain. The Encryptor Extension enables self-custodial communication encryption and is enabled by choice.

(4) Enable self-custodial decentralized storage by minting Free 100MB PX sNFT.

💡Explainer: Programmed with predetermined storage capacity, the PollinationX Storage NFT or short PX sNFT represents the decentralized storage unit (e.g. 100MB, 5GB, 10GB, 20GB, 100GB) and enables users to mint the storage according to specific needs in a true self-custodial manner.

(5) Send at least ten (10) emails per blockchain network (include attachments); Oasis, Metis, Arthera & Edgeware. (40+ in total).
(6) Send all emails to this address: 0x5cf0CDE33f40807ef1dAd058ce1f10131B47Dfe5
(7) Meaningfully re-post with a quote from one of the program announcements:
