Dataverse is now integrating Lit Protocol to develop the payable folder widget in users’ personal space.— on-chain curation protocol is built upon Lit decentralized access control system.

About Dataverse

Dataverse is the first secure personal space for everyone, allowing users to aggregate Web2 & Web3 contents and control their online interest graphs in one place. Think it as the next-generation Finder only accessed by your identity, which is composed by Ceramic data streams, also your data pocket to unlock personalized web.

About Lit Protocol

Lit protocol is a decentralized access control system, which allows creators to publish encrypted contents with arbitrary on-chain agreements. For examples, creators can make their curated contents only accessed by BAYC NFT holders or subscribers. With the token-gated encryption service provided by Lit Protocol, we can store content permissions on public networks that can only be decrypted based on selected on-chain conditions.

Curator Module

Dataverse is now building the curator widget for monetizing users’ interest graphs — contents inside payable folders. It is developed upon Lit, Lens and Superfluid. In the NFT summer, imagine that you curate those bluechip NFTs ⬆️ and then earn money by sharing encrypted folders to friends & communities.

How it works?

The core functions are built within our curation contract, allowing creators to sell contents to community subscribers. By using SaveNFT extension, creators can now curate favorite contents from around the web, as well as uploading files to dStorage and sort them in Dataverse. They can wrap curations as a payable folder and encrypt it with flexible on-chain conditions built-in, e.g., monthly subscription fee (100$) or limited editions (only 1000 subscribers). Lit protocol will be employed automatically to perform token-gated encryption based on these conditions. The encryption key is generated in a distributed manner and each Lit node will maintain one of shares. These nodes guarantee & authorize the access control for the encrypted folder. Only subscribers who satisfy the on-chain conditions are allowed to aggregate key shares to decrypt contents. The whole process is fully decentralized based on blockchains and data middlewares, enabling peer-to-peer content exchange. Creators will never be required to charge high transaction fees!

Conclusion

Dataverse is excited to collaborate with Lit Protocol for building on-chain curation module & payable folder widget. Towards ownership economy, we are working together to bring revolutions from user data sovereignty to content sovereignty.
