Notification Protocol Standard

Open crisgarner opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Introduction

Hey guys, I'm Cristian Espinoza, a Solidity Developer from Tegucigalpa Honduras. I'm a Devcon 5 Scholar from the Ethereum Foundation and currently the founder of Affogato.co

I first got into Ethereum in 2018 as a friend of mine wanted to do a blockchain meetup and I helped to organize it, I was currently working on a prototype for a Stellar app and after the meetup, I was so impressed by the concepts of Smart contracts that got me hooked.

I love the idea of virtual hackathons as they are accessible enough for people that can't travel and help hackers to explore new ideas or projects. I know that Dragon Quest will be an amazing experience.

Idea description

There is no proper way to handle decentralized notifications. For example, on Affogato I needed to notify token holders that the redeem was available. Asking users for phone or email removes privacy.

I want to build a standard protocol that allows users to send notifications to addresses and to be so useful that it would be integrated into wallets. I fell this can be done with a DAO to manage certain parameters I want to implement later.

Skillset

I would like to discuss the skillset needed, so far I can think about:

  • Frontend (React)
  • Design (UX Design? UI Design?, Visual Design?)
  • Community builder (DAO Summoner, DAO Ops, community manager)
  • Doing a Metamask Plugin would be desirable

Communication

You can find me on any social network as @crisgarner

This seems like a great idea - I can think of a few places where this would be useful! Will reach out to you for the design component.

(Not participating but...) Have you considered basing the back end loosely on something like eip-1456 , see here and here which associates an IPFS multihash with an Ethereum address.

@Jack-Winters it looks interesting, I was actually thinking of using ENS custom data fields in their contracts for some notifications.

@kristinlow Awesome! I'll create a channel on the Discord to talk about it. Was thinking on a temporal name like "Meta Notifications"

Great idea, interested in the service.
