Blockchain agnostic wallet addresses\\n\\nFor Apps to support users from any chain and achieve **universal compatibility** - there must be a way to identify, interpret and transact with addresses incoming from various chains.\\n\\nAs a shared-state blockchain, Push Chain is designed to parse and handle blockchain addresses alongside the specific chains they originate from.\\n\\nFor instance, Push Chain can identify and support Solana, EVM, Cosmos and any other chain\u2019s addresses.\\nTo achieve this, Push Chain fully adopts [CAIP-10](https://github.com/ChainAgnostic/CAIPs/blob/main/CAIPs/caip-10.md) blockchain-agnostic wallet addresses, enabling it to deduce the chain, network, and address associated with each transaction ensuring universal compatibility across multiple blockchain ecosystems.\\n\\n### 2. Support Txns from any chain\\n\\nIn addition to parsing addresses across various chains, Push Chain supports transactions from any wallet, regardless of the originating chain\u2014be it Ethereum, Solana, or any other network.\\n\\nPush Chain achieves this by accepting signed payload data and supporting the native signers of individual chains. Validator nodes then verify these signatures \u2192 conduct pre-transaction checks (such as fee validation) \u2192 and then admit the transactions to the network.\\n\\n\x3c!-- Here\u2019s a quick demo of an app that lets you send transactions to Push Chain from any chain of your choice.\\n\\n\\n --\x3e\\n\\nTo clarify, a user doesn\u2019t have to \u201cbridge\u201d to another chain to use our platform. Instead, the app becomes universal and available to all users of any chain.\\n\\nPush Chain also introduces a new mechanism called **Push ID** to create a consistent and unified interface for users, no matter which wallet they use.\\n\\n**_More on Push ID below..._**\\n\\n### 3. Fee Abstraction\\n\\nWith web3\u2019s progression towards true interoperability, the necessity to hold native tokens for basic interactions creates unnecessary barriers in what should be a borderless ecosystem.\\n\\n**Push Chain\u2019s Fee Abstraction eliminates these digital borders, ensuring universal accessibility and removing the economic friction of owning native tokens for network fees.**\\n\\n- **Onchain Swappers**: Fee contracts on every chain convert native tokens to cover fees automatically\u2014no explicit swaps for Push Chain\u2019s tokens are required.\\n\\n- **Bulk Fee Payments**: Lock and release fees in bulk, then send them to Push Chain directly in the transaction. This removes the bottleneck of waiting on a specific blockchain\u2019s speed.\\n\\n- **Delegated Fees**: Wallets or web3 apps can cover fees, enabling a web2-like UX where the \u201cwebsite\u201d pays for the user.\\n\\nThese mechanisms bridge web2 paradigms into web3 enabling web2 UX in a web3 world -\\n\\n- **Pay-for-content models**: Apps like Facebook and Instagram cover user interaction fees.\\n\\n- **Freemium models**: Apps absorb user costs temporarily, enabling users to later pay in bulk for services after experiencing them for free (e.g., Spotify, Google Drive).\\n\\nPush Chain makes these models possible, creating a frictionless experience and paving the way for building universal apps with borderless shared experiences.\\n\\n### 4. Wallet abstraction\\n\\nAt a higher level, there are two user personas in web3:\\n\\n- **Degens (aka existing web3 users)** - Well accustomed to the fragmented UX, have app & chain specific preferences for every on-chain activity.\\n\\n- **Normies (aka new web3 users)** - New or casual users unfamiliar with web3 complexities - Struggle with the manual and often complicated process of setting up a wallet.\\n\\nWith the rapid proliferation of L1s, L2s and L3s, the UX gap between Degens and Normies is widening, creating a disproportionate balance in user experiences.\\n\\n**Push Chain\u2019s Wallet Abstraction diminishes this divide by creating a balanced ground for every web3 user persona.**\\n\\nWallet abstraction provides a flexible, **embeddable wallet experience**, tailored to individual user journeys enabling any wallet from any chain to connect, interact and transact with Push Chain.\\n\\n**Existing Web3 Users?**\\n\\nAlready using Ethereum, Solana, or another chain? Push Wallet lets you continue using your existing setup\u2014no extra hoops. Combined with fee abstraction, transactions stay native to the source blockchain, making cross-chain use effortless.\\n\\n**New Web3 Users (Web2 Normies)?**\\n\\nNot web3-savvy? No problem. Just log in with an email or social account. Under the hood, the wallet uses sharding and pass keys to stay non-custodial but feels as simple and intuitive as web2.\\n\\n**For users logging in via email or social platforms**, Push Chain ensures security and non-custodial functionality through key sharding. The user\u2019s credentials are divided into three encrypted shards stored across the Push Backend (trusted), local storage (encrypted via a passkey), and Push Chain (also encrypted via a passkey). This approach allows key reconstruction only when accessed by the user, providing a secure yet user-friendly experience that bridges the gap between web2 familiarity and web3 security.\\n\\n### 5. Consumer (Unordered) and Traditional (Ordered) Transactions\\n\\nPresent web3 infra is heavily skewed towards financial apps that require strict ordering of transactions and precise state accuracy.\\nHowever consumer apps, on the other hand, are inclined towards more flexible, faster and parallel transaction needs.\\nConsumer apps are made of two primary elements where:\\n\\n1. _Order is necessary (user payments, financial instruments) and_\\n2. _Order is not critical (messages, comments or likes on a post, retweet, chat, email, gameplay, etc.)._\\n\\nTraditional chains don\u2019t provide the right experience for such use cases forcing consumer apps to make suboptimal compromises impacting their performance and usability.\\n\\n**_Could there be a way of supporting consumer actions in an unordered, parallel and yet decentralised manner?_**\\n\\nAbsolutely yes! This is where **Push Chain innovates a new transaction type - Consumer Transaction**- which instantly unlocks non-financial, mixed-financial apps for web3 helping consumer apps reach faster PMF.\\n\\nManaging hyper-scalable apps with thousands of parallel transactions on-chain - is not easy.\\nPush Chain makes it possible using its new innovation - **True Scale**.\\n\\nWith True Scale, Push Chain\'s network capacity and its read-write throughput grow organically, as more nodes join its consensus.\\nThis enables parallel execution of thousands of consumer transactions, near-instant finality and quicker information storage and retrieval.\\n\\nHere\u2019s how the Push Chain achieves true scale.\\n\\n### 6. True Scale: Sub second finality (speed)\\n\\nPush Chain splits the nodes into three types - **Validator, Storage and Archival** and enables a node governance smart contract that keeps track of all the nodes that are present in the network.\\n\\n- **Validator Nodes** - Responsible for validating transactions.\\n\\n- **Storage Nodes** - Dynamically shard data based on the hash of blockchain-agnostic addresses and store it.\\n\\n- **Archival Nodes** - Maintain a full snapshot of all transactions on the network.\\n\\nThese role-specific nodes enable parallel validation to be done on any type of consumer transaction ensuring near-instant finality.\\n\\n**Note:** All txs (write or read) are attested by random validators/storage nodes ensuring that malicious nodes result in slashing.\\n\\n**Node Registry Smart Contract:** Push Chain employs a registry smart contract to register these nodes, manage dynamic sharding, set replication factors, and enable parallel validators that scale dynamically with the number of nodes in the network. This approach ensures linear scaling, allowing the network to handle increased read and write demands efficiently as it grows.\\n\\nBecause of these different nodes and smart contract setting up parallel validators, the tx sent to the network can land on any of the _\u2018n\u2019_ number of parallel validators which are then instantly moved to processing (250ms block), this is what enables sub-second finality for Push Chain.\\n\\n### 7. True Scale: Parallel validators (scaling write throughput)\\n\\nPush Chain achieves true scaling of write transactions, particularly for consumer transactions, where the consumer txs are packed in unordered blocks (or should we call them **stateless blocks**!? ).\\n\\nAllowing these transactions to be processed through any active validator node promises near-instant finality, and the write throughput (or TPS) of the chain increases linearly as the number of nodes in the network grows.\\n\\n### 8. True Scale: Dynamic Sharding (scaling read throughput)\\n\\n**Push Chain achieves true scaling of reading transactions by implementing dynamic sharding on storage nodes.**\\n\\nData chunks within each shard are mapped to blockchain-agnostic addresses and are dynamically redistributed as new storage nodes are added to the network.\\n\\nIn addition, the chain introduces a node governing smart contract onto which each node (regardless of the type) is registered before getting admitted to the network. Since this node-registry smart contract knows the number of nodes in the network, it is able to dynamically shard and assign data chunks and replication factors ensuring the network is fast and becomes faster in retrieving data as new nodes are added.\\n\\n### 9. Push ID\\n\\nIn a universal chain like Push Chain - One essential element for bringing shared app experiences to users is the ability to track users\u2019 on-chain identity - and not just their wallets.\\n\\nOne user may have multiple wallets, spanning various chains and ecosystems whether EVM or nonEVM.\\nThis led us to create the unified Push ID, giving each user one identity that spans all their wallets, both EVM and non-EVM. Instead of tying interactions strictly to a single wallet, transactions are now accredited to a user\u2019s Push ID.\\n\\nThe Push ID mapping allows for reverse lookups guaranteeing a consistent and unified interface for users, no matter which wallet they use. developers can fetch, index, and understand a user\u2019s full spectrum of interactions across chains, all mapped to one identity.\\n\\n### 10. Shared State and Universal Smart Contracts\\n\\n\x3c!-- shared state diagram --\x3e\\n\\n![shared state diagram](./image2.webp)\\n\\n**Shared State**\\n\\nWith Push ID and Any Chain Tx, we realized that accessing a wallet\u2019s state across different blockchains is a game changer.\\n\\nOne thing that\u2019s missing over here though was the ability to get the individual state of all the wallets which in essence will allow smart contracts to know the entire state of individual wallet(s) that are connected to the user. This feature is what we call a Shared state.\\n\\n**Shared state allows Push Chain to access data from its own chain as well as supported external chains!**\\n\\nWith shared state, you can read wallet activities like NFTs, DeFi positions, governance participation, and so much more!\\n\\n**Universal Smart Contracts**\\n\\nA shared state chain is essential to enable shared app experiences. This chain must have the ability to read the state of wallets across other chains, facilitating universal smart contracts and creating an ecosystem where users from any chain\u2014or even web2\u2014can interact seamlessly. Such a chain would provide shared settlement across both EVM and non-EVM chains, ushering in an era of universal apps and shared experiences.\\n\\nUsing shared state in VM, Push allows developers to write universal smart contracts with which universal app experiences become possible. Users, regardless of their origin\u2014whether from any chain or ecosystem\u2014can effortlessly interact with consumer apps that prioritize user engagement without regard to how or where they enter the system.\\n\\nUltimately, **Universal Smart Contracts and the ability to interact with all chains through Push Chain and represent our ultimate goal: Eliminating Web3 friction and delivering the best shared app experience possible.**\\n\\n## Build Universal Apps!\\n\\nUniversal AI apps, Universal social apps, Unified Prediction markets and many more!\\nWant to know the countless app innovations that you can make happen because of Push Chain?\\nExplore our [Innovations that can be built on Push Chain Blog](https://push.org/blog/consumer-apps-that-can-be-built-on-push-chain/)\\n\\n### Next Steps\u200b\ud83d\udc47\\n\\n- Check out the [Push Chain Whitepaper](https://whitepaper.push.org/?utm_source=pushblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pcgov) for a detailed overview of the vision and the underlying technicalities.\\n\\n- Visit the [Push Chain Website](https://push.org/chain/?utm_source=pushblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pcgov) to find a one-pager explanation of the vision.\\n\\n- [Push Chain Devnet](https://scan.push.org/home?utm_source=pushblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pcgov) is running live on Proof-of-Stake network validators, storage and archival nodes.

We\u2019ve delivered over 140M notifications, built a community of 500K aggregate users, powered notifications for 500+ projects, and are known as the de facto leader in notifications and communications for web3.\\nWe took the biggest and the most ambitious step in its history last week and have launched governance for its evolution to Push Chain, a shared state blockchain for building universal applications. It is a sharded Proof of Stake (PoS) chain built to allow developers to create user-centric app experiences and act as a shared settlement layer for multiple L1s, L2s, L3s.\\n\\nThe journey often matters more than the destination, and we couldn\u2019t agree more. From our beginnings at ETHGlobal 2020, to becoming an EF alumnus, ranking as a top 5 project in Gitcoin Grants, securing funding from leading VCs and angels, inventing the communication stack for web3, and now launching a consumer-centric L1 to unify web3 - each milestone has shaped our path and brought us here. Buckle up, it\'s time to reminisce!\\n \\n\\n\\n## The Beginning\\n### Email to Ethereum Foundation\\nWe started with an idea for Push Protocol and web3. The thesis was that protocols in web3 only interact with wallet addresses and thus it made sense to build a notification and communication system that can inform these wallets. \\n\\nSo the next time your DeFi loan is about to be liquidated, or a governance proposal comes up or your ENS is about to expire or someone comments on your web3 social, you get notified and can re-engage.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 1 --\x3e\\n![First Image of Evolution of Push](./image10.webp)\\n\\n\\n### Creating MVP at ETHGlobal HackMoney 2020\\nWe were guided by EF to go and build the project out first at ETHGlobal, which is what we did and was the best thing that ever happened for us. We have made friends that are mentors, friends that are our investors, friends that helped us connect to relevant projects and friends that geeked out together on tech.\\n\\nExcuse the video quality, I still hadn\u2019t learned at this point what good quality cams or lighting could do.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n### Getting help, support and mentorship from EF\\nWe have always said that Ethereum is where innovation has fostered traditionally and that is due to the community and the folks at Ethereum that go way beyond to help you in your journey.\\n\\nEF has helped us, like countless other projects in guiding through the tranches of web3, especially when you are just getting started.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 2 --\x3e\\n![Second Image of Evolution of Push](./image3.webp)\\nhttps://blog.ethereum.org/2020/08/19/esp-beyond-grants\\n\\n\\n### Making it to Top 3 of Gitcoin Grants (Round 7)\\nOne of the best feelings we had was when we participated in Gitcoin Grants and the community came together to fund us out. This was in many ways the first check that we saw after we had started building Push (then EPNS).\\n\\nThere\u2019s serenity in making something that gets loved by the people for whom you are building and is the best feeling that any entrepreneur can have. To us, these 214 contributors is what made everything we had done so far worthwhile!\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 3 --\x3e\\n![Third Image of Evolution of Push](./image8.webp)\\n\\n\\nOf course, the cherry on top was when Vitalik covered GR 7 in his [blog](https://vitalik.eth.limo/general/2020/10/18/round7.html), and we among all the other top projects got a place in his blog, if not in his heart \ud83d\ude05.\\n\\n### Getting into Kernel Genesis Batch\\nMaking it into Kernel was a dream come true. I still remember the joy I felt when we were selected. In our application form, there was a question: What makes you special from any other project? And what we wrote was Every project that we have seen is special in its own ways, so nothing makes us special with respective to them but here\u2019s why we feel we should be selected: Technical and gap in communication, ux, etc\\n\\nWe submitted this but then stressed out on if we were rude or missed the context of the question. Thankfully, Vivek, Sachin and team embraced our web3 vibe wholeheartedly.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 4 --\x3e\\n![Fourth Image of Evolution of Push](./image11.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/harshrajat/status/1279398824729952257\\n\\nThis was also the place where we made so many friends that I still reach out to for help now. This was the place where I first dmed Jaun Bennett, Met Sandeep, Alok (Standard VC), Thomas Klaus and countless other folks that I look up to.\\n\\nThis in a way completed our journey of getting onboarded to web3 as we were now part of the vibes!\\n\\n\\n\\n### Making awesome friends along the way!\\nDuring this entire journey, we made friends who just wanted to help and the only thing we had to do was ask, or tweet, or dm. This was and still is why Ethereum is always home for us!\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 5 --\x3e\\n\x3c!-- image 6 --\x3e\\n\x3c!-- image 7 --\x3e\\n![Fifth Image of Evolution of Push](./image5.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/owocki/status/1335637426392330241\\n\\n![Sixth Image of Evolution of Push](./image4.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/jason_chen998/status/1695082395505172944\\n\\n![Seventh Image of Evolution of Push](./image7.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/defiprime/status/1346124418192465928\\n\\nPush Protocol is the \u201cMissing piece of Web3\u201d that is required to bring the UX of Web2 to Web3.\\n\\n## The start of web3 notifications\\n### Piloting with OG protocols\\nThe next phase of our journey was to start sending web3 notifications and we had a chicken and egg problem over here. Notifications are useful for wallets to show if popular protocols are sending them but for popular protocols to embrace web3 notifs, wallets need to integrate them \ud83d\ude31.\\n\\nWe took a chance and reached out to some of the best and top protocols in the space back then, hint: they still are the leaders! They were the ones who helped us crack this chicken and egg problem and solidified our conviction on why web3 is the future - it\u2019s because each one of them is trying to expand the boundaries of web3.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 8 --\x3e\\n![Eigth Image of Evolution of Push](./image9.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/Uniswap/status/1377374973090689030\\n\\n### Getting backed by people we adore\\nThe momentum generated by Push till this point helped us get the attention of the best angels and VCs in the space. The success that we got due to the community, builders, web3 OGs coming and helping us together led us to secure our seed (and later series A) with folks that had some of the best mind share and vision for web3.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 9 --\x3e\\n![Ninth Image of Evolution of Push](./image12.webp)\\n\\n\u2665\ufe0fand shoutout to backers of Push Protocol including BalajiS, Sandeep Nailwal, Scott Moore, A.Capital, ParaFi, Binance Labs, Jump, Sino Global and so many more!\\n\\n\\n### Getting noticed and spreading the word\\n\\nPush started getting noticed by OGs of web3, we were so humbled by people who we view as mentors and thought leaders writing about us. Push has reached the point where it had a chance to terraform web3, one notif at a time\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 10 --\x3e\\n![Tenth Image of Evolution of Push](./image1.webp)\\n[Why India Should Buy Bitcoin Article by BalajiS](https://balajis.com/p/why-india-should-buy-bitcoin) | [Excited to fund EPNS Tweet](https://x.com/balajis/status/1336367129960931329) | [Unstoppable Domains Launches Gated Groups Article](https://thedefiant.io/news/defi/unstoppable-domains-launches-token-gated-group-chats) | [EPNS Raises 10M at 131M Valuation Article](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/04/14/ethereum-push-notification-service-raises-10m-at-131m-valuation)\\n\\n\\n## Building one of the first consumer app\\nWe now realize that apart from inventing the communication protocol for web3, we also were building one of the first consumer app for it which was non-financial in nature and was driven by the utility it offered to average user than the 10x other financial apps promised (and thus, user was incentivized to learn web3 broken ux).\\n\\nThis realization helped us in paving forward an app that is useful and frictionless for the web3 user and enabled us to identify the features that we wanted as we moved towards decentralizing our notification nodes.\\n\\n\\n### Building for scalability and speed\\nWe realized very quickly that notification unlike traditional transactions needs to be scalable. It needed an infra that can scale up and maintain speed. To enable this, we built out a solution involving dynamic sharding, ensuring that the solution scales up as more notifications and wallets join in.\\n\\n\\n### Inventing consumer tx by accident!\\nWhile building our notification nodes for write throughput, ie: handling tens of thousands of parallel notifications. We came up with the architecture of having parallel validators, since having order in notifications was not required. \\n\\nThis paved the way for parallel validators where notifications can be sent to any validators which will then form stateless blocks (or unordered blocks). We didn\u2019t know back then but we had unlocked a massive innovation in web3, having txs where ordering is not critical. This later formed the backbone of Push Chain\u2019s speed and linear scalability.\\n\\n### Building for seamless web3 UX\\nAnother thing that we wanted our notification protocol to have was a seamless onboarding process where the user can just sign in once and then, just like web2, they are not required to sign things again and again. Our Chat Protocol and PGP implementation helped us realize and solve for the most seamless web3 UX. Later on, this learning was transformed into wallet and fee abstraction for Push Chain.\\n\\n### Building for unification of web3\\nAnd finally, we wanted this to be the communication protocol of web3, where notifications and chat can come to Push as a universal hub. Where, protocols from Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Aptos, or any other EVM or non-EVM are able to come together in a seamless interoperable way.\\n\\nThis is not bridging, as bridging moves funds or assets from one chain to another. But, instead it\u2019s unification or having a universal hub. A place where users from all chains come together. This feature is what was transformed to Push Chain as being the universal hub for all chains, where transactions from any chain are supported, where shared state of all wallets are available, where all L1s, L2s and L3s can come together and use Push as a shared settlement layer.\\n\\n\\n### Rebranding to become the communication protocol of web3\\nWe started building notifications for web3 under the brand of Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS) which made sense when we started since Apple also names their notification service as Apple Push Notification Service (APNS).\\n\\nBut as we dived deep and started building the features for enabling notifications, chat. We quickly became aware that a non-Ethereum developer might be confused by the name EPNS. Thus, we decided to rebrand to Push, we picked this name because:\\n\\n- We were now placed to become the communication protocol of web3, so Ethereum had to go from Ethereum Push Notification Service.\\n- We were not doing just notification, but instead had chat among other communication tools so Notification had to go from Push Notification Service.\\n- And lastly, we were not a service but a decentralized protocol of web3, so Service had to go from Push Service.\\n- Leading us to rebrand to Push.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 11 --\x3e\\n![Eleventh Image of Evolution of Push](./image6.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/pushprotocol/status/1574771582790406144\\n\\n### Becoming the leading notification protocol for web3\\nPush notifications protocol came a long way from its humble beginnings to now. Today, we have powered hundreds of millions of notifications sent to web3 users across the globe. \\n\\nWe have been integrated natively in many wallets and protocols including Unstoppable, Shapeshift, Decentraland, Metamask Snap and so many more and have been powering notifications and communication for awesome protocols such as Cowswap, 1inch, dydx, hyperliquid, lens, polygon and various others.\\n\\n\x3c!-- image 12 --\x3e\\n![Twelfth Image of Evolution of Push](./image2.webp)\\nhttps://x.com/hypurr_co/status/1851645401834959098?s=46&t=iq2iJvugwsC0iZ3dI-wFOw\\n\\n## Enters Push Chain - realization of what we actually built and it\u2019s impact on web3\\n### Realization of the end game\\nDuring building for our vision of the most perfect consumer app and the decentralized notification protocol and nodes out. We eventually realized that what we have built instead is far more significant and solves for the seamless web3 that we all dream of.\\n\\nThis realization is what turned into our shared state blockchain - Push Chain, which while being an L1, is not just another L1 as it\u2019s built to be used by users of any other chain without them needing to switch or bridge to this chain. It\u2019s the future of web3 built for unification, consumer and universal apps and seamless onboarding. \\n\\n### Launching Push Chain proposal and Devnet \ud83d\ude80\\nThis has led us to launching our proposal of Push Chain, which just to recap is is a shared state L1 blockchain for shared app experiences.

Crowdsourced from Push Fam \ud83e\udef6 and curated by the Push team \ud83d\udcaa.\\n\\n## Overview\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What is Push Chain?\\n\\nPush Chain is a shared state blockchain for universal applications. It is designed to allow **transactions from any chain** (ETH, Solana, EVM, non-EVM), has **<1s fast finality** and has **true scalability** (read and write throughput increases as the number of nodes increases).\\n\\nIt introduces some ground breaking innovations such as **consumer txs** (order not important), **parallel validators and dynamic sharding** and **universal smart contracts**. The result is a layer 1 with the ability to become a shared settlement layer for all L1s \ud83e\udd1d L2s \ud83e\udd1d L3.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### How does Push Chain work?\\n\\n![Push Chain Architecture](./pcoverview.webp \'Push Chain Architecture\')\\n\\nPush Chain is a sharded, Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that features different types of nodes\u2014validators, storage nodes, and archival nodes\u2014each optimized for specific roles and responsibilities to ensure high efficiency. This design gives the chain fast finality of less than one second.\\n\\nIn brief, **Validator** nodes handle the role of writing transactions and are able to do so in parallel. **Storage** nodes, which are dynamically sharded, fetch transactions from the network. And **Archival** nodes provide a complete snapshot of the blockchain.\\n\\nPush Chain also introduces several key innovations in web3. At launch, these include **consumer transactions** (these are txs where order is not critical), **Push ID**, which maps multiple EVM and non-EVM accounts and **wallet and fees abstraction**.\\n\\nIn later phases, Push Chain will introduce **shared state** and **universal smart contracts**. These features will enable smart contracts on Push Chain to access the state of both EVM and non-EVM wallets connected to a single user.\\n\\nThe result is **universal applications** for web3. In this paradigm, instead of being a user of \\"Uniswap on Ethereum,\\" \\"Uniswap on Polygon,\\" or \\"Uniswap on Arbitrum,\\" a person simply becomes a **user of Uniswap**.\\n\\nThese innovations make Push Chain suitable for creating new experiences or cross-deploying existing consumer-centric apps tied to specific blockchains, making them accessible to any web3 user.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Why is Push Chain unique for users?\\n\\nPush Chain addresses specific gaps in the existing blockchains, such as interoperability, shared app experiences, enabling new app experiences, and scalability. While existing blockchains are robust, they operate in their own eco-system and an aggregator to unite these chains are needed.\\n\\nPush Chain\u2019s focus is on being a **shared state chain** for universal applications acting as a unifying layer where all chains can come together and use PC as universal hub or do settlement between them.\\n\\nPC offers a new paradigm of web3 that works from **any chain.** for **any user.** and is suitable for **any app.**\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What are the core innovations of Push Chain?\\n\\n**Any Chain Txs and Blockchain Agnostic Wallet Addresses**\\n\\nAs a shared-state blockchain, Push Chain adopts **CAIP-10 standards** (shoutout to [@pedrouid](https://x.com/pedrouid \'Follow Pedrouid on X\'), allowing it to parse the chain, network, and address of each transaction. This ensures true interoperability across multiple blockchain ecosystems.\\n\\n**Consumer Txs (unordered) and Traditional Txs (ordered)**\\n\\nPush introduces a new type of transaction that we define as **consumer transactions**.\\n\\nWhen you look at consumer apps of web2, you quickly notice that they are made of two components:\\n\\n1. **Transactions where order is necessary** (e.g., user payments, financial instruments).\\n2. **Transactions where order is not critical** (e.g., messages, comments or likes on a post, retweets, chats, emails, gameplay, etc.).\\n\\nThese unordered actions dominate consumer apps, but traditional chains don\u2019t provide the right experience for them.\\n\\nPush Chain introduces **unordered transactions**, where order is not critical. These transactions can be sent to any of the validators running on the network to be processed.\\n\\nThis innovation will have a significant impact on web3, enabling consumer apps that combine financial, mixed-financial, and non-financial transactions with the same scalability and speed seen in web2.\\n\\n**Parallel Validators & Dynamic Sharding**\\n\\nPush Chain uses a **node governor smart contract**, which registers all the different types of nodes. This governor contract not only registers nodes but also keeps track of the number of validator, storage, and archival nodes.\\n\\n- It adjusts the replication factor.\\n- Assigns address chunks to shards.\\n- Enables parallel validators to process transactions, allowing the chain to scale linearly with the number of nodes added to the network.\\n\\nThis approach achieves **true scale**.\\n\\n**Wallet and Fee Abstraction**\\n\\n**Wallet abstraction** provides a flexible, embeddable wallet experience, tailored to individual user journeys while preserving decentralization. This abstraction simplifies the user experience (UX) for both existing and new web3 users.\\n\\n**For Existing Web3 Users**\\n\\n- If you\'re already using Ethereum, Solana, or another chain, the **Push Chain wallet** allows you to continue using your current setup\u2014no extra hoops.\\n- Combined with **fee abstraction**, transactions stay native to the source blockchain, making cross-chain use effortless.\\n\\n**For New Web3 Users (Web2 Normies)**\\n\\n- Not web3-savvy? No problem. Just log in with an email or social account.\\n- Under the hood, the wallet uses sharding and passkeys to stay non-custodial but feels as simple and intuitive as web2.\\n\\n**Shared State and Universal Smart Contracts**\\n\\nWith **Push ID**, the state of a non-Push wallet and multiple wallets across any chain is mapped to a single user. This ensures that the user\'s state across all blockchains is known.\\n\\nCombining this capability with **universal smart contracts** unlocks innovations that web3 hasn\u2019t seen before, enabling the era of universal apps.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What problems does Push Chain solve?\\n\\n- **Fragmentation:** Unifies app experiences across blockchains, bridging EVM and non-EVM ecosystems.\\n- **Scalability:** Achieves true scaling through dynamic sharding, stateless blocks, and parallel block execution.\\n- **Interoperability:** Supports transactions from any blockchain, enabling shared app states.\\n- **Finality:** Near-instant finality (~1-2 seconds), essential for real-time app experiences.\\n- **User Experience:** Simplifies onboarding and interaction via derived keys and unified user identities (Push ID / DID).\\n- **Universal Apps:** Enables applications to be built that can be accessed by any user from any chain instantly.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What are the different phases of Push Chain?\\n\\nPhase 1 lays the groundwork of building universal consumer apps focusing on introducing a scalable, chain agnostic, and unified layer capable of handling any types of consumer apps including financial but also non-financial and mixed-financial apps. The features in this phase include:\\n\\n- Enabling true scale apps\\n- Allowing transactions from any chain\\n- Introducing Consumer transactions (where ordering is not important)\\n- Push VM for complex on-chain applications\\n- Fee abstraction\\n- Wallet abstraction\\n- Push ID to map multiple EVM and non-EVM wallet to a single identity\\n- Enabling PoS (Proof of Stake) with dynamic sharding and parallel validators\\n\\nPhase 2 centers on facilitating seamless interoperability between chains which is a stepping stone in enabling universal smart contracts to usher in universal apps.\\nThis phase introduces a solver network capable of instant cross-chain transactions, both financial and non-financial based. The non-financial distinction is crucial as it enables all payloads to move instantly between Push-connected chains, benefiting consumer applications like:\\n\\n- Social media\\n- Marketplaces\\n- Gaming\\n- Other consumer-facing use cases\\n\\nPhase 3 is about introducing shared state and the launch of universal smart contracts, enabling true shared state and universal apps.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Technical\\n\\n### Why does Push Chain need to be an L1 instead of an L2 chain?\\n\\nPush Chain is purpose-built to be a shared-state blockchain for universal, on-chain apps. To achieve this in practice, Push Chain functions as a settlement layer (L1) for multiple L1s, L2s, and L3s.\\n\\nThis architecture enables it to accept transactions from any chain, reduce cross-chain friction through gas abstraction, and provide wallet abstraction for seamless onboarding\u2014whether users are web3 veterans or newcomers.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Is Push Chain EVM Compatible?\\n\\nPush Chain begins as EVM compatible and becomes more and more compatible with further chains as it evolves. Further information can be found in both the Push Chain [whitepaper](https://whitepaper.push.org \'Whitepaper of Push Chain\').\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Will Push Chain be compatible with both EVM and non-EVM chains?\\n\\nYes, Push Chain is designed to support both EVM and non-EVM chains, ensuring maximum interoperability.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Why create a new blockchain when existing ones like Ethereum and Solana already exist?\\n\\nPush Chain addresses pervasive gaps in the existing blockchains; specifically interoperability, shared app experiences, and scalability. While existing blockchains are robust, they operate in silos and lack the ability to unify state across multiple blockchains. Push Chain\u2019s focus is on being a **shared state chain for universal applications**, offering seamless cross-chain interactions and unparalleled scalability.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What does shared state blockchain mean?\\n\\nShared state refers to the present status of onchain data. A shared-state blockchain is one that has read-and-write access to its own state and the state of all other chains it interacts with. A shared state chain is capable of handling data, liquidity, and users from any other chain.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What sets Push Chain apart from other shared state chains?\\n\\n- **True Scalability:** Parallel execution, dynamic sharding, and stateless blocks.\\n- **Interoperability:** Seamless integration with EVM and non-EVM chains.\\n- **User-Centric Design:** Derived keys and Push DID for enhanced user experiences.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### How does Push Chain achieve shared state?\\n\\nThe term shared state means that Push Chain not only has read and write access to its own state but also has read-only access to all the other supported chains\u2019 states. This is the final and most imperative phase of Push Chain, and it enables **universal apps** that seamlessly function across multiple chains.\\n\\n![Push Chain Universal App](./pcuniversalapp.webp \'Push Chain - Shared State Chain for Universal Apps\')\\n\\nPush Chain achieves shared state by leveraging Push ID, which maps multiple EVM and non-EVM wallets to a single identity. This allows for a single user to have a single state across all chains, enabling true shared state.\\n\\nThe whole vision of universal apps with shared states is achieved through 4 core features:\\n\\n- **Fee and Wallet Abstraction:**\\n With wallet abstraction, Push Chain aims to enable seamless user onboarding without going through the manual and complicated procedure of setting up a web3 wallet.\\n With fee abstraction, the chain eliminates the friction of requiring to hold native gas strictly in the wallet in use.\\n\\n- **Seamless Interoperability:**\\n With Phase 2 of its roadmap, the chain aims to establish seamless interoperability between chains to enable cross-chain features in the apps.\\n\\n The interoperability will be enabled using a solver network capable of instant cross-chain transactions to ensure better UX. The network will be designed to move not only value but also arbitrary payloads that seamlessly transfer smart contract calls to other chains.\\n\\n- **Any Chain Transaction:**\\n With fee abstraction layer and interoperability, the chain is then able to provide the capability for users and apps on this chain to seamlessly initiate transactions for any chain.\\n\\n- **Unified VM:**\\n A unified VM that enables complex universal smart contract logic that is able to execute cross chain actions.\\n\\nCombining these 4 main pillars, the chain aims to achieve shared app experiences and unlock a plethora of new cross-chain and universal app use cases in every domain of web3.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What does true scale mean?\\n\\nTrue scale is the ability of a protocol\'s ecosystem to grow at both the infrastructure and user experience levels. Push Chain achieves this by enabling universal applications that users can try without worrying about complex infrastructure decisions.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Token Related\\n\\n### Will there be a new token associated with Push Chain?\\n\\nAs a new layer 1, Push Chain would have its own native token with tokenomics suited to the functioning, maintenance, and security of a blockchain.\\n\\nThe governance proposal for Push Chain introduces the layer 1 as a potential direction for the Push ecosystem. If approved, Push would then introduce tokenomics for feedback and discussion among the community.\\n\\nPush Chain would need a new token because an L1 token has a fundamentally different design and purpose than a token designed to incentivize the notifications protocol. A priority for Push Chain tokenomics is to ensure that all Push Protocol $PUSH holders are able to migrate their tokens to the Push Chain native token (ticker TBD).\\n\\n**Note: Push Chain mainnet is not live, nor is any token related to Push Chain besides Push Protocol [$PUSH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH on CMC\').** Any communication about Push Chain will come directly from the Push company website and X / Twitter handle.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Doubts\\n\\n### What Happens to Push Notification and Push Chat?\\n\\nPush Chain is a natural evolution of Push Protocol\'s vision. Current services of Push Protocol remain a priority, ensuring they continue to improve while benefiting from the new infrastructure.\\n\\nToday\'s push notification and chat protocols will benefit significantly from being built on top of Push Chain. A dedicated section of the team will focus on maintaining and enhancing these protocols, ensuring they remain the de-facto standard in their respective domains.\\n\\nBy aligning with Push Chain, notifications and chat sent through the protocols will be processed as transactions on the chain. This integration not only enables these protocols to accrue value but also marks the beginning of a new chapter in their evolution, further enhancing their utility and impact within the web3 ecosystem.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Is this project a distraction from improving current services?\\n\\nNo, read \u261d\ufe0f [above](#what-happens-to-push-notification-and-push-chat).\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Is Push Chain a shift away from Push Protocol\'s core focus on notifications and chat?\\n\\nNo. Push Chain builds upon Push Protocol\u2019s established foundation. Push Chain represents the **next evolution** of Push Protocol, not a departure.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### How will the launch of Push Chain affect existing partnerships and integrations?\\n\\nPush Chain complements existing partnerships by offering additional capabilities like cross-chain support, faster finality, and scalable solutions. It strengthens collaborations by enabling partners to build and scale universal applications.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### How will Push Chain maintain decentralization while scaling?\\n\\nDynamic sharding and parallel execution enable scalability without compromising decentralization.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Are there any risks of centralization with Push Chain?\\n\\n**No.** Push Chain\u2019s architecture emphasizes decentralization:\\n\\n- Validators, storagea and archivals nodes operate independently and are incentivized and penalized through PoS. The network is designed to be robust and resilient. Our whitepaper has more details on the network design and the decentralization mechanisms used to protect and secure the network, see [whitepaper point 7.1 (Handling Malicious Validators) and 7.2 (Handling Malicious Storage Nodes)](https://whitepaper.push.org/ \'Handling Malicious Validators and Storage Nodes in Push Chain\'). Governance and DAO also add a layer of decentralization to the network.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## DAO and Grants\\n\\n### How will the current governance system change when the new token launches and when the migration is completed?\\n\\nThe Push DAO governance system will both evolve and expand as Push Chain launches. This is an expected process, since Push is becoming something more encompassing than the original Push Protocol. Delegates, ambassador programs, subDAOs, and everything else related to the DAO will be upgraded to reflect the key goals of achieving status as the hub for universal applications, run by all of the groups that make them possible.\\n\\n### How do I get involved with Push Chain Grants?\\n\\nWhile we are thrilled with the early interest coming from developers to build universal apps, we are still in the governance phase for ratifying our evolution from Push Protocol to Push Chain and hence do not have a grants program now.\\n\\nThis will change very soon once the community approves of Push Chain! Meanwhile, to frontrun other grantees, please drop us an email at team@push.org with the subject line as **Grant MEOW** and your app idea. Or, simply follow [@pushprotocol](https://x.com/pushprotocol \'Follow Push Protocol on X\') for more updates around the grants program and its release.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Developers, Users and Node Operators\\n\\n### Is there a migration plan for current applications and users?\\n\\nThe current Push Protocol application will stay fully functional for all its applications, integrations, and users. Eventually, Push Protocol notifications and chat will migrate to Push Chain as one of the first universal applications live on the new layer 1.\\n\\nAt that time, we will help apps and users using Push Protocol to migrate. However, for the time being, no migration plan is required for current applications and users.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### Are there incentives for early adopters or node operators on Push Chain?\\n\\nValidators and relayers will earn staking rewards. Early adopters and existing Push Protocol $PUSH holders will be eligible for a token migration from the original $PUSH to the Push Chain token (ticker TBD).\\n\\n---\\n\\n### What benefits does Push Chain offer to developers and users?\\n\\n- **For Developers:**: A unified platform for cross-chain app development, scalability, and easy onboarding. Push Chain lets developers build applications that can be used by any users on any chain.\\n\\n**For Users**: Simplified interactions, seamless onboarding with derived keys, and faster transactions with 1-2s finality.\\n\\n---\\n\\n### How can developers start building on Push Chain?\\n\\nPush Chain will offer developer tools, an SDK, and comprehensive documentation. Keep tabs on our site and our main social handles for all related updates. Sign up to our email on [/chain](/chain \'Push Chain Email Signup\') to stay up to date with available resources.\\n\\n### Where can I find more information and stay updated on Push Chain\'s progress?\\n\\nThe best way to stay on top of Push Chain\u2019s progress is through the official Push channels: website, [Twitter/X](https://x.com/pushprotocol \'Push Protocol on X\'), [Telegram](https://t.me/epnsproject \'Push Protocol on Telegram\'), and [Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol \'Push Protocol on Discord\').\\n\\nAlways remain cautious of phishing links, websites or any scam links asking you for your crypto.

By leveraging features like dynamic sharding, parallel block execution, and true scale, Push Chain promises a seamless environment for universal applications. This blog explores the benchmarking results of Push Chain under varying node configurations, providing insights into how the network behaves and scales as the number of nodes increases.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Node Types and Roles\\n\\n- **Validator Nodes:** Responsible for handling transaction validation and serving as the primary interface for client interactions.\\n- **Storage Nodes:** Tasked with storing validated transactions in a sharded manner for optimized data access and storage efficiency.\\n- **Archival Nodes:** Maintain a comprehensive record of all network transactions, enabling historical data access and providing support for applications like blockchain explorers.\\n\\n> \ud83d\udca1 Note: While the roles described above provide a high-level overview, nodes in the Push Chain Network perform significantly more complex tasks, including dynamic sharding, transaction propagation, and ensuring data consistency across the network.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Benchmarking Setup\\n\\nThe benchmarking tests were conducted in controlled environments with different node configurations:\\n\\n### Environment Configurations\\n\\n1. **Configuration 1**:\\n - **5 Validator Nodes**, **8 Storage Nodes**, **5 Archival Nodes**.\\n - **2 CPU cores** allocated.\\n2. **Configuration 2**:\\n - **10 Validator Nodes**, **8 Storage Nodes**, **5 Archival Nodes**.\\n - **4 CPU cores** allocated.\\n3. **Configuration 3**:\\n - **20 Validator Nodes**, **8 Storage Nodes**, **5 Archival Nodes**.\\n - **8 CPU cores** allocated.\\n\\nThe benchmarks primarily evaluate the performance of the **validator nodes**, which serve as the gateway for client interactions. However, since validator nodes interact with storage nodes and archival nodes internally, the results effectively reflect the performance of the entire network.\\n\\n> \u26a1 **Note on** **Controlled Environment:** All of these benchmarks were performed in a controlled internal network environment. As a result, any network lags or latency typically observed in real-world public networks were kept to a minimum, ensuring that the results reflect the network\u2019s inherent capabilities rather than external factors. This setup allows for more accurate measurement of the Push Chain Network\u2019s performance under varying configurations without the interference of significant network delays.\\n\\n> \ud83d\udcca **Note on CPU Scaling:** In order to simulate a decentralized network more realistically, the number of CPU cores allocated scales proportionally with the number of nodes. For instance, 2 CPU cores are allocated for 5 validator nodes, 4 CPU cores for 10 nodes, and 8 CPU cores for 20 nodes. This approach mirrors how resources would likely be distributed in a decentralized system, where each node operator contributes computational resources to the network.\\n\\n> \u2699\ufe0f **Note on Node Configuration:** For simplicity and consistency, the number of **Storage Nodes** and **Archival Nodes** is kept constant at **8** and **5**, respectively, across all configurations. This ensures that the focus remains on evaluating the performance of the **Validator Nodes** and their interactions with the network, without introducing additional variables.\\n\\nThe benchmarks primarily evaluate the performance of the **validator nodes**, which serve as the gateway for client interactions. However, since validator nodes interact with storage nodes and archival nodes internally, the results effectively reflect the performance of the entire network.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Benchmark Results\\n\\nThe following tests were conducted to measure the performance of the Push Chain Network under varying configurations, focusing on the behavior of **validator nodes** as the number of nodes increases. Each test was performed using multiple parallel threads, simulating real-world scenarios where multiple users interact with the network simultaneously.\\n\\n### 1. Ping Validator Test\\n\\nThis test measures the round-trip time taken by multiple threads to select and ping a random validator node, simulating basic connectivity under increasing load.\\n\\n| **Threads** | **Configuration 1** | **Configuration 2** | **Configuration 3** |\\n| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |\\n| 10 | 21.72 ms | 27.96 ms | 26.43 ms |\\n| 50 | 296.98 ms | 94.45 ms | 124.54 ms |\\n| 100 | 371.32 ms | 137.20 ms | 151.44 ms |\\n| 250 | 396.70 ms | 232.06 ms | 209.23 ms |\\n| 500 | 497.69 ms | 342.74 ms | 287.24 ms |\\n| 1000 | 785.19 ms | 705.11 ms | 545.10 ms |\\n| 2000 | 1498.14 ms | 1245.16 ms | 1085.70 ms |\\n| 5000 | 5608.33 ms | 3637.42 ms | 3297.24 ms |\\n| 10000 | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** |\\n\\n**Observations:**\\n\\n- As the number of validator nodes increases, the network handles higher traffic more efficiently, as seen in **Configuration 3**, which consistently shows the lowest response times across all thread counts.\\n- Traffic is split among more validator nodes in configurations with higher node counts, reducing the load on individual nodes and improving overall response times.\\n- At **10,000 threads**, all configurations errored out, indicating the upper limit of the network under the current setup. However, **Configuration 3** demonstrated the highest capacity before encountering errors, highlighting the benefits of increased validator nodes for scalability.\\n\\n### 2. Get Token Validator Test\\n\\nThis test measures the time taken for multiple threads to request an access token from a random validator node. Access tokens are essential for sending transactions and performing other write operations on the network.\\n\\n| **Threads** | **Configuration 1** | **Configuration 2** | **Configuration 3** |\\n| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |\\n| 10 | 250.46 ms | 253.37 ms | 170.53 ms |\\n| 50 | 969.38 ms | 855.97 ms | 427.89 ms |\\n| 100 | 1540.05 ms | 1294.32 ms | 638.69 ms |\\n| 250 | 2855.72 ms | 2108.26 ms | 1325.33 ms |\\n| 500 | 4869.79 ms | 3645.61 ms | 3033.06 ms |\\n| 1000 | 7850.41 ms | 6541.31 ms | 5036.91 ms |\\n| 2000 | 21562.69 ms | 12378.07 ms | 7839.82 ms |\\n| 5000 | 62539.38 ms | 37642.91 ms | 22250.88 ms |\\n| 10000 | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** |\\n\\n**Observations:**\\n\\n- As the number of validator nodes increases, the network demonstrates significantly improved performance under higher thread counts. **Configuration 3** consistently shows the lowest response times, benefiting from better load distribution.\\n- At lower thread counts (e.g., 10 or 50), the differences between configurations are minimal since the traffic does not fully utilize the network\'s capacity. However, at higher thread counts (e.g., 500 or more), **Configuration 3** outperforms the others due to its ability to handle a higher volume of concurrent requests.\\n- At **10,000 threads**, all configurations errored out, indicating the network\u2019s throughput limit under the current setup. However, **Configuration 3** reached significantly higher performance thresholds before encountering errors.\\n\\n### 3. Send Transactions to Validator Test\\n\\nThis test measures the time taken for multiple threads to send transactions to validator nodes. Each transaction submission involves the following steps:\\n\\n1. Retrieving an **access token** from a validator node.\\n2. Sending the transaction as an **RPC request** to the validator node using the retrieved token.\\n\\nAdditionally, each transaction validation requires attestations from a subset of validator nodes.\\n\\n> \ud83d\udd17 Note on Attestations: Each transaction validation includes attestations from N validator nodes, where N is a dynamic variable. For this test, N was kept constant at 4 to ensure consistent results.\\n\\n| **Threads** | **Configuration 1** | **Configuration 2** | **Configuration 3** |\\n| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |\\n| 10 | 1052.11 ms | 726.95 ms | 481.58 ms |\\n| 50 | 7059.86 ms | 5783.53 ms | 4866.28 ms |\\n| 100 | 17140.02 ms | 14252.35 ms | 10992.26 ms |\\n| 250 | **Errored Out** | 38932.29 ms | 30432.74 ms |\\n| 500 | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** |\\n\\n**Observations:**\\n\\n- The network\u2019s performance improves with an increasing number of validator nodes, as seen in **Configuration 3**, which consistently shows the best results under higher thread counts.\\n- At lower thread counts (e.g., 10 or 50), the differences between configurations are smaller due to minimal load. However, at higher thread counts, **Configuration 3** handles a significantly larger volume of transactions before encountering errors.\\n- Errors such as timeouts occurred at **250 threads** for **Configuration 1** and **500 threads** for **Configuration 2**, highlighting the limits of these setups. **Configuration 3** demonstrated a higher capacity before reaching its threshold.\\n\\n### 4. Get Transactions Test\\n\\nThis test measures the time required for threads to retrieve transaction data of a particular blockchain address from validator nodes, simulating a typical query load where users request information about transactions. The process involves the following steps:\\n\\n1. The validator node determines the **shard** corresponding to the requested address.\\n2. The validator then identifies the **storage nodes** responsible for that shard and queries them for the transaction data.\\n\\nSince the number of storage nodes remains constant across configurations, the performance at higher thread counts is influenced by this dependency.\\n\\n| **Threads** | **Configuration 1** | **Configuration 2** | **Configuration 3** |\\n| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |\\n| 10 | 1727.71 ms | 949.33 ms | 1108.42 ms |\\n| 50 | 2893.36 ms | 2252.80 ms | 1750.41 ms |\\n| 100 | 4483.29 ms | 3436.79 ms | 2884.57 ms |\\n| 250 | 10896.20 ms | 8963.94 ms | 8788.58 ms |\\n| 500 | 28982.37 ms | 15828.90 ms | 15184.05 ms |\\n| 1000 | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** |\\n\\n**Observations:**\\n\\n- With an increasing number of validator nodes, traffic is distributed more efficiently among the nodes, leading to better response times in **Configuration 3**, particularly under moderate thread counts (e.g., 50\u2013250).\\n- At lower thread counts (e.g., 10 or 50), the performance differences are less pronounced since the network does not experience significant load. However, as thread counts increase, **Configuration 3** handles requests more effectively due to its ability to distribute load better across a higher number of validator nodes.\\n- Errors at **1000 threads** in all configurations highlight the scalability limitations imposed by the constant number of storage nodes. Increasing the number of storage nodes could improve performance at these higher thread counts.\\n\\n### 5. Get Push ID Info Test\\n\\nThis test measures the time required for threads to retrieve Push ID information from validator nodes for a given blockchain address, simulating a typical query load where users request mappings of Push IDs. The process involves the following steps:\\n\\n1. The validator node identifies the **shard** corresponding to the requested address or Push ID.\\n2. It then queries the **storage nodes** responsible for that shard to fetch the required data.\\n\\nAs with other tests, the number of storage nodes remains constant, which impacts performance at higher thread counts.\\n\\n| **Threads** | **Configuration 1** | **Configuration 2** | **Configuration 3** |\\n| ----------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- |\\n| 10 | 1589.68 ms | 1180.90 ms | 1062.32 ms |\\n| 50 | 1551.96 ms | 1924.95 ms | 1139.00 ms |\\n| 100 | 3168.10 ms | 2280.93 ms | 2784.76 ms |\\n| 250 | 6141.76 ms | 5376.59 ms | 5170.25 ms |\\n| 500 | 13462.41 ms | 10437.36 ms | 8337.95 ms |\\n| 1000 | 23817.09 ms | 18082.24 **ms** | 15132.23 ms |\\n| 2000 | 59157.55 ms | 42868.81 ms | 35978.39 ms |\\n| 5000 | **Errored Out** | 104845.75 ms | 77467.87 ms |\\n| 10000 | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** | **Errored Out** |\\n\\n**Observations:**\\n\\n- As the number of validator nodes increases, the load on each individual vnode decreases, improving performance in **Configuration 3**, especially under moderate thread counts (e.g., 50\u2013500).\\n- At higher thread counts (e.g., 1000 or more), the dependency on storage nodes becomes the primary bottleneck, leading to errors or significantly increased retrieval times. Increasing the number of storage nodes would help alleviate these limitations at scale.\\n- **Configuration 3** consistently shows the best results at all thread counts before errors occur, showcasing the benefits of distributing the load across more validator nodes.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## **Conclusions**\\n\\n- **Scalability:** As the number of nodes increased, the Push Chain Network demonstrated significantly improved scalability, particularly in **Configuration 3**. This configuration exhibited the best performance across most tests, showcasing the network\u2019s ability to scale efficiently without sacrificing speed. The benefits of **dynamic sharding** ensured that even as the network grew, the system maintained fast response times, handling multiple concurrent threads effectively.\\n- **Performance Bottlenecks:** While performance remained strong as the node count grew, the network did experience timeouts and errors at higher thread counts. This indicates that, although the system can scale, there are throughput limits at extreme loads. However, **Configuration 3** was able to handle a larger volume of requests compared to smaller configurations, validating the advantages of scaling up the number of validator nodes. Given that the **goal of the Push Chain Network** is to scale up to **100,000 validator nodes**, the throughput limits observed at high thread counts are just the beginning. As the network grows, these limits would become significantly larger, making the network capable of handling a vastly higher volume of requests.\\n- **Real-World Application:** The results illustrate how the Push Chain Network becomes more scalable as nodes are added, making it a robust solution for future consumer-centric applications where network demands will increase.\\n\\nThese benchmarks offer valuable insights into the scaling behaviour of the Push Chain Network, demonstrating its readiness to support growing adoption and demanding workloads. Moving forward, continued optimizations in areas like transaction propagation, parallel processing, and sharding will further enhance the network\u2019s performance, enabling it to handle even higher loads.\\n\\n---"},{"id":"randomized-node-selection-push-chain","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/randomized-node-selection-push-chain","source":"@site/blog/2024-12-09-randomized-node-selection-push-chain/index.md","title":"\ud83d\udc4b Randomized Parallel Validators of Push Chain","description":"\ud83d\udc4b Randomized Parallel Validators of Push Chain","date":"2024-12-09T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"December 9, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Chain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-chain"},{"label":"Push Chain Nodes","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-chain-nodes"},{"label":"Parallel Validators","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/parallel-validators"}],"readingTime":4.633333333333334,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"randomized-node-selection-push-chain","title":"\ud83d\udc4b Randomized Parallel Validators of Push Chain","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"\ud83d\udc4b Randomized Parallel Validators of Push Chain","text":"One of the defining aspects of decentralized networks is their lack of a central authority to govern how they operate.

Instead, these networks rely on a set of rules and systems to securely communicate and reach consensus on the overall state of the network.\\n\\nAchieving this is no small task. It involves many essential components that ensure the network remains secure and fair, and among the most critical of these is **randomness**.\\n\\nAt its core, randomness is the absence of patterns or predictability in events. It\'s what makes a dice roll uncertain, ensures fairness in games, and strengthens the cryptographic algorithms that secure modern systems. In decentralized networks, randomness serves as a cornerstone of security and fairness, helping to prevent bias and manipulation.\\n\\nIn this article, we delve into the importance of randomness in decentralized networks and explore how Push Nodes use randomness to bolster the security of the Push Chain.\\n\\n## Why do we need Randomness?\\n\\nTo begin with, let\u2019s explore why randomness is so important in decentralized networks.\\n\\nAs mentioned earlier, decentralized networks lack a central authority. Instead, they rely on a distributed group of nodes spread across the globe. These nodes are responsible for performing various actions to ensure the network remains operational.\\n\\nFor the network to stay secure and fair, the selection of nodes for specific tasks must happen in a decentralized and unbiased manner. This is where **randomness** becomes crucial.\\n\\nIn decentralized systems, randomness ensures unpredictability in key processes, such as selecting validators or generating cryptographic keys. This unpredictability is vital to prevent malicious actors from manipulating the system or gaining undue control. For example, in consensus mechanisms like Proof of Stake, the random selection of validators ensures that no single participant can dominate the process, preserving the network\'s decentralized nature.\\n\\nRandomness also strengthens the resilience of blockchains by making it harder for attackers to predict or influence outcomes. This unpredictability guards against attacks like **Sybil attacks** (where adversaries create fake identities) or **collusion** (where groups conspire to take control of the network).\\n\\nAdditionally, randomness plays a key role in promoting fairness. It ensures that every participant in the network has an equal chance to contribute and benefit, regardless of their resources or influence.\\n\\nWith this understanding of how crucial randomness is, let\u2019s explore how Push Nodes leverage randomness to enhance the security and fairness of the Push Chain.\\n\\n## A Glance at Push Nodes\\n\\n[Push Nodes](https://push.org/blog/explaining-push-nodes/)\xa0are a significant step towards the decentralized infrastructure for web3\u2019s leading communication layer, Push Network. This network is designed to facilitate secure and efficient movement of web3 notifications.\\n\\nThe Push Chain comprises different types of nodes such as Validator Nodes, Storage Nodes, and Archival Nodes. A smart contract guards the network to maintain node staking and slashing. This is where the PUSH token is used.\\n\\n## How Randomness Is Used to Enhance the Security of Push Chain\\n\\nIn this section, we will specifically understand the complete mechanism of how a transaction is submitted onto Push Chain and the role of randomness involved in the process.\\n\\nIn the Push Chain, the role of randomization is incorporated at multiple levels which allows the network to prevent centralization while ensuring that it remains resilient against a variety of attacks.\\n\\nA crucial security mechanism of the Push Chain is the randomized selection of validators for transaction validation or block production. This mechanism leverages cryptographic randomness to ensure an unpredictable selection of validators &\xa0attestants (who verify whether or not a transaction is legit) to enhance the network\u2019s resilience and fairness.\\n\\n**A brief overview of the process looks something like this:**\\n\\n- To send a transaction to the network, the SDK/sender must attach a randomly generated token number to the transaction.\\n- To fetch this token, the SDK can request the same from any validator.\\n- Once received, the SDK attaches this token to the transaction and sends it to the network.\\n- The network then uses this random token to cryptographically decide the specific validator to verify the particular transaction for further processing.\\n- Additionally, the validator also randomly decides the validator set responsible for attesting to the transaction.\\n\\n## Now, let\u2019s dive deeper into the Randomness of the Push Chain:\\n\\nThe Push SDK selects a random validator (VR1) to generate a special signed (RANDX) hex token.\\n\\nThe generation is performed as follows:\\n\\n### 1. **Generation of a Random Token:**\\n\\nThe network is designed to ensure that a random token cannot merely be generated by a single validator. Instead, it must be a combined effort as every random token is ideally a collection of digitally signed pieces of random numbers provided by specific validators in the network.\\n\\nTo determine the exact number of such pieces required to form the token, the Validator.sol smart contract defines a parameter called\xa0`required_random_number`. This indicates the number of required random peers whose signed values each validator must hold, at a given time. Additionally, the contract also defines an\xa0`expiration_time`\xa0parameter that defines the expiry time for these tokens which helps ensure that only freshly created tokens can be used for the creation of random tokens.\\n\\nIt should be kept in mind that validators in the network periodically ping their peers to collect and exchange signed random values. The collected value from each validator is a combination of the random value itself and the validator\'s signature, ensuring it can be verifiable.\\n\\n```jsx\\nsignedRandomValue = value + validatorSignature;\\n```\\n\\nAs a result, at any given moment the validators should have a collection of signed random values by their peers, i.e.,\xa0**`signedRandomValue[].`**\\n\\nOnce a validator has accumulated the necessary signed random values, it can generate the random token. This token is derived from the network\'s collective randomness using the following formula:\\n\\n```jsx\\nRANDX_Token = XOR(sha(signedRandomValue[i]))for all i\\n\\n```\\n\\n### 2. **The SDK Requests for a Random Token**\\n\\n Next, now let\u2019s understand what happens when the SDK requests for a random token.\\n\\n As previously mentioned, before sending any transaction to the network, the SDK\xa0requests for a random token that must be attached with the transaction being sent.\\n\\n Now, since a random token value has already been generated (as mentioned in step 1), any validator can provide this random token to the SDK.\\n\\n The SDK then attaches this random token to the transaction payloads and sends the transaction to the network.\\n\\n### 3. **Randomized Selection of Validators**\\n\\n This random token attached to the transaction plays a crucial role in randomly deciding which validator will process the transaction. With this token, the SDK deciphers the validator ID, to whom it must send the transaction for further processing.\\n\\n ```jsx\\n validator_id = f( RANDX_TOKEN, contract_defaults)\\n\\n //OUTPUT looks like:\\n validator_id = v1\\n\\n where contractdefault parameters could be:\\n a. min required quantity of random numbers,\\n b. expiration time,\\n c. a minimum number of peers that acknowledge the validator\'s online status.\\n\\n ```\\n\\n Upon receiving the transaction, the validator checks the random token in the transaction\u2019s payload and validates it to confirm that it has been correctly assigned the role of handling this transaction.\\n\\n In case the validator identifies that it has been wrongly chosen,\xa0**_it can reject the transaction._**\\n\\n Once the accurate assignment of the validator is confirmed, the validator now creates a similar randomized process for creating a list of validators who must attest to the transaction being processed.\\n\\n ```jsx\\n vlist = f(RANDX_Token_2nd, contract_defaults);\\n\\n // Output looks like this:\\n (vlist = V2), V50, V11, V8, V38, V17, V29;\\n ```\\n\\n This list of validators is also responsible for verifying its\xa0**legitimacy.**\\n\\n## Summary\\n\\nTo summarize, the entire process detailed above adds a security layer with the inclusion of randomization at multiple levels, i.e.:\\n\\n- **1st Level:**\xa0The initial randomization starts with the SDK choosing any random validator to request for a token to be attached to the transaction.\\n- **2nd Level: A token is generated**\xa0using digitally signed pieces of random values from multiple random validators instead of relying on any single actor.\\n- **3rd Level: A specific validator is randomly selected**\xa0to create the token to be attached before the transaction occurs.\\n- **4th Level:**\xa0The final level of randomization determines which specific validator (VR2) will process a transaction and which validator set will act as attestants to verify the transaction.\\n\\nThis multi-level randomness ensures that at every step, the network is secure, and fair, while continuing to operate in a completely decentralized fashion.\\n\\n---"},{"id":"understand-proof-of-stake-and-push-chain","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/understand-proof-of-stake-and-push-chain","source":"@site/blog/2024-12-09-understand-proof-of-stake-and-push-chain/index.md","title":"Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS","description":"Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS","date":"2024-12-09T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"December 9, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Chain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-chain"},{"label":"Proof of Stake","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/proof-of-stake"},{"label":"Push Chain Nodes","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-chain-nodes"}],"readingTime":5.19,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"understand-proof-of-stake-and-push-chain","title":"Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS","text":"In a globally distributed computing environment, achieving collective agreement on the true state of the system has always been a complex challenge.","tags":["Push Chain","Proof of Stake","Push Chain Nodes"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"\ud83d\udc4b Randomized Parallel Validators of Push Chain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/randomized-node-selection-push-chain"},"nextItem":{"title":"Why PUSH Chain?","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/why-push-chain"}},"content":"![Cover Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n## Introduction\\n\\nIn a globally distributed computing environment, achieving collective agreement on the true state of the system has always been a complex challenge.\\n\\nFortunately, there are algorithms (_specialized instructions_) that assist in preserving this \u2018single-truth-state\u2019 while balancing network security, long-term sustainability, and economic incentives.\\n\\nSuch algorithms in the web3 space, are popularly known as Consensus Algorithms.\\n\\nThis article is the only guide you will need to know about - What Proof of Stake is, its significance and how does it work.\\n\\n## Proof of Stake - A quick overview:\\n\\nProof of Stake is a consensus algorithm used to secure blockchain networks where block producers (validators) are chosen based on the number of tokens they\'re willing to \\"stake\\" or lock up as collateral.\\n\\nValidators are incentivised to act honestly, since, any malicious behaviour would result in them losing their staked assets.\\n\\n![First Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image1.webp)\\n\\nValidators are nodes responsible for securing the network by performing two key actions:\\n\\n- Proposing new blocks - containing transactions.\\n- Attestation - Examining and voting on the blocks proposed by other validators\\n\\nNow that we have a basic understanding about the PoS, lets go down the rabbit hole to know more about it.\\n\\n## Why do we need PoS?\\n\\nEach network is based on some foundational philosophies.\\n\\nBitcoin popularly known for its PoW (Proof of Work) algorithm is based on the principal of earning the right to validate by demonstrating computational work.\\n\\nChains like Ethereum, Solana and Push Chain are predominantly based on the philosophies of \u201cProving value to validate and earn incentives at the risk of commitment and economic loss\u201d\\n\\nThis proves your commitment towards the network by staking tokens to participate in network\u2019s consensus with the risk of being penalized for jeopardizing the network\u2019s security.\\n\\n### Ease of Entry:\\n\\nStaking makes it easier for individuals to participate in securing the network, promoting decentralization.\\n\\nAn Ethereum validator node could be easily run on a normal laptop.\\n\\n### Energy Efficiency:\\n\\n- PoS networks are highly energy efficient in terms of cost of operations and compute consumption.\\n\\n- PoS eliminates the energy-intensive mining computations of PoW, replacing them with a stake-based validator selection process that requires only basic network communication and transaction validation operations.\\n\\n![Second Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image2.webp)\\n\\n![Third Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image3.webp)\\n\\n### Stake to participate:\\n\\nIn PoS networks, influence is tied to economical commitment instead of computational power.\\n\\nParticipants (validators) pledge their assets (stake) in exchange for the right to participate in the network\u2019s consensus.\\n\\nThus, creating a relationship that equally benefits the interests of the validators as well as the collective network.\\n\\n_The equation only stands true until the validators stay true to their commitments._\\n\\n### Skin in the game:\\n\\nThe success of a PoS network hinges on the honesty of its validators.\\n\\nValidators are required to deposit (stake) the networks native currency in adequate quantities to participate in the block creation.\\n\\nValidators risk losing their staked assets _(getting slashed_ \\\\*) if they attempt to game the system for their personal gains by :\\n\\n- Approving fraudulent transactions\\n- Censoring incoming transactions.\\n- Failing to participate\\n- Sending conflicting attestations\\n- Proposing multiple blocks in a single slot (aka Equivocating)\\n\\nAs the network grows, the cost to attack it increases proportionally.\\n\\nThe amount of tokens slashed varies with every network.\\n\\nTo know about slashing values for Push Chain - visit the [Push Chain Governance Proposal](https://gov.push.org).\\n\\n### Scalability:\\n\\nIn PoS the block creation is a process of \u201c**probabilistic election**\u201d rather than \u201c**computation competition**\u201d.\\n\\nSince time taken to elect a validator is significantly less, block creation frequency is (arguably) much higher than PoW networks, significantly boosting transaction speeds and scalability.\\n\\n### Security and Resilience:\\n\\nAs highlighted earlier, in a PoS network, the cost to attack increases proportionally with the network\u2019s growth.\\n\\nA 51% attack\u2014where malicious actors gain control of 51% of staked coins to reverse transactions and manipulate block confirmations becomes increasingly impractical and expensive as the network grows and the token prices rises (ideally).\\n\\nDominic Williams, Founder of ICP, outlines three critical elements of Sybil resistance in his paper\\n\\n\u2018[Sybil-resistant Network Identities From Dedicated Hardware](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eRTAe3szuIoZEloHvRMtZlrU7t2un4UVQ8LarpU3LNk/edit?tab=t.0)\u2019\\n\\n- **Entry Cost:** The expense required to participate.\\n- **Existence Cost**: Ongoing costs to maintain participation.\\n- **Exit Penalty**: The penalties for leaving or misbehaving\\n\\n![Fourth Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image4.webp)\\n\\nPoW chains like Bitcoin does not have an Exit Penalty mechanism to punish the validators for deterring the integrity of network. But PoS chains, like Push Chain cover all the bases, ensuring stricter sybil resistance.\\n\\n## How does Proof of Stake work?\\n\\nThe Proof of Stake (PoS) process operates in three key phases:\\n\\n1. **Validator Selection**\\n2. **Block Creation and Validation**\\n3. **Finalization**\\n\\n### **Validator Selection:**\\n\\n![Fifth Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image5.webp)\\n\\nValidator Selection forms the backbone of PoS, where nodes participate by staking the network\u2019s native currency into a deposit contract. The staked amount must meet or exceed a predetermined threshold or lowerbound (e.g., 32 ETH for Ethereum).\\n\\nTo propose a block, the probability of validators getting elected is directly proportional to the staked amount relative to the total coins staked across the network.\\n\\n### **Block creation:**\\n\\nTimekeeping is critical in PoS, structured through two key units: **Slot** and **Epoch.**\\n\\n- A slot - is a fixed duration of time that varies network to network (1 slot = 12 sec in Ethereum and 400ms in Solana).\\n- **Epoch**: A cycle comprising multiple slots (e.g., 32 slots in Ethereum)\\n\\nSlots are sequential and occur one after other in a linear manner.\\n\\n(_But not in case of Push Chain - More on this later_)\\n\\nEach slot is assigned to a randomly chosen validator, selected through specialized algorithms like RANDAO in Ethereum and VDF - Verifiable Delay Function in Solana.\\n\\nWithin their slot duration, validators are responsible for tasks:\\n\\n- Package transactions into a block\\n- Verify their validity\\n- Initiate the process of propagating the block across the network.\\n\\n![Sixth Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image6.webp)\\n\\n### **Validation and Finalization**\\n\\nOnce a block is proposed, a committee of a defined number of validators is randomly chosen to vote on the validity of the block by careful examining of its contents - This process is called as attestation.\\n\\n**Attestation Weight**: Each vote is weighted based on the validator\u2019s stake.\\n\\n**Confirmation**: A block is finalized when at least 2/3 of the total staked tokens sign off on its validity, ensuring a strong consensus.\\n\\n![Seventh Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image7.webp)\\n\\n### Edge cases:\\n\\n- **Missed Blocks** - Instances when a validator fails to propose a block within their slot, it results in a missed block.\\n- **Orphaned Blocks** - These occur when a block is rejected by the validating committee or during a chain fork. Orphaned blocks represent alternative versions of chain history that are not followed by majority of network.\\n\\nIn summary, this is how the entire process would look like:\\n\\n![Eigth Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image8.webp)\\n\\n## How Push Nodes use PoS?\\n\\nPush Chain - is a Proof of Stake shared state blockchain for shared app experiences designed to support the development of **hyper-scalable, consumer-centric, universal web3 applications.**\\n\\nPush Chain enables txs from any chain (Solana, Eth, EVM, or non-EVM) with fast finality of < 1 second. It has the ability to scale infinitely as nodes increase, supporting tens of thousands of parallel transactions\\n\\n- Any Chain Tx \u26d3\ufe0f\\n- Fee & Wallet Abstraction \ud83d\udcb0\xa0\ud83d\udd10\\n- Parallel Validation and Dynamic Sharding \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f\\n- Consumer tx (unordered) and Traditional tx (ordered)\\n- Universal Smart Contract \ud83c\udf10\\n- Shared App Experience \ud83e\udd1d\\n\\nPush Chain uses an innovative approach towards tweaking its consensus mechanism in order to incorporate its multi-node architecture and ability to support both, ordered and un-ordered blocks with parallel validation.\\n\\nPush Chain distributes responsibilities across three specialized node types:\\n\\n**Validator Nodes** - Forms the backbone of the network, handling transaction validation and block production.\\n\\n**Storage Nodes** - Manage the network\'s data through dynamic sharding, enabling efficient distribution and retrieval. Storage Nodes work in sync with validators to ensure data availability and decentralization.\\n\\n**Archival Nodes** - Serve as the network\'s historical record keepers, storing complete transaction logs and providing WebSocket functionality for real-time data access and analytics.\\n\\nOptimised for hyper scalable consumer apps - Push Chain introduces **stateless blocks** with parallel execution for faster processing and validation of non-value consumer data transactions.\\n\\nFor selecting block validators - the system uses a multi-level randomization process to avoid validator collusion during parallel block processing.\\n\\nMore details about the randomization mechanism can be found in the [Push Chain Whitepaper](https://whitepaper.push.org).\\n\\nTo maintain the network\u2019s economical integrity Push Chain has a modified penalising mechanism which includes the act of \u2018Reporting\u2019. It acts like a warning to correct the node\u2019s behaviour instead of simply slashing and banning the node instantly.\\n\\n![Ninth Image of Understand Proof of Stake (POS) and Push Chain PoS](./image9.webp)\\n\\nThere are a lot more novel and interesting elements that make Push Chain a powerful choice for building Universal Apps.

However, practically, there\u2019s an evident misalignment where today\u2019s web3 infrastructure is more optimized for financial use cases.\\n\\nFinancial apps and consumer-centric apps (_e.g. social, gaming, etc_) inherently have different infrastructure needs:\\n\\nFinance-specific apps require:\\n\\n- _A high level of security,_\\n- _Strict transaction and block ordering,_\\n- _Prioritization of state accuracy and finality over speed, etc._\\n\\nOn the flip side consumer apps require more flexible models that emphasize:\\n\\n- _Hyper scalability_\\n- _Low latency_\\n- _Simplified UX_\\n- _Affordability_\\n- _Support for both ordered and unordered transactions ( a.k.a, consumer transactions, as we call it )_\\n\\nWeb3 ecosystem is heavily skewed towards financial applications. The bias is evident in the rise of projects centered around trading, lending, staking, perps, and similar use cases.\\n\\nSuch finance-centric infrastructure forces consumer apps to make suboptimal compromises impacting their performance and usability.\\n\\nEven the advent of app-specific chains hasn\u2019t fully resolved these tradeoffs.\\n\\nFor instance, the [**State of Crypto 2024**](https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/state-of-crypto-report-2024/) report by a16z highlights how on-chain games running on dedicated rollups are struggling to keep up with the increasing user demand, straining the network and as a result consuming multifolds of M/gas (_mega gas per second_) as compared to Ethereum.\\n\\n![First Image of Why Push Chain](./image1.webp)\\n\\nConsumer-centric apps, which could appeal to broader audiences, are still in their infancy compared to the much more mature and sophisticated DeFi sector.\\n\\nThis focus on finance has led to a situation where the average user might view web3 as a playground for traders and investors rather than a tool for everyday life.\\n\\nThe report from a16z also provides another key insight:\\n\\n![Second Image of Why Push Chain](./image2.webp)\\n\\n**Out of ~617 million global crypto users, only 5-10% (30-60 million) users actively transact!**\\n\\nBarriers to entry, the dilemma of choosing the right chain, and multiple points of friction in UX could reasonably be attributed as causes of the growing share of dormant users.\\n\\n![Third Image of Why Push Chain](./image3.webp)\\n\\nVitalik in his [recent talk at Devcon](https://youtu.be/ei3tDRMjw6k?si=w1kYuzgR0ho-90Eb&t=1775) (timestamp: 29:35) emphasized the need for building both non-financial and mixed financial applications.\\n\\n### **Fragmentation of chains is a major blocker towards overall web3 UX improvement**\\n\\nWith Vitalik\u2019s conception of the _Rollup-Centric Roadmap, back in 2020,_ Ethereum pivoted towards rollups as their scaling strategy - as **bundling multiple transactions**\xa0**into batches**\xa0significantly increased\xa0**_transaction throughput_**\xa0and\xa0**_reduced transaction costs._**\\n\\nThis solved Ethereum\u2019s scalability issues effectively and led to an abundance of _L2 and L3 chains._\\n\\nHowever, the joyous ride is now hitting some rough bumps.\\n\\n### UX Fragmentation\\n\\n_Clutter is the Enemy of Clarity._\\n\\nWith each additional step spent completing an action, including switching between networks, time spent in choosing the right chain, protocol, or wallet, decreases [_Psych_ - a unit of measure for motivation to complete an action.](https://andrewchen.com/psychd-funnel-conversion/)\\n\\nHere is a quick glance at what a typical web3 user needs to deal with in this multi-chain universe:\\n\\n- Managing multiple wallets,\\n- Managing multiple native tokens/assets in their multiple wallets,\\n- Understanding the nuances of each network,\\n- Navigating multiple networks to perform simple tasks,\\n- Interacting with complicated dapp UIs with frequent network switching\\n- Navigate through inconsistent user interfaces\\n- Relying on the risky route of cross-chain bridging between chains\\n- Experiencing difficulty in maintaining a consistent cross-chain identity due to the multi-chain ecosystem\\n- Dealing with the lack of standardization between networks, protocols, etc\\n- Dealing with the learning curve of understanding different networks, each with its own set of rules, interfaces, and requirements.\\n\\nRemember that this is just a glance at the UX problem.\\n\\nThere are undoubtedly more issues for a web3 user daily. The list is even longer when it comes to newbie web3 users.\\n\\n![Fourth Image of Why Push Chain](./image4.webp)\\n\\n### User Retention Challenges\\n\\nPoor UX can directly impact user retention.\\n\\nTruth be told, it already is impacting user retention.\\n\\nWhen users encounter difficulties in navigating the web3 ecosystem, they are less likely to return to it. High-profile dApps that have struggled with user retention due to UX issues serve as cautionary tales for new projects entering the space. Complex interfaces, slow transaction times, and confusing wallet setups have all contributed to a decline in user engagement and adoption.\\n\\n### **Security and Trust Concerns**\\n\\nThe complexity of managing multiple chains also introduces security risks.\\n\\nUsers must ensure that they are interacting with the correct chain, using the right wallet, and understanding the implications of each transaction. This complexity increases the likelihood of user errors, such as sending assets to the wrong address or falling victim to phishing attacks.\\n\\nFurthermore, the process of bridging assets between these chains is quite often cumbersome and fraught with risks. Users must rely on various bridging protocols, which not only add to the complexity but also introduce potential security vulnerabilities. For instance, a user willing to move tokens from Ethereum to an L2 solution must navigate multiple steps, including wrapping and unwrapping tokens, which can be a deterrent for new users.\\n\\n### **Increased Complexity for Builders:**\\n\\nEach chain often has its own development tools, SDKs, and environments that developers must learn & adapt to, which can be time-consuming and lead to inconsistencies in development practices. Maintaining applications that operate across multiple chains requires managing multiple codebases or conditional code paths. This can lead to significant maintenance overhead, especially when chains update their protocols or APIs.\\n\\nEach additional chain integrated into an application introduces new potential vulnerabilities. Developers must ensure that the security of cross-chain interactions is robust, as any weakness could lead to exploits or hacks.\\n\\nFurthermore, developing for a multi-chain ecosystem that still lacks adequate standardization - is costly. It requires more time and resources, as developers need to learn and implement different protocols, test on multiple platforms, and ensure compatibility across the whole environment involved. The additional cost of extensive security audits makes the process of building & maintaining apps even more difficult.\\n\\nThere is no one size fits all solution, nor is there a way to restrict the proliferation of chains.\\n\\n**_But what if there was a way to unify every fragmented state under one shared state?_**\\n\\n### **A shared state chain is needed that can enable shared app experiences**\\n\\nLet\u2019s dive a bit further into the complexities of multi-chain web3 world.\\n\\nWhile fragmented UX is definitely a concern, there are more.\\n\\nThere are over 30 Layer 1s, 120 Layer 2s and soon thousands of Layer 3 chains.\\nImagine the sheer number of DApps deployed on all of these chains!\\n\\nNewer chains have led to the rise of siloed environments having limited or zero awareness of each others state - even Ethereum!\\n\\nThe majority of these apps still operate within closed systems. Contracts pertaining to each chain store states in an isolated manner leaving little opportunity for users for a unified experience. Siloed environments in turn add more interop complexities forcing developers to **shift price-sensitive apps** to app-sensitive infrastructure, further affecting the UX and escalating fragmentation.\\n\\nHere is a quick look at Vitalik and Justin Drake talking about the same issues:\\n\\n![Fifth Image of Why Push Chain](./image5.webp)\\n\\n![Sixth Image of Why Push Chain](./image6.webp)\\n\\nWith such an extent of liquidity, state and UX fragmentation, it becomes troublesome for web3 apps/users to seamlessly interact with apps on multiple chains. In fact, in order to move assets or payloads between chains, a user is often exposed to the on-chain intricacies and risks to achieve simple tasks.\\n\\nFor instance, a use with governance token on chain A cannot vote on any proposal of the same protocol on chain B as there is no unified system to support this activity. As a result, every app on a specific chain becomes its own siloed state.\\n\\nThis leads to an issue where there is no unified infra for apps to be built on. And there is a shared app experience for users to just use apps without having to worry about the underlying chains, finality risks, bridging or facing complicated UX.\\n\\nSo far, we have discussed the concerns.\\n\\nLet\u2019s now understand what is Push Chain and how it helps us resolve these concerns.\\n\\n## Enter Push Chain\\n\\nPush Chain is a shared state blockchain for shared app experience.\\n\\nIt is a Proof of Stake (PoS) chain built to allow developers to create scalable and universal apps and act as a shared settlement layer for multiple L1s, L2s and L3s. It is designed to allow transactions from any chain, use fee abstraction to avoid the strict requirement of native gas tokens for multiple chains and provide wallet abstraction for seamless onboarding and signing for any user.\\n\\nIt also introduces a new transaction type which we define as consumer transactions (where ordering is not important) to enable non-financial apps to have the speed and scalability which any consumer app requires. It leverages new mechanisms like parallel block execution and dynamic sharding to enable true scaling, and providing the perfect environment for any consumer app or universal app to thrive in the era of fragmented chains.\\n\\n![Seventh Image of Why Push Chain](./image7.webp)\\n\\nPush chain aims to solve some of the critical concerns in web3 today, as previously explained, and it plans to solve them in 3 specific phases. Each of these phases tackle a particular problem and eventually leads us to our core vision of achieving a shared app experience for web3 and enable universal apps with enhanced UX.\\n\\nMentioned below are the 3 main phases:\\n\\n1. **Phase-1:** To enable consumer-centric apps with hyper scalability, fee abstraction, wallet abstraction and any chain transactions.\\n2. **Phase-2:** To enable seamless interoperability between chains for apps and users. \\n (_An intermediary phase to enable the universal smart contracts and shared state_)\\n3. **Phase-3:** To enable universal smart contracts and shared state in order to make other chain\u2019s state accessible on Push Chain and unlocking the era of universal apps.\\n\\nNow, let\u2019s understand each of the above-mentioned concerns and explore how Push Chain aims to resolve them.\\n\\n1. **The Concerns with Consumer-Specific App**\\n\\n So far we have explored why building and using consumer-specific web3 apps is difficult.\\n\\n However, let\u2019s now dive deep to first understand what exactly does a consumer-app required and how Push Chain completes those requirements.\\n\\n Some of the main requirements of a consumer-centric applications are:\\n\\n 1. **Simplified User-Onboarding:** Apps required seamless onboarding and intuitive user interface. In simpler terms, this indicates that applications should be so easy to use that the user should never have to learn the intricacies of the underlying technology stack.\\n\\n However, its not the case in web3. The intuitiveness ends the moment users are required to _set up a web3 wallet and remember the mnemonics_. This means the very first step a user is required to do for using web3 apps will most likely be the most difficult step in itself.\\n\\n Once the user enters the rabbit hole of using a web3 app, they are then required to either _choose a chain, sign a transaction, collect and manage native gas tokens of the respective chain, switch between different chains, bridge tokens, etc._ The list goes on and **_the further you explore, the harder the UX._**\\n\\n With Wallet Abstraction, Push Chain aims to enable seamless user onboarding without going through the manual and complicated procedure of setting up a web3 wallet.\\n\\n ![Eigth Image of Why Push Chain](./image8.webp)\\n\\n Wallet abstraction addresses challenges by removing the need for direct mnemonic management. Instead, Push Chain allows users to authenticate using familiar methods like _social logins, email, or phone numbers._ This system abstracts away the complexity of mnemonic custody by securely managing a master key pair on behalf of the user, while still ensuring they retain ultimate control.\\n\\n The Push wallet can dynamically derive blockchain-specific keys from the master key pair, enabling seamless interaction across multiple blockchain networks. By simplifying wallet operations and providing a unified experience, wallet abstraction reduces friction, enhances usability, and makes blockchain technology more accessible without compromising security.\\n\\n > _The whitepaper explains the Key Management and technical aspects around keys in greater detail. Check it out here_\\n\\n 2. **Instant Finality & Scalability:** A consumer-centric app needs to support a large number of users without compromising performance. Additionally, it needs to support instant finality so that users experience a similar speed as in traditional apps.\\n\\n Although layer 2 solutions and rollups aim to address scalability, the current state of web3 still struggles to match the speed and efficiency of traditional centralized systems. For a consumer-centric app, any delay in processing or finalizing transactions will lead to a poor user experience.\\n\\n **Push Chain** is designed to solve this with its instant finality as well as its support for unordered transactions, a.k.a, consumer transactions.\\n\\n A consumer transaction can be defined as the type of transaction that doesn\'t benefit from the strict ordering as seen in traditional web3 transactions where strict ordering with a nonce is mandatory. These can also be categorized as transfers of consumer data like notifications, emails, blogs, etc that do not require a strict order to be executed.\\n\\n Since there is no state change for such transactions, they don\u2019t need to change the merkle root of the network and thus can be called **orderless transactions.**\\n\\n Examples of these transactions can be emails sent from one user to another, posting on social media, writing blogs, creating content, defining user settings for an app, defining user meta-data, storing soft state data for gaming among others.\\n\\n The chain is designed to facilitate a wide range of consumer transactions, providing a robust and scalable platform for decentralized applications. The transaction model in the Push Chain is tailored to support high-throughput, low-latency operations, ensuring that various applications can interact seamlessly.\\n\\n **Since scalability is crucial for any application, phase 1** of the Push Chain roadmap includes the development of new optimization such as **parallel block execution and dynamic sharding** to create the true scaling of web3 apps, enabling read and write capabilities that scale as the number of nodes in the network scales, which provides an infrastructure that can handle the needs of thousands of applications related to speed and scalability.\\n\\n 3. **Affordability:** A major pain point of using any app is the associated cost. If an app requires a user to spend a high as well as indeterministic cost every time he/she wishes to use the app - the user will most likely never use it.\\n\\n Consumers expect low or no fees for transactions within apps, especially non-monetary ones. Gas fees, while necessary to secure the network, are a major barrier to consumer adoption. In web3, transaction fees are often too high for the average consumer; even more so during network congestion. However, solving this has been difficult as there is a always gas fees/network fees associated with any and every action a user might want to take.\\n\\n **With Push Chain\u2019s Fee Abstraction feature,** we eliminate this problem to a greater extent.\\n\\n Fee Abstraction is a key feature of this chain that eliminates the friction of requiring to hold native gas strictly in the wallet in use.\\n\\n Furthermore, a sustainable decentralized network needs to be present in order to ensure the long-term viability of the project. To do this, we propose including a mechanism for having a fee quota.\\n\\n A user is able to purchase fees in bulk that can then be used by them, delegated to other users / wallets or can even be paid by web3 applications. The key idea behind locking fees in bulk is to ensure that the transaction coming from whatever blockchain network is not limited by the speed of that particular blockchain\u2019s TPS.\\n\\n Additionally, there is a fallback mechanism that does a graceful conversion using swapper contracts which takes the native token of a specific blockchain and swaps it for Push Chain\u2019s fees.\\n\\n This ensures that in the event a different chain user doesn\u2019t have enough fees, even then the network is still able to fallback and use that particular blockchain\u2019s native token for the conversion and eventual processing of the transaction. This mechanism ensures that even running out of quota is not a barrier to transaction creation, providing flexibility in payment methods.\\n\\n2. **The Concerns with Multi-Chain Navigation & Fragmented Ecosystem**\\n\\n As previously stated, a core reason behind difficult UX in web3 is the existence of multiple different chains. Each of these chains offers some key feature but eventually leads to a fragmented ecosystem.\\n\\n If we observe the space as whole, carefully, it is quite evident that there are two main requirements for apps to navigate such an ecosystem:\\n\\n - Fast and reliable movement of value and messages between chains ( _for both apps and users )_\\n - A shared state infrastructure that allows building apps that appear to work seamlessly in a unified fashion and give a **shared app experience** to the user - completely eradicating the complexity of navigating multiple chains for using apps.\\n\\n If an infrastructure achieves both of these for the apps built on top of it, it can ideally resolve the most difficult UX problem that exists in web3 apps today.\\n\\n That\u2019s exactly what Push Chain aims to solve in its Phase 2 and 3.\\n\\n **With Phase 2** of its roadmap, the chain aims to establish seamless interoperability between chains to enable cross-chain features in the apps. The interoperability shall be enabled using a solver network capable of instant cross-chain transactions to ensure better UX. The network shall be designed to move not just value but also arbitrary payloads that seamlessly transfer smart contract calls to other chains.\\n\\n The main goals of this phase is to:\\n\\n - Enable fast and reliable movement of messages/assets between chain\\n - Delegate on-chain intricacies and risks from users to solvers ( _specialized on-chain actors )_\\n\\n At the point in which both of these goals are accomplished, we will achieve a win for both the users and the apps on top of Push Chain.\\n\\n **With Phase 3,** we achieve the shared state L1 chain that is capable of supporting universal apps. Most importantly, this phase establishes one of the key features of Push Chain, i.e., **shared app experiences** (with Shared State).\\n\\n Shared state allows Push Chain to access data from its own chain as well as supported external chains. Combining this with Push ID enables universal smart contracts wherein the smart contracts on Push Chain have access to the state of all of the wallets of the user even if those wallets belong to other chain(s). This enables developers to understand the user and build universal smart contracts to fulfill the user\u2019s need irrespective of what chain(s) the user state is on which ushers countless innovations.\\n\\n ![Ninth Image of Why Push Chain](./image9.webp)\\n\\n The feature opens up the entire web3 userbase to be available for a web3 application enabling shared app experiences no matter from what blockchain the user accesses the application. It also makes Push Chain the shared settlement layer for all other chains (EVM / Non-EVM).\\n\\n This enables developers to completely abstract away any learning from the user, creating an era where a user does not use Uniswap \u201con Ethereum\u201d or Uniswap \u201con Polygon\u201d or Uniswap \u201con Arbitrum\u201d \u2014 but rather simply **uses Uniswap** for its features.\\n\\n---\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nThis article was an extensive guide to understanding the need for Push Chain, what it offers, and how it benefits the overall web3 ecosystem.\\n\\nIt is quite evident how the above-mentioned concerns with web3 today is a major blocker behind the growth of consumer-centric web3 apps.\\n\\nWith Push Chain, we aim to resolve each of these blockers and provide an infrastructure dedicated to building and supporting top-notch web3 apps with hyper scalability, enhanced user onboarding, better UX with wallet and fee abstraction, and a shared state L1 chain designed to build universal apps with shared app experience.\\n\\n## Next Steps\\n\\n1. **The [Governance Proposal](https://gov.push.org/t/introducing-push-chain-a-shared-state-l1-for-universal-apps/1991) for Push Chain is now LIVE** and Push community members have the opportunity to vote on the proposal as well as share their views and ask questions below.\\n2. **Check out the [Push Chain Whitepaper](https://whitepaper.push.org?utm_source=pushblog&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pcgov)** for a detailed overview of the vision and the underlying technicalities.\\n3.

Because wallet addresses are public by design, users face risks from unsolicited messages, data mining, and phishing attempts. This challenge requires a secure, private communication layer that preserves the decentralized nature of the blockchain. An effective solution must give users complete control over their data while allowing smooth, private interactions. Push Protocol addresses this need by enhancing privacy in on-chain communications without compromising usability or security.\\n\\n### **End-to-End Encryption: Ensuring Message Privacy**\\n\\nPush ensures that every message exchanged between users remains private, leveraging robust end-to-end encryption. This encryption ensures that only the sender and recipient can access the content, effectively safeguarding sensitive information from prying eyes.\\n\\nWhen users register with Push Chat using their wallet, a unique public-private key pair is generated. This method removes the need for usernames or passwords, ensuring privacy by design. The private key stays securely within the user\u2019s wallet, while the public key allows others to encrypt messages intended for them. For example, when User A sends a message to User B, the message is encrypted with User B\'s public key, ensuring that only User B\u2014holding the corresponding private key\u2014can decrypt and read it.\\n\\nThis process, powered by asymmetric cryptography, guarantees that no third party can intercept or decipher the communication. By placing security and privacy at the core of its design, Push empowers user privacy, even in a decentralized environment.\\n\\n### **PGP Key Security: Your Private Key, Your Privacy**\\n\\nPush takes a decentralized approach to key management by generating and encrypting PGP keys locally on users\' devices. These keys are protected using advanced encryption methods, ensuring only the user can access them. These private keys never leave the user\u2019s control, ensuring that their communication remains secure. This commitment to decentralization ensures that privacy is not a feature to be toggled but a default guarantee for all Push users. Think of it as having your personal safe: only you hold the key, and no one else, not even Push, can open it.\\n\\n### **Anonymous Communication: No Personal Information Required**\\n\\nUnlike traditional platforms that require personal identifiers like email addresses or phone numbers, Push enables wallet-to-wallet messaging. This innovation allows users to communicate anonymously, relying solely on their Web3 wallets for identity. By removing the need for personal identifiers, Push eliminates the common risks of data breaches and misuse of personal information. This feature not only enhances privacy but also aligns with the principles of pseudonymity and anonymity by offering valuable protections and can be used to enhance privacy and security on the blockchain.\\n\\n### **Decentralized Storage with IPFS**\\n\\nPush stores messages securely on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a decentralized storage solution that ensures data integrity and security. Using IPFS, Push ensures that data is distributed across multiple nodes, making it nearly impossible for hackers to tamper with or breach.\\n\\nPush\u2019s decentralized infrastructure minimizes security risks like data breaches while providing faster access to data and greater resilience. This approach ensures that even if one node fails, user messages remain accessible and secure, offering uninterrupted service.\\n\\n### **Spam Prevention for Better Privacy**\\n\\nSpam and unwanted messages can be significant privacy concerns. Push mitigates this with chat requests and opt-in notifications, empowering users to control who can contact them. Chat requests allow users to preview messages before accepting them, while opt-in notifications ensure that only chosen channels can send updates. This spam prevention mechanism ensures that users\u2019 communication remains meaningful and free from unnecessary intrusion.\\n\\n### **Privacy in NFT and Token-Gated Groups**\\n\\nPush goes beyond one-on-one messaging by enabling private group chats for NFT and token holders. Access to these groups is determined by ownership of specific NFTs or tokens, creating exclusive spaces for members. This functionality allows users to participate in exclusive communities without revealing personal information. Whether it\u2019s an NFT club or a DAO working group, Push ensures that privacy is maintained across all interactions.\\n\\n### **Cross-Chain Privacy**\\n\\nAs Web3 grows increasingly multi-chain, Push ensures seamless and private communication across blockchain networks. This is achieved using advanced encryption and decentralized architecture, ensuring messages remain secure no matter the blockchain. This cross-chain capability fosters decentralized collaboration while upholding privacy principles in diverse ecosystems.\\n\\n### **The Future of Onchain Communication**\\n\\nPush is setting new standards for privacy in on-chain communications. With powerful end-to-end encryption, decentralized storage, and anonymous messaging, Push delivers secure communication for all users. As Web3 grows, Push remains dedicated to empowering users with privacy tools that make their experience better.\\n\\nIn a world where data is currency, Push protects what matters most\u2014your privacy."},{"id":"monthly-recap-october-2024","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/monthly-recap-october-2024","source":"@site/blog/2024-11-15-monthly-recap-october-2024/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - October","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - October","date":"2024-11-15T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"November 15, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Updates","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/updates"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Community & Ecosystem","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/community-ecosystem"}],"readingTime":3.23,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"monthly-recap-october-2024","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - October","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - October","text":"October has been another outstanding month for Push Protocol, showcasing significant advancements across development, integrations, and community engagement.","tags":["Updates","Announcements","Community & Ecosystem"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"How Push Enhances Privacy in On-Chain Communications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-enhances-privacy-in-on-chain-communications"},"nextItem":{"title":"Ecosystem Integrations: How Push Works with Other Protocols","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-works-with-other-protocols"}},"content":"![Cover Image of Push Protocol Monthly Updates - October](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nOctober has been another outstanding month for Push Protocol, showcasing significant advancements across development, integrations, and community engagement.

By enabling real-time updates, Push empowers users to stay informed, manage assets, and streamline their activities, supporting the decentralized ecosystem like never before.\u201d Here\'s a look at how Push Protocol works with significant players like Lens Protocol, Hats Protocol, ENS Domains, Hyperliquid, and others to enhance the user experience and bring our decentralized ecosystem into an age of real-time communications.\\n\\n### **Lens Protocol: Real-Time Notifications for Social Engagement**\\n\\nPush Protocol enhances the user experience for Lens Protocol by delivering real-time notifications, creating a more engaging and interactive social ecosystem. Lens users can now receive notifications for critical events on their profiles, such as new followers, likes, and comments. This functionality ensures that users are always informed about activities related to their presence on the platform, making it easier to respond to interactions and engage with their community.\\n\\nThrough Push, Lens allows users to opt-in to receive these notifications directly in their wallets, creating a seamless Web3 experience that feels native and intuitive.\xa0 By keeping users engaged and aware of important updates in real-time, Push helps maintain a lively and responsive social ecosystem within Lens.\\n\\nAs both the official Lens Protocol channel and the Push ecosystem continue to grow, it will be fascinating to see how developers expand upon the existing connections.\\n\\nSubscribe to the [Lens Protocol Channel](https://app.push.org/channels/0xef6426D522CfE5B7Ae5dB05623aB0Ef78023dBe0) \ud83d\udd14\\n\\n### **Hats Protocol: Streamlined, Role-Based DAO Communication**\\n\\nFor DAOs that use Hats Protocol for decentralized role and permission management, Push Protocol offers token-gated group chat integrations. Hats Protocol\'s unique model of assigning \\"hats\\" or roles on-chain means that specific members are granted distinct responsibilities within a DAO. Push enhances this framework by enabling private group chats accessible only to members with particular hats, such as \\"Treasury Manager\\" or \\"Governance Lead.\\"\\n\\nThis integration helps streamline communications within DAOs, ensuring that discussions remain relevant and focused by limiting access to members directly involved. By ensuring that only relevant members are part of each conversation, it increases efficiency and reduces noise, allowing DAOs to make faster, more informed decisions. It strengthens confidentiality and relevance in DAO interactions, keeping sensitive conversations secure and organized by the roles that are assigned by Hats Protocol.\\n\\nWith Hats injected into our token-gated group chats and beyond, we couldn\u2019t be more bullish on the future of all communities. This setup not only improves security but also helps foster more collaborative, transparent and organized environments within DAO and beyond.\\n\\n### **ENS Domains: Ensuring Domain Retention with Expiration Notifications**\\n\\nThe Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a system that lets users replace long wallet addresses with easy-to-remember names (Domain Name Service - DNS) on the Ethereum blockchain.\xa0 It is widely used for decentralized identity, allowing users to replace complex wallet addresses with easily recognizable names. However, managing ENS domains can be challenging, especially with expiration dates that can easily be missed.\\n\\nIn the fast paced world, staying on top of your decentralized identity is crucial. ENS Domain represents your identity, and letting them expire could mean losing access to vital services or communities. Push Protocol provides critical notifications for ENS holders when their domains are about to expire, allowing them to take timely action to avoid losing their names.\\n\\nThese notifications are sent straight to the user\u2019s wallet, so they can quickly take action.\xa0 No need to worry about missing emails or alerts elsewhere. This integration with Push enhances the user experience by safeguarding ENS ownership, reducing the risk of accidental lapses, and ensuring that users retain control over their decentralized identities.\\n\\nSubscribe to the [ENS Domains Channel](https://app.push.org/channels/0x983110309620D911731Ac0932219af06091b6744) \ud83d\udd14\\n\\n### **Hyperliquid: Real-Time Notifications for DeFi Risk Management**\\n\\nIn the fast-paced world of decentralized finance, Hyperliquid users benefit from Push Protocol\'s real-time alerts, which enable proactive risk management. For traders on Hyperliquid, staying on top of liquidation risks and position updates is essential. Push provides instant notifications to users\' wallets, allowing them to manage risks, optimize trades, and act immediately when market conditions change.\\n\\nThis integration empowers DeFi users to make informed decisions in real-time, react quickly to price movements, and manage positions efficiently. It\'s a powerful tool for anyone trading in DeFi who wants to maximize their strategy and minimize risk.\\n\\nSubscribe to the [Hyperliquid Channel](https://app.push.org/channels/0xf1A1542Ca902AE861B59bffE77D92E8CD76146f1) \ud83d\udd14\\n\\n### **Uniswap: Liquidity Pool Monitoring**\\n\\nToday, Push is used by many leading decentralized exchanges to notify traders of changes in their positions, changes in prices, and other use cases. Uniswap utilizes its Push channel to\xa0 notify liquidity providers of significant changes in pool ratios, impermanent loss, or yield fluctuations. By keeping providers updated on the performance and risk of their assets, Push helps optimize liquidity management for decentralized exchanges. These real-time insights help liquidity providers make smarter decisions, manage risks better, and ultimately boost the liquidity and efficiency of decentralized markets.\\n\\nSubscribe to the [Uniswap V3 Channel](https://app.push.org/channels/0x97E5271f2987c7A3450e21dD7FFe4D004ddE773E) \ud83d\udd14\\n\\n### **Snapshot: Voting Alerts for DAOs**\\n\\nPush Protocol is an excellent addition to governance platforms like Snapshot. Through Snapshot\u2019s existing integration, DAOs and other on-chain communities can inform their community members about upcoming votes, results, and other governance actions. By using real-time notifications to ensure that users never miss an important vote or proposal update, Push is helping to encourage and increase active participation in DAO governance. Over time, [as noted in our initial announcement](https://push.org/blog/epns-partners-with-snapshot/), we expect the integration to be even further expanded to account for the needs of the frequently changing governance landscape.\\n\\nSubscribe to the [Snapshot Channel](https://app.push.org/channels/0x8C28Cf33d9Fd3D0293f963b1cd27e3FF422B425c) \ud83d\udd14\\n\\n### **Push for Gitcoin Grants?**\\n\\nPush does not currently have an integration with Gitcoin; however, Push Protocol could serve as a valuable tool for notifying contributors about campaign updates and new grant opportunities in the Gitcoin ecosystem. Contributors can opt-in to receive alerts for milestones, campaign deadlines, and updates on funded projects they support, keeping them engaged and informed about the causes they care about. In fact, every crypto ecosystem grants program can and will be able to benefit from such an integration.\\n\\n### **Looking Ahead: Real-Time Comms for All**\\n\\nWith its growing network of integrations, Push is poised to become the backbone of decentralized communication. Push Protocol\'s integrations with Lens Protocol, Hats Protocol, ENS Domains, Hyperliquid, and hundreds of other web3 projects are advancing decentralized user experiences across multiple areas. From social media and DeFi to DAO operations and digital identity, Push provides the essential infrastructure for real-time communication that keeps users engaged, informed, and in control. This will unlock more possibilities for users, giving them greater control and access to the real-time information that powers decentralized applications. As more protocols integrate Push\'s notification capabilities, the web3 space moves closer to delivering seamless, responsive, and user-centric experiences."},{"id":"how-push-chat-is-different-from-traditional-chat-platforms","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-chat-is-different-from-traditional-chat-platforms","source":"@site/blog/2024-11-01-why-push-chat-is-diferent-from-other-traditional-platforms/index.md","title":"How Push Chat is Different from Traditional Chat Platforms ","description":"How Push Chat is Different from Traditional Chat Platforms?","date":"2024-11-01T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"November 1, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Technical","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/technical"},{"label":"Push Tech","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-tech"}],"readingTime":4.743333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"SixtyKeys","title":"Guest Contributor","url":"https://x.com/sixty_keys","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorsixty.png","key":"sixty"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"how-push-chat-is-different-from-traditional-chat-platforms","title":"How Push Chat is Different from Traditional Chat Platforms ","authors":["sixty"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"How Push Chat is Different from Traditional Chat Platforms?","text":"Learn about the key USPs that position Push Chat as the go-to messaging tool for Web3.","tags":["Technical","Push Tech"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Ecosystem Integrations: How Push Works with Other Protocols","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-works-with-other-protocols"},"nextItem":{"title":"What is Decentralized Social Media and Why Does it Matter?","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/what-is-decentralized-social-media"}},"content":"![Cover image of How Push Chat is Different from Traditional Chat Platforms](./cover-image.webp)\\n\x3c!-- truncate --\x3e\\n\\nAs the digital landscape shifts toward further decentralization, users\' expectations around privacy, control, and engagement in their favorite chat platforms are evolving too. [Push Chat](https://push.org/docs/chat/#:~:text=Push%20Chat%20is%20a%20web3,numbers%2C%20email%20addresses%2C%20etc.), the communication protocol of Web3 reimagines digital messaging by incorporating new technologies, improved UX, and user-first functionalities that traditional platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal lack.\\n\\nIn this article, we dig deeper into what sets Push Chat apart.\\n\\n### Privacy+Anonymity: No Phone Number or Email Required\\n\\nTraditional chat apps like WhatsApp and Telegram require a phone number or email to register, tying users to a specific identity, which can expose them to data tracking, phishing, or unwanted contacts. Push Chat bypasses this entirely. Users only need a [compatible EVM wallet](https://push.org/docs/notifications/supported-wallet-standards/) to connect, meaning they can remain anonymous and communicate securely without compromising their identity while keeping personal data decentralized and user-controlled. \\n\\nUnlike centralized platforms that store personal information on servers, Push Chat\u2019s decentralized model gives users complete control over their data, removing the risk of centralized data leaks or misuse. \\n\\nThis approach aligns with the principles of decentralization, where privacy and ownership of data are prioritized, giving users a significant advantage over conventional platforms.\\n\\n\\n### Spam Prevention with Opt-In Chats\\n\\nSpam and unwanted messages are a common issue in traditional platforms. Push Chat employs a unique approach: it requires users to accept a request to chat before any conversation begins. This built-in spam filter means users won\u2019t receive unsolicited messages unless they\u2019ve approved the contact, making for a more streamlined and distraction-free experience.\\n\\nTraditional platforms often struggle with managing unsolicited contacts, relying heavily on manual blocking or report mechanisms, whereas Push Chat\u2019s solution is proactive and user-friendly.\\n\\n### Public Key Cryptography(PKC) for Message Encryption\\n\\nPrivacy-conscious users will appreciate that Push Chat ensures end-to-end encryption for all of its users. Although some traditional platforms like WhatsApp also provide this feature, Push Chat takes it a step further by using cryptography to ensure that messages remain private and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient.\\n\\nWhen a user registers with Push Chat using their wallet, a public-private key pair is generated for them. The private key remains stored in the user\u2019s wallet, while the public key is available for others to encrypt messages intended for that user. When User A sends a message to User B, Push Chat uses User B\u2019s public key to encrypt the message. This ensures that only someone with the corresponding private key (User B) can decrypt and read it.\\n\\nThis encryption is achieved through asymmetric cryptography, a standard cryptographic technique where public keys are used to encrypt data and private keys to decrypt it. This setup makes it difficult for third parties to intercept messages, ensuring only the sender and recipient can read their conversations.\\n\\nIn summary, [Push Chat\u2019s end-to-end encryption](https://push.org/docs/chat/concepts/encryption-version-in-push-chat/#:~:text=Encryption%20in%20Push%20Chat,or%20decrypt%20your%20PGP%20keys) leverages advanced cryptographic standards, entirely decentralized public-key management, and blockchain-based verification to ensure messages remain private, authenticated, and secure across the network.\\n\\n### Enhanced Interactivity with Farcaster Frames Support\\n\\nPush Chat has [integrated Farcaster Frames](https://gov.push.org/t/bringing-frames-interactive-mini-apps-to-push-network/1659). Frames enable developers and other projects to build a mini-web app, which, once shared in a Push Chat, will be embedded as an interactive, rich mini-app that anyone can interact with from within the chat. With this implementation of Frames, developers have the flexibility to do a variety of things, including but not limited to:\\n\\n- **On-Chain Interactions**: Users can perform actions like staking tokens, voting on governance proposals, or claiming rewards, all directly within Push Chat, enhancing ease and accessibility.\\n- **Gamification and Utilities**: Frames can facilitate engaging features, such as community games, NFT rarity checkers, or DAO-specific utilities, all tailored to user contexts for added functionality and fun.\\n- **Integrated Product Use**: Projects can leverage Frames to provide direct access to services like swapping tokens, accessing DeFi tools, or exploring digital collectibles, without users needing to leave the Push Chat environment.\\n- Letting users interact with their contracts, such as performing actions on-chain in any of the supported chains in Push Dapp.\\n- Allowing Frames developers to build gamified, rich apps with user contexts, enabling powerful utilities and actions.\\n- Letting users directly use their products without having to leave the Push Chat client.\\n\\nThis is a significant leap from the static nature of most traditional chats, where content is limited to media and text. With Farcaster Frames, Push Chat allows users to embed interactive experiences, making discussions more vibrant and personalized.\\n\\n### **Enhanced Security Through Decentralized Infrastructure**\\n\\nPush Chat\u2019s architecture is fundamentally decentralized, leveraging blockchain technology to enhance security and privacy. Messages are stored on IPFS, ensuring that data remains accessible yet tamper-proof, without relying on any central server. Traditional messaging platforms often store data on centralized servers, which act as single points of failure and make data more vulnerable to breaches. In contrast, Push Chat\u2019s decentralized infrastructure minimizes these risks, ensuring that data remains secure and user-controlled. Additionally, all messages are validated by decentralized nodes in the Push Network, which verify sender authenticity and ensure the message integrity that centralized platforms can\u2019t match. This decentralized setup gives users control over their data, with each message transaction backed by blockchain-grade security.\\n\\n### **Its Ecosystem Integration Potential**\\n\\nPush Chat is designed with [seamless Web3-based integration](https://push.org/docs/chat/ui-components/) in mind, allowing it to be embedded directly within dApps across various ecosystems, from DeFi and DAOs to NFT platforms through its SDK. This flexibility means that users can access messaging features directly from within their favorite Web3 applications, enhancing usability by keeping interactions within a single interface. Whether coordinating within a DAO, interacting with DeFi protocols, or engaging in NFT communities, Push Chat\u2019s integration potential ensures it can become a core component of any Web3 platform, streamlining communication without disrupting the user experience.\\n\\n### **Hyperscalable Group Chats**\\n\\nGroup chat limitations are a common gripe with platforms like WhatsApp, which caps group sizes at 1024 members. Push Chat, however, is designed to be hyper-scalable, supporting group chats with up to 100,000 members. This scalability makes Push Chat ideal for communities, DAOs, and large organizations seeking decentralized solutions for communication. Whether for coordinating a global project or rallying a large community, Push Chat\u2019s infrastructure can accommodate diverse, large-scale interactions that traditional platforms simply can\u2019t match.\xa0 This scalability is ideal for DAOs conducting large-scale governance discussions, NFT holders participating in exclusive, massive events, or DeFi communities coordinating protocol updates. Push Chat\u2019s infrastructure allows Web3 communities of any size to communicate seamlessly, even as they grow, without the limitations of traditional chat platforms.\\n\\n### **Secure, Instant, Verifiable Payments (Coming Soon)**\\n\\nAs part of its roadmap, Push Chat is on its way to integrating secure, instant, and verifiable payments, allowing users to transact seamlessly within a chat. This feature holds substantial promise, especially in a world where peer-to-peer payments are increasingly popular. While traditional platforms like WeChat offer payments, they rely on centralized processing and limited compatibility with crypto. Push Chat\u2019s future payment functionality will support seamless Web3 payments, giving users a decentralized option for transferring value in real-time.\\n\\nFor example, DAOs could facilitate membership dues or tipping for community contributors directly within the chat, transforming Push Chat into both a communication and transaction hub. Creators, too, could receive direct support through seamless peer-to-peer payments, making Push Chat a versatile tool for engagement and value exchange within Web3 communities.\\n\\n### **Push Chat as a Public, Open-Source Utility**\\n\\nPush Chat\u2019s open-source nature and public infrastructure invite developers to seamlessly integrate secure, on-chain communication into their dApps. By providing unrestricted access to its APIs and SDKs, Push Chat allows any builder to expand its features, empowering a diverse range of Web3 projects\u2014be it governance tools, social apps, or gaming communities. The platform\u2019s decentralized nodes ensure data security and user autonomy, while its modular design makes it easy to combine with other protocols, serving as a foundational \u201cLego block\u201d in Web3\u2019s evolving tech stack. This community-centric approach fosters continuous improvement, creating a resilient, flexible communication layer that grows with the ecosystem.\\n\\n### **Push Chat: The Next Frontier for Communication**\\n\\nPush Chat redefines communication by merging decentralized principles with innovative features that cater to privacy, scalability, and community-driven interactions. Its unique Web3-native approach\u2014prioritizing anonymous access, interactivity, and robust community support\u2014sets it apart from traditional platforms. In a world where user needs are expanding beyond basic messaging, Push Chat not only meets those needs but anticipates and exceeds them, delivering a next-generation communication experience.

Centralized platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have, to date, dominated the landscape. However, they come with significant drawbacks: they control user data, moderate content arbitrarily, and are driven by algorithms that prioritize selective monetization over genuine interaction.\\n\\nDecentralized social media marks a pivotal shift in how we engage in our favorite spaces online. It\'s not just a fleeting trend\u2014it\'s a movement poised to redefine online interactions, ownership, and privacy. By offering an alternative to the status quo, decentralized social media empowers users with unprecedented control over their data, social connections, and digital identities. This article will explore what decentralized social media is, its significance, and how innovative platforms such as Farcaster, Lens Protocol, Cyber, and Push Protocol are spearheading this transformation.\\n\\n## **Verifiable Data Ownership and Better Privacy**\\n\\nA crucial difference between centralized and decentralized social media is their approach to data ownership. On traditional platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or X (formerly Twitter), users relinquish control of their data from the moment they sign up. Every post, comment, like, and share is stored on company-owned servers and used to serve ads or fine-tune engagement algorithms. Users have little to no say in how their data is used, sold, or manipulated.\\n\\nAt its core, decentralized social media empowers users by giving them back control over their data. By utilizing blockchain technology, decentralized social platforms ensure that users retain control over their personal information and interactions. No single entity has the power to censor, delete, or exploit this data without the user\'s consent. This shift from platform-owned to user-owned data is a crucial step toward building a more open, transparent, and privacy-respecting social media landscape. This shift is already underway, as evidenced by the examples we\'ll explore below. \\n\\n## **Composable & Decentralized Social Graphs: Lens Protocol**\\n\\nA key innovation of decentralized social media is the concept of composable social graphs. On traditional platforms, a user\'s social graph (their collection of connections, followers, and interactions) is locked away by the provider. If said user wants to switch to a new platform, they lose access to all of the relationships they\u2019ve built and the content they may have curated or created. On decentralized platforms, your social graph\u2014your relationships, posts, and interactions\u2014can be seamlessly transferred across any app supporting the same protocol.\\n\\nLens Protocol is a prime example of how decentralized social media can empower users to take full ownership of their online identity and social graph. Built on Polygon, Lens offers users composable profiles that can interact with a variety of social dApps supported by its foundational network. No matter what dApp they use to choose, Lens users truly own their social graph as an NFT. This means that it is always possible to move between different dApps (decentralized applications) without having to rebuild their audience or connections. This level of portability is made possible through blockchain technology, fostering a more interoperable and user-friendly decentralized social ecosystem. \\n\\n## **Dynamic Social Engagement: Farcaster Frames**\\n\\nFarcaster via its primary client, Warpcast, illustrates how decentralized social media can be more engaging and empowering for users. They not only allow users to own their social graph and content but also introduce a novel feature called \\"Frames,\u201d which we\u2019re integrating [into the Push Protocol ecosystem](https://gov.push.org/t/bringing-frames-interactive-mini-apps-to-push-network/1659).\\n\\nFrames are interactive, modular spaces within posts (known as \\"Casts\\" on Farcaster via Warpcast) where users can embed dynamic content such as polls, live updates, or even full-scale applications.\\n\\nThe launch of Frames has already enabled entirely new forms of interaction and engagement that go beyond what was possible before. Web-based content goes from its current, fairly static state to the equivalent of an application in and of itself. What about literal instant check-out for orders? Imagine being able to vote on a DAO proposal, stream a podcast, trade crypto or NFTs, and subscribe to a creator or channel\u2014all within the same post. That\u2019s a kind of composability that centralized platforms simply can\u2019t match. By allowing users to organize and showcase the content they find most meaningful, Frames create a more personalized and context-driven experience. Though it\u2019s early, Frames are already a key cog in the machine that represents the future of all social media. \\n\\n## **An Improved, Streamlined User Experience: Cyber**\\n\\nCyber, a Layer 2 solution built on Optimism\'s Superchain and hyper-optimized for web3 social interactions aims to a user experience on par with apps that are already household names on the legacy web. It achieves this by addressing key usability challenges and boosting the scalability and performance of decentralized platforms. \\n\\nTraditional blockchain platforms can also be clunky for users unfamiliar with managing private keys, wallets, and on-chain transactions. Cyber addresses this by incorporating built-in account abstraction and seedless wallets, delivering a frictionless user experience. Account abstraction simplifies wallet management by abstracting the complexities of managing multiple accounts and private keys away from the user. Seedless wallets, on the other hand, eliminate the need for cumbersome recovery phrases. Together, these features allow users to interact with decentralized apps and platforms as easily as they would with centralized services\u2014without compromising security or ownership. \\n\\nAs social interactions become more complex and require faster processing times, Layer 2 solutions like Cyber will become increasingly important for both developers and users. \\n\\n## **Decentralized Cross-Chain Communication: Push**\\n\\nPlatforms like **Push Protocol**, with its **Push Chat** feature, add a layer of utility by offering decentralized messaging systems. Unlike traditional messaging platforms, Push Chat enables encrypted, peer-to-peer communication, where users retain complete control over their conversations. The integration of notifications is another major win\u2014decentralized push notifications ensure users stay updated on critical events, such as governance proposals, NFT drops, or community votes, all without relying on centralized servers.\\n\\nSoon to be [cross-chain](https://www.notion.so/Abstracting-away-Chains-for-a-better-UX-5fc5796918aa47ed8619a72d3bd01af9?pvs=21), Push Chat will allow users to communicate across multiple blockchain networks, making it a powerful tool for decentralized communication and breaking down the silos between separate ecosystems. By enabling cross-chain communication, Push Chat opens up seamless interaction for users in decentralized communities, governance, and beyond.\\n\\nWhether it\'s notifying users of governance proposals, sending updates on decentralized projects, [facilitating hyper-scalable group chats](https://push.org/blog/hyper-scalable-group-chats/), or supporting the future of comms, social, gaming, and generally innovative apps through its grants program, Push is setting a new standard for decentralized communication tools and applications.\\n\\nAs Push Chat and Push Protocol itself continue to evolve, they will become even more important for decentralized social networks, since together, they allow users to communicate seamlessly across different dApps and ecosystems.\xa0 Cross-chain functionality is a game-changer for both social interaction and decentralized governance, as it breaks down the barriers between blockchain networks. Push\u2019s commitment to [enabling Cross-Chain Requests](https://push.org/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip/) demonstrates the team\u2019s commitment to being a forerunner in that respect.\\n\\n## **The Future of Social Media is Coming**\\n\\nDecentralized social media offers a transformative approach to how we interact online, empowering users with ownership of their data, social graphs, and communication channels. Ultimately, decentralized social media is about more than just freedom from centralized control\u2014it\u2019s about creating a fairer, more user-centric web. By embracing decentralized platforms, we can take back control of our online identities and interactions. We will also be able to explore new models of engagement that are transparent, innovative, and built for the benefit of the user, not the platform.\\n\\nThis shift is not just inevitable; it\u2019s necessary.\\n\\nAs we become more aware of the limitations and risks of centralized social networks, the move toward decentralized alternatives will accelerate. More users, developers, and creators will flock to platforms like **Farcaster**, **Lens**, **Cyber**, and **Push Protocol**.

However, most decentralized applications (dApps) lack native notification systems, leaving users in the dark when critical on-chain events occur. This is where push notifications, an on-chain communications primitive developed by Push Protocol, become crucial.\\n\\n## **dApps Lack Native Notifications**\\n\\nMost Web3 applications operate in a decentralized manner. They often don\'t include native push notifications like their Web2 counterparts (aka notifications you would receive from apps like WhatsApp or X). In the case of traditional apps, push notifications keep users updated on essential activities\u2014whether it\'s a message from a friend or a reminder to pay bills. dApps, by contrast, typically require users to manually check their wallets or dashboards for updates, creating a less-than-user-friendly experience.\\n\\nWithout notifications, users can easily miss key events like:\\n\\n- **Price movements of their favorite assets**\\n- **Governance proposal updates in DAOs**\\n- **Liquidation alerts in DeFi platforms**\\n- **The latest publications from their chosen web3 news platform**\\n\\nThis gap is more than a mere inconvenience; it affects user engagement, asset security, and decision-making.\\n\\n## **So Why Do On-Chain Push Notifications Matter?**\\n\\nLet\'s break it down below:\\n\\n### **1. Real-Time Awareness for Time-Sensitive Actions**\\n\\nOn-chain push notifications ensure users never miss important events that require immediate attention. Whether it\'s an impending liquidation in a DeFi protocol or a time-sensitive governance vote in a DAO, notifications can help users act quickly.\\n\\n### **2. Improving UX in Decentralized Applications**\\n\\nPush notifications are an integral part of modern user experience (UX) design. By integrating on-chain notifications, dApps can bring a more familiar and seamless experience to users. This can reduce the friction typically associated with interacting with decentralized applications.\\n\\n### **3. Push is Everywhere, For Every Use Case**\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s notifications are **multi-platform**, meaning users can receive alerts in their wallets, on their smartphones, and inside of other dApps. To date, Push Protocol has deployments on Android, iOS, and wallets like MetaMask and Unstoppable Domains. This flexibility ensures that users stay updated on anything passed through the channels they subscribe to, no matter where they are or which device they\'re using.\\n\\n## **How Can Push Notifications Enhance Your On-Chain Experience?**\\n\\nPush notifications are a huge unlock for both developers of decentralized applications and their users/communities.

Essentially, it acts as an intermediary layer that simplifies cross-chain interactions, enabling seamless communication and functionality across diverse blockchain ecosystems.\\n\\nThe fundamental idea behind Chain Abstraction is to create a unified user experience that abstracts away the differences between various blockchain protocols. \\n\\nThis means that users can perform actions on a dApp without having to switch networks, manage multiple wallets, or understand the technical nuances of each blockchain. By streamlining these interactions, Chain Abstraction aims to make Web3 more accessible and user-friendly, fostering broader adoption and sustained engagement.\\n\\n## Enhancing Web3 dApp UX Through Chain Abstraction\\n\\n\\n### Simplified User Interactions\\n\\nOne of the primary benefits of Chain Abstraction is the simplification of user interactions with dApps. Currently, users often need to switch between different blockchain networks to access various functionalities, which can be cumbersome and deter non-technical users. \\n\\nHere is a quick glance at what the typical web3 user needs to deal with today in this multi-chain web3 ecosystem:\\n\\n- *managing multiple wallets,*\\n- *managing multiple native tokens/assets in their multiple wallets,*\\n- *understanding the nuances of each network,*\\n- *navigating multiple networks to perform simple tasks,*\\n- *interacting with complicated dApp UIs with frequent network switching,*\\n- *navigate through inconsistent user interfaces,*\\n- *relying on the risky route of cross-chain bridging between chains,*\\n- *experiencing difficulty in maintaining a consistent cross-chain identity due to the multi-chain ecosystem,*\\n- *dealing with the lack of standardization between networks, protocols, etc.*\\n- *dealing with the learning curve of understanding different networks, each with its own set of rules, interfaces, and requirements.*\\n\\nRemember that this is just a glance at the UX problem. There are undoubtedly more issues that an experienced web3 user faces daily. The list is even longer when it comes to newbie web3 users.\\n\\nHowever, with Chain Abstraction, most of it gets abstracted away. \\n\\nIn other words, chain abstraction shall allow users to only perform the bare minimum actions and delegate all others to specialized on-chain or off-chain actors. These actors can simply take the user\u2019s intent and themselves figure out the best route, chain, transaction order, etc to fulfill the user\u2019s request.\\n\\nThis means that the user can have a significantly simplified on-chain interaction where most of the multi-chain-specific complicated tasks will be abstracted away from them, thus improving the overall UX for an average Joe.\\n\\n### Unified Wallet Management\\n\\nManaging multiple wallets across different chains is another pain point for users. \\n\\nChain Abstraction addresses this by enabling a single wallet interface that can interact with multiple blockchains. This reduces the cognitive load on users, allowing them to manage their digital assets more efficiently as well as more securely from a single platform.\\n\\n### Seamless Cross-Chain Transactions\\n\\nChain Abstraction facilitates seamless cross-chain transactions, eliminating the need for manual bridging or swapping of assets. This not only enhances the speed and efficiency of transactions but also reduces the risk of errors and the potential security vulnerabilities associated with manual bridging processes.\\n\\n### Enhanced Performance and Scalability\\n\\nChain Abstraction can also contribute to improved performance and scalability of dApps. By leveraging the strengths of multiple blockchains, dApps can optimize transaction speeds and reduce congestion on any single network. \\n\\nThis distributed approach ensures that dApps remain responsive and efficient, even as user demand grows.\\n\\n### Security and Reliability\\n\\nWhile traditional interop or bridging solutions often introduce multiple points of vulnerability. For instance, the reliance on centralized validators or relayers can lead to potential breaches if these entities are compromised. Additionally, bridges typically depend on complex smart contracts and multi-signature schemes, which, if not meticulously audited, become prime targets for attackers. Historical incidents have underscored these risks, with a substantial portion of stolen crypto funds originating from bridge exploits. Most of the [massive crypto hacks](https://medium.com/immunefi/common-cross-chain-bridge-vulnerabilities-d8c161ffaf8f) in the past have occurred through compromised bridges, highlighting the critical need for more secure cross-chain solutions.\\n\\nIn contrast, Chain Abstraction minimizes these risks by shrinking down the attack surface area to a greater extent as it reduces direct user interactions with various chains. Instead of users navigating multiple networks and managing separate security protocols, Chain Abstraction delegates these responsibilities to specialized on-chain actors, such as intent handlers or solvers.\\n\\nThis delegation not only streamlines the user experience but also centralizes security oversight, allowing for more effective and consistent application of security measures. By handling transactions through a unified interface, Chain Abstraction can implement robust security protocols that ensure transactions are validated and processed securely across all supported chains.\\n\\nHowever, it\'s important to recognize that Chain Abstraction introduces new points of security consideration. The addition of abstraction layers and off-chain components, like handlers or solvers, necessitates a reevaluation of the security framework. While these layers reduce the attack surface by limiting direct interactions with multiple chains, they also require their own stringent security measures. Ensuring the integrity and security of these new components is crucial, as any vulnerabilities within the abstraction layer could potentially compromise the entire system.\\n\\n## The Importance of Chain Abstraction for Web3\'s Vision\\n\\n\\nNow that we understand what Chain Abstraction is, let\u2019s quickly go over a few imperative points to understand why it matters.\\n\\n### Streamlining User Onboarding\\n\\nOne of the biggest challenges facing Web3 is the complexity of onboarding new users. \\n\\nChain Abstraction plays a crucial role in addressing this by providing a seamless entry point into the decentralized ecosystem. \\n\\nNew users can interact with dApps without needing to navigate the complexities of different blockchain networks, making the transition from Web2 to Web3 smoother and more intuitive.\\n\\n### Enhancing User Retention\\n\\nA simplified and consistent user experience is key to retaining users in the long term. \\n\\nChain Abstraction ensures that users can effortlessly engage with dApps across various chains, reducing friction and enhancing satisfaction. \\n\\nThis leads to higher retention rates as users are more likely to continue using platforms that offer a seamless and hassle-free experience.\\n\\n### Enabling a Diverse Range of Applications\\n\\nChain Abstraction opens the door to a broader spectrum of applications by enabling interoperability between different blockchains. \\n\\nDevelopers can build innovative dApps that leverage the unique features of multiple chains without being limited by the constraints of a single network. \\n\\nThis fosters a more vibrant and diverse ecosystem, encouraging creativity and innovation in application development.\\n\\n### Facilitating Cross-Chain Collaboration\\n\\nIn a multi-chain world, collaboration between different blockchain projects becomes essential. Chain Abstraction facilitates this by providing the necessary infrastructure for cross-chain communication and interoperability. \\n\\nThis collaborative environment enables projects to share resources, data, and functionalities, driving collective growth and advancement in the Web3 space.\\n\\n### Reducing Fragmentation\\n\\nThe decentralized nature of Web3 often leads to fragmentation, with various blockchains operating in silos. \\n\\nChain Abstraction mitigates this by creating a cohesive ecosystem where different chains can interact seamlessly. This reduces fragmentation, promotes unity, and ensures that the benefits of decentralization are harnessed collectively rather than being diluted across disparate networks.\\n\\n### Accelerating Mainstream Adoption\\n\\nFor Web3 to achieve mainstream adoption, it must offer a user experience that rivals traditional Web2 applications. \\n\\nChain Abstraction is instrumental in bridging this gap by providing a seamless, intuitive, and efficient user experience that meets the expectations of mainstream users. \\n\\nBy removing technical barriers and enhancing usability, Chain Abstraction paves the way for Web3 to become a ubiquitous part of everyday life.\\n\\n## CCR: Push Protocol\u2019s Crucial Move towards Enhancing UX\\n\\n\\nAt Push Protocol, we have consistently focused on enhancing the user experience, not only for Push\u2019s own community but also for the entire Web3 ecosystem.\\n\\nSince the launch of our dApp, we have prioritized a [UX-driven](https://push.org/blog/the-rise-of-chains-and-fall-of-ux-in-web3-ux/) and security-first strategy. \\n\\nWhether we\u2019re refining the visual interface, optimizing our smart contracts, or implementing gasless opt-ins for seamless dApp interactions, we remain dedicated to these principles across all facets of our platform.\\n\\nHowever, improving UX in web3 involves far more than just building intuitive user interfaces for our applications. \\n\\nIn a multi-chain ecosystem, users have to deal with a lot more complexities, as previously mentioned in this article.\\n\\nSince Push Protocol supports more than one EVM chain (*and soon will support non-evm chains),* our dApp\u2019s UX needs to be improved accordingly.\\n\\nThere is a need for us to ensure we abstract away all the multi-chain complexity for our users and provide a single unified interface for them to use.\\n\\nAnd, we do this with the [**Cross Chain Request Feature.**](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794) \\n\\n### What is Cross Chain Requests (CCR)?\\n\\n**Cross Chain Requests (CCR)** is a feature recently proposed in [Push Protocol\u2019s Pre-PIP 3 governance proposal](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794). It aims to implement Cross Chain Requests within Push Protocol\u2019s smart contracts, namely PushCore and PushComm. \\n\\nThe CCR feature allows users to interact with the PushCore smart contract deployed on the Ethereum chain from any EVM or Non-EVM chain without the need to switch networks. Thus, providing an abstracted experience.\\n\\n### How CCR Enhances dApp UX\\n\\n**Seamless Network Interactions**\\n\\nWith CCR, users can perform essential actions such as [channel creation](https://app.push.org/channel/create), incentivized chat requests, and other arbitrary requests directly from their preferred blockchain. This eliminates the need to switch to Ethereum to interact with PushCore, thereby streamlining the user experience and reducing friction.\\n\\n**Multi-Chain Compatibility**\\n\\nCCR shall leverage [Wormhole\u2019s Native Token Transfer (NTT) architecture](https://github.com/wormhole-foundation/example-native-token-transfers) and Relayers to enable secure cross-chain message and token bridging. \\n\\nThis allows PushComm contracts deployed on various chains to relay requests to PushCore on Ethereum securely. \\n\\nUsers can initiate actions from their native chains, enhancing the flexibility and convenience of interacting with Push Protocol.\\n\\nBy enabling seamless interactions from any chain, Push Protocol can attract users from various blockchain ecosystems. This broadens the platform\u2019s user base, fostering a more interconnected and diverse community that benefits from enhanced interoperability.\\n\\n**Simplified Channel Creation**\\n\\nFor instance, a user like Bob, who operates on Polygon, can create a channel on PushCore without leaving Polygon. By using PushComm\u2019s *createChannel()* function, Bob can submit channel details and approve necessary tokens directly from Polygon. CCR ensures that the request is securely relayed to PushCore on Ethereum, where the channel is created without Bob needing to navigate complex cross-chain processes.\\n\\n### Technical Improvements Through CCR\\n\\n### Unified Contract Interactions\\n\\nCCR centralizes the interaction logic within PushComm contracts deployed on multiple chains, enabling them to handle cross-chain requests effectively. This reduces the architectural complexity and ensures that PushCore remains secure and efficient without needing multiple deployments across different chains.\\n\\n### Enhanced Security\\n\\nBy utilizing Wormhole\u2019s NTT framework and Relayers, CCR ensures that cross-chain messages and token transfers are conducted securely. \\n\\nThis minimizes the risk of vulnerabilities and enhances the overall reliability of cross-chain interactions, fostering greater user trust in Push Protocol\u2019s solutions.\\n\\n### Scalability and Efficiency\\n\\nCCR allows Push Protocol to scale its operations across multiple chains without being limited by the constraints of a single blockchain. \\n\\nThis scalability ensures that Push Protocol can accommodate a growing user base and diverse application needs, driving sustained growth and adoption.\\n\\n## Chain Abstraction: Where We\'re Headed\\n\\n\\n**Chain Abstraction** stands as a transformative force in the Web3 ecosystem, promising to elevate dApp UX to unprecedented levels of seamlessness and accessibility. \\n\\nChain Abstraction is not just a technical enhancement. It\u2019s also a fundamental shift toward making decentralized applications more user-friendly and widely accessible. By abstracting away the complexities of multiple chains, Chain Abstraction empowers users and developers alike, fostering a more robust and inclusive Web3 ecosystem. Push Protocol, through its CCR feature, is at the forefront of this movement, championing a future where dApp interactions are as seamless and intuitive as those in the traditional web2 world.\\n\\nAs the Web3 landscape continues to evolve, the importance of Chain Abstraction will only grow. By focusing on user experience and interoperability, Chain Abstraction can drive the next wave of innovation and adoption in decentralized applications. [Push Protocol\u2019s CCR feature](https://push.org/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip/) is a testament to this potential, demonstrating how thoughtful design and strategic implementation can create a more accessible and engaging Web3 environment."},{"id":"monthly-recap-september-2024","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/monthly-recap-september-2024","source":"@site/blog/2024-10-16-monthly-updates-september/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - September","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - September","date":"2024-10-16T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"October 16, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Updates","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/updates"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Community & Ecosystem","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/community-ecosystem"}],"readingTime":4.173333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"monthly-recap-september-2024","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - September","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates - September","text":"Discover Push\'s incredible September growth, including over 9 million notifications sent and other key milestones!","tags":["Updates","Announcements","Community & Ecosystem"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Abstracting Away Chains For a Better DApp UX","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/abstracting-chains-for-better-dapp-ux"},"nextItem":{"title":"Token-Gated Group Chats","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/token-gated-group-chats"}},"content":"![Cover image of Case Study - Moving across an open web with Push](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nSeptember was a milestone month for Push Protocol, with remarkable strides across development, integrations, UI enhancements, DAO initiatives, and broader community growth.

To put it even more simply, users must hold a certain token or NFT in their wallet to be granted entry to these exclusive group chats. This concept leverages the power of the different [ERC token](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/) standard technologies, offering decentralized and permissionless access control to on-chain communities.\\n\\nThese gated communities are becoming an increasingly popular option across all sorts of web3 groups, including DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations), NFT collector groups, and on-chain role holders. By tokenizing access, these chats provide a powerful tool for enhancing privacy, fostering trust, and building a strong sense of belonging.\\n\\n### **How Do Token-Gated Group Chats Work?**\\n\\nFirst, token-gated chats depend on the accurate verification of the assets in a user\u2019s blockchain wallet. In the case of Push\u2019s gated chats, Push Protocol authenticates a user\'s wallet holdings to ensure they possess the required token or NFT to join the chat. The authentication is automatic, eliminating the need for traditional usernames, passwords, or email sign-ups. This process is seamless, privacy-focused, and ensures that only eligible users gain access to the chat or chats involved.\\n\\nAll of it is done in a matter of minutes.\\n\\nOnce authenticated, users can join discussions, receive exclusive content, participate in community governance, and more\u2014making these group chats integral to any on-chain community.\\n\\n### **Why Do We Need Token-Gated Group Chats?**\\n\\nThe need for token-gated group chats stems from the growing demand for decentralized, transparent, and secure community management tools and workstreams in the web3 space.\\n\\nBelow, we\u2019ve compiled several examples of current and future use cases:\\n\\n**1. Exclusive Access for DAOs:**\\n\\nFor DAOs, token-gated group chats offer a mechanism to ensure that only voting members or contributors with skin in the game can participate in decision-making discussions. By using governance tokens as the entry key, DAOs can securely manage spaces where they want only a certain threshold of token holders to participate and share opinions.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Having tokenized group chata strengthens governance processes by ensuring that only active, vested members are involved in the DAO\'s core operations, reducing noise and improving engagement quality.\\n- **Use Case**: DAOs like MakerDAO or Uniswap could create token-gated group chats for core governance contributors or voting members, creating secure spaces for key discussions.\\n\\n**2. Community Building for NFT Collectors:**\\n\\nNFT projects are built on the idea of exclusive ownership, and token-gated chats are a natural extension of this exclusivity. By allowing only verified NFT holders into private chat rooms, project creators can cultivate tight-knit communities that feel valued, special, and more closely connected to artists, founders, or whoever else the holders bought the NFT to support.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: NFT owners get a space where they can engage directly with creators and fellow collectors, access exclusive content, and receive early updates or airdrops.\\n- **Use Case**: A popular NFT collection like Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) might use a token-gated chat to offer holders access to exclusive discussions about future projects, merchandise drops, or events.\\n\\n**3. Enhanced Security and Privacy:**\\n\\nToken-gated group chats inherently provide a higher level of privacy and security compared to traditional centralized platforms. By using cryptographic wallets as authentication, users no longer need to rely on third-party platforms that store personal data. This aligns with the ethos of decentralization and significantly reduces the risks of hacking or data breaches.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: No usernames or passwords or any storage of any sort of personal documents is required and there is no risk of sensitive personal information being leaked.\\n- **Use Case**: Communities concerned with privacy, like those focused on anonymous or pseudonymous interactions, can use token-gated chats to ensure secure and private communication.\\n\\n**4. Direct Monetization of Communities:**\\n\\nFor content creators and influencers, token-gated chats provide a unique opportunity to monetize access to their communities. By selling tokens or NFTs that grant access to their private group chats, they can create an additional revenue stream while giving fans and followers a sense of exclusivity.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Fans get special access to behind-the-scenes content, exclusive Q&As, or direct interactions with their favorite creators, while creators benefit from new revenue models.\\n- **Use Case**: A crypto influencer might create a token-gated chat for subscribers who hold a specific NFT, offering them VIP content and advice.\\n\\n### **How Hats Protocol Enhances Token-Gated Group Chats**\\n\\nFor DAOs using **Hats Protocol**, the integration of token-gated group chats can significantly streamline their communication processes. Hats Protocol enables the decentralized management of roles and permissions within a DAO, allowing members to be assigned \\"hats\\" based on their roles. These hats can also serve as access tokens for group chats, ensuring that only members with the relevant responsibilities can participate in specific discussions.\\n\\nHere\u2019s how DAOs that use Hats Protocol can benefit from token-gated group chats:\\n\\n**1. Role-Based Chat Access:**\\n\\nHats Protocol allows DAOs to assign roles on-chain, ensuring that only those members who wear specific hats (such as \\"Treasury Manager\\" or \\"Governance Lead\\") have access to relevant group chats. This integration ensures that discussions stay focused and are only open to those with the proper permissions.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Only relevant DAO members can join key discussions, preventing unqualified members from cluttering important communication channels.\\n\\n**2. Dynamic Access Control:**\\n\\nAs roles (or hats) within a DAO evolve, access to token-gated chats can dynamically adjust. When someone is promoted, or steps down from a role, their access to group chats is automatically updated, ensuring up-to-date permissions.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Access to crucial communication channels remains in sync with the current organizational structure without manual updates.\\n\\n**3. Increased Security and Confidentiality:**\\n\\nDAOs can maintain security and confidentiality by ensuring that sensitive topics, such as treasury or governance discussions, are restricted to verified role-holders. Hats Protocol makes it easy to manage and track who holds each hat, ensuring secure communication.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Only authorized members access sensitive information, reducing the likelihood of leaks or mismanagement.\\n\\n**4. Streamlined Team Coordination:**\\n\\nLarge DAOs can have multiple teams managing different parts of the organization. Hats Protocol ensures that team members with the relevant roles can communicate within private, token-gated group chats, enhancing collaboration across decentralized teams.\\n\\n- **Benefits**: Teams can focus on their responsibilities, while DAO leaders can rest assured that only the right people can access certain discussions.\\n\\n### **The Future of Token-Gated Group Chats**\\n\\nToken-gated chats are just one example of how Push Protocol is transforming the way we interact online. As the demand for decentralized governance, privacy, and exclusivity grows, token-gated communities will become a staple in the web3 ecosystem.\\n\\nFor DAOs, NFT collectors, on-chain role holders, and content creators alike, token-gated chats provide the tools needed to foster loyalty, increase engagement, and ensure that only the right people are involved in key discussions.\\n\\nToken-gated group chats are unlocking a future where participation is open and earned, making the web3 ecosystem more exclusive, secure, and rewarding.\\n\\n**Earn points for Gated Group Chats**\\n\\nWith the [Push Points Program](https://push.org/blog/introducing-the-push-points-program/) in full swing, we have added an extra incentive to new users looking to explore the Token Gated Groups.

This combination is designed to facilitate the development of advanced next-generation DApps. With it, decentralized applications should be easier, faster, and more scalable than ever before. \\n\\nCartesi overcomes the constraints of traditional blockchains by providing developers with a complete Linux operating system and scalable rollups, tailored for real-world applications. This opens up exciting new possibilities for DApps in gaming, DeFi, and other cutting-edge industries, unlocking the future of innovation.\\n\\nCartesi-built projects have consistently excelled in [ETHGlobal](https://ethglobal.com/) hackathons with innovative projects like [Cartenix](https://ethglobal.com/showcase/cartenix-7xxe6), [Doom Arena](https://ethglobal.com/showcase/doom-arena-hmu4j), and [ChainGPT](https://ethglobal.com/showcase/chaingpt-and-accountability-for-ai-agents-doquk) gaining considerable traction. These projects not only showcase their commitment to decentralized computation but also highlight Cartesi\u2019s unique ability to unlock new possibilities for scalable, high-performance DApps across various real-world use cases. Other Cartesi Mainnet DApps like [Rives](https://rives.io/) and [Bug Buster](https://bugbuster.app/) also showed new unforeseen possibilities.\\n\\n### How Developers can Integrate Cartesi and Push Protocol:\\n\\nDeveloper advocacy contributors at Cartesi have demonstrated how developers can integrate push notifications into their Cartesi dApps, enabling users to receive updates related to their activities within the Cartesi rollups environment. Developers can deliver finalized on-chain messages or simple in-app notifications that users care about.\\n\\nThis integration enhances the interactivity of Cartesi DApps, so users can receive timely updates\u2014whether for verified outputs or simple messages\u2014without monitoring epoch finalization.\\n\\nThis is particularly useful when managing on-chain assets, where users need to execute a voucher once an epoch is finalized. Vouchers serve as transaction instruments on the base layer blockchain, facilitating operations like asset transfers. They enable modifications to the base layer by reflecting the application\'s state changes. Read [here](https://docs.cartesi.io/cartesi-rollups/1.5/development/retrieve-outputs/#vouchers-on-chain-actions) to learn more about vouchers. With notifications powered by Push, Cartesi users can also stay informed about unexecuted vouchers, ensuring they don\'t miss critical updates, like withdrawing assets.\\n\\n### **Technical Deep Dive: The Cartesi Push Notification Server**\\n\\nThe [Cartesi Push Notification Server](https://github.com/Mugen-Builders/push-cartesi/) is a crucial tool that enhances the user experience of Cartesi DApps by providing real-time push notifications. This service is powered by a simple cron job that allows Cartesi DApp creators to notify users of important events, such as those mentioned above, verified outputs, or the availability of vouchers for asset withdrawal, without requiring users to monitor blockchain events like epoch finalization manually.\\n\\n**Addressing the On-Chain Asset Challenge:**\\nOne key challenge in decentralized applications involving on-chain assets is the need for users to execute a voucher after an epoch has been finalized. Without notifications, users may miss the execution of vouchers, potentially delaying their withdrawal of assets. The Cartesi Push Notification Server directly solves this problem by alerting users when important events\u2014such as unexecuted vouchers\u2014occur, ensuring they remain informed and can act promptly in response to them.\\n\\n**How It Works: Push Notifications for Cartesi DApps:**\\n\\nThe Push Cartesi Notification server operates through a cron job that regularly queries the Graphql server of the Cartesi dApp node to check for new or verified outputs. Here\u2019s how developers can implement it:\\n\\n1. **Push Notification Architecture:** \\nThe Push Cartesi Notification Server leverages a cron job that filters for [notices](https://docs.cartesi.io/cartesi-rollups/1.5/development/retrieve-outputs/#notices-off-chain-events) and verified proofs, sending timely notifications to users about these critical outputs. However, vouchers are intentionally excluded from the cron job, as they are deleted after execution. Instead, the system focuses on notifying users when a proof is available\u2014triggering them to take action, such as executing a voucher.\\n\\nHere\u2019s the architecture of how the Push Cartesi Notification Server works:\\n\\n![Push Cartesi Notification Server](cover-image1.webp)\\n\\n2. **Creating a Push Notification Channel:**\\nTo start, developers must set up a Push notification channel using [Push Protocol\u2019s official guide](https://push.org/docs/notifications/tutorials/create-your-channel/). The rest of the setup process is explained below. \\n\\n3. **Efficient Notification Management Using Notices:**\\nDevelopers can include a \\"notice\\" alongside vouchers to ensure users are properly informed about important, on-chain events. For example, when an NFT is minted, a notice can be generated to notify the user of this event, while the voucher handles the asset\u2019s actual minting process. A notice is a verifiable data statement that confirms off-chain events or conditions, supported by accompanying proof.\\n\\n4. **Two Types of Notifications: Instant vs. Proofed:**\\nDevelopers have control over when notifications are sent to users through two types of notices:\\n- Instant Notifications: These notifications are sent immediately after a notice is created, allowing users to get real-time updates.\\n- Proofed Notifications: These notifications are sent only when a proof is available, i.e., when the epoch finalizes, ensuring that users are alerted once the output is verified and actionable.\\n\\n5. **Streamlined Asset Withdrawals:**\\nThe Push/Cartesi notification system is particularly valuable in managing on-chain assets. When users need to withdraw assets, they are alerted when a voucher is ready for execution. By receiving these timely notifications, users can act quickly, avoiding delays or missed withdrawals.\\n\\n### Setting up Notifications for Cartesi DApps:\\n\\nDisclaimer: *This integration is currently in its alpha stage and relies on certain trust assumptions regarding the Notifications server. Developers are encouraged to use this as an experimental step for integrating push notifications but should not consider it a final, mainnet-ready solution.*\\n\\nFirst, make sure you have created a channel for Push. Once you\u2019ve done so, continue with the below steps to build and run the Notifications server with a sample Cartesi dApp on your local machine.:\\n\\n**Replace addresses in the code for the cron-job as follows:**\\n\\nInside notification.sender.js change the address to the address of your channel\\n\\n```\\npushChannelAdress = \\"0x41070EfeD9Ead91380AAE5e164DAC1001F64C991\\";\\n```\\n\\nInside graphql/config.js, update the endpoint with the graphql route of your node.\\n\\n```\\nendpoint: \'http://localhost:8080/graphql\'\\n```\\n\\n**Add private key**\\n\\nDisclaimer: *This is just for test purposes. Do not try this with any real private key.*\\n\\nStart the process by creating a .env file from the given sample and filling it with the private key of the channel creator or delegated messenger. \\n\\n`cp .env.sample .env`\\n\\nNow you can start testing and launching the sending function for notifications!\\n\\n### Sending Notifications for Cartesi DApps:\\n\\nFrom inside your cron-job folder, use the following input:\\n\\n```\\nnpm start\\n```\\n\\nThen, you can start the simple-node DApp inside its directory with the below command:\\n\\n```\\ncartesi build\\n```\\n\\nTo fully initiate testing, follow the above up with the below:\\n\\n```\\ncartesi run\\n```\\n\\n**Send test inputs**\\n\\nOn another terminal window, type:\\n\\n```\\ncartesi send generic\\n```\\n\\nThen, send a string encoding as follows:\\n\\n```\\n{\u201ctype\u201d:\u201dinstant\u201d,\u201dmessage\u201d:\u201dsample message\u201d,\u201dtarget\u201d:\u201d*\u201d}\\n```\\n\\nThe field marked \u201ctype\u201d can be filled with one of two values either \u2018instant\u2019 or \u2018proof\u2019\\n\\nThe target field for the destination of the message can be a wallet address or * for broadcasts to everyone who subscribes to the channel.\\n\\nOnce you are ready to deploy you can generate a container with the Dockerfile inside the cron-job folder and deploy it to [fly.io](https://fly.io/docs/launch/deploy/)\\n\\n[Here\u2019s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO-xhHT85Bk) a demo video showing the ins and outs of how Cartesi DApps can integrate Push Notifications using [Cartesi Push Notification Server](https://github.com/Mugen-Builders/push-cartesi/blob/main/README.md).\\n\\nThis integration is being tested out with [Comet](https://x.com/Comet_ing/status/1837041254166589535) - a Cartesi DApp.\\n\\nGot any questions?

Ethereum did the same for applications of all shapes and sizes. DeFi extended these principles, demonstrating a wide array of large-scale use cases for institutions and traders alike.\\n\\nNow, as an industry, we\u2019re on the precipice of our next major tipping point.\\n\\nConsumer crypto.\\n\\nIt has exploded onto the scene over the past year and continues to dominate web3\'s zeitgeist. Conferences, podcasts, thought leaders, investors, and builders are all doubling down on its themes.\\n\\nMajor investors are prioritizing consumer crypto projects, particularly in social protocols, apps, and games, highlighting the industry\'s evolving focus and future direction.\\n\\nToday, consumer crypto resembles the early days of online businesses during the dot-com boom. While many consumer-focused protocols and apps may be short-lived, a select few are poised to stand the test of time.\\n\\nCurrently, we\'re in the nascent stages of this boom.\\n\\nOver the last 5 ETH Global hackathons, 80% of builders building with Push Protocol have chosen to ship projects focused on the consumer crypto niche. This is a major shift from 4 years ago when the same could be said for NFT marketplaces.\\n\\nHowever, when you search \u201cconsumer crypto,\u201d you get a wide variety of answers as to what it is, why it matters, and where it\u2019s going.\\n\\nThere\u2019s never been a better time than now to sift through the viewpoints and fully grok it.\\n\\nIn this post, we aim to:\\n\\n***\u2022 Establish a clear definition of consumer crypto***\\n\\n***\u2022 Explore the key reasons for its importance***\\n\\n***\u2022 Comment on its future trajectory***\\n\\n# Defining consumer crypto\\n\\nIndustry professionals are thoroughly split on exactly how to define consumer crypto. Some suggest it all comes back to NFTs and their related token standards. Others say everything in the industry is moving towards consumer scale and has always been meant to go that route. \\n\\nOthers term it the movement focused on web3 apps that are purpose-built for everyday use by billions of people. While this is closer to the point, it doesn\u2019t quite hit the nail on the head either. \\n\\nConsumer crypto isn\u2019t solely about web3 apps becoming household names. \\n\\nIt also refers to every layer of the stack being hyper-focused on providing novel experiences powered by the blockchain, smart contracts, tokenization, and everything in between. Zooming in, it could then be said that consumer crypto is the niche of the greater crypto industry that\u2019s focused on building the future of all apps and services, powered by blockchain tech. \\n\\nHowever, that\u2019s still not quite it. \\n\\nThere\u2019s something more that needs to be included because to scale all things crypto or more accurately, all things web3, to the masses, we need improvements to every level of the industry\u2019s aggregated UX.\\n\\nHowever, this concept needs to be simplified for the average person to grasp it. To establish a universal definition for consumer crypto, it\'s important to first identify and address what isn\u2019t working.\\n\\nMost consumers object to using crypto or anything related because they don\u2019t see the need to switch to it. They return to the option they already trust and continue interacting within its walls. \\n\\nThis measure of how often users keep coming back to an app is called \u201cstickiness,\u201d and it\u2019s something that web3 apps have yet to achieve on any comparable level to web2\u2019s household names. \\n\\nThink about why Slack is sticky, even for Web3 teams. \\n\\nOnce you pass a certain threshold of all-time messages sent, it becomes the standard for communication in your workplace. It doesn\u2019t matter, in most cases, how many alternatives pop up. Your historical conversations and all the documents you\u2019ve ever shared are stored in your team\u2019s Slack.\\n\\nWhat about Google Meet?\\n\\nIt\u2019s a sticky progressive web app because it seamlessly integrates with your calendar and it just works. You can schedule a meeting in four clicks, counting inputting participating emails, and you don\u2019t even have to have a Gmail to join one you\u2019re invited to. \\n\\nPeople keep coming back because, above all else, it\u2019s intuitive to use and it doesn\u2019t lock anyone out. \\n\\nConsumer crypto, as a whole, is a vision to build out sticky apps that scale far beyond the web3 niche. All in all, the key goal is for them to be just as intuitive to use as their legacy counterparts and more attractive due to the new, on-chain-enabled features they champion.\\n\\nTo narrow down what this means, let\'s consider the rise of DeFi. \\n\\nSince 2020, the success of protocols like Aave, Uniswap, and Maker has demonstrated, in practice, the power of transacting with minimal fees, globally, and without intermediaries. Truthfully, the term DeFi, stretches far beyond these protocols and their counterparts to all of crypto that deals in financial use cases. Even Bitcoin, for example, may be considered \u201cDeFi,\u201d when it is used to store value, or simply, to do business. \\n\\nAs institutions like Blackrock continue to buy in, that\u2019s only becoming clearer by the day. \\n\\nWhile both DeFi and consumer crypto are niches within the same industry, they have considerably different target markets. DeFi aims to provide the future financial system, piece by piece, to institutions, traders, and individuals. \\n\\nConsumer Crypto is the vision of developing intuitive, sticky, and user-governed applications that leverage blockchain technology to deliver seamless, chain-abstracted experiences. These applications extend beyond financial services, enabling any user to engage with a diverse range of web3 applications for various purposes, fostering widespread adoption, and enhancing everyday digital interactions.\\n\\nBelow, we dig into why that needs to be done, and how we, as builders, can do it. \\n\\n# Why does consumer crypto matter?\\n\\nThe top hurdle for web3, as a whole, continues to be how inaccessible it is to the average person. To change that, we need to commit to radically improving how we onboard new users to our apps, how we seek to retain them, and what use cases we\u2019re building for as well as supporting, through grants programs, hackathons, and otherwise. \\n\\nOnce we achieve this, it will become clear why consumer crypto is essential and why it represents the next paradigm shift for all consumer apps.\\n\\n**Seamless Onboarding**\\n\\nFrom approval signatures to bridging, to holding multiple tokens just for gas fees on different networks, to managing multiple wallets, [and beyond](https://push.org/blog/the-rise-of-chains-and-fall-of-ux-in-web3-ux/), web3 apps are rife with complexity. Changing the status quo requires unifying the user experience regardless of all these intricacies. \\n\\nA commitment to learning from web2\u2019s successes and failures is a good start. \\n\\nChain abstraction across the board, [as we describe in a past post here](https://push.org/blog/the-rise-of-chains-and-fall-of-ux-in-web3-ux/), takes us further. \\n\\nSpinning up an account on a web3 app must be as easy if not easier than doing so on something like Facebook. Simplicity needs to reign across the board in our approach to UX and we need to commit to benchmarking to leading legacy apps that are household names to ensure this happens. Moreover, putting all of the innovations that make this industry great on the back end does not mean hiding them. \\n\\nUntil all of this is achieved, onboarding will continue to be a major barrier to widespread adoption and the advent of an age in which on-chain apps supplant off-chain apps. \\n\\n**Long-Term Retention**\\n\\nRaising retention is a multi-sided problem. To retain users over the long-term, we must ensure better and seamless UX.\\n\\nWith web2\u2019s common approaches to it and the unique features that web3 has in mind, it becomes easier to solve. \\n\\nThink about the apps you have on your phone. What reminds you to check them? Push notifications. There\u2019s a reason we still need them, even in this space. When done right, they\u2019re one of the most effective methods that apps employ to retain users. \\n\\nWhen your phone\u2019s locked and you receive a push notification saying that you got a new message from a friend on an app, you check that app. It\u2019s a reflex, in most cases. The same principle applies to web3. If you\u2019re a trader and you get a push notification in your wallet that says the asset you\u2019re tracking has reached the price you\u2019re looking for, you\u2019ll head to your account and trade that asset. Delegates for a DAO who receive the same sort of notification that a vote has begun will head to Snapshot or wherever that vote is being held to participate. The same goes for fans of a particular NFT artist who receive a ping that a new drop is live or fans of a podcaster who see that a new episode is live. \\n\\nPush notifications are still key to keeping people engaged, even on-chain. \\n\\nBeyond push notifications, numerous other methods for enhancing user retention exist, both predating web3 and emerging from it. The initial rise of NFTs has already shown the power of royalties, guaranteed in perpetuity, by smart contracts. Most legacy marketplaces and social media platforms offer only negligible profit-sharing, if any. \\n\\nIt\u2019s the call for change we\u2019ve seen since the earliest days of social media. Give us apps that prioritize the users, including creators, first, above all else. \\n\\nAdd in DAOs as well as the lego-like composability that smart contract-based applications have and you\u2019re starting to get the picture as to how consumer crypto can do that. At present, both creators and general users lack meaningful upside in the apps they use daily. Any significant gains\u2014monetary or otherwise\u2014are subject to the whims of centralized entities. \\n\\nUser-led apps flip the status quo on its head, for the better. \\n\\nIf something isn\u2019t working, it can be changed via a vote. Apps evolve based directly on what their communities want to see and any advertising that is done is opt-in. \\n\\nAny revenue that\u2019s generated goes both to the app itself, to keep the lights on and keep it scaling, and to its community, with the latter receiving the lion\u2019s share. \\n\\nToken-based incentives such as higher statuses and higher rewards based on longevity and participation further increase retention even further. \\n\\n**Diversification of Use Cases** \\n\\nHowever, none of the above matters if we, as an industry, can\'t demonstrate a stronger commitment to a broader range of use cases for our apps. Currently, the majority of existing web3 apps are DeFi-focused.\\n\\nConsumer crypto aims to change that by providing intuitive, fun, sticky apps that rival those that are today\u2019s leaders in the social media, gaming, and marketplace niches. Chain abstraction, [cross-chain requests](https://push.org/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip/), and [related solutions](https://push.org/blog/the-rise-of-chains-and-fall-of-ux-in-web3-ux/) are making it easier than ever for that to happen. \\n\\nAs previously mentioned, through recent hackathons, we\u2019re already able to see consumer apps leading the charge.\\n\\nConsumer crypto matters because it\u2019s the movement through which web3 expands its boundaries to the next billion users. \\n\\nIt\u2019s the only way that we finally cross the chasm to being the standard-bearers for all online interaction instead of a tech-heavy alternative. \\n\\nOnce everyone in our industry shows commitment to that in practice, consumer crypto will become the dominant driving force for the industry\u2019s move to expand crypto beyond finance and achieve widespread adoption. \\n\\n# What\u2019s the future of consumer crypto?\\n\\nSince Bitcoin\'s inception, we\'ve advocated for a financial system and a world that levels the playing field more than ever before. Our apps need to strike a balance\u2014easy to use, yet demonstrating these principles in action. We need more engaging, participatory, on-chain economies, of all shapes and sizes, embedded within enjoyable user interfaces. \\n\\nThis doesn\u2019t require reinventing the wheel. Our next break-out moment may come from a team saying, *\u201cHow can we make a better Instagram with features and functionalities unique to this industry?\u201d*\\n\\nThat app would likely also be DAOified because you can\u2019t have consumer crypto without governance by the people, for the people. Decentralized Governance, as an overarching model for our future social apps, aligns perfectly with the broader vision of consumer crypto, as it ensures apps evolve in a more participatory fashion than ever before. Web3-app users can have a direct say in how the app they\u2019re using evolves as well as how it approaches key questions like compensation for creators, which is technically not possible in traditional web3 apps, where all control lies in the hands of the few. \\n\\nConsumer crypto is the next **Schelling** point for our industry. \\n\\nIt\'s the driving force propelling us toward a future where web3 becomes the standard for all global consumers\' online interactions. To travel further down that road, let\u2019s start by building things on-chain that people beyond our sphere, legitimately want to use. Let\u2019s also commit to making crypto easier to use than ever. \\n\\nWith that, we might reach an age in which a web3 app is just an app and a protocol is just a structure behind it. \\n\\nAn age of seamless interaction, on-chain, where users no longer have to bother about the underlying chain behind their favorite applications.\\n\\nHere at Push, we\u2019re all aligned and focused on this vision. \\n\\nIf you\'re building in consumer crypto, then we\'re here to support you every step of the way.

What began as a general-purpose blockchain has evolved into a global, decentralized World Computer, unlocking a wave of technological innovations through the power of cryptography and decentralization.\\n\\nFast forward to today, the landscape has dramatically shifted. \\n\\nWe have over [30 Layer 2 solutions](https://dune.com/21co/layer-2-summary), numerous rollups and now even Layer 3s. With such an explosion of chains what we now have is a fragmented ecosystem where user experience is compromised, liquidity is spread thin across multiple platforms, security of assets is a major concern, and building applications in the multi-chain world is getting increasingly difficult.\\n\\n*But how did we get here?*\\n\\nThis article is designed to give a complete picture of the following:\\n\\n- *How web3 ended up with so many chains,*\\n- *How this has adversely affected the entire ecosystem,*\\n- *And, what we can do to build better web3 apps in this multi-chain world*\\n\\nLet\u2019s get started.\\n\\n### The Rise of Chains\\n\\nSince the advent of layer 1 chains, scalability and high fee (gas) requirements have been a major concern. For chains like Ethereum specifically, as the number of applications grew, so did the network\u2019s congestion and the overall cost for users.\\n\\nA significant step to resolve these issues was taken on October 02, 2020, when Vitalik introduced the [*Rollup-Centric Ethereum Roadmap*](https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/a-rollup-centric-ethereum-roadmap/4698). This meant Ethereum moved towards rollups as its scaling strategy because **bundling multiple transactions** **into batches** significantly increased ***transaction throughput*** and ***reduced transaction costs.***\\n\\nThis solved Ethereum\'s scalability issue effectively as it reduced the load on the Layer 1 chain and provided cheaper transaction fees. However, we soon realized that the rollup-centric roadmap had led to the development of plethora of new L2s, Rollup solutions, and even L3s. This expansion has enabled greater scalability and reduced transaction costs, which are essential for the growth of decentralized applications (dApps). \\n\\nAdditionally, the web3 ecosystem soon realized the need for designing chains that are specifically optimized for single applications, i.e. app-specific chains. Technically, this seemed necessary to ensure that these applications could achieve optimal performance, security, and user experience tailored to their unique requirements without being affected by the general-purpose network congestion and fees of more generic Layer 1 or Layer 2 solutions.\\n\\nWhile app-specific chains achieved the desired outcome by optimizing for their specific needs, this again led to the creation of multiple new chains. L3s as applications like dYdX, Hyperliquid, or Frax became standalone app chains or rollups of their own.\\n\\nThis inception of new rollups, app chains, L2, and L3s undoubtedly resolved quite a few key issues of the ecosystem like *scalability, block space, network usage fees*, etc. However, it also led to another significant concern for web3 users and devs.\\n\\nA deep dive into this topic will lead us to many concerns that arise with the significant proliferation of chains such as f*ragmentation of liquidity across chains, inadequate incentive management, broken user experience, difficulties for developers, security risks, etc.* \\n\\nHowever, in this article, we will primarily focus on the ones that affect either the existing users or the newcomers.\\n\\n### The Fall of Web3 UX\\n\\nAs the number of chains has multiplied, so have the challenges, particularly in terms of user experience (UX). With the rise of these new chains, the overall UX of web3 has become increasingly complex for the average user to navigate. \\n\\nHere is a quick glance at what a typical web3 user needs to deal with in this multi-chain universe:\\n\\n- *managing multiple wallets,*\\n- *managing multiple native tokens/assets in their multiple wallets,*\\n- *understanding the nuances of each network,*\\n- *navigating multiple networks to perform simple tasks,*\\n- *interacting with complicated dapp UIs with frequent network switching*\\n- *navigate through inconsistent user interfaces*\\n- *relying on the risky route of cross-chain bridging between chains*\\n- *experiencing difficulty in maintaining a consistent cross-chain identity due to the multi-chain ecosystem*\\n- *dealing with the lack of standardization between networks, protocols, etc*\\n- *dealing with the learning curve of understanding different networks, each with its own set of rules, interfaces, and requirements.*\\n\\nRemember that this is just a glance at the UX problem. There are undoubtedly more issues issues for a web3 user daily. The list is even longer when it comes to newbie web3 users.\\n\\nThe above-mentioned issues lead to a few major hurdles for not just users but also for developers as well as the entire web3 ecosystem: \\n\\n**Fragmented User Experience**\\n\\nThe main drawback of navigating a multi-chain world is, well, the ***multiple chains*** (*instead of just one)*. And that leads to a completely fragmented user experience. \\n\\nA continual requirement for users to switch between chains, often using different wallets or interfaces for each one makes it challenging for users to keep track of their assets or manage their interactions with dApps. As a result, many find the Web3 experience confusing and overwhelming, which can deter them from using these services altogether.\\n\\n**User Retention Challenges**\\n\\nPoor UX can directly impact user retention. \\n\\nTruth be told, it already is impacting user retention.\\n\\nWhen users encounter difficulties in navigating the web3 ecosystem, they are less likely to return to it. High-profile dApps that have struggled with user retention due to UX issues serve as cautionary tales for new projects entering the space. Complex interfaces, slow transaction times, and confusing wallet setups have all contributed to a decline in user engagement and adoption.\\n\\n**Security and Trust Concerns**\\n\\nThe complexity of managing multiple chains also introduces security risks. \\n\\nUsers must ensure that they are interacting with the correct chain, using the right wallet, and understanding the implications of each transaction. This complexity increases the likelihood of user errors, such as sending assets to the wrong address or falling victim to phishing attacks.\\n\\nFurthermore, the process of bridging assets between these chains is quite often cumbersome and fraught with risks. Users must rely on various bridging protocols, which not only add to the complexity but also introduce potential security vulnerabilities. For instance, a user willing to move tokens from Ethereum to an L2 solution must navigate multiple steps, including wrapping and unwrapping tokens, which can be a deterrent for new users.\\n\\n**Increased Complexity for Builders**\\n\\nThe rise of multiple chains was never just a UX problem for the users of web3. There\u2019s more to it. It has also introduced a host of extra challenges for developers and builders in the space. \\n\\nFor example, each chain often has its own development tools, SDKs, and environments that developers must learn & adapt to, which can be time-consuming and lead to inconsistencies in development practices. Maintaining applications that operate across multiple chains requires managing multiple codebases or conditional code paths. This can lead to significant maintenance overhead, especially when chains update their protocols or APIs.\\n\\nEach additional chain integrated into an application introduces new potential vulnerabilities. Developers must ensure that the security of cross-chain interactions is robust, as any weakness could lead to exploits or hacks. \\n\\nFurthermore, developing for a multi-chain ecosystem that still lacks adequate standardization - is costly. It requires more time and resources, as developers need to learn and implement different protocols, test on multiple platforms, and ensure compatibility across the whole environment involved. The additional cost of extensive security audits makes the process of building & maintaining apps even more difficult.\\n\\n**Barrier to Mass Adoption**\\n\\nThe above-mentioned problems are issues that affect not just users but the web3 world as a whole. \\n\\nOne of the biggest barriers to the mass adoption of Web3 is poor UX. While early adopters and tech-savvy users may be willing to navigate the complexities of the blockchain, the average user is likely to be put off by the steep learning curve. To achieve widespread adoption, Web3 dApps must prioritize UX and make it as easy as possible for users to interact with their services. This means simplifying interfaces, reducing the need for users to understand the underlying technology, and providing clear, concise instructions.\\n\\n### So, What Can We Do About It?\\n\\nWeb3 has come as far as it has today by collaborating to solve the major problems of the ecosystem from providing decentralized infrastructure to solving scalability concerns. The current major problem, however, is the fragmented and broken UX of web3 apps.\\n\\nFortunately, some teams and protocols have some of the best minds in the industry, already working on solving this problem.\\n\\nOne of the major roadmap items of Ethereum, for instance, is its plans to fix the fragmented ecosystem with [***Universal Synchronous Composability***](https://ethcc.io/archive/universal-synchronous-composability), which undoubtedly would be a massive step towards solving the fragmented world we have today as well as towards providing a better UX for users.\\n\\nFrameworks like [CAKE](https://frontier.tech/the-cake-framework) by Frontier Research as well as protocols like Socket, Particle Network, etc., are all building solutions to provide an abstracted user experience for web3 users where they no longer have to bother about the underlying chains, *which in itself resolves more than half of web3 users\u2019 UX issues.* \\n\\nMost of these solutions, however, are currently in their nascent stages and it will still take a significant amount of time for them to shape the overall fragmented UX of Ethereum.\\n\\nMoreover, this does not indicate that it all has been addressed. As web3 builders or protocols, we can still do more to expand the boundaries for improving web3 UX. There are still a few imperative actions that we can take to enhance the experience for our users because as previously mentioned - ***good UX for users impacts the overall web3 ecosystem positively.***\\n\\nIn fact, some of those actions can be taken instantly to improve your applications.\\n\\n1. **A UX-First Approach to App Development**\\n \\n In simpler terms, this means building your apps in a way that even a newbie web3 user can navigate without having to read a single page of documentation or reach out to you for extra support.\\n \\n Most web3 applications are usually built with native web3 users in mind. It is simply assumed that users should be well aware of what a *hexadecimal blockchain address* looks like or what *blockchain-based* *transactions* mean.\\n \\n Dapps with such assumptions, while easy to build, are a nightmare for new users who aren\u2019t tech-savvy and this leads to a bad UX for most users.\\n \\n To combat this, apps should focus on creating intuitive, user-friendly interfaces that abstract away the complexity of interacting with the blockchain - *as much as possible*. This includes providing clear instructions, reducing the number of steps required to complete a transaction, and ensuring that users have access to all of the information they need to make informed decisions. \\n \\n Thus, focus on creating apps with user-friendly designs that prioritize seamless interactions and accessibility.\\n \\n2. **Provide Cross-Chain Support & Solutions If required**\\n \\n Cross-chain interoperability is another critical solution for improving Web3 UX. By enabling seamless communication between different chains, interoperability protocols can reduce the complexity of navigating a multi-chain environment.\\n \\n If your protocol spreads across multiple chains, you need to figure out ways to make it seamless for your users to navigate through it and the apps built on top of it. Including cross-chain solutions for such cases eventually leads to a better UX for your users.\\n \\n A good example of this in practice is how Push leverages cross-chain solutions for its [CCR feature](https://push.org/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip/) which primarily aims to improve the experience for the users.\\n \\n3. **Incentive Structure for Seamless UX**\\n \\n Incentivization could play a key role as well. To encourage developers to prioritize UX, dApps can create incentive structures that reward user-centric design.\\n \\n This could include offering grants to developers who create user-friendly interfaces, and focus on solving UX challenges in multi-chain environments. This could help fund the creation of tools and features that reduce friction for users by either optimizing existing pieces of software for better performance or simplifying user interfaces.\\n \\n4. **Good UX is more than just a User Interface**\\n \\n A common misconception is to equate good UX solely with fast and visually appealing user interfaces. In reality, a truly great UX goes far beyond just the front-end design.\\n \\n Two critical components that significantly enhance the overall UX for your users are ***usability and trust.***\\n \\n Unlike traditional Web2 apps, Web3 applications interact with smart contracts, which require gas fees for any on-chain operations. Optimizing these smart contracts to minimize gas consumption is essential. By doing so, you ensure that users can engage with your dApp more cost-effectively, directly improving usability and making your application more accessible to a broader audience.\\n \\n Moreover, robust security features and a commitment to transparency with users are fundamental to building **reliability and trust.** In the Web3 space, where apps interact with immutable databases\u2014the blockchain\u2014users must be confident in the safety of their transactions. Since most on-chain transactions are irreversible, providing clear security warnings before users commit and giving detailed error messages, and transparent indicators of transaction statuses (including estimated processing times) are crucial for fostering trust.\\n \\n In addition, conducting thorough audits of your smart contracts to mitigate the risk of exploits is not just a security measure but a vital aspect of UX. Ensuring that users\' assets are safe builds confidence and reliability in your app, which is indispensable for an overall positive user experience.\\n \\n\\n### Building a Web3 App in a Multi-Chain World\\n\\nPush Protocol has always aimed to improve the overall user experience for not just its own users but the entire web3 ecosystem.\\n\\nSince the launch of our dapp, we have led with the incorporation of a UX-Driven and Security-First approach. Be it visual interface changes to the dapp, optimizations of our smart contract, or enabling gasless opt-ins for smooth dapp interactions, we continue to put this into practice across the board.\\n\\nHere is a quick glance at the evolution of the Push Dapp since its early days.\\n\\n![Push DApp](cover-image1.webp) \\n\\nHowever, as previously mentioned, UX is more than just user interface improvements.\\n\\nIn particular, maintaining an excellent UX in web3 app with such a fragmented ecosystem could be very challenging. \\n\\nWe faced a similar challenge as well.\\n\\nPush has built a communication & notification layer for all EVM (*and soon, Non-EVM*) chains. This means our dapp supports multiple chains which leads to a fragmented experience where user have to frequently switch between chains to perform various actions.\\n\\nA major improvement to resolve this was recently proposed in the PRE-PIP 3 of Push Governance, i.e., [***Cross Chain Requests.***](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794) \\n\\n**Cross Chain Requests ( CCR)**\xa0feature shall be one of the most significant features of Push Smart Contracts as it will enable users to perform important actions like c*hannel creation, creation of Incentivized Chat requests, or any arbitrary request*\xa0from the chain of their choice.\\n\\nThe core idea of the Cross Chain Request feature is to\xa0**make Push smart contracts capable of handling requests that can originate from any chain and are securely relayed to Push Core contracts on Ethereum for necessary validations & state changes.**\\n\\nIn other words, we shall be able to provide an abstracted experience to our users, one in which they no longer have to care about switching to a specific network to interact with the dapp. Users can choose to stay on their preferred chain and the dapp shall be able to handle the rest, thus providing a significantly improved UX in the currently fragmented multi-chain world of Web3. \\n\\n### Conclusion\\n\\nThe rise of multi-chain environments has undoubtedly brought about significant advancements in scalability and efficiency within the Web3 ecosystem. However, this growth has also introduced new challenges, particularly regarding user experience. As dApps continue to evolve and expand across multiple chains, it is crucial to prioritize UX to ensure that users can navigate the ecosystem with ease. \\n\\nBy focusing on creating unified experiences, leveraging cross-chain interoperability solutions, and simplifying user interfaces, web3 apps can overcome the challenges of a multi-chain world and hopefully drive mass adoption of web3 technology.\\n\\nTo achieve mainstream adoption, it\'s now imperative that web3 finds ways to streamline these experiences, making it easier for average users to navigate the complex landscape of multiple chains and protocols."},{"id":"cold-start-solutions-scaling-consumer-crypto","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/cold-start-solutions-scaling-consumer-crypto","source":"@site/blog/2024-08-30-cold-start-solutions-scaling-consumer-crypto/index.md","title":"Cold Start Solutions: Scaling Consumer Crypto","description":"Cold Start Solutions: Scaling Consumer Crypto","date":"2024-08-30T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 30, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Consumer Crypto","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/consumer-crypto"},{"label":"Insights","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/insights"}],"readingTime":8.086666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Ian LeViness","url":"https://x.com/ExpatCrypto3","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorian.png","key":"ian"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"cold-start-solutions-scaling-consumer-crypto","title":"Cold Start Solutions: Scaling Consumer Crypto","authors":["ian"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Cold Start Solutions: Scaling Consumer Crypto","text":"We\u2019ve gone from wen moon to wen widespread adoption?

We, as builders, stick around in this wild, wonderful space we call home because we envision a more transparent, fairer, and overall better internet. \\n\\nWe want social networks that we\u2019re never actually locked into. We want user-run apps. We envision a world in which we truly own what we share online, whether that\u2019s our messages, our photos, or simply, our data. \\n\\nOwnership of the internet by the collective rather than the few is and always will be a key part of what we\u2019re all doing here. Still, why do 95% of consumers know what crypto is but only 22% actively use anything that constitutes a \u201ccrypto application?\u201d How do we reach an age in which Dapps are just apps and in which web3 is just \u201cthe internet?\u201d\\n\\nHow do we unify the world under one banner?\\n\\nTo even begin to answer any of these questions, we need to both understand why we haven\u2019t quite crossed the chasm. We\u2019ve redefined what the financial system and, the internet as a whole can be, but we haven\u2019t gotten the greater global population to buy in. \\n\\nBy looking at how different projects, networks, and platforms, both in and outside of crypto, have overcome the \\"cold start problem,\\" you can piece together a playbook to set your Dapp up to cross the chasm to widespread adoption.\\n\\nFor our purposes, we\u2019ll be examining all cases under the umbrella of platforms, since almost every popular app, Dapp, or network today has turned out to be one. \\n\\n### What is the Cold Start Problem and why should anyone care?\\n\\nYou\u2019ve built an app. You believe it\u2019s the next place where everyone will gather to connect and share content online. It\u2019s going to be the next member of the \u201cbillion users club.\u201d \\n\\nEverything\u2019s in place technically and yet, there\u2019s one problem. You don\u2019t have any users and you don\u2019t have anything for them to share.\\n\\nIf you\u2019ve built an Airbnb without listings and users, a YouTube without videos, or a social network without content and users, then you\u2019ve faced the cold start problem. Trying to figure out how to set the right baseline of producers(or just content) and consumers to set your app(or platform) up for success means solving the cold start problem. \\n\\nIn the context of web3, a cold start refers to launching a Dapp that has no user base yet. Alternatively, it can be defined as determining how to attract an initial user base that will engage with the Dapp in the exact ways needed to scale it from 0 to a wide audience. \\n\\nKnowing how to address the cold start problem requires understanding how others have already done so and there\u2019s no better place to begin than with some of web2\u2019s most explosive successes. \\n\\n### Zoom: It\u2019s easy and it just works\\n\\nThere\u2019s something to be said for a product that\u2019s dedicated to being as reliable as possible and as easy as possible to use. When Zoom rose to prominence during the pandemic, some claimed that its meteoric growth was simply due to luck and timing. \\n\\nThis, however, is only half of the truth.\\n\\nThey had both the right timing and the right product. \\n\\nOn the surface, Zoom appeared to be just another videoconferencing option, but two key actors prepared it to become the giant it is today. First, it was and continues to be dedicated to making every aspect of the user experience radically simple. You could and can still join a meeting just by clicking a link. Everything from reacting to a speaker to sending a message to changing your background, to integrating your planned meetings with your calendar was made as easy as possible to do. \\n\\nDuring a time when we were more desperate than ever to connect with people, it became the most reliable option. The fact that it continued to run nearly seamlessly for up to 100 users per meeting via the free tier and 300+ on the higher tiers only added to its popularity. \\n\\nPerhaps you\u2019ll find Zoom\u2019s example to be inspiring and perhaps not. Admittedly, Zoom has now also faced its share of issues. Even so, web3 builders can still learn from its team\u2019s dedication to facilitating seamless onboarding and making the product \u201cjust work\u201d above all else. \\n\\n**Key takeaways from Zoom\u2019s example:**\\n\\n- Reducing the number of signatures required for sign-up to your Dapp\\n- Simplifying the process of initiating transactions\\n- Integrating solutions similar to [Push\u2019s Cross Chain Requests](https://push.org/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip/) to take the hassle of bridging and related actions away from the end-user\\n- Stripping away complexity that could cause performance issues in the early days and focusing on the core functionalities that are explicitly needed\\n- Beta testing, through multiple iterations in a gamified fashion with points or even tokens to ensure your MVP just works\\n- Releasing your MVP once it\u2019s clear it will run without major issues\\n- Adding new features with direct user input through community calls, surveys, and other direct methods like the governance process, as your Dapp\u2019s user base grows\\n\\nWith a list such as the above, you\u2019ll be off to a good start. Still, having a killer product is only one piece of the puzzle. Solving the cold start problem also means having the right mix of users in place, or, as Alexis Ohanian puts it, \u201cthe minimum viable community,\u201d from day one. \\n\\n### Bank of America and Bitcoin: Atomic Networks Lead to Hyperscaling\\n\\nTo define \u201cminimum viable community,\u201d and why it matters, let\u2019s begin by considering the invention of the consumer credit card. On September 18, 1958, Bank of America mailed the first credit cards to 60,000 residents of Fresno, California. These cards were pre-loaded with $300-$500 of credit and required no application process. \\n\\nIn one day, 60,000 cardholders came into being. This resulted in 300 Fresno-based merchants signing up to support Bank of America\u2019s new network. In just over a year, that network grew to 2 million cardholders and 20,000 merchants. \\n\\nBank of America\u2019s gamble worked because it wasn\u2019t a gamble. Their first cardholders weren\u2019t randomly selected. At the time of the launch, 45% of Fresno residents had some sort of relationship with the bank, making Fresno the ideal spot for the first atomic network for their new credit card. \\n\\nWith their experience with Fresno in hand, the bank was able to repeat the same success repeatedly leading to their meteoric rise to prominence in the nascent space of consumer credit. \\n\\nThis is an atomic network, a unique, intentional matching of consumers and producers that just works and can be repeated to scale a networked product.\\n\\nAll successful platforms started in this manner. Still, the atomic network is only one part of the battle. Without a killer product to drive to it, your chances of scaling are virtually non-existent. \\n\\nTake Bitcoin, for example.\\n\\nIn 2009, when it launched, it already had pre-set users. The cypherpunk community. These individuals believed in widespread financial freedom, the right to privacy, and every other aspect of what is still the wind beneath the wings of the crypto industry. With the cypherpunks as its first atomic network, Bitcoin launched and continued to scale without a central authority.\\n\\n**Key takeaways from Bank of America and Bitcoin itself:**\\n\\n- Starting with a specific area or online community where people need what you\'re offering\\n- Zeroing in on that using similar approaches to how Bank of America built out its credit network and how Bitcoin built out its initial atomic network for future scale\\n- Making sure your product addresses a need expressed in the values of the group or groups involved\\n- Determining through your initial connection with that group or groups what features address a real need for them\\n- Launching with a small set of features that directly address what this initial atomic network or MVC needs\\n- Iterating and expanding based on user feedback and direct usage patterns that arise in your MVC\\n- Using your initial atomic network or MVC as a model for growth into new markets and leveraging the same messaging and overall values that attracted your pioneers\\n\\nKiller products with the right atomic networks can set a Dapp up for explosive growth but you won\u2019t gain and retain your initial atomic network without solving for the power users first. \\n\\nWhether we\u2019re speaking about a web2 app like Zoom or Bitcoin, the digital gold itself, the principle remains the same. \\n\\n### Wikipedia, Ethereum, and DAOs: Solve for the Core Contributors First\\n\\nLast but not least, let\u2019s say you have a killer, easy-to-use product and a potential atomic network, but you\u2019re struggling with attracting your first creators. \\n\\n\u201cCreator,\u201d in this context, may be considered synonymous with \u201cproducer.\u201d Youtubers, Bitcoin miners, developers, or even Wikipedia editors, it\u2019s all the same in this respect. In today\u2019s day and age where we\u2019re trending more and more towards every app involving a two-sided exchange, it\u2019s never been more crucial to attract and retain the right creators from the get-go. \\n\\nFor instance, Wikipedia is largely maintained by 0.02% of its users, who create and edit articles for free. They do so both because they deeply connect with Wikipedia\u2019s vision of \u201cfree access to all human knowledge,\u201d and because of the relative prestige their work gains them within their community. \\n\\nIn short, they join the effort and stay with it because they need to see the vision realized. DAOs work in the same manner. So do many crypto projects, including Ethereum itself which has consistently been able to attract and retain builders from all over the world due to its commitment to being the world computer that anyone can build on. \\n\\nThe vision rules. The core contributors create the environment for ideal collaboration which scales the network to new heights. \\n\\nWikipedia found its core contributors through sharing its vision across communities that were most likely to resonate with it, like Nupedia, and Slashdot. DAOs tend to publish manifestos, constitutions, or similar documents from day one to do the same. Ethereum used its early technical papers and its ICO, together with memorable appearances at industry events, as jump-off points. \\n\\nIn all of these cases, the founding teams led with incredible attention to detail related to who their initial target market was. \\n\\nStill, creating an environment that incentivizes consistent growth is incredibly difficult.\\n\\nSome Dapps will choose to start by surveying their core community and creating a shared vision and set of values as a collective. Some will do so via a delegation representing the whole community. Others won\u2019t need decentralized governance of any kind until the later stages of their development. \\n\\nWhile there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all approach to attracting and keeping the first producers or \u201ccore contributors\u201d to your Dapp\u2019s growth, there are principles that tend to work across the board.\\n\\nThe below is an attempt at mapping out the steps of that effort. \\n\\n**Key takeaways from Wikipedia, Ethereum, and DAOs:**\\n\\n- Creating an impactful vision and using successful vision-driven projects as jump-offs or inspirations for doing so\\n- Aligning your project\'s vision with the values of your most active users\\n- Publishing a manifesto or a similar document indicating what you stand for and why people should care about what you are doing\\n- Creating an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation\\n- Implementing governance structures and incentives that encourage long-term commitment\\n- Ensuring that any change or new effort you put into place is a value add for your core contributors\\n- Making paths to further growth clear to every community member, whether that\u2019s how an ambassador rises to core status or something else entirely\\n- Opening up growth paths to anyone and having them stewarded by your initial core members\\n- Iterating with community sentiment and realizing that no aspect of your community, even your initial vision, is set in stone forever\\n\\n### The Consumer Crypto Playbook: A Starting Point\\n\\nWe\u2019re at a tipping point. \\n\\nBoth in and outside of the crypto space, almost all popular apps are platforms. Some sort of supplier is meeting some sort of demand. The rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the industry we hold dear today shifted everything further towards this point. Today, crypto-based applications are starting to break through to the mainstream, but we haven\u2019t yet had our breakout moment.\\n\\nFor now, we\u2019re still sitting on the edge of the chasm towards widespread consumer usage.\\n\\nTo make our way across, we need the right playbook for scaling Dapps which focuses on simplicity reigning across the user experience, growth beginning and consistently centering on the atomic network, and the hard side being solved from the earliest days. \\n\\nOur discussion here today is an in-roads. How you address the cold start problem is highly context-specific to what your Dapp\u2019s niche is. With all of the above takeaways at your fingertips, you have the foundation for an early-growth playbook that gets you off to a solid start. \\n\\nAs you think about any of the areas that we\u2019ve covered here, consider the following questions to help guide you even further:\\n\\n- How can you abstract away complexity from your networked product to make the user experience as easy as possible from day one?\\n- What\'s the deep purpose of the network you\'re launching?\\n- Why should people care about that purpose?\\n- Who are the groups in which you\u2019ll find those people who will become your minimum viable community?\\n- Where do those groups gather, online or offline?\\n- How can you most effectively reach them in a way that won\u2019t turn them off from what you\u2019re offering?\\n- Once you\u2019ve got your minimum viable community, what will keep them involved?\\n- What incentives will you offer to show in practice that you\u2019re dedicated to your earliest users?\\n- How will you take in community feedback and how will you show you\u2019re using it in practice?\\n- How will your product be led over time?\\n- Will you DAOify or simply decentralize a part of your product?\\n\\nWe, at Push, envision a world in which the on-chain experience is seamless and Universal Apps negate the need to understand the complexity of switching between chains. For that to happen, we need all hands working together towards the same goal.

This means, the network must create a system and rules that allows them to not just securely communicate but to also form a consensus on the overall state of the network.\\n\\nWhile it\'s a complicated task and there exists a plethora of imperative ingredients that enable security and fairness in a decentralized network, one of the most significant ones is randomness.\\n\\nRandomness, in its simplest form, refers to the lack of pattern or predictability in events. It\'s a concept that plays a crucial role in various fields, from mathematics and computer science to nature itself. Randomness is what makes a dice roll unpredictable, ensures fairness in games, and powers the algorithms behind secure cryptographic systems. In technology, especially within decentralized networks, randomness serves as a fundamental building block that underpins security and fairness, ensuring that processes are free from bias and manipulation.\\n\\nIn this article, we explore the significance of randomness in decentralized networks and how Push nodes incorporate randomness to enhance the security of the Push network.\\n\\n### Why do we even need Randomness?\\n\\nTo begin with, let\u2019s understand the importance of Randomness in decentralized networks.\\n\\nAs previously mentioned, decentralized networks don\u2019t have a central authority. Instead, they are made of a group of nodes located at different parts of the world. These nodes are responsible to act and perform certain actions in the network to keep it functional.\\n\\nThe selection of nodes to perform specific tasks must happen in a decentralized and fair manner to ensure no single actor in the network is capable of controlling the operations of the network.\\n\\nThis is where randomness plays a critical role.\\n\\nIn such decentralized systems, randomness is used to ensure the unpredictability of various processes, such as selecting validators, generating cryptographic keys, etc. \\n\\nThis unpredictability is essential to prevent malicious actors from gaining control or manipulating the network. For example, in consensus mechanisms like Proof of Stake, a random selection of validators ensures that no single participant can dominate the process, thereby maintaining the decentralized nature of the network involved.\\n\\nRandomness also enhances the resilience of blockchains by making it difficult for attackers to predict or influence outcomes. This unpredictability protects against various attacks, such as Sybil attacks or collusion, where adversaries attempt to gain disproportionate control over a network.\\n\\nMoreover, randomness is vital in achieving fairness as it helps ensure that every participant has an equal opportunity to contribute and benefit from a network, regardless of their resources or influence.\\n\\nNow that we have a basic understanding of how crucial randomness is, let\u2019s understand its how Push Nodes use randomness to enhance their security and fairness.\\n\\n### Quick Glance at Push Nodes\\n\\n[Push Nodes](https://push.org/blog/explaining-push-nodes/) are a significant step towards the decentralized infrastructure for web3\u2019s leading communication layer, the Push Protocol Network. This network is designed to facilitate secure and efficient movement of web3 notifications. \\n\\nThe Push Network comprises different types of nodes such as Validator Nodes, Storage nodes, etc. A smart contract guards the network to maintain node staking and slashing. This is where the PUSH token is used.\\n\\n### How the Push Network uses Randomness to enhance its Security\\n\\nIn this section, we will specifically understand the complete mechanism of how a transaction is submitted onto Push network and the role of randomness involved in the process.\\n\\nIn the Push Network, the role of randomization is incorporated at multiple levels which allows the network to prevent centralization while ensuring that it remains resilient against a variety of attacks. \\n\\nA crucial security mechanism of the Push Chain is the randomized selection of validators for transaction validation or block production. This mechanism leverages cryptographic randomness to ensure an unpredictable selection of validators &\xa0attestants ( *who verify whether or not a transaction is legit* ) to enhance the network\u2019s resilience and fairness.\\n\\nA brief overview of the process looks something like this:\\n\\n- To send a transaction to the network, the SDK/sender must attach a randomly generated token number to the transaction.\\n- To fetch this token, the SDK can request the same from any validator.\\n- Once received, the SDK attaches this token to the transaction and sends it to the network.\\n- The network then uses this random token to cryptographically decide the specific validator to verify the particular transaction for further processing.\\n- Additionally, the validator also randomly decides the validator set responsible for attesting to the transaction.\\n\\n### **Now, let\u2019s dive deeper into the Randomness of the Push Network:**\\n\\nThe Push SDK selects a random validator (VR1) to generate a special signed (RANDX) hex token. \\n\\nThe generation is performed as follows:\\n\\n1. **Generation of a Random Token:**\\n \\n The network is designed to ensure that a random token cannot merely be generated by a single validator. Instead, it must be a combined effort as every random token is ideally a collection of digitally signed pieces of random numbers provided by specific validators in the network.\\n \\n To determine the exact number of such pieces required to form the token, the Validator.sol smart contract defines a parameter called `*required_random_number`.* This indicates the number of required random peers whose signed values each validator must hold, at a given time. Additionally, the contract also defines an `*expiration_time*` parameter that defines the expiry time for these tokens which helps ensure that only freshly created tokens can be used for the creation of random tokens.\\n \\n It should be kept in mind that validators in the network periodically ping their peers to collect and exchange signed random values. The collected value from each validator is a combination of the random value itself and the validator\'s signature, ensuring it can be verifiable.\\n \\n ```jsx\\n signedRandomValue = value + validatorSignature\\n ```\\n \\n As a result, at any given moment the validators should have a collection of signed random values by their peers, i.e., **`signedRandomValue[].`**\\n \\n Once a validator has accumulated the necessary signed random values, it can generate the random token. This token is derived from the network\'s collective randomness using the following formula:\\n \\n ```jsx\\n RANDX_Token = XOR(sha(signedRandomValue[i])) for all i\\n ```\\n \\n 1. **The SDK Requests for a Random Token** \\n \\n Next, now let\u2019s understand what happens when the SDK requests for a random token.\\n \\n As previously mentioned, before sending any transaction to the network, the SDK\xa0 requests for a random token that must be attached with the transaction being sent.\\n \\n Now, since a random token value has already been generated ( as mentioned in step 1), any validator can provide this random token to the SDK.\\n \\n The SDK then attaches this random token to the transaction payloads and sends the transaction to the network.\\n \\n 2. **Randomized Selection of Validators**\\n \\n This random token attached to the transaction plays a crucial role in randomly deciding which validator will process the transaction. With this token, the SDK deciphers the validator ID, to whom it must send the transaction for further processing. \\n \\n ```jsx\\n validator_id = f( RANDX_TOKEN, contract_defaults)\\n \\n //OUTPUT looks like: \\n validator_id = v1\\n \\n where contract default parameters could be:\\n a. min required quantity of random numbers,\\n b. expiration time,\\n c. a minimum number of peers that acknowledge the validator\'s online status.\\n ```\\n \\n Upon receiving the transaction, the validator checks the random token in the transaction\u2019s payload and validates it to confirm that it has been correctly assigned the role of handling this transaction. \\n \\n In case the validator identifies that it has been wrongly chosen, ***it can reject the transaction.***\\n \\n Once the accurate assignment of the validator is confirmed, the validator now creates a similar randomized process for creating a list of validators who must attest to the transaction being processed.\\n \\n ```jsx\\n vlist = f(RANDX_Token_2nd, contract_defaults)\\n \\n // Output looks like this:\\n vlist = V2, V50, V11, V8, V38, V17, V29\\n ```\\n \\n This list of validators is also responsible for verifying its **legitimacy.**\\n \\n \\n ### Summary\\n \\n To summarize, the entire process detailed above adds a security layer with the inclusion of randomization at multiple levels, i.e.,:\\n \\n - **1st Level:** The initial randomization starts with the SDK choosing any random validator to request for a token to be attached to the transaction.\\n - **2nd Level: A token is generated** using digitally signed pieces of random values from multiple random validators instead of relying on any single actor.\\n - **3rd Level: A specific validator is randomly selected** to create the token to be attached in the transaction occurs.\\n - **4th Level:** The final level of randomization determines which specific validator (VR2) will process a transaction and which validator set will act as attestants to verify the transaction.\\n \\n This multi-level randomness ensures that at every step, the network is secure, and fair, while continuing to operate in a completely decentralized fashion."},{"id":"push-protocol-july-updates","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-july-updates","source":"@site/blog/2024-08-23-push-july-monthly-updates/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at July","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at July","date":"2024-08-23T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 23, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":2.7066666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-protocol-july-updates","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at July","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at July","text":"July was a monumental month for Push Protocol as we hit the huge milestone of 100 Million Push Notifications","tags":["Push Protocol","Web3","Blockchain Technology"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"The Role of Randomness in Push Nodes","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/the-role-of-randomness-in-push-nodes"},"nextItem":{"title":"Now anyone can write for Push","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/now-anyone-can-write-for-push-protocol"}},"content":"![Cover Image of Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at July](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nJuly was a monumental month for Push Protocol as we hit the huge milestone of [**100 Million**](https://x.com/pushprotocol/status/1824491148229898313) Push Notifications.

They\u2019ll be capable of handling requests from any chain, which will then be relayed to the Ethereum-based Push core contracts for validations and state changes. \\n3. **Upgraded Incentivized Chats:** Users will be able to initiate and receive paid chats from any chain to any chain, as long as both are supported by the framework. \\n4. **Cross-Chain Requests (CCR):** This feature allows users to perform actions like creating channels or requests on any blockchain, rather than just on Ethereum. This move is essential for Push to reach a broader audience across different blockchains, including Layer 2 (L2), Layer 3 (L3), and app-specific chains, without increasing friction in the user\u2019s experience with our tech.\\n5. A new hub for builders: All of this will enable a new hub for builders to experiment and widen the boundaries of innovation with web3-based consumer apps. \\n\\nWe then moved on to Wormhole\u2019s views on the significance of the integration of Push\u2019s smart contracts with their tech: \\n\\n### Why Push x Wormhole?\\n\\nThe integration centers on making the $PUSH token natively fungible across all of the connected chains that Push wants, while enabling native-messaging of all sorts on all involved. We came up with this new multi-chain framework, the Native Token Transfer framework, to enable seamless token transfers across different chains without the need for liquidity pools or complex bridging mechanisms. We both agree that the industry needs to involve into one that is truly interoperable. This is a major step in that direction. \\n\\n### Why is Pre-PIP 3/CCR important?\\n\\nThe proposal includes detailed research and considerations, focusing on minimal changes to the existing architecture, a security-first approach, and how the technical aspects of Wormhole will enable CCR. This includes the deployment of manager and transceiver contracts on different chains and how these contracts interact with Push\u2019s existing infrastructure.\\n\\n### Why did Push choose Wormhole for this integration?\\n\\n1. **Native Token Transfer (NTT) Framework:** This framework allows for seamless token transfers across different chains without the need for liquidity pools or complex bridging mechanisms.\\n2. **Security:** Wormhole\u2019s framework is battle-tested and includes additional security measures like rate limiting.\\n3. **Future-Proofing:** The NTT framework allows Push to maintain governance control over its tokens across multiple chains, which is crucial for its ecosystem and the evolution of its DAO. \\n\\n### Overview of the Wormhole Transceiver and Security Framework:\\n\\n1. **Wormhole Transceiver:** This utilizes the general message passing layer of Wormhole, which relies on a security model with 19 independent \\"guardians\\" who verify messages. At least 13 of the 19 guardians must agree to validate a message, making the system highly secure. \\n2. **Flexibility and Future-Proofing: Wormhole\u2019s** system allows for the adding of other transceivers or message verification protocols, such as off-chain processes or ZK transceivers for enhanced security.\\n3. **Overall Security and Reliability:** Wormhole has processed over a billion messages while maintaining consistently high security and resilience across its network. The platform already provably supports the future of secure message and token transfers across chains.\\n\\n### Push Protocol and Wormhole Integration:\\n\\n1. **Security-First Approach:** Push Protocol has always and continues to prioritize security, ensuring that the deployment of tokens and messages on multiple chains is always protected and that protection always increases. \\n2. **Cross-Chain Request (CCR):** With CCR live, users will be able to execute actions (e.g., creating channels) across different chains without leaving their native chain or bridging tokens. The integration with Wormhole makes this process more seamless and efficient.\\n3. **User Experience:** Post-CCR\u2019s launch, actions like channel creation will become more straightforward, with users able to operate across chains without the hassle of managing tokens or gas fees on multiple networks to get to their intended destination. \\n\\n### The Greater Implications of CCR for Developers and Builders:\\n\\n1. **Unified API and Multi-Chain Notifications:** Developers can build once and notify everywhere, simplifying cross-chain interactions and enhancing user engagement. This reduces development complexity and improves resource management.\\n2. **Enhanced Functionality and Interoperability:** The integration allows for smart contracts on one chain to trigger notifications on another, improving the overall functionality of decentralized applications (dApps).\\n3. **Security Enhancements:** Wormhole\u2019s security features, like rate-limiting, access control, and defense mechanisms, ensure that cross-chain communications remain verifiably secure.\\n\\nThe integration of Push Protocol\'s Cross-Chain Requests (CCR) with Wormhole represents a pivotal advancement in decentralized technology. This advancement strengthens Push\u2019s security, raises its scalability, and broadens its reach across multiple blockchains, paving the way for a more connected and user-friendly Web3 experience for all. As Push continues to innovate, its partnership with Wormhole ensures that it remains on the forefront. \\n\\nTo any of you who are looking to build the future of consumer applications, reach out to our team across our networks, and we\u2019ll help you get started as CCR takes off!"},{"id":"cross-chain-requests-pre-pip","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/cross-chain-requests-pre-pip","source":"@site/blog/2024-07-30-pre-pip-for-ccr/index.md","title":"Introducing Pre-PIP 3 (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests:","description":"Introducing Pre-PIP 3 (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests:","date":"2024-07-30T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 30, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":3.6233333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"cross-chain-requests-pre-pip","title":"Introducing Pre-PIP 3 (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests:","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Introducing Pre-PIP 3 (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests:","text":"Push Protocol, the leading web3 communication layer, has proposed a major upgrade with the introduction of Pre-PIP (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests (CCR).","tags":["Push Protocol","Web3","Blockchain Technology"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Push Protocol x Wormhole AMA for the Cross Chain Request Feature in Push V3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/ama-with-wormhole-for-cross-chain-requests-pre-pip"},"nextItem":{"title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at June","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/monthly-updates-june-2024"}},"content":"![Cover Image of Introducing Pre-PIP 3 (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nPush Protocol, the leading web3 communication layer, has proposed a major upgrade with the introduction of [Pre-PIP (Push Improvement Proposal) for Cross-Chain Requests (CCR)](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794). This proposal aims to enable users to interact with Push Protocol smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain from any blockchain network, whether it\u2019s EVM-based or non-EVM. Once CCR is implemented, users will be able to stay on their preferred blockchain while accessing Push Protocol\'s services, offering enhanced convenience and flexibility.\\n\\n### What is CCR (Cross-Chain Requests) and its impact?\\nIn the current Push Protocol architecture, performing any important task related to channels like creating a channel, modification of a channel, changing a channel\u2019s state, etc, requires the user/protocol to interact with the Push Smart Contract which is only deployed on Ethereum Blockchain. \\n\\nThis led to a bad user experience for the user/protocol as they need to switch to the Ethereum network for any interaction they might want to do with the Push Core contract. This is currently a friction point for users who primarily operate on other EVM-compatible chains and even non-EVM users.\\n\\nCross-chain requests will eliminate the need to switch to the Ethereum Network making it possible to create a channel, use Push services, or interact with Push Protocol\u2019s Ethereum smart contract from any blockchain they like, whether it\u2019s another EVM chain or non-EVM chain.\\n\\nAdditionally, this was not just something that users faced but more for Push Protocol as it limits Push Protocol\'s ability to tap into other chains and help solve the communication/notification issues of those chains adequately. This constraint hinders the protocol from reaching a broader audience and solving communication issues across diverse blockchain environments.\\n\\nTherefore, by enabling the Cross-Chain Request feature, Push Protocol can primarily significantly enhance the UX for average users as well as channel creators/managers from not just Ethereum but multiple other EVM/Non-EVM chains as well. It also allows the protocol to expand its market reach, attract users from different chains, and foster a more interconnected blockchain ecosystem.\\n\\n### Importance of CCR (Cross-Chain Requests):\\nThe Cross Chain Requests (CCR) feature is crucial for the future success and growth of the Push Protocol:\\n1. **Enhanced User Experience:** The CCR feature will significantly enhance user experience by eliminating the need for users to switch networks or manually bridge tokens to interact with the Push Core contract on Ethereum. This streamlined process will allow users to perform key actions like channel creation and incentivize chat requests directly from their preferred blockchain, reducing both complexity and transaction costs. By making these features accessible from various chains, CCR removes barriers for new and existing users, fostering a more inclusive and user-friendly environment.\\n2. **Broader Reach:** The CCR feature will expand the reach of Push Protocol across the blockchain ecosystem. By enabling interactions from multiple EVM and non-EVM chains, CCR will not only broaden the protocol\'s user base but also tap into diverse blockchain communities that might benefit from Push\u2019s communication and notification features. This increased accessibility helps Push Protocol grow its market presence and integrate with a wider range of blockchain projects, ultimately supporting the development of a more interconnected and collaborative blockchain network.\\n3. **Revolutionizing Web3 Communications**: CCR future-proofs Push Protocol against the rapid evolution of the blockchain space. As new chains and technologies emerge, CCR\u2019s cross-chain capabilities ensure that Push Protocol remains adaptable and relevant. By leveraging established technologies like Wormhole\u2019s NTT framework and Relayers, CCR positions Push Protocol to embrace future advancements and continue delivering value to its users across an ever-expanding blockchain landscape.\\n\\n**Here\u2019s a simple overview of how CCR works:**\\n\\n1. **Initiate Request**: A user on another blockchain (like Polygon) wants to perform an action, such as creating a new channel for sending notifications.\\n2. **Submit Details**: The user uses a special function on the Push Communicator contract on their preferred blockchain to submit the request, providing the necessary details and approving the $PUSH tokens for the action.\\n3. **Send Data and Tokens**: The Push Communicator contract validates the input, creates a message payload, and uses Wormhole Relayers to securely send this payload and the $PUSH tokens to the Push Core contract on Ethereum.\\n4. **Process Request**: On Ethereum, the Push Core contract receives the message and tokens, decodes the request, validates it, and performs the required action.\\n5. **Completion**: The request is completed on Ethereum, and any unused native tokens are refunded to the user on their original blockchain.\\n\\n![Cover Image of Diagram for Cross-Chain Requests](./image1.webp)\\n\\n\\n### Visualizing Channel Creation with the CCR feature\\n\\nImagine Bob, a Polygon user, wants to create a channel for sending notifications. \\n\\nPreviously, he\'d need to switch to Ethereum, bridge tokens, and change networks. With CCR, Bob simply uses the familiar Push Communicator contract on Polygon. \\n\\nThe contract acts as a bridge, relaying Bob\'s request (channel details) and the required PUSH tokens (bridged via Wormhole) to the Push Core contract on Ethereum. \\n\\nAll behind the scenes, without Bob ever leaving Polygon! This creates a seamless experience for users on any chain, opening Push Protocol to a wider audience.\\n\\n### Why Not Just Deploy Push Core Everywhere?\\n\\nWhile putting Push Core on every blockchain might seem easy, it\'s quite tricky. \\n\\nIt would be hard to manage separate fees and keep all the information on different chains in sync, which could even be risky. \\n\\nThat\'s why we\'re improving the existing Push Communicator contracts to handle these requests. We\'ll also use a reliable system called Wormhole to securely send information and tokens between blockchains. This way, everything works smoothly without needing Push Core on every chain. For more details check out [here](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794).\\n\\n### Implementation: How we will build CCR:\\n\\nTo implement Cross-Chain Requests (CCR), we will:\\n\\n1. Enable $Push Token for multi-chain support.\\n2. Build cross-chain support in the Push Communicator and Push Core Contract.\\n3. Use Wormhole\u2019s Relayer Interface and NTT framework for token transfers across chains.\\n4. Equip the Push Communicator to handle cross-chain actions like channel creation and requests.\\n5. Modify the Push Core Contract to process cross-chain payloads.\\n6. Conduct security audits and deploy the updated contracts on the testnet and mainnet.\\n\\nFor more details on the implementation of CCR check out [here](https://gov.push.org/t/pre-pip-3-cross-chain-request-feature-in-push-smart-contracts-v3/1794).\\n\\n### The Future of Push Protocol:\\n\\nCCR feature is a significant step forward for Push Protocol. It paves the way for a more interconnected and user-friendly communication layer within the ever-expanding blockchain landscape. \\n\\nStay tuned for further updates as we implement CCR and empower users to unlock the full potential of Web3 communication!"},{"id":"monthly-updates-june-2024","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/monthly-updates-june-2024","source":"@site/blog/2024-07-17-monthly-updates-june/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at June","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at June","date":"2024-07-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 17, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":2.4166666666666665,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"monthly-updates-june-2024","title":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at June","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Push Protocol Monthly Updates: A Look Back at June","text":"June has been a monumental month for Push Protocol, marked by significant achievements and advancements that further strengthen our position in the Web3 ecosystem.

The common goal of this design shift is to achieve scalability and, as a result, a higher degree of interoperability.\\n\\nBut as the web3 dev community continues to take bigger strides in achieving transactional interoperability, app-to-user, app-to-app, and user-to-user communication are still at nascent steps.\\n\\nPush is working towards diminishing this divide between transactional and communication interoperability by building a robust, secure fabric that weaves multiple chains and services together by forming the **\u201cUniversal Layer2 Of Communication\u201d**.\\n\\n\\n## Fragmented Ecosystem\\n\\nWeb3 operates on a multitude of blockchains, each with its own protocols, standards, and its own unique set of rules. This creates independent and isolated silos of information, making it difficult for users, services and applications built on separate chains to interact and communicate with each other unanimously.\\n\\nPush continues to form a communication blanket over the fragmented ecosystem and provide its communication services to multiple EVM and non-EVM based chains. At present, Push supports over 7 networks including:\\n\\n- Ethereum\\n- Polyogn\\n- Polygon zkEVM\\n- Arbitrum\\n- Binance Smart Chain (BNB)\\n- Fuse\\n- Cyber\\n\\n\\n**The Communicator contracts (Push Comm V2) serve as a middleware for listening to inbound communications**\xa0and events from the Client Application\u2019s smart contract. Thus, shouldering the responsibility of on-chain communication across contracts deployed on multiple chains (EVM and non-EVM).\\n\\nNotifications can not always be triggered as a result of an on-chain event. Many notifications, especially the ones that are more inclined towards driving engagement can be considered off-chain. Push ensures that any frontend, service, backend or smart contract can easily send communication payloads across the diverse participants and devices ( App, Wallet, Extension, Frontends and more).\\n\\n\\n\\n## Data Availability (no communication DA layer)\\n\\nTraditionally, Data Availability (DA) ensures that the data needed to validate a block is accessible to the majority of network participants. However, in the context of interoperable communications within Web3, we need a broader concept: \u201c**Communication DA\u201d**.\\n\\n**What\'s the problem?** \\nFrom an end user\'s perspective, app notifications and other forms of read-write communications (messaging, groupchats, videocalls) should be accessible regardless of the platform, service, hardware and underlying chain they use. Previously, there was no standardized middleware mechanism to link communication across platforms and chains.\\n\\nPush solves this problem. Being an open network, Push enables any frontend, service, or backend to securely tap into the Push network and extract the necessary communication payloads in a platform-agnostic manner. \\n\\nSimply put, **your communication travels with your web3 identity: your wallet.**\\n\\n\x3c!-- Push Delivery Node image --\x3e\\n![Push Delivery Nodes](./image1.webp)\\n\\n## Benefits to Protocols and DApps\\n\\n### 1. Communications \ud83e\udd1d\xa0Web 3 Wallets\\n\\nIn a typical web3 user journey, A user\u2019s wallet , is the first element that unlocks transactional interoperability by allowing users to seamlessly transfer assets and interact with dApps regardless of their underlying set of rules.\\n\\nPush Protocol extends the scope of this interoperability by enabling cross-chain communication in form of notifications and messaging for Dapps, wallets, and services by tying it to the wallet addresses in an open, cryptographically encrypted and gasless manner.\\n\\nNotifications from various protocols and services are accessible regardless of the chains they originate from. All subscribed channel notifications are synchronized and displayed in one place within your Push-compatible wallet.\\n\\n![Receive notifications from web3 DApps straight to your wallet](./image2.webp)\\n\x3c!-- Push mODILE SCREENSHOT image --\x3e\\n\\n### Interoperable Communication tied to web3 wallets = Secret to unlock massive distribution:\\n\\nAccording to [DApp Radar](https://dappradar.com/blog/state-of-the-dapp-industry-q1-2024), Q1 2024 saw a remarkable surge in daily active wallet users (dUAW), reaching an average of 7 million daily active wallets\u2014a 77% increase compared to the previous year.\\n\\nThe numbers clearly show that the entry into web3 starts from a wallet. With more than 120 wallet apps in market, Push presents an opportunity to revolutionise their UX by reaching to these wallet addresses. And essentially pave the way to **onboard the first Billion users into web3**.\\n\\nProtocols, services, and DApps can tap into a highly scalable distribution stream with the help of Push. Push ties all application-specific communication to the user\'s wallet address, ensuring zero user friction and exponentially growing the client protocol\'s distribution.\\n\\n![Unlock Interoperable Communications with Push](./image3.webp)\\n\x3c!-- Push Interoperable Communications Slide --\x3e\\n\\n### Communication drives collaboration and engagement:\\n\\nNotifications delivered directly to users\' wallets enhance a DApp\'s brand recall by keeping it at the forefront of users\' minds. Users can interact with these notifications, enabling them to visit the DApp and view updates promptly.\\n\\nWhen more applications can reach out to their user\u2019s wallet, across multiple networks it opens new avenues for engagement, customer retention and brand building.\\n\\n![DApp Looker Integrating Push Notifications in platform frontend](./image4.webp)\\n\x3c!-- DApp Looker image --\x3e\\n\\n[DappLooker](https://dapplooker.com/): A no-code data analytics platform provides product and subscription related notifications. Users can enable / disable the notifications as per their wish via the platform.\\n\\n\\n## Benefits to User\\n\\n### 1. Wallet Address: A Universal Pass for Web3 Communication\\n\\nThe utility of a wallet address extends beyond simply being a social identifier or a key for facilitating transactions. It also acts as a hub for collecting, presenting and managing mission-critical communications.\\n\\n\\"Push\\n\x3c!-- Metamask Snap --\x3e\\n\\nThe [Push MetaMask Snap](https://snaps.metamask.io/snap/npm/pushprotocol/snap/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web) allows users to receive real-time notification alerts from their favourite web3 applications directly within their MetaMask wallet.\\n\\n### 2. No personal information needed:\\nPush fascilitates Native Integration with Wallet Addresses enabling communication between wallet addresses without needing personal information like email, social handles or cellular contact info.\\n\\n### 3.Security and Decentralized Communication:\\n\\nWith respect to communications, decentralization can be broken down into:\\n\\n1. Immutability of communication payloads/messages\\n2. Inability to censor content.\\n\\nPush maintains immutability and censorship resistance by encrypting mission critical communication payloads and messaging chats ensuring highest standards of communication security.\\n\\nPush powers wallet to wallet group chat with conditional gating form over **3.8 Million users** of [Unstoppable Domains](https://unstoppabledomains.com/) with over 300 groups made sofar.\\n\\n\x3c!-- UD chat image --\x3e\\n![Unstoppable Domains Chat and Notifications support integrated in platform frontend](./image6.webp)\\n\\nWith the onset of [Push Network](https://push.org/blog/explaining-push-nodes/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web) in Q4, the network will achieve its largest step in achieving complete network decentralization. Which in turn will activate slashing mechanisms to deter any nodes from censorship activities.\\n\\n## Communication Follows where wallet connects\\n\\nAcross multiple genres including, Gaming, DeFI, Governance and Wallets, Push enables multiple ways for the DApps to tap into the the protocol\u2019s Communication DA Layer (i.e Push Network) and extract notifications in a platform agnostic manner.\\n\\nFor instance, [Decentraland](https://decentraland.org/) users can choose to opt into and receive notifications into the platform frontend as well as receive the notifications directly into their Metamask Snap wallet.\\n\\n\x3c!-- Decentraland Image --\x3e\\n![Decentraland notification support integrated in platform frontend](./image7.webp)\\n\\nTo receive updates when of a new governance proposal from Shapeshift DAO, you can either choose to receive notifications directly in your [Shapeshift](https://shapeshift.com/wallets) wallet or perhaps any other wallet that integrates Push\u2019s open-source SDK.\\n\\n\\"Shapeshift\\n\x3c!-- shapeshift image --\x3e\\nAdditionally, users can experience updates from the following applications powered by Push, according to their convenience:\\n\\n- **[Push DApp](https://app.push.org/welcome?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web)**\\n- **[Push Browser Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/push-protocol-alpha/lbdcbpaldalgiieffakjhiccoeebchmg?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web)**\\n- **[Push Android App](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.epns.epns&hl=en_IN?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web)**\\n- **[Push iOS App](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/push-epns/id1528614910?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_open_web)**\\n\\n## Moving across an Open Web with Push\\n\\nWe believe communications is a public good and a bare necessity for a frictionless digital life. \\nThis also means that the means to provide communications and access them should not be limited to one or atmost two mediums.\\n\\nPush invented the communication network for web3 with a similar vision of enabling communication experiences unconstrained by chains. \\n\\n**A user of chain \'X\' should not only be able to communicate with other users and services on that chain but also with users and services on chain \'Y\' seamlessly, without added friction.**\\n\\nThis is how Push is pushing towards forming a universal communication network of web3 encompassing all networks ensuring you, as a user can move across the open web along with your communications with ease."},{"id":"how-to-create-your-community-on-push-chat","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-to-create-your-community-on-push-chat","source":"@site/blog/2024-07-04-how-to-create-your-community-on-push-chat/index.md","title":"How to create your community on Push Chat?","description":"How to create your community on Push Chat?","date":"2024-07-04T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 4, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Wallets","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/wallets"},{"label":"Push Chat","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-chat"}],"readingTime":2.9766666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"how-to-create-your-community-on-push-chat","title":"How to create your community on Push Chat?","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"How to create your community on Push Chat?","text":"Follow this guide to get started with building your first customizale - on-chain community on Push Chat.","tags":["Push Protocol","Web3","Wallets","Push Chat"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Interoperable communications: Moving across an open web with Push","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/interoperable-communications-moving-across-an-open-web-with-push"},"nextItem":{"title":"Case Study: How Wallets Use Push To Become a Super App?","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-wallets-use-push-to-become-a-super-app"}},"content":"![Cover image of blog - How to create your community on Push Chat?](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nCreating your on-chain community on Push Protocol is fairly easy.\\n\\nThis guide will walk you through the step by step process of creating your own vibrant community on Push Protocol, right from setting up a strong foundation to complete community formation.\\n\\nTo illustrate the journey, lets imagine a community dedicated to a captivating NFT collection known as \'**Charcoal Cats\ud83d\udc31**\'. In this guide we will show you, how to create a conditionally gated group chat exclusively for these Charcoal Cats admirers.\\n\\n\\nBuilding a strong online community takes more than just setting up a group chat. \\nBefore diving in to the group creation process, let\'s explore some key considerations to form a solid foundation of your community.\\n\\n### 1.Define your community\'s purpose \\n\\nMembers join and leave the communities, but what remains constant is the community\'s purpose.\\nFind out what common interests will unite your members? \\nFor Example : The \'Charcoal Cats\ud83d\udc31\' community is cult camp of charcoal cat NFT lovers. The access to the chat is restricted to only those wallets who hold \'Charcoal Cats\' NFT/s.\\n\\n### 2.Choose your community type\\n \\nDo you prefer a community which is more welcoming, open & visible to all (i.e Public Group Chats) or rather prefer to form a exclusive community which is only visible to the individuals who are invited, are a part of the community or satisfy the criteria to join it.\\n \\nPush enables both, Public and Private communities with the ability to establish gating conditions for **controlled access**.\\n\\nWith respect to our example, lets keep the Charcoal Cats a private community where-in the messages are encrypted and only visible upon successfully joining the group.\\n\\n\\n### 3.Decide: Open to all OR Conditionally Gated Group Chat\\n\\nGroupchats that do not impose any pre-requsite condition before joining the group can be termed as **open groupchats**.\\nFor instance, media oriented groupchats can be joined by anyone directly.\\n\\n**Conditionally Gated Chats**\\n\\nGroup chats that impose one or multiple conditions for users and allows only those users who satisfy these conditions are termed as **conditionally gated chats**.\\n\\n**Conditions are a series of criterias that can be applied for both, joining the group as well as for chatting in the group.**\\n\\n### Tailoring Access with \\"Any\\" or \\"All\\" Settings\\n\\nPush Protocol gives you further control by letting you define how users meet the set criteria. You can choose between:\\n\\n- **\'Any\' setting:** Here, users only need to meet one of the defined criteria to gain access. This allows for a more inclusive approach.\\n- **\'All\' setting:** This requires users to satisfy all the defined criteria, creating a more exclusive space.\\n\\nPush Chat provides the following settings to configure your gated chat group:\\n\\n\x3c!-- type of communities --\x3e\\n![Types of communities](./image1.webp)\\n\\n| Criteria | Description |\\n| --- | --- |\\n| ERC20 -Tokens | User needs to hold XX token to join the group |\\n| ERC721 - NFTs | User needs to hold XX NFT to join the group. |\\n| Invite | Both Owners and Admins can invite people to join the group. You can further customize invite privileges by specifying whether both Owner and Admin need to approve invites, or if either of them can do so independently. |\\n| Guild | Ability to set non-web3 native conditions using [Guild.xyz](https://guild.xyz/) |\\n| Custom Endpoint | URL provided for custom usecases. |\\n\\n\\nSo, are you ready to build your dream community?

With more than 120 wallet apps, the sheer innovation in onboarding the next Billion users into web3 is surreal.\\n\\nAlthough wallets are expanding their utility from simply being a medium of secure storage and a facilitator of transactions to now, becoming a *\u2018Super Hub\u2019* for NFT, DeFi, and app browsing activities, they still lack the ability to consistently relay updates and alerts between the user and the accessed protocol while maintaining a constant, symbiotic and duplex communication relationship.\\n\\nIn addition, multi-chain wallets serve as a single entry point for users to interact with applications across a variety of supported chains with ease. However, there is no standardized way for these apps to communicate back with users through the same entrance point i.e. your wallet.\\n\\n\\n## Solution\\n\\n**Push helps us solve these challenges.**\\n\\nWith the help of an open - decentralized and secure network supported across multiple chains, Push facilitates any wallet, DApp, service or smart contract to tap into the network and fetch notifications with ease.\\n\\nWith the motive of forming a universal communication layer of web3, Push Protocol is expanding its support to multiple chains including **Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, Arbitrum, Polygon zkEVM, Cyber and Fuse**.\\n\\nTo date, Push has sent over **80 Million Notifications** across **230k+ subscribers**.\\n\\n### Journey from Wallet to a Super App Wallet from our Partners: ###\\n\\nLets take a thorough look at how our partner wallets are adopting Push to become a Super App.\\n\\n\x3c!-- Interoperable Communications Image --\x3e\\n![Push enables interoperable communications](./image1.webp)\\n\\n\\n\\n1.

Verso Wallet\\n\\n\\n\\n### 1.Unstoppable Domains Lite Wallet\\n\\nUnstoppable Domain Wallets are cryptocurrency addresses used to store users\u2019 web3 domains in addition to tokens and digital collectables.\\nAn Unstoppable Wallet with a valid domain acts as a web3 social identifier for enabling domain-to-domain in-app messaging!\\n\\n**Push x UD: Empowering wallet-to-wallet messaging with ease!**\\n\\n\x3c!-- unstoppable lite wallet screen shot --\x3e\\n\x3c!-- ![Unstoppable Domains Lite Wallet](./image3.webp) --\x3e\\n\\"Unstoppable\\n\\n\\nPush is proud to enable the next frontier of inter-domain communication by powering notifications and messaging support for over **3.58 million** UD users across more than **300 group chats**.\\n\\n\\n**What type of users primarily use Unstoppable Lite Wallet?**\\n\\nThe primary user of Unstoppable Lite Wallet are people with domains. The self-custody wallet is designed specifically for domainers, so they can manage and interact with their domains directly from the wallet in addition to traditional crypto tokens. This is a use case that has not been addressed by other wallets.\\n\\n**How does Unstopppable Lite Wallet ensure smooth UX and Communication?**\\n\\nMany of the Unstopppable Lite Wallet users are new to web3, so an intuitive and easy to use experience are essential. Inline education and clear messages help new users understand what can be a difficult learning curve.\\n\\n\\n**How does Push fit into the overall strategic goals of Unstoppable Lite Wallet?**\\n\\nMessaging is built directly into Unstoppable Lite Wallet. Push Protocol enables token gated group chat. Messaging is built directly into Unstoppable Lite Wallet.\\n\\nAs Push Protocol enables wallet to wallet token gated group chatting, depending on domains and badges, users have access to various conditionally gated group chats where they can engage with others.\\n\\n\\n\\n**Overcoming seed phrase scares using MPC**\\n\\nThe unstoppable lite wallet features advanced multi-party computation (MPC) technology provided by Fireblocks to improve safety for the self-custody wallet. Users are able to manage their wallet using an email address and password, instead of worrying about seed phrases. There is also a way to recover the wallet if the user forgets their password, adding another layer of safety.\\n\\n### 2.Metamask Snap\\n\\nMetaMask Snaps are independent feature plugins developed by third-party developers to enhance wallet experiences in areas such as communication, interoperability, security, account management, and more, for various web3 protocols and applications.\\n\\nThe Push MetaMask Snap allows users to receive real-time notification alerts from their favourite Web3 applications directly within their MetaMask wallet.\\n\\n**Push X Metamask: Unlocking a Super App experience**\\n\\n\x3c!-- metamsk snap screenshot --\x3e\\n\x3c!-- ![Push Metamask Snap](./image2.webp) --\x3e\\n\\"Push\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nMetamask being a widely popular wallet and often the first choice for many new web3 users, was crucial to integrate with Push\u2019s capabilities. The launch of the snap functionality provided an opportunity to offer a communication experience akin to web2 applications.\\n\\nThe [Push Metamask Snap](https://snaps.metamask.io/snap/npm/pushprotocol/snap/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=case_study_supper_app) was launched in September 2023 and continues to see steady growth with over **1.7k downloads.**\\n\\nThe Push Snap is positioned at a crucial intersection in a user\u2019s DApp interaction journey through their wallet. \\n\\nInstead of frequently visiting a DApp to check the status of domain expiry or loan health indexes, Push Snap eliminates these kinds of unproductive user travels. \\n\\nUsing Push Snap, every mission-critical alert is delivered directly to the wallet as a Push Notification, providing an experience similar to a typical Web2 mobile app.\\n\\n### 3.ShapeShift Wallet\\n\\n[Shapeshift](https://app.shapeshift.com/) is an open-source multi-chain platform, offering various DeFi services. The Shapeshift wallet is a community-governed, private, non-custodial wallet that supports multiple chains and assists users in managing their portfolio and DeFi positions.\\n\\n**Push x ShapeShift Wallet : Powering Communication**\\n\\n\x3c!-- shapeshift wallet screenshot --\x3e\\n\x3c!-- ![Shapeshift Wallet](./image4.webp) --\x3e\\n\\"Shapeshift\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPush powers the communication middleware for enabling Push notifications for product updates, governance updates and token transfers. \\n\\nPush powers the necessary middleware and infrastructure for [Wherever](https://www.wherever.im/), a third-party communications service to show notifications in wallet and platform frontend as well as share with the user\u2019s telegram and email.\\n\\nOn a parallel front, As users continue to become mature and conscious about on-chain security, the demand for hardware wallets will be ever-increasing. Push can also be integrated with companion Apps of Hardware Wallets like [KeepKay](https://www.keepkey.com/), ensuring user\u2019s with mission critical application updates independant of any wallet type.\\n\\nShapeShift has remained the second most subscribed channel for over a year, with a total subscriber count of more than **28,000** with a growth of more than **306%** as compared to previous year.\\n\x3c!-- shapeshift subscriber count --\x3e\\n![Shapeshift subscriber statistics](./image5.webp)\\n\\n\\n### 4.Verso Wallet:\\n\\n[Verso Wallet](https://get-verso.com/) is a non-custodial multi-chain wallet for gaming, NFT,defi, meme coins and cash backs.\\n\\nVerso bridges Web2 audiences to Web3 by enabling in-wallet crypto purchases using credit cards or bank transfers. Verso also facilitates the purchase of gift cards with crypto and provides crypto reward cashback.\\n\\n**Push x Verso Wallet : Manage all your notifications in one place**\\n\\nThe Push x Verso integration enables users to search for and opt-into any channel and receive notifications directly into the wallet. Ensuring the fact that the communications across all subscribed channels can be managed and organized easily in one place with ease!\\n\\n### Push is the missing piece for building the next Super Wallet App\ud83e\udde9:\\n\\n![Push is the missing piece of web3 wallets](./image6.webp)\\n\\n\\nAs Web3 continues to mature, user experience will be the key differentiator for wallets vying to become the go-to **\\"Super App\u201d**.

Leveraging the power of Arbitrum\'s scalable, fast, and secure Layer 2 solutions, Push notifications enable real-time alerts for various blockchain activities such as transaction confirmations, governance proposals, DeFi updates, and NFT drops.\\r\\n\\r\\nSo what else is there to know and get excited about? Let\u2019s dive in.\\r\\n\\r\\n### Arbitrum x Push Protocol - Revolutionizing Decentralized Interaction \\r\\n\\r\\nSince our mainnet launch in January 2022, Push has emerged as the go-to communication layer for over 700+ of the world\'s leading dApps on [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/), [Polygon](https://polygon.technology/), [BNB Chain](https://www.bnbchain.org/), [Polygon zkEVM](https://polygon.technology/polygon-zkevm), [Linea](https://linea.build/) and other blockchains.\\r\\n\\r\\nNow, we\u2019re expanding our privacy-centric communication product suite to the leading Layer 2 scaling solution on Ethereum, Arbitrum. With over [45.1% of the Ethereum Layer-2](https://www.ccn.com/news/crypto/ethereum-l2-arbitrum-base/#:~:text=It%20boasts%20a%20market%20share,a%20TVL%20of%20%247.93b.) market share and a TVL of over $15.42 Billion \u2013 Arbitrum provides some of the best tools for building scalable dApps on Ethereum and has an incredibly active user-base (with 971M in total DeFi transactions across 1.6M active wallets as of June 2024).\\r\\n\\r\\nAs such, what makes this integration so exciting is the potential utility and enhancement possibilities. Leveraging Push Notifications, Chat, and Video, we look forward to integrating with leading Arbitrum dApps to enhance how dApps and users interact.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe best part of our integration: multi-chain communication. As we continue to expand our blockchain integrations, we open the door to better interoperability between users on different chains. This enhanced user-experience means fewer compromises in the way of interaction and engagement for users, and as a result, better adoption and user-stickiness. All this utility is driven by the communication infrastructure of Push Protocol.\\r\\n\\r\\n### Push x Arbitrum: What to Expect\\r\\n\\r\\nWith the arrival of Push Protocol communication protocol, dApps and protocols on Arbitrum can begin building with web3-native notifications, chat, video, and spaces functionality. Here\u2019s what you can build with each of these communication tools:\\r\\n\\r\\n1. \ud83d\udd14Push Notifications: Send and receive updates from your favorite Arbitrum dApps directly into your wallet \u2013 enabling DeFi, News, NFT projects to share updates and alerts faster.\\r\\n2. \ud83d\udcacPush Chat + Group Chat: Enable wallet-to-wallet and wallet-to-dApp instant chat functionality \u2013 opening the door to social media platforms, customer service tools, and other social interaction enhancements.\\r\\n3. \ud83d\udcf9Push Video and Space: Face-to-face video chat directly on blockchain \u2013 introducing all-new interactivity on social dApps and live-streaming.\\r\\n\\r\\nExcitingly, we\u2019ve deployed the most up to date smart contracts of Push, [Push V2](https://push.org/blog/push-v2-is-live-new-rewards-utility-and-functionality/), on Arbitrum. Carrying over all the developments we\u2019ve launched so far, Customized Profiles, settings for [Notification Channels](https://push.org/blog/introducing-notification-settings/), and notification integration with [MetaMask](https://push.org/blog/deep-dive-into-push-snaps-features-and-getting-started-all-the-technical-specifications-and-getting-started-tips-you-need/).\\r\\n\\r\\nFor builders \u2013 all new ways to engage your users and provide a stickier, more personalized user-experience are here.

This week, Estate Protocol is joining us, the leading tokenized real estate marketplace on the Arbitrum blockchain. \\r\\n\\r\\n[Estate Protocol](https://www.estateprotocol.com/) is bridging the gap between the tangible world of real estate and the boundless possibilities of the digital world by tokenizing real-world real estate, transforming properties into fractionalized digital assets through blockchain technology, ensuring security, transparency, and efficiency.\\r\\n\\r\\nBy way of this collaboration, Push assists Estate Protocol in notifying users directly on their wallets. Users can subscribe to receive notifications about new property listings, rent collection updates, and other important news. This integration ensures that users are always informed about the latest developments and opportunities within the platform, enhancing their overall experience.\\r\\n\\r\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, Parv Prabhakar, CEO of Estate Protocol, joins us to talk about how the collaboration between Push Protocol and Estate Protocol can potentially disrupt real estate investing.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n### Hi Parv, what\u2019s your story? How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\r\\n\\r\\nI have a research and crypto background. I\u2019ve been using digital currency in some form since I was 12 years old and was playing zynga poker on facebook selling chips for real money. \\r\\n\\r\\nI got into crypto shortly after, buying my first bitcoin on local bitcoins. I then got deeper and deeper into the tech and the finance side of it, developing arbitrage strategies. Did that across platforms and payment methods for a couple of years, and then started traveling the world and discovered cross-country strategies. Did a 300x during the 2021 bull run with delta neutral bets.\\r\\n\\r\\nI was also into writing at this time, and this Dutch art collective asked me to write an essay going into NFTs in detail about 3 years ago, during the research for it it hit me that this technology is perfect for digitizing ownership in real estate. So I started researching about how to make it happen alongside my job as a guest writer for India\u2019s biggest crypto exchange WazirX, wrote the white paper for Estate Protocol, got some peers to review and advice, and then quit the job to build this full time. The business evolved way past using NFTs too.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe time with Estate Protocol since then has been incredible. We tokenized the first properties in Dubai, and are working on many new innovations in the space. \\r\\n\\r\\n### Tell us about Estate Protocol \u2014 what\u2019s it about and what problem does it solve?\\r\\n\\r\\nEstate Protocol is changing the global real estate market by leveraging blockchain and UK trust law to tokenize assets, and stablecoins to facilitate seamless cross-border transactions. We tokenize the world\u2019s most in demand real estate, fractionalize the ownership, and make it a part of DeFi in a compliant manner. We would soon enable lending/borrowing, and bring large REITs on the platform.\\r\\n\\r\\n### What\u2019s the 2024 plan for Estate Protocol and its ecosystem? \\r\\n\\r\\nWe are working on bringing the world\u2019s best real estate on chain. As crypto natives, we would also be making it compatible with DeFi as far as possible. There are also some exciting partnerships currently being worked on! \\r\\n\\r\\n### How is the Estate Protocol using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\r\\n\\r\\nEstate Protocol utilizes Push\u2019s web3 communication layer to notify our users directly on their wallets. Users can [subscribe](https://app.push.org/channels/0x2A43cB483361FB5b3a09Bd11c24CbEE5cf1BE7Ca) to receive notifications about new property listings, rent collection updates, and other important news. This integration ensures that our users are always informed about the latest developments and opportunities within our platform, enhancing their overall experience.\\r\\n\\r\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\r\\n\\r\\nOur experience with Push has been positive. While it\u2019s early days since our integration, we anticipate significant improvements in user engagement and satisfaction. The ability to send timely and relevant updates directly to users\u2019 wallets is a powerful tool, and we expect to see increased interaction and responsiveness from our community as a result.\\r\\n\\r\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\r\\n\\r\\nIn the future, we plan to leverage Push\u2019s chat feature to facilitate communication among investors in specific properties. This will enable token holders to discuss potential investments, share insights, and engage in general discussions related to real estate. By fostering a collaborative community, we believe this feature will add significant value to our platform and enhance the investment experience for our users.\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\n\\r\\nThanks, Parv for the awesome conversation. Looking forward to revolutionizing web3 communication together with Estate Protocol!\\r\\n\\r\\n### About Estate Protocol:\\r\\n\\r\\nEstate Protocol tokenizes real real estate and bridges the gap between real-world assets and the digital world through blockchain.

We sent out more than **6 Million** notifications in April reaching a cumulative **74 Million notifications** since the launch and 177K subscribers. The Push journey continues to gain momentum. Here\u2019s a recap of what happened:\\n\\n## Product Updates:\\n\\nWe\'ve made significant strides in our development journey. We successfully deployed our [React Native SDK](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pushprotocol/react-native-sdk) on NPM, simplifying the process for developers to access it. We\'ve also rolled out improved notification settings on app stores, allowing for a more customized user experience.\\n\\nIn our SDK, we introduced a new **ChatWidget** component and broadened our blockchain support to include **Berachain** and **Polygon Amoy**.\\n\\nOur website has been enhanced with a fresh landing page for the [Billion Reasons to Build (BRB) Bootcamp]( https://push.org/bootcamp/), and we\'ve enhanced the footer for smoother navigation. \\n\\nWe\'re steadily advancing with new blockchain integrations that are currently under review. We\'ve streamlined our channel addition process by separating it from IPFS, among other improvements. We\'re in the process of developing support for SCW wallets on our Push SDK.\\n\\n\\nOur research on the Cross Chain Feature, which enables Ethereum and Layer 2 requests, has been completed and its development is underway. The **Push Governance** contract has been redesigned to align with the updated OpenZeppelin governance structure. We\'ve managed to reduce the Smart Contract size by 30% and optimize gas fees for key functions like channel creation.\\n\\n## Partnership Updates\\n\\nWe\'re thrilled to announce new partnerships with amazing projects including [Vurse](https://twitter.com/vurse_official/status/1782414484700533169), [Rivo](https://www.rivo.xyz/), [Estate Protocol](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1778091601597960326), and [Pistachio Fi](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1780266671783194989) to integrate notifications and messaging.

We hosted a Push Video Contest asking the community to share their experience with Push Protocol. Rewarded the ultra-rare first **\u201cPush Chad\\"** role. We held an **AMA** with [Berachain](https://www.berachain.com/) - a modular EVM-compatible L1 blockchain.

In our ambassador program, we welcomed two new members for Push Protocol in the Spanish Ambassadors community and opened up five additional spots for the Push Protocol Indian Ambassadors community. We\'ve also submitted a proposal \\"[Billion Reasons to Build, Bangkok](https://forum.devcon.org/t/billion-reasons-to-build-bangkok-sea-web3-builders/3482?u=richa_joshi)\\" to host a builder-centric event at [Devcon 2024](https://devcon.org/en/), aimed at celebrating, engaging, and supporting developers.\\n\\n\\nIn other exciting news, we managed to pass three key votes for the BD subDAO, Grants subDAO, and the DAO Council. This significant achievement has paved the way for the launch of our subDAOs on the first of June. With this, we are thrilled to introduce the community-led Push Grants V3. This new initiative opens up a world of opportunities for grantees to contribute and vote, marking an exciting new phase for Push Grants V3. Our Push DAO V2 Proposal caught the attention of the [Messari](https://messari.io/) and was featured there.

This week, we\'re joined by Roseon, a leading AI-powered cryptocurrency exchange.\\n\\nRoseon is the ultimate crypto ecosystem prioritizing user experience and gamification. It includes RoseonX, an AI-driven exchange with a modular architecture, and DeFi SuperApp, a one-stop mobile crypto app. With over 330K+ users and a global reach of 750K, it aims to boost crypto adoption and optimize investments.\\n\\nBy way of this collaboration, Push helps Roseon keep its users in the loop by sending important updates like order executions & liquidation directly to their wallets, [RoseonX Notification Channel](http://app.push.org/channels/0xcBEBcCCF0B846C686D68c4D9EDA95fb17a7eedaE). Roseon is also working on adding Push notifications to RoseonX, so users can get updates right on the platform.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, Elle - Marketing Executive at Roseon joins us to talk about how the collaboration between Push and Roseon has the potential to change the way we communicate in web3.\\n\\n**1. Hi Elle, what\u2019s your story? How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What are you working on now?**\\n\\nHello everyone, this is Elle, and I work as Marketing Exec at Roseon. My fascination with blockchain and cryptography sparked in 2021, and it truly felt like stepping into a whole new world. Fast forward to today, and I\u2019m thrilled to be part of the incredible team at Roseon. Who would\'ve thought that my curiosity would lead me here? Life works in mysterious ways, doesn\'t it?\\n\\n**2. Tell us about Roseon Exchange \u2014 what\u2019s it about and what problem does Roseon solve?**\\n\\nRoseonX is an AI-powered exchange with Modular Architecture. So, to give you the full story, it all started with the goal of bridging the gap between CeFi and DeFi, making crypto easily accessible. Our first mobile crypto app, RoseonApp, boasts over 300,000 registered users, with a peak of 20,000 daily active users. We were proud to be ranked among the Top 9 stars in BNB Chain Web3 Stars Accelerator Vietnam.\\n\\nFueled by our visionary spirit, we made a strategic decision to pivot and delve into the development of our second product, RoseonX - initially a Gamified Derivatives DEX. Our approach embraces gamification, injecting a fresh level of engagement, fun, and excitement into crypto earning, trading, and DeFi in general. More recently, our whitepaper has evolved with the integration of AI, Copy Trading, and the Strategy Vault, transforming RoseonX into an AI Powered Exchange with Modular Architecture. This leap is geared towards enhancing the overall user experience in trading and other DeFi activities. Coupled with a friendly UI/UX, our aim is to drive mass adoption of our platform.\\n\\nWe\'re thrilled about the direction RoseonX is taking, and we\'re excited to bring this innovative approach to the world of crypto and DeFi.\\n\\n**3. What\u2019s the 2024 plan for Roseon Exchange and its ecosystem?**\\n\\nOur primary aim is to bring our new roadmap to life, complete with the AI Layer, Copy Trade, Strategy Vault, and more, as well as the official release of RoseonX.\\n\\n**4. How is the Roseon Exchange using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?**\\n\\nAt present, RoseonX users stay informed about updates through the Push feature by opting into [RoseonX channels](http://app.push.org/channels/0xcBEBcCCF0B846C686D68c4D9EDA95fb17a7eedaE). We\'re also in the process of integrating Push directly into RoseonX, allowing users to receive notifications right within our DEX.\\n\\n**5. How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?**\\n\\nWe\'ve had community members share how the Push feature has been really helpful for them, as it keeps them directly informed through their MetaMask wallet.\\n\\n**6. What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?**\\n\\nI\'m genuinely excited about the Push chat between wallets. It\'s such a cool feature, especially with all the functionalities like group chat, video calls, spaces, and streaming. This feature has the potential to bring a whole new level of interaction and convenience to users, and I can\'t wait to see it in action.\\n\\n---\\n\\nThanks, Elle for the awesome conversation.

This week, our fren is QuickSwap, the leading DEX & AMM on Polygon.\\n\\nQuickSwap is the leading DEX on Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Dogechain that\u2019s fully decentralized and community-driven, building a comprehensive suite of DeFi products called the DragonFi ecosystem. It\u2019s renowned for its high-performance, cost-efficient DeFi platforms, and pioneering role in onboarding new users and capital to the broader Polygon ecosystem.\\n\\nBy way of this collaboration, Push provides QuickSwap with the infrastructure to facilitate its users by alerting users to swap events and changing token prices, as well as for V3 liquidity alerts. QuickSwap relies on Push\u2019s communication layer to deliver in-app notifications while ensuring a decentralized relay and storage.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, Roc, Founder [@QuickSwapDEX](https://twitter.com/QuickSwapDEX), joins us to talk about how the collaboration between Push and QuickSwap has the potential to disrupt web3 communication.\\n\\n
\\n\\n### Hi Roc, what\u2019s your story? How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\n\\nRoc: I\u2019ve been around the Web3 space for a long time \u2013 since the early days of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. As a libertarian, Bitcoin was my first love so to speak. As an elegant solution to an age-old monetary dilemma that has plagued humanity, I was on board and extremely interested right away.\\n\\nHowever, as the Web3 industry has grown and evolved around Bitcoin, my interests have evolved as well in the years since I discovered Bitcoin. Today, I see the power of decentralized systems as being capable of resolving far more problems than just sound money. The power of decentralized finance to free up dormant capital, vastly improve capital efficiency, and provide individuals across the world with a more level playing field and opportunities to invest and capitalize on their skills excites me very much.\\n\\nToday, I am leading Lunar Digital Assets (LDA), a premier marketing agency and incubator that helps rising Web3 projects to get the most out of their technology. We specialize in brand building, narrative formation, and effective marketing strategies. QuickSwap is one of our long-time clients, and we go way back with the team at Polygon Labs, too. At LDA, We see a great deal of promise in the ecosystem being developed in Polygon 2.0, and we are positioning QuickSwap to be a key player in all things Polygon DeFi. Keep an eye on us!\\n\\n### Tell us about QuickSwap \u2014 what\u2019s it about and what problem does QuickSwap solve?\\n\\nRoc: QuickSwap is the premier DeFi suite on Polygon, bar none. Since the infamous 2020 DeFi wave, QuickSwap has been committed to providing Web3 users of all demographics with the simplest, most intuitive user experience possible. On this accord, QuickSwap has served as an evangelizing force for Polygon\u2019s scalability stack, in the mission to drive down costs and transaction times. More recently, QuickSwap has acted as a first mover deploying on Polygon\u2019s latest high-performance chain, zkEVM as well.\\n\\nWith QuickSwap, whether you\u2019re looking to swap, stake, and farm on a lightning-fast DEX or trade high-stakes perpetual contracts, you know you\u2019re going to get the best of everything. The latest features, the slickest user experience, the lowest fees, and of course, true decentralization. Between the QuickSwap DAO\u2019s governance votes and discussions, and Polygon\u2019s decentralized architecture, users no longer have to choose between high-performance decentralized systems and user-friendly UIs \u2013 with QuickSwap, it\u2019s the best of everything, all in one place.\\n\\n### How do developers use QuickSwap?\\n\\nRoc: Developers are free and welcome to explore QuickSwap\u2019s documentation and to connect with the team to send in suggestions, new ideas, and business development proposals. QuickSwap has been integrating new technologies on a monthly basis for years now \u2013 not to mention integrating QuickSwap\u2019s platforms on new and rising Polygon CDK chains. For the technical folks out there, go right ahead and check out [QuickSwap\u2019s GitHub](https://github.com/QuickSwap/quickswap-docs). \\n\\n### What\u2019s the 2024 plan for QuickSwap and its ecosystem? \\n\\nRoc: I\u2019m glad you asked! QuickSwap released its plans for DragonFi 2.0 in December 2023, and I have to say: that the project has been delivering right on schedule. QuickSwap\u2019s DragonFi 2.0 initiative focuses on deploying the QuickSwap DeFi suite \u2013 a QuickSwap Citadel, as it\u2019s called \u2013 to as many newly arriving Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit) chains as possible. The mission is simple: to become the dominant DeFi force on Polygon 2.0, and eventually, to conquer the entire Web3 DeFi scene as the go-to homebase for ultra-high-performance, ultra-low-cost, ultra-liquid\u2026.well, you get it.\\n\\nThis year, QuickSwap has stayed true to its word, deploying Citadels on a number of new Polygon chains, including zkAstar, Immutable zkEVM, and Manta Pacific. The movement is underway, and QuickSwap\u2019s user base and key metrics are growing every week.\\n\\n### How is QuickSwap using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nRoc: At present, QuickSwap is using the Push communication layer to alert users as to swap events, and changing token prices, as well as for V3 liquidity alerts \u2013 for instance, when a user\u2019s liquidity falls out of range.\\n\\nBut there\u2019s a lot more in the works and on the way. Already, QuickSwap has plans to leverage the Push communication layer to keep users informed with a range of new notifications, including those related to perpetual contracts, limit order and TWAP limit order execution, new farm and bond deployment, and the conclusion and closure of various farming opportunities. There\u2019s a lot to look forward to in the world of QuickSwap \u2013 thanks to the whole team over at Push.\\n\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nRoc: Above all, Push is super user-friendly and intuitive. As a project fully committed to delivering a best-in-class user experience, QuickSwap is of the opinion that using Web3 ecosystems should be as simple as possible. Otherwise, onboarding ain\u2019t happening. On that thread, setting up notifications should be just as easy as receiving them. Thankfully, Push has absolutely nailed it in the communications department and is setting up a much-needed set of communications tooling and services.\\n\\nFor QuickSwap, that means improving user experience for traders is easier than ever before \u2013 you might call it the best user experience experience on the market!\\n\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nRoc: As the world continues to migrate to the on-chain domain, notifications will become absolutely necessary built-in features \u2013 especially for Layer 1 transactions that necessarily involve some degree of latency. Transaction confirmations aren\u2019t the only examples \u2013 as SocialFi expands, on-chain identity tooling picks up traction, and payment rails integrate digital assets, notifications will become essential for users to utilize decentralized systems and their native assets with confidence. Push is standing at the very frontier of digital innovation \u2013 right alongside QuickSwap, that is!\\n\\n### What is your take on the future of DeFi on Polygon and how QuickSwap plans to leverage it?\\n\\nRoc: In the QuickSwap community, everyone is very, very excited about the interoperable Polygon 2.0 ecosystem that is beginning to take form. Simply put, the ease of deployment provided by Polygon CDK and the immense benefits that chains and their users are reaping from unified liquidity and seamless interoperability is going to revolutionize what is possible in Web3.\\n\\nIn the Layer 2 race, QuickSwap is proud to be utilizing the next generation of rising Polygon technologies, yet again. The project invites new users, developer teams, and other enthusiasts from around the space to check out Web3\u2019s most epic scalability stack yet for themselves!\\n\\n\\n

However, fostering strong communication and community engagement in these fast-paced ecosystems can be a challenge.\\n\\n[Push Protocol](https://push.org/) emerges as a game-changer, offering a secure and scalable solution for DeFi and NFT brands to connect with their user base effectively. Let\'s delve into how Push Protocol empowers these brands in two key areas: sending notifications and managing communities.\\n\\n### Seamless Notification Delivery:\\n\\nGone are the days of unreliable social media notifications and clunky email lists. Push Protocol enables DeFi and NFT brands to deliver real-time, secure notifications directly to users\' crypto wallets. This ensures critical updates, price fluctuations, governance proposals, and exclusive announcements reach your audience instantly.\\n\\n**Benefits of Push Protocol Notifications:**\\n\\n- **Increased User Engagement:**\xa0Real-time updates keep users informed and involved, fostering a more active and engaged community around your DeFi or NFT project.\\n Think of [Lido](https://lido.fi/), broadcasting regular reward updates to its users who have staked various tokens!\\n\\n- **Improved Transparency:**\xa0Ensure users are always in the loop with critical announcements and governance proposals delivered directly to their wallets.\\n\\nFor instance, DAOs like [BitDAO](https://www.mantle.xyz/) can send any new proposal alerts staright to the voting member\'s wallet address.\\n\\n- **Enhanced User Experience:**\xa0Streamline communication by eliminating the need for users to constantly check social media or email for updates.\\n\\nDefi Protocol\'s like the [Angle Protocol](https://app.push.org/channels/0xA2dEe32662F6243dA539bf6A8613F9A9e39843D3?utm_source=Dapp&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=amplify_upgrade) leverages Push, to notify its subscriber users with periodic position status updates!\\n\\n**Here\'s how Push Protocol notifications work in action:**\\n\\n- DeFi platforms like [Aave](https://app.push.org/channels/0xAA940b3501176af328423d975C350d0d1BaAae50?utm_source=Dapp&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=amplify_upgrade) send real-time health factor warning alerts to their users, helping them avoid liquidation risks.\\n\\n- NFT marketplaces or communities can notify its users about upcoming drops or exclusive minting opportunities.\\n Similar to the [Pudgy Penguin\'s Unstopabble Domains token gated group chat](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1777929898784444842?utm_source=google&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=amplify_upgrade) powered by Push Protocol.\\n\\nBy leveraging Push Protocol notifications, DeFi and NFT brands can create a more informed and responsive user base, ultimately leading to a stronger and more successful ecosystem.\\n\\n\\n**Want to AMPLIFY\ud83d\udd0a your insights on Push\'s latest upgrades in areas of new Protocol features, Decentralization, and Tokenomics?

It seamlessly integrates token gating, allowing access only to holders of your specific NFT. This fosters an exclusive space for discussions and collaboration.\\n\\nBut it doesn\'t stop there!\\nPush Protocol\'s partnership with [Guild.xyz](https://guild.xyz/explorer) allows you to define additional access tiers within the chat using Guild roles. Imagine VIP channels for early adopters or dedicated areas for high-volume traders.\\n\\nPlus, integration with [Unstoppable Domains](https://unstoppabledomains.com/) lets users join using their human-readable addresses (like **yourname.nft**) for a smooth and familiar experience. This revamped group chat empowers you to cultivate a thriving NFT community with targeted communication and a strong sense of belonging.\\n\\n![Push Chat Infographic](./image1.webp \'Easily create and manage our NFT communities with Push Chat\')\\n\\n\x3c!-- push group chat diagram --\x3e\\n\\n## Push for Web 3 Builders\\n\\n### Push Nodes & Validation:\\n\\nThe Push Network will comprise three different types of Nodes. This includes:\\n\\n- **Validator nodes** - Batching notifications into blocks, validating them, and providing all the required APIs for SDK.\\n- **Storage nodes** - Indexing notifications.\\n- **Delivery nodes** - Sending notifications to the end-user device based on his/her 0xwallet, not his/her hardware credentials.\\n\\nThe network is guarded by a smart contract to maintain node staking and slashing. This is where the [**_`$PUSH`_**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH at Coinmarketcap.com\') token is used.\\n\\n![Push Delivery Nodes infograpic](./image2.webp \'Push Delivery Nodes\')\\n\\n\x3c!-- delivery node reused graphic --\x3e\\n\\n### Push DAO - A Decentralized Push Protocol Powerhouse:\\n\\n[Push DAO](https://gov.push.org/) is a community-run organization built by Push Protocol enthusiasts. Its goal is to scale Push Protocol\'s usage and ecosystem. Over time, it will evolve to fully govern Push Protocol\'s present and future.\\n\\n**How it Works:**\\n\\n- The DAO operates through subDAOs (sub-organizations) with specific functions:\\n - **Business Development (BD) subDAO:**\xa0Focuses on growth initiatives for Push Protocol.\\n - **Grants subDAO:**\xa0Manages community grants and future Push ecosystem grants.\\n - **Push Council:**\xa0Oversees budgets for all subDAOs and the DAO itself.\\n- Anyone can propose Push Improvement Proposals (PIPs) to improve the protocol.\\n- Initiatives are voted on and implemented seasonally (monthly or quarterly).\\n\\n**The Takeaway:**\\n\\nPush DAO is a community-driven force, empowering Push Protocol\'s growth and future direction.\\n\\n## Tokenomics\\n\\n[**_`$PUSH`_**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH at Coinmarketcap.com\') is the native token of the Push Network and it will be used to enable several key functions of the network apart from the already existing utilities defined in the current tokenomics.\\n\\n1. **Staking for Push Validator Nodes**\\n Push Validator Nodes are going to be the computational backbone of the Push Network. They will be responsible for validating the network and ensuring that the network is secure and reliable. They are also responsible for penalizing and kicking out bad actors from the network.\\n\\nRunning a Push Validator Node will require staking a certain amount of [**_`$PUSH`_**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH at Coinmarketcap.com\') tokens along with having a domain name and a server to run the node.\\n\\n2. **Staking for Push Storage Nodes**\\n Push Storage Nodes are meant to store the data of the Push Network. They will be responsible for storing the data of the network and ensuring that the data is available to the network.\\n\\nRunning a Push Storage Node will also require staking a certain amount of [**_`$PUSH`_**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH at Coinmarketcap.com\').\\n\\n3. **Staking for Push Delivery Nodes**\\n Push Delivery Nodes serve as a light node that enables the last mile delivery of notifications to the end users.

We achieved some significant milestones that we\u2019re excited to share with you.\\n\\nWe sent out over 4 million notifications and reached 174,000 subscribers. But our journey doesn\u2019t stop here. Let\u2019s dive into the exciting updates for March from the Push Ecosystem:\\n\\n### Partnership Updates\\n\\nWe\u2019ve seen a surge in clients integrating our notifications and messaging services. Some of our notable partners include [Verso Wallet](https://get-verso.com/), [DEXYNTH](https://www.dexynth.com/), [Outposts](https://outposts.io/), [Bitget](https://twitter.com/bitgetglobal), [AlphaX](https://alphax.finance/), [Arbitrum](https://arbitrum.foundation/), [RoseonX](https://roseon.world/), and many more. They\u2019ve all integrated Push notifications and chat into their platforms.\\n\\nIn addition, we partnered with the [LearnWeb3IO](https://learnweb3.io/) hackathon to support future builders.\\n\\n### Product Enhancements\\n\\nWe introduced the Push [MetaMask Snooze Snap](https://app.push.org/?/snap), which allows users to snooze notifications for up to 72 hours. This feature helps users manage their notifications at their own pace.We introduced a \'guest\' mode on our dApp, making it easier than ever to explore Push without connecting your wallet\\n\\nWe also benchmarked our [Push Chat Architecture](https://push.org/blog/benchmarking-push-chat-message/) to make Push Chat work more efficiently. We launched the [Price Tracker Channel](https://www.notion.so/Push-x-Berachain-Spaces-Creative-Changes-5756710613b74055baa39ba4d534fe33?pvs=21) to help users get notified directly when their chosen cryptocurrency hits their desired price target.\\n\\n### Community Engagement\\n\\nWe\u2019ve been actively engaging with our vibrant community through various initiatives. We hosted a demo session for Push Nodes and awarded Push Alpha access NFT to over 700 users.\\n\\nOur \u201cDecentralize with Push Campaign\u201d led to the acquisition of more than 4,200 new users. We also unveiled [Tokenomics V2](https://push.org/blog/push-tokenomics-v2-engine/) for the $PUSH token.\\n\\nTo celebrate the listing of the $PUSH token on the Bitget Global exchange, we ran a quest campaign. We also announced the ultra-rare role \u201cPush Chad\u201d for our community.\\n\\n### Ecosystem Highlights\\n\\nIn March, we featured ETH Gas Price Tracker, [CryptoJobsList](https://cryptojobslist.com/), [Aave](https://aave.com/), and [Bankless](https://www.bankless.com/) as the Push Channel of the Week.\\n\\n### DAO\\n\\nWe launched the Push Grants V3 initiative to support builders in the Push Ecosystem. We also welcomed [Ian](https://twitter.com/ExpatCrypto3) as our new DAO Relations Lead and [Carla](https://twitter.com/carlaupgrade) as our Community DAO Relations role for push_dao.\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited about the progress we\u2019ve made and look forward to what the future holds for the Push Ecosystem.

An all-new decentralized infrastructure for web3\u2019s leading communication layer, the Push Protocol Network.\\n\\nThis new and improved decentralized infrastructure for Push is a long-awaited move that we\u2019re only now executing thanks to extensive research and development.\\n\\nSo what does this new decentralized infrastructure look like?\\n\\nIn this article, we\'ll explore:\\n\\n- What is decentralization in web3 and how will the new Push Network look\\n- Exploring types of nodes and explanation of Push Nodes\\n- Why is it necessary\\n\\n### Understanding Different Types of Decentralization - Which Will Push Become\\n\\nDecentralization can mean different things depending who you ask because it is a very complex topic that can exist in many different forms and structures. This is why many modern blockchains and protocols have tight discussions on what it means to be fully decentralized.\\n\\nSo to begin with, we\u2019ll explore the different types of architecture at a high level as a way of best communicating what Push is working towards\\n\\nClient-Server \u2013 Linear system
\\nDistributed \u2013 Different nodes hold different responsibilities and contribute to one another
\\nPeer-toPeer \u2013 Data is passed directly from user to user with no intermediaries
\\nDecentralized \u2013 Collective and shared control over data and decision making
\\n\\n![First Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nAs we\u2019ve outlined in the image above, Push is moving towards the right. A fully decentralized network wherein no single node or entity has complete control of the network. Access is open and shared.\\n\\nKeep in mind, decentralization can also be applied at different layers of an organization. Just as you can decentralize software architecture, you too can decentralize teams and organizational structures (DAOs).\\n\\nWhile the Push Network already has a DAO and $PUSH token, we are now taking the final step towards decentralization by decentralizing our software architecture, completing what you might call \u2018full stack decentralization\u2019.\\n\\nOur goal is to build a permissionless, trustless, proof-of-stake protocol with different node types that provide a decentralized API for notifications processing, indexing, and delivery. Ultimately, we\u2019re aiming to wrap the whole system in a developer-friendly SDK package and a dApp that can leverage the power of this network.\\n\\n### Push Nodes As The Key: How Do They Work\\n\\nThe Push Network will comprise three different types of Nodes. This includes:\\n\\n- Validator nodes - Batching notifications into blocks, validating them, and providing all the required APIs for SDK\\n- Storage nodes - Indexing notifications\\n- Delivery nodes - Sending notifications to the end-user device based on his/her 0xwallet, not his/her hardware credentials.\\n\\nThe network is guarded by a smart contract to maintain node staking and slashing. This is where the PUSH token is used.\\n\\nIn our proposed architecture, the storage network is sharded by a smart contract, which assigns specific shards to specific nodes to ensure a high amount of redundancy. This is done on top of storage nodes.\\n\\nWe\u2019re targeting fast delivery of ~15s on average for delivery of Notifications.\\n\\nAbstract architecture\\n\\n![Second Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nThe basic use-case:\\n\\nA javascript SDK locates the right validator, posts a notification, and this notification will be included in the block. The block list of validator nodes for processing is determined by a combined network random number (randao).\\n\\nA more detailed version of the architecture looks like this:\\n\\n![Third Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nWe\u2019ll now explore each of the three Node types in more detail.\\n\\n#### Validator Nodes\\n\\nEvery validator can be slashed, in case his vote on the new block differs from the majority of their validators, which voted for the block as valid.\\n\\n![Fourth Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-4.webp)\\n\\n#### Storage nodes\\n\\nOriginally, Push Storage Nodes validate and index all communications and link them to a user\u2019s wallet address and multi-chain identity.\\n\\nThe new Push decentralized system maps every wallet notification data to a specific shard.\\n\\nThis shard maintains X copies in the network. The smart contract dynamically computes x.\\nWhenever new nodes join, the contract recomputes which storage nodes are assigned to which shards.\\n\\n![Fifth Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-5.webp)\\n\\n![Sixth Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-6.webp)\\n\\n#### Delivery Nodes\\n\\nDelivery nodes are a pivotal component of the decentralized Push Notification infrastructure. They ensure notifications are securely and efficiently delivered to the end-user\u2019s device while serving as a decentralized solution for connecting web3 and web2. These nodes can be hosted by trusted third parties, bringing reliability and professionalism to the system. Their operation hinges on a few key principles and functionalities:\\n\\n- Integration with Established APIs: To leverage robust, widely-accepted infrastructure for sending Push Notifications.\\n- Privacy-Centric Mapping: To maintain the privacy and security of the users, delivery nodes store a mapping between a registered crypto wallet and the end-user device ID.\\n- Hosting by Trusted Entities: Recognizing the importance of reliability and trust in the notification delivery process, delivery nodes can be hosted by trusted third parties.\\n- Collaboration with Wallet Providers: In addition to being hosted by trusted third parties, delivery nodes can also be hosted by wallet providers themselves. This collaboration brings an added layer of integration and convenience, as wallet providers have a direct interest in ensuring that their users receive notifications promptly and securely.\\n\\n![Seventh Image of Explaining Push Nodes: Everything You Need To Know](./image-7.webp)\\n\\n#### Why Push Nodes? Why Decentralization?\\n\\nYou can read more about Push Delivery Nodes [here](https://push.org/blog/empower-your-wallet-app-or-platform-with-push-delivery-nodes/).\\n\\nWe believe that communication tools should be a public good. Builders should have open and free access to enhance their dApps with web3-native communication, without needing to rely on centralized providers.\\n\\nAs an extension of this, those same builders should not just have access to these tools, but a say in how these tools get developed and improved over time.\\n\\nAs the accessibility of these tools grows, so does the quality of dApps that build with them. When we achieve the goal of building better projects, we move closer towards a reality where we can onboard the next billion users to web3.\\n\\nWe are excited for this new era for the Push Protocol Network and we are extremely excited to have you be a part of it.\\n\\nFor more questions or queries, join us in Discord \ud83d\udc49https://discord.com/invite/pushprotocol\\n\\nYou can also get started building with Push tools \ud83d\udc49https://push.org/docs/"},{"id":"benchmarking-push-chat-message","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/benchmarking-push-chat-message","source":"@site/blog/2024-03-04-benchmarking-push-chat-message-architecture/index.md","title":"Benchmarking Push Chat Message Architecture: What Changed? \ud83d\udcac \u26a1","description":"Benchmarking Push Chat Message Architecture: What Changed? \ud83d\udcac \u26a1","date":"2024-03-04T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 4, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"EthGlobal","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/eth-global"}],"readingTime":5.5633333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"benchmarking-push-chat-message","title":"Benchmarking Push Chat Message Architecture: What Changed? \ud83d\udcac \u26a1","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Benchmarking Push Chat Message Architecture: What Changed? \ud83d\udcac \u26a1","text":"Push Chat has been a game-changer for web3 messaging, offering a hassle-free experience for user to user, user to dApp, and group conversations.

Essentially, Push Chat bridges the gap between messaging in web3 and web2, offering a hassle-free transition. One pivotal enhancement we\'ve diligently pursued within Push Chat involves reconfiguring the architecture for storing and retrieving messages, resulting in significantly faster performance.\\n\\nWhether you\'re engaging in public group chats, participating in private discussions, or accessing token-gated communities, Push Group Chat simplifies and secures connections. Now, Push is elevating its scalability and drastically improving message transmission speeds.\\n\\n### Understanding Push Chat Message Architecture\\n\\n#### V1 Architecture\\n\\nIn the earlier iteration of Push Chat, messages were managed within a linked list structure. This architecture employed references where each message pointed to the previous one, creating a sequential chain of messages. However, this design encountered some significant hurdles.\\n\\nOne notable issue arose from the concurrent arrival of messages, as the linked list format struggled to handle the concurrent processing of incoming messages. This concurrency bottleneck often resulted in performance degradation and dropping of messages by Push nodes, undermining the real-time nature of Push Chat.\\n\\nMoreover, the process of retrieving messages from this linked list structure posed its own set of challenges. Since Push nodes primarily stored references to the latest message, retrieving older messages required traversing the entire linked list sequentially. This approach led to slow query speeds, as resolving previous messages necessitated the resolution of the current message first.\\n\\n#### V2 Architecture\\n\\nIn the latest iteration, Push Chat has undergone a significant architectural transformation, one of the most notable changes in v2 is the abandonment of the linked list paradigm, where each message no longer references the previous one.\\n\\nBy eliminating the requirement for messages to reference the previous one, v2 architecture significantly simplifies message processing, enabling Push nodes to handle concurrent messages more efficiently. This architectural shift has alleviated the concurrency bottleneck that plagued the earlier version, enhancing the scalability and responsiveness of Push Chat.\\n\\nFurthermore, in v2, Push nodes now cache every message instead of solely storing references to the latest message hash. This strategic enhancement plays a pivotal role in optimizing message retrieval speeds. By caching every message, Push nodes can swiftly access and deliver messages upon request, mitigating the latency issues associated with sequential message resolution.\\n\\nIt\'s worth noting that despite these architectural changes, the fundamental immutable layer of Push Chat remains rooted in IPFS. Every message, whether in v1 or v2, continues to be backed up by a client-signed and verifiable verification proof. This cryptographic mechanism ensures the integrity and authenticity of messages, safeguarding them against tampering or unauthorized alterations.\\n\\n### Push Chat Benchmarks: Letting The Numbers Speak For Unprecedented Scale And Security\\n\\n> Note:: It\'s important to acknowledge that the benchmarking of v2 architecture was conducted on a development server, while the benchmarking of v1 architecture took place on a production server. It\'s worth highlighting that the production server possesses 16 times more CPU power than the development server, potentially providing an unfair advantage to v1 architecture. Additionally, it\'s crucial to recognize that the traffic volume on the production server is substantially higher compared to the development environment. These discrepancies in server specifications and traffic levels should be considered when interpreting the benchmark results.\\n\\n#### List Paginated User Chats\\n\\nFn Breakdown\\n\\n1.

From exciting new developments to all-new partnerships, making noteworthy debuts, and honoring our community \u2013 it has been a month filled with significant achievements. Here\u2019s everything we got up to:\\n\\n### Development\\n\\nMost notably we launched our [Community Based Messaging](https://push.org/blog/announcing-group-chat-from-push-unstoppable/) feature for Group Chats directly on Unstoppable Domains! With this collaboration, every \u2018badge\u2019 (NFTs assigned to wallets based on wallet holder status/activity history) will have its own Group Chat. Holding badges allow you to access the respective Group Chat. [Try it out for yourself!](https://unstoppabledomains.com/)\\n\\nWe also launched our [Live Push Roadmap for 2024](https://push.org/docs/roadmap/). It\u2019s an all-new way to track and follow along with all of our planned developments for the year. Spoiler, there is no shortage of exciting developments to come. We\u2019ll be launching Push Nodes (our final hurdle to achieve full scale decentralization) as well as new MetaMask Snap enhancements.\\n\\n### Frens of Push\\n\\nPush added several new and exciting partners to its ecosystem in January.\\n\\n1. [Cookie3](https://twitter.com/cookie3_co): We\u2019re working towards offering targeted user notification segmentation like never before using on-chain data.\\n2.

Today, the launch of the token-gated Group Chat on the UD messaging platform is another step towards decentralized, open, censorship-resistant communication for the future of the web. At launch, UD Group messaging will go live with 400+ Groups, for 3.8M+ UD users.\\n\\n### Group Chat: A Shift in Decentralized Communication\\n\\nCurrently, UD\u2019s messaging interface [Unstoppable Messaging](https://unstoppabledomains.com/blog/categories/announcements/article/messaging-launch) allows any web3 user to message addresses belonging to a .eth, .x, .crypto domain, .polygon along with many other domains. However, Unstoppable Messaging has been limited to just one-to-one and one-to-many messaging. As such, we\u2019ve been working with Unstoppable Domains to enable a robust, token-gated system through badges, allowing anyone with a [badge](https://support.unstoppabledomains.com/support/solutions/articles/48001215751-badges) to join a Group Chat and start a conversation.\\n\\nBy blending UD\u2019s expertise in web3 domain services with Push Protocol\u2019s market-leading decentralized messaging technology, we\u2019re excited to release this all-new feature to the web3 community.\\n\\n
\\n \\n \u201cOur partnership with Unstoppable is not merely about changing the way teams communicate; it\'s about revolutionizing it. \'Group Chat\' embodies our dedication to empowering organizations with cutting-edge communication technology.\\" \\n \\n \u2014 Harsh Rajat, Founder at Push Protocol\\n
\\n\\n### What Are Token Gated Group Chats\\n\\nToken-gated Group Chats are exactly what their name implies, Group Chats that require you to hold a specific token (NFT or crypto-asset) to either access any given group, or message within it. Token-gating your Group Chats is a surefire way of controlling who can enter your chats and who can message within them. As the admin of your Group Chat, you can set and adjust permissions whenever you like.\\n\\nFor businesses, organizations, and teams, it\u2019s a fantastic way to ensure your communication channels remain private and secure by giving you total control over who enters and participates in the communication channel.\\n\\nYou can learn more about [Token-Gated/Conditional Group Chats here](https://push.org/docs/chat/build/conditional-rules-for-group/).\\n\\n### Getting Started With UD Group Chat\\n\\nGetting started with Push Protocol x Unstoppable Domains Group Chat is simple \u2014 you either need to join an existing Group Chat or create your own.\\n\\nEvery Group Chat is associated with a \u2018[badge](https://support.unstoppabledomains.com/support/solutions/articles/48001215751-badges)\u2019 and hence token-gated based on badge ownership.\\n\\nAt launch, every UD badge that exists will have its own Group Chat (currently 400+ Group Chats are live). If you\u2019re a holder of those badges, you\u2019ll be eligible to join those groups.\\n\\n- To join a Group Chat for a badge you own:\\n\\n1. Go to Unstoppable Messaging from your [ud.me](https://ud.me/) Profile ([Learn More](https://support.unstoppabledomains.com/support/solutions/articles/48001244742-unstoppable-messaging)).\\n2. Select the Groups tab.\\n ![Image of Announcing \u201cGroup Chat\u201d from Push Protocol and Unstoppable Domains ](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n3. Find the community you would like to begin chatting with and select Join group chat.\\n ![Image of Announcing \u201cGroup Chat\u201d from Push Protocol and Unstoppable Domains ](./image-2.webp)\\n4. You\u2019re done! You will be able to join the text-based chat going forward.\\n\\n- To create a new Group Chat with Sponsored Badges:\\n\\n1. [Create a Sponsored Badge](https://unstoppabledomains.com/badge/activate) by entering the URL to your NFT collection\\n2. Distribute your NFT to your community or team members\\n3. That\u2019s it! Your group can now enter the chat via the Groups tab on their Unstoppable Messaging widget.\\n\\nUnstoppable Group Chat is currently available on desktop, with mobile coming soon. \\n\\n### Join the Era of Unstoppable Communities and Team Groups!\\n\\nLike all communication that\u2019s powered by Push Protocol, Unstoppable Group Chat is censorship resistant and private. For friends, DAOs, companies, and organizations, that means secure and private team communication channels.\\n\\nIf you\u2019re interested in boosting your community engagement with Group chat, get [started here](https://push.org/docs/chat/build/conditional-rules-for-group/)."},{"id":"announcing-winners-of-billion-reasons","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/announcing-winners-of-billion-reasons","source":"@site/blog/2024-01-15-announcing-winners-of-billion-reasons/index.md","title":"Announcing Winners of Billion Reasons To Build Coding Challenge \ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udd14","description":"Announcing Winners of Billion Reasons To Build Coding Challenge \ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udd14","date":"2024-01-15T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 15, 2024","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"Billion Reasons to Build","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/billion-reasons-to-build"}],"readingTime":2.566666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"announcing-winners-of-billion-reasons","title":"Announcing Winners of Billion Reasons To Build Coding Challenge \ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udd14","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Announcing Winners of Billion Reasons To Build Coding Challenge \ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udd14","text":"Phase- 1 winners of the $55,000+ prize pool ","tags":["Push Protocol","Web3","Blockchain Technology","Billion Reasons to Build"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Announcing \u201cGroup Chat\u201d from Push Protocol and Unstoppable Domains ","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/announcing-group-chat-from-push-unstoppable"},"nextItem":{"title":"Push 2023 Year In Review \ud83c\udfaf","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-roadmap-recap-2023"}},"content":"![Cover Image of Announcing Winners of Billion Reasons To Build Coding Challenge \ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udd14](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nIn August last year, we started an exciting journey with the [launch](https://push.org/blog/a-billion-reasons-to-build-finding-india-s-best-web3-developers/) of our Billion Reasons to Build (BRB) developer tour across India. The mission of the campaign was simple \u2013 to provide developers the opportunity to create real-world impact by giving them a hard problem to solve from leading protocols. This of course included rewards.\\n\\nTo create a variety of challenges, we teamed up with 12 of the most prominent protocols in web3 including Ethereum Foundation, ETHGlobal, Polygon, Filecoin, The Graph, Aragon, Timeswap, Alchemy, Shardeum, Flipkart, Biconomy, and Chainsafe to create a running hackathon.\\n\\nEach partner in the BRB hackathon presented their own unique Coding Challenge \u2013 a complex problem with a substantial bounty for the builder who could solve it.\\n\\nToday, we\'re thrilled to announce that 2 of these Coding Challenges have been solved!\\n\\nHere are the 2 challenges, the importance behind each of them, and the masterminds behind the game-changing solutions.\\n\\n### Quantum-proofing Ethereum Network \u2013 solved by Aditya Bisht\\n\\nCoding Challenge Owner: [Ethereum Foundation](https://ethereum.foundation/)\\n\\nChallenge: Figure out a way to quantum-proof the Ethereum Network, read more [here](https://www.notion.so/pushprotocol/Ethereum-Foundation-07179dcf7f7e44efb7d2b2c9d2296264?pvs=4)\\n\\nWinning Builder: [Aditya Bisht](https://twitter.com/bisht__13)\\n\\nQuantum computing is a looming threat to blockchain networks. Its powerful computing capabilities mean it can be used to reverse-engineer secret keys from public keys. To retain security and integrity in the Ethereum Network, the challenge was presented to find a way to quantum-proof the network using account abstraction.\\n\\nWe\u2019d like to congratulate Aditya Bisht for successfully solving the challenge and contributing to the security and robustness of the Ethereum Network.\\n\\nHe shared his excitement with us \u2013 \u201cFaced with intriguing complexities and the convergence of overlapping domains, the challenge not only pushed the boundaries but also contributed to advancing the ZK domain. Immense gratitude to the mentors from the Ethereum foundation and the unwavering support from Push. This victory is a testament to the collaborative spirit propelling the Ethereum project forward.\u201d \u2013 Aditya\\n\\n### All-new DAO Permissions \u2013 solved by Samuel Mens\\n\\nCoding Challenge Owner: [Aragon](https://aragon.org/)\\n\\nChallenge: Create a permission management protocol for allocating selective permissions to specific individuals and subDAOs, read more [here](https://www.notion.so/pushprotocol/Aragon-f5467edc3c2a4f8d9d5693a0a6e680de?pvs=4).\\n\\nWinning Builder: [Samuel Mens](http://@plopmenz)\\n\\nDAOs and organizations rely on being able to give certain permissions, roles, and responsibilities to specific individuals and teams (subDAOs) in order to build more efficiently. But keeping track of which wallets have which permissions can be confusing, not to mention how easy it is to lose track of these permissions across a single DAO. As such, the problem statement required a builder to find a way that enables a DAO to efficiently manage permissions.\\n\\nWith that, we\u2019d like to congratulate Samuel Mens who built two plugins and a UI that allow you to manage both subDAOs and NFT-based permissions using [@hatsprotocol](https://twitter.com/hatsprotocol) and Aragon OSx. For all DAOs that are built using Aragon, there is now a whole new level of on-chain governance management tools available.\\n\\n
\\n \\n \\"I\'ve been part of the Aragon community since their launch of OSx and have built several plugins. I had this idea for a pretty ambitious plugin, which alligned very well with the BRB Hackathon bounty. I am very grateful for Push Protocol for providing this opportunity, giving me the motivation to actually built it and go the extra mile.\\"\\n \\n
\\n \u2013 Samuel Mens\\n
\\n
\\n\\n### Meet the winners on Jan 16th\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to host a Twitter Space on Jan 16th, 3PM UTC to talk to our partners and winners of the phase-1 and learn more about their journey and experiences. Don\u2019t forget to join us for the [Twitter Space](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1lPKqbWRgvEGb).\\n\\n### BRB Goes Online With 9 Challenges Still Available To Solve\\n\\nThanks to the incredible success of the BRB so far, we are excited to announce the extension of the initiative. We\u2019re calling it BRB Online. This online campaign will mean the BRB Coding Challenges will continue to run indefinitely until solved, allowing more developers worldwide to build for and collaborate with leading web3 projects.\\n\\nBe sure to check out the remaining Coding Challenges here \ud83d\udc49https://push.org/brb/\\n\\nRicha Joshi, Co-founder at Push Protocol, shared her excitement:\\n\\n

Let\'s dive into the details of what all we achieved in 2023.\\n\\nimport ReactPlayer from \\"react-player\\";\\nimport { ABlock } from \\"@site/src/css/SharedStyling\\";\\n\\n## Push by Numbers\\n\\nPush has grown tremendously in 2023, we saw an increase in notifications sent (+50 Million YTD) and subscribers (154k). Our ecosystem expanded as more protocols started using Push to send notifications / chat to their users across chains. Push is now live on 5 chains including Ethereum, Polygon zKEVM, PoS, Arbitrum and BNB.\\n\\n![Notification data for Push Protocol growth](./subscribers2023.png)\\n\\n## Highlights\\n\\n### Unified Push SDK\\n\\nPush launched a unified SDK for web3 developers to send [**notifications**](/docs/notifications \'Explore Push Notifications Protocol\') or [**chats**](/docs/chat \'Explore Push Chat Protocol\') to their users with unification of the SDK, with **video** and **spaces** support coming soon!\\n\\nThis enabled Push API class that is common for all suite of products by Push enabling developers to use Push products with ease. It also paved the way for Push to heavily abstract away the complexities of web3 communication and provide a seamless experience to developers.\\n\\nLearn all about the Unified Push SDK from Push Documentation Hub\\n\\n### Push x MetaMask Snap\\n\\nPush started with the vision of enabling seamless communication for web3, launching Snaps for 30 Million users of MetaMask was a big step towards that vision as it allows users to have their communication delivered to them right on their MetaMask wallet.\\n\\nWe are excited to share that web3 notifications sent by protocols using Push are now delivered to users on MetaMask. If you are a web3 builder, then re-engagement is a big problem for you which get\'s solved by implementing [web3 notifications with Push now!](/docs \'Explore Push Docs\')\\n\\n\\n\\nGet started with Push x Metamask snap\\n\\n### Push x Unstoppable\\n\\nOur partner [Unstoppable Domains](https://unstoppabledomains.com/ \'Push x Unstoppable\') launched notifications and group chats for their 3.8 Million users using Push making Push Unstoppable :). Their mobile app also uses Push to send notifications to their users.\\n\\n![Preview of how Push is getting used by Unstoppable](./poweredbypush2.png)\\n\\nWhat\'s more, UD have open sourced their code for the community to use and contribute to. Check the repo out [here](https://github.com/unstoppabledomains/domain-profiles/tree/main/packages/ui-components/src/components/Chat \'Push x Unstoppable Repo\') / [staging demo](https://staging.ud.me/examples/unstoppable-messaging).\\n\\nBusiness to User messaging via Unstoppable x Push\\n\\n### Gated + Group Chats\\n\\nPush launched gated chats for web3 protocols to enable them to create gated communities for their users. This enables protocols / DAOs / NFTs to create a community of their users and engage with them based on the gamification of their choice.\\n\\nFor example: You can gate a group chat for users who hold a certain NFT or have a certain amount of tokens in their wallet or you can gate sending messages in a group chat based on the amount of tokens a user holds. Even custom logic of your choice or web2 logic can be used to gate a group chat paving new token utility use cases for your protocol.\\n\\nDeveloper guide to conditional gating groups\\n\\n### Hyper-scalable Groups\\n\\nPush launched hyper-scalable groups allowing upto 5k users for private and 25k users for public groups. This enables protocols to create large communities of their users and engage with them in a seamless manner. This is a big deal! Web2 chat apps like Whatsapp or Signal are only able to support upto 1k users!\\n\\nFor the first time, Web3 messaging is coming at par with and beating most Web2 messaging apps in terms of scalability but with the added benefit of being immutable, permissionless and containing web3 native functionalities.\\n\\nBenchmark article on hyperscalable group chats\\n\\n### Frontend Components\\n\\nPush launched frontend components for web3 developers to easily integrate Push products into their web3 dapps. Enough talk, let\'s see it in action\\n\\n```jsx live customPropMinimized = \'true\'\\n// DO NOT FORGET TO IMPORT LIBRARIES\\n// NOT NEEDED HERE SINCE PLAYGROUND IMPORTS INTERNALLY\\nimport { ChatUIProvider, ChatView } from @pushprotocol/uiweb;\\n\\nfunction App(props) {\\n return (\\n <>\\n

\\n \\n setShowFaucet(true)}\\n verificationFailModalPosition={MODAL_POSITION_TYPE.RELATIVE}\\n />\\n \\n
\\n \\n );\\n}\\n```\\n\\nDeveloper docs showing how to integrate Push Chat in 2 LOCs\\n\\n### Notification Settings\\n\\nNotifications for web3 are synonymous with Push. Our partners wanted to have a way to enable their users to control their notification settings on what they exactly wanted. Notifications settings is the answer to that, allowing users to control their notification settings on a granular level.\\n\\nNotification settings and why it\'s a game changer!\\n\\n### Push Spaces\\n\\nPush Spaces enable several users to have audio call like experience with each other, all from the comfort of your web3 wallet! It borrows scalability and gated functionality from Push Chat protol enabling new and creative ways by which all of Web3 can interact with each other.\\n\\n\\n\\nLearn more about Push Spaces!\\n\\n### Push Video\\n\\nPush vision is to become the de-facto communication stack for web3. Real time communication like Video and Spaces was something we always planned as the next primitive to build on top of Push, as per the [whitepaper 1.0](https://whitepaper.push.org/protocol-specs-section/future-features-research \'Whitepaper talking about Push Video\').\\n\\nThe team delivered on this promise as well but with some added benefites! Since it\'s built on top of the composable standard of Push Chat and Notification protocol, it benefits from their architecture, utilizing notifications for having a facetime call like interface and group chat for enabling gated calls.\\n\\nDive into Push Video and what it enables for web3 communication!\\n\\n### Push Protocol V2 (& Push Fee Pool!)\\n\\nPush Protocol V2 introduced the ability to do incentivized chat along with establishing the fee pool for Push Protocol. Fee pool is a mechanism by which Push Protocol ensures that all players in the ecosystem are incentivized to grow the ecosystem and are rewarded for their efforts.\\n\\nYield farming V2 is also enabled by Push Protocol V2, allowing users to earn rewards + fees earned by the network. V2 enables this fee pool to be split among all [**_`$PUSH`_**](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/epns/ \'$PUSH at Coinmarketcap.com\') based on the amount of token staked and the duration from which they have held onto the tokens.\\n\\nPush Yield Farming V2 and how it\'s calculated\\n\\n### Push NFT Chat\\n\\nPush also launched NFT Chat, enabling for the first time to have chat and other forms of communication tied to NFTs. This unlocks a whole new world of possibilities for NFTs where Web3 Socials or any NFT can have communication tied to it which seamlessly can be moved from one wallet to another.\\n\\nTechnical deepdive on how to get started with Push NFT Chat\\n\\n### Push Delivery Nodes\\n\\nPush released delivery nodes, enabling crypto wallets to run and listen to communications (encrypted) coming from Push Network for wallet addresses.\\n\\nThis enabled wallets to show notifications, chats, etc to their users apart from providing cool ways to bridge notifications from web3 wallets to mobile apps!\\n\\nRead about Push Delivery Nodes and how they work\\n\\n### Live Roadmap\\n\\nPush launched a live roadmap for the community which is a massive step up from medium posts as it\'s a live roadmap which is updated in real time. This enables the community to see what\'s being worked on and what\'s up next.\\n\\n_`Psst`_ - If you want a sneak peak in 2024 already, then check out the link below \ud83d\udc47\\n\\nCheck out the live roadmap for Push Protocol\\n\\n### Docs 2.0\\n\\nPush launched docs 2.0, making it easier for developers to get started with Push Protocol. We also launched playground, live examples and several tutorials to enable frictionless integration of Push Protocol. Try it out, in 4 minutes or less is the our mantra for docs 2.0!\\n\\nCheck out Push Documentation Hub 2.0\\n\\n### Continued Adoption\\n\\nPush continued it\'s journey of adoption with several protocols integrating and using Push Protocol for their communication needs. Some of the notable ones are Unstoppable, ShapeShift, Arbitrum, Bankless, Decentraland and more!\\n\\nWe also launched on a number of chains including Arbitrum, Polygon zkEVM, BNB, Polygon PoS apart from Ethereum.\\n\\nPush also saw wallets adoption with wallets like Metamask (via Push Snap), Unstoppable, Verso, Liv3, Shapeshift started using Push Protocol enabling communication to be delivered to users right on their wallets!\\n\\nCheckout Push Ecosystem aka Frens of Push\\n\\n### Honorable Mentions\\n\\nThere are a number of other things that we did in 2023, some of the notable ones are\\n\\n- Billion Reasons to Build [(BRB)](https://yourstory.com/the-decrypting-story/push-protocol-india-tour-polygon-ethereum-web3-bounties \'Dev tour\'), a pan India Dev Tour with 12 top global web3 protocols (Ethereum, Polygon, Filecoin, TheGraph, etc) to onboard +4,500 developers to web3\\n- Launched Push Ambassador India, Africa and Latam\\n- Launched several SDKs for different languages (Swift, Flutter, Android, etc)\\n- Participated in major hackathons (+1,300 devs onboarded with +500 projects built) and conferences including ETHGlobal, Devcon, ETHCC, ETHDenver..\\n- Media features including [Coindesk](https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2023/02/15/crypto-wallet-messaging-application-push-protocol-expands-to-bnb-chain/ \'Web3 Messaging\'), [The Defiant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UItJz0mLfMA&t=25s \'The Defiant Podcast\'), [Bankless](https://youtu.be/MzZdSInJGzM?si=9nUEiGCTnlszcbOH \'Bankless Podcast\')\\n- Launched Push DAO Phase 1\\n\\nBefore looking at what\'s ahead this coming year, we want to take a moment to thank the entire Push team, all our partners, investors and the builders. 2023 was an amazing year for Push and we are excited to share what we have planned for 2024!

In essence, Push Chat makes messaging in web3 as seamless as it is in web2. One feature we\u2019ve been working on extensively within Push Chat is Push Group Chat, the ability to host conversations with multiple members.\\n\\nWhether you\'re chatting in public groups, enjoying more private discussions, or joining token-gated communities, Push Group Chat makes connecting with others simple and secure. But now, Push is levelling up its scalability and increasing group limits into the thousands. Let\'s dive into the enhanced possibilities and expanded horizons that await this enhanced Push Group Chat!\\n\\n### From 1.5k to 25k Members in a Single Group Chat! \ud83d\udd25\\n\\nGroup Chat platforms have always struggled with the number of participants a single group could accommodate. This limitation has hindered the potential for large-scale user interactions and hence restricted how Group Chats can be used to connect with a broader audience. Introducing our newly enhanced Push Group Chat. We\u2019re calling it \\"hyper scalable\\" in reference to Push Group Chat\u2019s newfound ability to handle significantly larger group sizes, transcending its prior limitations. This enhancement signifies a major development for web3-native user interactions , empowering users to engage in more extensive and inclusive group conversations like never before.\\n\\nWith hyper scalability, Push Group Chat has transformed the landscape of group conversations. Public group limits have skyrocketed from 1500 to an impressive 25,000 members. Similarly, private groups once capped at 50 members, now support up to 5,000 participants. These substantial increases are redefining the potential for group interactions in web3 and reflect Push Group Chat\'s commitment to delivering a more dynamic and accommodating messaging experience.\\n\\n### Push Chat Challenging Web2 Incumbents\\n\\nInstant communication has long been dominated by traditional Web2 chat applications like WhatsApp and Signal, but Push Chat is here to challenge that. While the incumbents rely on centralised architectures that leave user data susceptible to potential vulnerabilities, Push Chat pioneers a decentralised approach, ensuring end-to-end encryption and placing control back into the hands of users.\\n\\nMoreover, the introduction of hyper scalability in Push Chat takes the competitive edge to new heights. In contrast to the confined group sizes enforced by WhatsApp and Signal, where limitations are approximately 1000 members, Push Chat shatters these constraints by accommodating a staggering 25k members for public groups and 5k for private groups.\\n\\n### Push Chat Benchmarks: Letting The Numbers Speak For Unprecedented Scale And Security\\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n\\n \\n \\n\\n

\\n\\n### What\u2019s Made Hyper Scalability Possible?\\n\\nIn the relentless pursuit of hyper scalability, Push Chat has had to undergo transformational advancements at both the architectural and encryption levels.\\n\\nPreviously, each message within private groups underwent encryption using the private keys of all group members, resulting in encryption complexity directly proportional to the number of participants.\\n\\nContrastingly, the platform has been upgraded to now dynamically generate session keys and encrypted secrets during every pivotal group state change, such as adding, removing, or joining members. Push Chat ensures that the time-consuming aspect of the encryption process is reserved for moments when the group dynamic undergoes significant transformations. This innovative approach ensures that the encryption process for private group messages remains constant, irrespective of the group\'s size. By dissociating encryption complexity from the number of participants, Push Chat has effectively eliminated the scalability concerns associated with larger private groups.\\n\\n### But Wait\u2026More Enhancements Are On The Way!\\n\\nWe are not stopping at 5k members. We have already made the breakthrough to take this to 100,000 benchmarked members \ud83d\ude31 for both private and public group chats. The only caveat is that it breaks backward compatibility when messages using the newer architecture are read by older SDKs.\\n\\nTo address this, we have decided to implement these changes in two phases:\\nIncorporate all functionalities that understand the new architecture in Push SDK from 1.4.45 upwards. Devs just need to update to start supporting the reading of those formats.\\nThe use of the feature flags in the SDK (See below or ask on Discord as to how to enable that: https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) enables the new standard as the default allowing devs to tap into it and use that in case they want.\\n\\nSo, what do you have to do to update this functionality?\\n\\nOnly one thing: Update the SDK to the latest version (1.4.45 or upwards), that\u2019s it! This will ensure that messages sent using the new message standards are understood and displayed correctly in your dApp / mobile app / etc.\\n\\n#### How to enable Push SDK Feature Flag\\n\\nIn-depth details for how to enable this can be found in the [Push Chat documentation](https://push.org/docs/chat/) and [GitHub repository](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sdk/tree/main/packages/restapi).\\n\\n### Push SDK V2 is Coming\\n\\nWe are also thrilled to announce that we are working on the V2 version of the SDK which will ensure a standardized Push user class that enables unified access to notifications, chat, video, spaces, and more!\\n\\nApart from this, the V2 version will have more streamlined response objects and faster calls though it will break backward compatibility which is why we will transition slowly to the new SDK.\\n\\nWe recommend joining our Discord server (https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) -> #dev-announcements channel for information on how to upgrade / best practices / changelog."},{"id":"push-ethIndia-push-bounties","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-ethIndia-push-bounties","source":"@site/blog/2023-12-06-push-ethIndia-push-bounties/index.md","title":"Push x ETHIndia - $10k Push Bounties + IRL Workshop \ud83d\udd14","description":"Push x ETHIndia - $10k Push Bounties + IRL Workshop \ud83d\udd14","date":"2023-12-06T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"December 6, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"EthGlobal","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/eth-global"}],"readingTime":2.9566666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-ethIndia-push-bounties","title":"Push x ETHIndia - $10k Push Bounties + IRL Workshop \ud83d\udd14","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Push x ETHIndia - $10k Push Bounties + IRL Workshop \ud83d\udd14","text":"Welcome to last month\u2019s developments and new product releases from the month of November!

Channel Owners now have the ability to segment and categorize different notifications and Channel Subscribers now have the ability to select notifications that match their preferences.\\n\\nJust as you might customize notifications through \u201cAdvanced Notifications Settings\u201d on your favorite web2 mobile apps, Notification Settings through Push brings a similar level of personalization to web3-native subscribers.\\n\\nSo, how do Notification Settings work for both Channel Owners and Channel Subscribers? We\u2019ll walk you through everything there is to know.\\n\\n### Notification Settings for Channel Owners\\n\\nPush is a thriving community with hundreds of diverse channels spanning DeFi, gaming, web3 media, and beyond. These channels often have a wide range of content, notifications, and updates to share with their users.\\n\\nFor example, a DeFi channel might want to send various notifications like loan liquidation alerts, price alerts, or governance proposal notifications. Just as a newsletter might want to send notifications for new articles in its blog, but wouldn\u2019t want to send every article to every subscriber.\\n\\nWith Notification Settings, Channel Owners can now define specific categories for their notifications. Consequently, when a channel triggers a notification for that specific category, only the users who\'ve opted for that preference will receive a notification.\\n\\nThere are two types of channel settings for Channel Owners:\\n\\n1. True/False Notification Settings: The first channel setting lets you set up a channel with a simple true/false trigger setting. For instance, say your channel covers web3 news. You can define settings for categories of articles like \\"tech\\" and \u201cpartnership announcements\u201d and give users the option to turn each On (true) or Off (false). Adding one of these Notification Settings for every content category gives end-users the option to opt-in for content categories that match their preferences and avoid ones that don\u2019t.\\n2. Range Value Notification Settings: The second channel setting lets you set up a range of values for a specific category that might trigger a notification. For instance, say you want to set up a Notification Setting that triggers when the price of ETH passes a given value. You can simply create a range, say from 0-10,000 and subscribers will be able to select any value within that range to set their custom ETH price notification.\\n You can set as many or as few Notification Settings for your channel as you like.\\n Here\u2019s how it looks.\\n\\n![Introducing Notification Settings](./image-1.webp)\\nCaption: This channel has 5 Notification Settings. 4 of which are True/False Notification Settings and 1 of which is a Range Value Notification Setting. As such, end-users will have the choice to toggle on/off preferences for each of these 5 notifications separately.\\n\\nNote, each channel will also set a \u2018default value\u2019 setting. This ensures subscribers who opt-in without specifying their preferences will simply receive notifications based on the channel\'s default settings.\\n\\nFor builders looking to integrate Notification Settings, you can find all the relevant and associated documentation here\\n\\n\ud83d\udc49 https://push.org/docs/notifications/build/create-channel-settings/\\n\\n### Notification Settings for Channel Subscribers\\n\\nEmpowering Channel Subscribers (end-users) to personalize their notifications is a massive step towards a more user-centric and user-friendly web3 experience. Channel Subscribers can filter out notifications they aren\'t interested in receiving to reduce notification clutter. This optimizes user inboxes, reduces spam, and helps personalize the user experience.\\n\\nHere\u2019s how it works for Channel Subscribers:\\n\\n1. When you subscribe to a channel that has enabled Notification Settings, you\u2019ll have the option to personalize your notification preferences based on the available settings the Channel Owner has preset.\\n The choice to customize is optional. You can always opt-in for the \u2018default values\u2019 of a channel (these \u2018default value\u2019 notifications are determined by the Channel Owner).\\n Once you\u2019ve selected your preferences for all of the Notification Settings, you can click \u2018opt-in\u2019 to initiate the subscription and begin receiving notifications!\\n This is how the UI will prompt you to select your choice of notification for the channel:\\n\\n![Introducing Notification Settings](./image-3.webp)\\nCaption: For this channel, there are 4 available Notification Settings to pick from. 3 settings correspond to simple on-off toggles and 1 corresponds to a range value. For this range value setting, you can set any value (price) that you want to receive notifications for within that range.\\n\\n2. You can review all the channels you are receiving notifications for and manage those settings directly within your \u201cNotification Settings\u201d tab. This dashboard gives you a complete birds-eye-view of all your notifications and lets you edit and change your settings any time at no cost.\\n\\n![Introducing Notification Settings](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nHere are a few popular channels to get you started!\\n\\n- [Push Protocol](http://app.push.org/channels?channel=0xB88460Bb2696CAb9D66013A05dFF29a28330689D)\\n- [BTC Price Tracker](http://app.push.org/channels?channel=0x03EAAAa48ea78d1E66eA3458364d553AD981871E)\\n- [ETH Price Tracker](http://app.push.org/channels?channel=0xDBc5936E4daaE94F415C39D284f6a69c4d553F2F)\\n\\nFull list of Push channels \ud83d\udc49https://app.push.org/channels\\n\\nHere\u2019s a full demo on how to both setup and sign up for Notification Settings:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n### Pushing Personalized Communication Experiences\\n\\nNotification Settings is a game-changer.\\n\\nFor Channel Owners that want to provide the best level of control and personalization for their users, Notification Settings mean being able to now categorize notifications and updates to only give users information they want.\\n\\nFor Channel Subscribers that want a personalized and engaging user experience, Notification Settings mean being able to accommodate their personal preferences.\\nAt Push, we\u2019re constantly reaffirming our commitment to decentralizing communication and onboarding the next one billion users to web3. As such, we\u2019re looking to build upon Notification Settings and release more communication personalization features soon.\\n\\nStay tuned because the best is yet to come."},{"id":"october-monthly-recap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/october-monthly-recap","source":"@site/blog/2023-11-06-october-monthly-recap/index.md","title":"Monthly Recap October \ud83c\udf83","description":"Monthly Recap October \ud83c\udf83","date":"2023-11-06T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"November 6, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"Decentralization","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/decentralization"}],"readingTime":1.51,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"october-monthly-recap","title":"Monthly Recap October \ud83c\udf83","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","description":"Monthly Recap October \ud83c\udf83","text":"Welcome to another thrilling month at Push!

Because traditional communication networks possess central points of failure, the entire network is at risk of collapse. This can lead to numerous issues, including disruptions to essential services and communication channels. For example, an outage by a primary IT provider could render an entire network unusable for an extended period.\\n\\nIn contrast, distributed and peer-to-peer (P2P) networks present an alternative model of liveness. These networks rely on nodes to operate effectively, eliminating a single point of failure that could compromise the entire system. This design makes distributed networks highly resilient in the face of significant disruptions.\\n\\nNevertheless, liveness can still pose challenges even within distributed and P2P networks. If nodes fail or go offline, communication channels might be disrupted, despite the entire network remaining operational. This is where Push protocol comes into play.\\n\\n## Unmatched Liveness and Resilience\\n\\nPush Protocol ensures uninterrupted and resilient communication, even in the face of disruptions. With its distributed and peer-to-peer (P2P) principles, the network remains operational and highly resilient, eliminating the risk of a single point of failure. Redundant nodes, intelligent routing algorithms, and failover mechanisms guarantee liveness, making Push Protocol highly reliable and resilient against disruptions.\\n\\n## Liveness and Unstoppable Communication\\n\\nUnlike traditional communication networks that are susceptible to disruptions and censorship, Push Protocol enables unstoppable communication. Nodes can directly communicate with each other without relying on centralized intermediaries. Communication channels established with Push Protocol are sovereign network constructs, ensuring their continued operation and allowing users to stay connected and informed, irrespective of external challenges.\\n\\n## Immutable Addresses for Uncompromised Communication\\n\\nPush Protocol enhances the security and resilience of communication channels through the use of immutable addresses. These addresses cannot be deleted or censored, providing an additional layer of protection against tampering or interference. Users can freely and securely communicate with each other as long as they have access to their addresses and the network remains operational.\\n\\n## Specialized Excellence in Communication\\n\\nPush Protocol distinguishes itself as a specialized communication layer, dedicating its expertise to perfecting communication functionality. By focusing on being the best in this critical component, Push Protocol empowers other networks and applications within the web3 ecosystem. Through seamless message exchange and notifications across networks, stakeholders can react promptly, maintain network stability, and enhance their overall user experience.\\n\\n## Unparalleled Support for Network Liveness\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s powerful communication function plays a pivotal role in ensuring the liveness and unstoppable nature of other networks and applications within the web3 ecosystem. By seamlessly exchanging messages and notifications, Push Protocol enables stakeholders to stay informed about critical updates, such as network status, while empowering them to trigger specific functions based on the communication it provides. This ensures that networks and applications remain live, responsive, and resilient, even in the face of challenges. With Push Protocol as the backbone of communication, stakeholders can confidently build and operate decentralized systems that thrive in a dynamic and interconnected web3 landscape.\\n\\n### Conclusion\\n\\nAs a specialized communication layer, Push Protocol excels in its core function, providing a dependable system for users and developers.

Decentralized communication has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional centralized systems, offering numerous advantages such as censorship resistance, privacy, and enhanced security.\\n\\nThis blog post dives into decentralized communication\u2019s different approaches and technologies, providing an intellectual and developer-focused comparison to help you understand the landscape better.\\n\\n## Centralized vs. Decentralized Communication: A Quick Reminder\\n\\n### Centralized Communication\\n\\nIn centralized communication systems, a single entity, such as a company or government, controls the infrastructure and data transmission. This control allows for efficient data routing and management but comes with significant drawbacks, such as the potential for censorship, surveillance, and data breaches.\\n\\n### Decentralized Communication\\n\\nDecentralized communication systems distribute control across multiple nodes or participants, ensuring no single entity has complete authority over the network. This approach offers numerous benefits, including increased privacy, security, and resistance to censorship.\\n\\n### Decentralized Communication Technologies\\n\\nVarious technologies and approaches have emerged in decentralized communication, each with unique characteristics and benefits. Below, we\u2019ll explore some of the most prominent ones:\\n\\n### Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks\\n\\nP2P networks are decentralized communication systems where each node, or user, connects directly to other nodes without intermediaries. These networks provide:\\n\\n- Increased privacy and censorship resistance.\\n- Lower latency.\\n- Reduced reliance on central servers.\\n\\nExamples: BitTorrent, WebRTC, and Signal\\n\\n### Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs)\\n\\nDHTs are a decentralized distributed system that stores key-value pairs across multiple nodes. These tables enable efficient and scalable routing and storage of data in P2P networks while providing fault tolerance and redundancy.\\n\\n### Examples: Kademlia, Coral, and Chord\\n\\nBlockchain-based Communication\\nBlockchain technology can be applied to decentralized communication to create secure, transparent, and tamper-proof channels. Blockchains can facilitate secure data storage and transmission and enable privacy-preserving features like zero-knowledge proofs and secure multi-party computation.\\n\\nExamples: Push Protocol\\n\\n### Mesh Networks\\n\\nMesh networks are decentralized communication systems where nodes relay messages through multiple paths to reach their destination. These networks provide increased resilience, fault tolerance, and scalability, making them ideal for use when a central infrastructure is unreliable or unavailable.\\n\\nExamples: FireChat, RightMesh, and Althea\\n\\n## Comparing Decentralized Communication Approaches\\n\\nWhen evaluating decentralized communication technologies, it\u2019s essential to consider various factors such as latency, privacy, security, scalability, and the developer ecosystem.\\n\\n### Latency\\n\\nP2P networks and mesh networks generally offer lower latency than blockchain-based communication systems, as they do not require consensus mechanisms or the storage of data on-chain. However, DHTs can add latency due to their routing and lookup mechanisms.\\n\\n### Privacy and Security\\n\\nWith end-to-end encryption, blockchain-based communication and P2P networks provide strong privacy and security guarantees. Zero-knowledge proofs and other advanced cryptographic techniques can further enhance privacy in blockchain-based communication systems.\\n\\n### Scalability\\n\\nDHTs and P2P networks can provide a solution great scalability, as they can distribute data storage and routing across multiple nodes. However, they often require complex setups and can face certain limitations in terms of node discovery, persistence, and network consistency.\\n\\n### Developer Ecosystem\\n\\nWhen selecting a decentralized communication technology, consider the maturity and robustness of the developer ecosystem. Examine the available tools, libraries, and community support to ensure you can effectively build and maintain your decentralized communication application.\\n\\n## How Does Push Protocol Relate to Other Decentralized Communication Methods?\\n\\nPush Protocol is a comprehensive decentralized communication solution that combines the best aspects of P2P communication, blockchain-based messaging and distributed messaging platforms.\\n\\nIn light of the additional context provided, let\u2019s dive deeper into how Push Protocol compares to other decentralized communication methods, keeping the unique features and characteristics of Push Protocol in mind.\\n\\n## Push Protocol as P2P Communication\\n\\nWhile Push Protocol is a form of P2P communication, it expands upon traditional P2P communication by integrating blockchain technology, smart contract interactions, and wallet-to-wallet communication. This combination allows Push Protocol to offer a more secure, decentralized, and user-centric communication experience tailored to the needs of the Web3 ecosystem.\\n\\n- Channels and Opt-in: Push Protocol enables communication channels,\\n which allow wallet addresses to opt in or subscribe to receive notifications.\\n This user-centric approach ensures that users only receive notifications they\\n are interested in, minimizing spam and unwanted messages.\\n- Decentralized Network of Push Nodes: Push Protocol is maintained by a\\n decentralized network of Push Nodes, each having a specific role in validating\\n and delivering messages between wallet addresses. This architecture provides a\\n higher degree of redundancy and resiliency than traditional P2P networks.\\n- Encryption and Verification Proof: Push Protocol uses PGP encryption to\\n secure messages and provides a Verification Proof mechanism for validating the\\n sender, the chain, and the content of messages. This ensures data integrity\\n and privacy, which may be lacking in traditional P2P communication systems.\\n\\n## Push Protocol and Blockchain-based Messaging\\n\\nWhile Push Protocol utilizes blockchain communication, it incorporates blockchain-based messaging elements, such as user addresses and cryptography for secure communication. However, Push Protocol goes beyond essential blockchain communication by supporting any network, not just blockchain and web3, enabling more extensive interoperability and flexibility.\\n\\n- Native Integration with Wallet Addresses: Push Protocol enables\\n communication between wallet addresses without needing personal information.\\n This contrasts with some blockchain-based messaging systems that require\\n additional information or rely on smart contract-based user management.\\n- IPFS-based Storage: Messages in Push Protocol are stored on IPFS,\\n ensuring decentralized and tamper-proof storage, while some blockchain-based\\n messaging systems store messages directly on the blockchain, which can be less\\n efficient and more costly.\\n- Spam Prevention: Push Protocol focuses on spam prevention through\\n opt-in channels, chat requests, and inbox/request separation. In contrast,\\n some blockchain-based messaging systems might not have built-in spam\\n prevention mechanisms or rely solely on transaction fees to deter spam.\\n\\n## Push Protocol and Distributed Messaging Platforms\\n\\nPush Protocol offers unique features like opt-in channels, gasless transactions, and PGP encryption to create a seamless, secure, and user-centric communication experience.\\n\\n- Built for Web3 Ecosystem: Push Protocol is designed for the Web3\\n ecosystem, enabling wallet-to-wallet and dapp-to-dapp communication. This\\n focus ensures better integration and usability for Web3 applications than\\n general-purpose distributed messaging platforms.\\n- User-Centric Approach: With its opt-in channels and chat request\\n mechanisms, Push Protocol adopts a user-centric approach to communication.\\n This empowers users to control their communication experience and minimize\\n spam, while some distributed messaging platforms might offer less fine-grained\\n control.\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nUnderstanding these unique characteristics and advantages of Push Protocol compared to other decentralized communication methods enables developers to make more informed decisions about the technology that best suits their needs and build innovative applications that cater to the evolving demands of users in the digital world."},{"id":"august-monthly-recap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/august-monthly-recap","source":"@site/blog/2023-09-01-august-monthly-recap/index.md","title":"August Monthly Recap","description":"Cover image of August Monthly Recap","date":"2023-09-01T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"September 1, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technologies","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technologies"}],"readingTime":2.21,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"august-monthly-recap","title":"August Monthly Recap","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Step into the newest chapter of our Push journey!\\nAugust brought a wave of excitement and progress, full of achievements we can\u2019t wait to share with you.

Through its Automated Market Maker (AMM) model, QuickSwap enables users to exchange tokens seamlessly in liquidity pools without the need for a traditional order book.\\n\\nIn addition to its core offerings, QuickSwap is building out its DragonFi Ecosystem as a one-stop shop for DeFi on Polygon \u2014 a place where Polygon users can come to trade, lend and borrow funds, play games, and more! This acts as a hub for various products such as QuickPerps, a decentralized Perpetual Exchange, and the Gaming Hub, further enriching the DeFi landscape.\\n\\nIn a significant development recently announced, we are excited to share that the [$PUSH token is now live on QuickSwap](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-is-live-on-polygon-quickswap-b683ef0f71d8), expanding the utility and accessibility of the $PUSH token within the Polygon ecosystem, and offering users new avenues to engage with the token. In addition, Quickswap will be using Push\u2019s communication layer to send notifications to DeFi users on the platform and alert them about their positions and other on-chain actions.\\n\\nThis edition of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d features an interview with QuickSwap, shedding light on their mission, technology, and collaboration with Push. Let\u2019s dive in!\\n\\n### 1. Tell us about QuickSwap \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does QuickSwap solve?\\n\\nQuickSwap is the leading DEX and AMM on Polygon PoS, Polygon zkEVM, and Dogechain where users can trade, swap, LP, farm, and take part in other DeFi activities at lightning fast speeds and with near-zero gas fees. The DEX has helped spark adoption for DeFi across the Polygon ecosystem and has become an attractive environment for DeFi because of fast transaction speeds and low gas fees, in addition to the DragonFi ecosystem which serves as a hub for other products, such as QuickPerps (decentralized Perpetual Exchange) and the Gaming Hub.\\n\\n### 2. How do developers use QuickSwap? (feel free to add a step-by-step guide or quick tutorial like a video here )\\n\\nReferences here https://docs.quickswap.exchange/ https://github.com/QuickSwap\\n\\n### 3. What\u2019s the 2023 plan for QuickSwap\u2019s ecosystem?\\n\\nMultiple integrations with projects on all 3 ecosystems and QuickPerps \u2014 more info to be revealed but integrations mostly aimed at enhancing the UI/UX and adding more features for DEX users\\n\\n### 4. How is QuickSwap using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nQuickSwap will be using Push\u2019s Web3 communication layer to enable push notifications for DeFi users on the DEX who want to be alerted about their positions and any other on-chain actions related to swaps, LP, farms, leverage trades, etc.\\n\\n### 5. How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nIt\u2019s a pretty smooth UI and easy to understand, I like the simplicity. It seems to also offer a wide range of notifications and features\\n\\n### 6. What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nPerhaps besides just on-chain actions users could have a checklist of things they want to opt into for each protocol, such as other types of news feeds, updates on token listings, etc.\\n\\n## About Quickswap\\n\\nQuickSwap stands as a next-generation layer-2 DEX and AMM operating on Polygon. It facilitates rapid token swaps, liquidity provision, and yield farming with minimal gas fees. The platform\u2019s AMM model eliminates order books, promoting seamless token exchange through liquidity pools.\\n\\nFor more information about Quickswap, check out their: [Website](https://quickswap.exchange/#/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/QuickswapDEX), [Telegram](https://t.me/QuickSwapDEX), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/dSMd7AFH36), [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrPlF-DBwD-UzLFDzJ4Z5Fw), [Medium](https://quickswap-layer2.medium.com/)"},{"id":"introducing-the-push-ambassador-india-program","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/introducing-the-push-ambassador-india-program","source":"@site/blog/2023-08-17-introducing-the-push-ambassador/index.md","title":"Introducing the Push Ambassador India Program\ud83c\udf38","description":"Cover image of Introducing the Push Ambassador India Program\ud83c\udf38","date":"2023-08-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 17, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Ambassador Program","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ambassador-program"},{"label":"Partnerships","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/partnerships"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technologies","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technologies"}],"readingTime":2.3,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"introducing-the-push-ambassador-india-program","title":"Introducing the Push Ambassador India Program\ud83c\udf38","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"Following the recent success of our Push Ambassador Program in LATAM, we are thrilled to be expanding our Ambassador Program to India!","tags":["Push Protocol","Ambassador Program","Partnerships","Web3","Blockchain Technologies"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Enhancing the DeFi UX on Polygon | Push x QuickSwap\ud83d\udc32","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/enhancing-the-de-fi-ux-on-polygon-push-x-quick-swap"},"nextItem":{"title":"July Monthly Recap\u2728","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/july-monthly-recap"}},"content":"![Cover image of Introducing the Push Ambassador India Program\ud83c\udf38](./cover-image.png)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n\x3c!--customheaderpoint--\x3e\\n\\n# We\u2019re looking for new ambassadors in India to join us!\\n\\nFollowing the recent success of our Push Ambassador Program in LATAM, we are thrilled to be expanding our Ambassador Program to India!\\n\\nThe Push Ambassador India Program is an exciting expansion of our community initiative designed to grow our presence and foster a dynamic community of web3 enthusiasts across India.

UNI-V2 LP Token Staking: Similar to v1 incentive program, this procedure allows users to stake their UNI-V2 LP tokens in our staking contract and earn $PUSH tokens as a reward.\\n2. Push Fee Pool Staking: The second procedure is the new staking feature of the Push Core V2 smart contract that allows users to directly stake in the core contract itself and earn rewards in $PUSH Tokens generated from the Fee Pool.\\n\\nIn this article, we will now walk you through the specific steps for both the UNI-V2 LP pool and the Push Fee Staking pool:\\n\\n- How to Stake and Unstake Tokens\\n- How to Harvest your rewards\\n- How to Migrate your tokens (from the Old Staking pools to the New V2 Rewards Program, with just one click)\\n\\nFor each of these steps, we will first talk about the \ud83d\udd34 Push Fee Staking Pool and then the \ud83d\udfe3 UNI-V2 LP Token Staking Pool\\n\\n## How to Stake & Unstake Tokens\\n\\n### \ud83d\udd34 PUSH Fee Staking Pool\\n\\n### Staking $PUSH Tokens\\n\\nPush Fee Staking Pool allows you to stake your PUSH tokens directly in the [Push Core contract](https://etherscan.io/address/0x66329Fdd4042928BfCAB60b179e1538D56eeeeeE) itself.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nFollow the simple steps below to Stake to Push Fee Staking Pool:\\n\\n1. Go to Yield Farming v2 Page on PUSH Dapp \ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/yieldv2\\n2. Go to the left-hand part of the UI that displays the PUSH Fee Staking Pool.\\n3. Click on the Stake PUSH button\\n4. Once you click on stake, you will be prompted to enter the PUSH token amount you wish to stake. \ud83d\udc47\\n\\n![Prompt to enter the PUSH token amount Image](./staking-pool.webp)\\n\\n5. Then, simply click on Approve PUSH button to approve the transfer of your tokens.\\n\\n6. Once completed, you should have the option to click on the Deposit button right away.\\n\\n7. After successful execution of your transaction, you should see the right staked amount in the UI.\\n\\n![Right staked amount in the UI Image](./staking-pool2.webp)\\n\\n### Unstaking $PUSH Tokens\\n\\n1. Simply click on the Unstake PUSH button to unstake from the staking pool.\\n2. After successful execution of your transaction, your tokens should be unstaked from the contract and transferred back to your wallet.\\n\\nImportant considerations for the unstaking procedure in Push Fee Staking Pool:\\n\\n- The pool doesn\u2019t impose any lock-in period. This means holders are free to stake or un-stake whenever they wish.\\n- While no lock-in period is imposed, there is a delay period of at least one epoch before a user can withdraw or harvest. This means that any stake (within the current epoch) will require the user to wait T+1 epoch before they can claim rewards or withdraw their harvest. 1 epoch is 21 days long.\\n Unstaking tokens in this pool will automatically harvest and transfer any pending reward tokens to your wallet as well.\\n \ud83d\udfe3 UNI-V2 LP Staking Pool\\n The UNI-V2 LP staking pool allows you to stake your LP tokens and earn yields for the same.\\n\\n
\\n\\n Note: In order to participate in this pool, providing liquidity to the PUSH/ETH Uniswap pool is the first step. To do that, simply:\\n\\n
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n1. Go to the [PUSH/ETH V2 pool on Uniswap](https://app.uniswap.org/#/add/v2/ETH/0xf418588522d5dd018b425E472991E52EBBeEEEEE) (Remember to navigate to Uniswap V2 pool and not V3 pool).\\n2. Add liquidity into the pool with both $PUSH and $ETH.\\n3. Once added, you should receive UNI-V2 LP tokens in your wallet.\\n4. You are now ready to stake to these LP tokens into for Push V2 reward program.\\n\\n### Staking UNI-V2 LP tokens\\n\\n1. Go to Yield Farming v2 Page on PUSH Dapp \ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/yieldv2\\n2. Go to the right-hand part of the UI that displays Uniswap v2 LP Staking Pool.\\n3. Click on the Stake $UNI-V2 LP Tokens button\\n\\n![Click on the \'Stake $UNI-V2 LP Tokens\' button Image](./staking-pool3.webp)\\n\\n4. Enter the amount of LP tokens to be staked, and click on Approve Uni-V2\\n\\n5. Once approved, simply click on the Deposit button.\\n\\n![Click on the \'Deposit\' button](./staking-pool4.webp)\\n\\n6. After successful execution of your transaction, you should the right staked amount in the UI.\\n\\n### Unstaking UNI-V2 LP Tokens\\n\\n1. Click on Unstake UNI-V2 button.\\n2. This will trigger a metamask Pop-UP. Once confirmed you should simply be able to unstake your LP tokens from the pool.\\n\\n## How to Claim Rewards\\n\\nClaiming rewards for both the pools is fairly similar.\\n\\n1. Go to the respective pool on [Push Dapp Yield Farming V2 page](https://app.push.org/yieldv2).\\n2. Click on the Claim Rewards button of the PUSH Fee Staking Pool or UNI-V2 Staking Pool.\\n3. Confirm the transaction and rewards will be transferred to your wallet.\\n\\nHowever, there are a couple of considerations to keep in mind related when harvesting rewards.\\n\\n### \ud83d\udd34 Harvesting in PUSH Fee Staking Pool\\n\\nThe very first claim reward procedure for this pool shall include two transactions:\\n\\n- 1st Transaction is to Set Holder Delegation for the Push Core Contract address.\\n- 2nd transaction is to trigger the primary harvest function of the Push core contract to release the rewards.\\n\\nWhat exactly is Setting Holder Delegation?\\n\\n- The $PUSH token has a time-weightage feature within itself which allows the contract to calculate the holder weight of a $PUSH token holder based on how long he/she has been holding the token.\\n- During the harvest, the core contract is designed to be capable of updating the holder weight of the caller to the latest block.\\n- Therefore, this set holder delegationtransaction approves the main Push Core contract to be capable of updating holder weight whenever needed.\\n- It should be noted that this permission can be revoked anytime by the user.\\n\\n
\\n\\n Note: The setting holder delegation is a one-time process and only takes place during the very first instance of claiming rewards.\\n\\n
\\n\\n### \ud83d\udfe3 Harvesting in UNI-V2 LP Staking Pool\\n\\n- The steps for harvesting in UNI-V2 LP Staking Pool are identical to that of harvesting in the PUSH Fee Staking Pool\\n- Go to the UNI-V2 LP Pool on [Push Dapp Yield Farming V2 page](https://app.push.org/yieldv2).\\n- Click on the Claim Rewards button of the UNI-V2 Staking Pool.\\n- Confirm the transaction and rewards will be transferred to your wallet.\\n\\n## How to migrate from the old staking pool to the new pool?\\n\\nIf you\u2019re an early holder of $PUSH, chances are you\u2019ve staked in the first rewards program.\\n\\nIf that\u2019s the case for you, the migration feature is specifically designed to provide you with a smooth and easy procedure to shift from the old staking pool to the new v2 staking pool.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nMigration from old to new pools requires 3 simple transactions:\\n\\n1. Unstaking from old contracts: This transaction withdraws your staked tokens from the old contracts.\\n2. Approval of tokens: This ensures you approve the new staking pool contracts.\\n3. Staking into new pool: The final transaction ensures a successful deposit of your tokens to the new staking pools.\\n\\nIn order to perform the migration procedure, please follow the steps below:\\n\\n1. Go to Yield Farming v2 Page on PUSH Dapp \ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/yieldv2\\n2. Go to the Yield Farming V1 (Deprecated) section.\\n\\n![Yield Farming V1 (Deprecated) Image](./staking-pool5.webp)\\n\\n### \ud83d\udd34 For Push Staking Pool Migration\\n\\n1. Simply go to the Push Staking Pool section\\n2. Click on Migrate to PUSH Fee Pool button\\n3. After the above-mentioned 3 transactions, your staked tokens will be migrated from the previous $PUSH Token staking contract to the new $PUSH Fee Staking Pool (which essentially is the main Push Core contract itself).\\n\\n### \ud83d\udfe3 For UNI V2 Staking Pool\\n\\n1. The procedure remains the same as mentioned above.\\n2. However, in this migration, your tokens will be staked in the new UNI-V2 Staking Pool.\\n\\n
\\n\\nNote: Unstaking tokens from old staking contracts doesn\u2019t ensure the claiming of pending rewards. Make sure you claim pending rewards (if any) from old staking pools after the migration is completed.\\n\\nIn order to claim any available pending reward from your previous pools, you can click on the Claim Rewards button of that respective pool in the Yield Farming V1 section.\\n\\n\\n

This means stakers will now have the opportunity to earn incentives as the protocol continues to flourish.\\n\\nBegin staking \ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/yieldv2\\n\\n## Brief Glance at Push Liquidity Rewards Program v2\\n\\n1. The v2 liquidity rewards program provides two options for participation: UNI-v2 LP Token Staking: Similar to v1 incentive program, this procedure allows users to stake their UNI-v2 LP tokens in our staking contract and earn $PUSH tokens as a reward.\\n2. Push Fee Pool Staking: The second procedure is the new staking feature of the Push Core V2 smart contract that allows users to directly stake in the core contract itself and earn rewardsx in $PUSH Tokens.\\n\\nThe Push Fee Pool collects $PUSH tokens in fees for Push Notifications, Channel-related actions, and Chat. These fees are hence distributed to all stakers in the Core v2 smart contract. Put most simply, these rewards are directly linked to the protocol\u2019s growth. As the protocol grows with more channels, so do the fees and hence incentives that Push Fee Pool stakers can receive.\\n\\n## Important Details About the new Incentive Program\\n\\n1. All rewards will be distributed in $PUSH tokens.\\n2. A total of 3,414,700 $PUSH is allocated towards this reward program.\\n3. Epoch Duration: Each epoch will be 21 days long in the new rewards program. This is for both staking programs UNI-v2 Staking and Protocol Fee Pool Staking..\\n4. Staking will only be available through the official Push dApp [Incentives \u2014 Yield Farming page](https://app.push.org/yieldv2).\\n While these are the high-level details related to Push Liquidity Rewards Program v2, let\u2019s now dive in to get a complete understanding of the two different types of staking mechanisms.\\n\\n## Push Fee Pool Staking Details\\n\\n1. The staking mechanism in core v2 is epoch-based staking. That is, the entire distribution of rewards is split into epochs during which users can stake and rewards can be accumulated.\\n\\n2. Epoch Duration: Each epoch is ~21 days or 3 weeks long.\\n\\n3. Total Rewards Allocated: 1,323,100 PUSH + Core V2 Protocol Fees\\n\\n
\\n \\n Note: The Push Fee Pool consists of two $PUSH token sources. The first source is from the collection of fees *that the protocol earns from channel specific actions like channel creation (as previously mentioned). The second source is from a manual release of 1,323,100 $PUSH tokens for every epoch. As such, staking in the Push Fee Pool entitles you to earn rewards from both these sources simultaneously\\n \\n
\\n\\n4. Staking $PUSH tokens:\\n\\n- $PUSH token holders can stake their tokens at any given time in the Core v2 contract.\\n- $PUSH has time weightage built in. This means people who have held $PUSH longer are rewarded more the longer they stake.\\n\\n5. Unstaking $PUSH Tokens\\n\\n- The staking algorithm of Core contract doesn\u2019t impose any lock-in period. This means holders are free to stake or un-stake whenever they wish.\\n- While no lock-in period is imposed, there is a delay period of at least one epoch before a user can withdraw or harvest. This means that any stake during a current epoch will require the user to at least wait T+1 epoch before they can claim rewards or withdraw their harvest. This is done to ensure bad actors can\u2019t misuse epoch duration for unfair rewards.\\n\\n6. Reward Harvesting\\n\\n- The total rewards available and claimable in an epoch rely on the protocol\u2019s fee pool, i.e. the amount of $PUSH earned by the protocol itself. The more $PUSH tokens accumulated by the protocol during an epoch, the more rewards for the stakers of that specific epoch.\\n- When it comes to harvesting rewards from the contract, users harvest rewards for all the epochs in which they were staked.\\n **This basically means the longer a user stakes, the more rewards they should be able to harvest.**\\n\\n- Mentioned below is the formula used to calculate the rewards of any staker in a given epoch (N) \ud83d\udc47\\n\\n![User rewards calculation Image](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n
\\n \\n Note: An important detail here is users cannot claim rewards for the current epoch. For instance, if a user stakes at epoch 1 and tries to claim at epoch 6 (which is the current epoch), that user will only be able to claim for epochs 1 to 5. This is because epoch 6 is currently active, and the contract doesn\u2019t allow claiming rewards from a current epoch.\\n \\n
\\n\\n## UNI-v2 LP Token Staking Details\\n\\n1. The UNI-V2 LP staking is exactly the same to the previous staking program. That is, $PUSH token holders earn incentives for providing liquidity on Uniswap.\\n\\n2. Total Rewards Allocated: 1,743,000 $PUSH tokens\\n\\n3. Epoch Duration: Each epoch is ~21 days long or 3 weeks long.\\n\\n4. Staking UNI-V2 Tokens\\n\\n- In order to stake in this program, users will first need to provide liquidity for PUSH on Uniswap.\\n- This can be done by visiting the [PUSH/ETH Uniswap Pool](https://app.uniswap.org/#/swap?inputCurrency=0xf418588522d5dd018b425e472991e52ebbeeeeee) and adding liquidity. Once added, users will be given Uniswap-V2 LP tokens which can then be staked on the UNI-V2 LP staking pool on the [Push dApp](https://app.push.org/yieldv2), to begin earning rewards.\\n\\n5. Withdrawing UNI-V2 Tokens\\n\\n- Users can withdraw their their UNI-V2 LP tokens from the [Push dApp staking portal](https://app.push.org/yieldv2) at any time.\\n\\n6. Reward Harvesting\\n\\n- Liquidity providers can harvest rewards for their staked amount by simply clicking onto the Claim Rewards button on the [Push Dapp Yield Farming V2 page.](https://app.push.org/yieldv2)\\n- Allocated rewards will decrease for each sequential epoch.\\n- Rewards will be distributed at the end of each epoch (21 days), to be shared in % proportion to a user\u2019s contribution to the pool.\\n- Earlier participants in the staking program will earn higher rewards.\\n\\n7. Mentioned below is the formula used to calculate the rewards for a given liquidity provider in the UNI-V2 LP Staking mechanism \ud83d\udc47\\n\\n### Migration from previous staking program\\n\\nIf you were part of the previous $PUSH staking program, it is recommended you simply migrate your previously staked tokens into the new staking pools.\\n\\nWe\u2019ve made every effort to make this as simplified of a process as possible.

This partnership opens up new opportunities for users to borrow and lend Push native tokens ($PUSH) while benefiting from the extensive functionalities and composability offered by TimeSwap and the Polygon network.\\n\\nPolygon, known for its high scalability and low transaction costs, provides the perfect environment to enhance the utility and functionalities of the $PUSH token. We couldn\u2019t be more excited to start this journey!\\n\\n## Push x Timeswap\\n\\nTimeswap is the first fully decentralized AMM-based money market protocol that is non-custodial, immutable, censorship-resistant, and works without oracles or liquidators.\\n\\nWith the launch of the lending pool on TimeSwap, users can now borrow and lend $PUSH tokens on the Polygon mainnet, further enhancing the token\u2019s utility and expanding its composability.\\n\\nThrough this partnership, Push gains access to Polygon\u2019s ecosystem, offering users increased opportunities to explore various DeFi strategies, including:\\n\\n- Borrowing $PUSH at a fixed interest rate\\n- Earn a fixed interest rate by lending $PUSH\\n\\n### A quick rundown of the pool\\n\\nThe PUSH-USDC pool will enable fixed-rate lending/borrowing of $PUSH token using USDC as collateral, with an initial APR of 30%.\\n\\n- Pair: PUSH/USDC\\n- Asset to be lent/borrowed: PUSH\\n- Collateral: USDC\\n- Transition price: 0.40 PUSH/USDC\\n- Initial APR: 30 %\\n\\nIn addition, Timeswap offers various benefits and customizable options that enhance their borrowing and lending experience for users like:\\n\\n- No risk of sudden liquidation: Unlike other protocols where borrowers may face liquidation during market volatility, TimeSwap offers non-liquidatable loans. Instead of being immediately liquidated, borrowers are given the opportunity to repay their debt before maturity. In case of default, their collateral is distributed to lenders or liquidity providers.\\n- Adjustable APR and Collateral Ratio: TimeSwap provides users with the ability to customize their APR (Annual Percentage Rate) and CDP (Collateral Debt Position) ratio, allowing borrowers and lenders to adjust to their individual risk tolerance and market conditions.\\n- Market-determined CDP: On Timeswap, the collateral ratio is determined by market participants instead of centralized entities or DAO governance, enabling cheaper loans and higher leverages.\\n\\nWe are incredibly excited about our partnership with Timeswap. This collaboration not only strengthens the Push ecosystem but also provides users with increased opportunities to participate in decentralized borrowing, lending, and earning. We cannot wait to see the beginning of a long journey with Timeswap!\\n\\n## $PUSH Token and its Utilities\\n\\nPush addresses a critical need in web3 by providing a decentralized communication protocol for dApp builders and web3 users. Push operates in a gasless, multi-chain, and platform-agnostic manner, facilitating seamless interactions among wallet addresses.\\n\\nPowering the Push ecosystem is the $PUSH token, fostering a circular economy within the protocol and incentivizing community participation. The $PUSH token serves several key purposes, including securing the network, network utility, Push DAO governance, and the reward pool fee. Let\u2019s take a deeper dive into each of these:\\n\\n### 1. Securing the Network\\n\\nPush Nodes are incentivized to act in the network\u2019s best interest through the use of $PUSH tokens in Proof of Stake. Nodes that remain synced and support network consensus are rewarded with $PUSH tokens, while those acting against the network\u2019s interests are penalized.\\n\\n### 2. Network Utility\\n\\n$PUSH tokens are used as payment for message broadcasting on the Push network. Users must pay in $PUSH tokens to ensure their messages reach all interested parties. This incentivizes network nodes to relay the messages, contributing to a fast and reliable communication network.\\n\\n### 3. Push DAO and Governance\\n\\n53% of the $PUSH token supply is allocated to the community, empowering token holders to participate in governance and shape the future of Push Protocol. Token holders have the right to vote on critical decisions, including the staking structure, reward distribution rates, and other essential aspects of the protocol\u2019s functioning.\\n\\n### 4. Push Fee Pool\\n\\nThe Push Fee Pool is designed to reward participants within the ecosystem, creating a circular economy. Fees collected at the protocol level, such as charges for \u201csuper users\u201d and utility features, are distributed to $PUSH token holders, wallets that adopt Push, and other stakeholders contributing to the ecosystem\u2019s growth and decentralization. The time-weighted feature of the $PUSH token ensures that long-term holders receive higher rewards.\\n\\nAdditionally, we\u2019re continuing to develop new token utilities to drive adoption and participation as we expand our capabilities and presence on multiple chains. Our next big utility development is our launch on TimeSwap!"},{"id":"push-is-live-on-polygon-and-quickswap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-is-live-on-polygon-and-quickswap","source":"@site/blog/2023-07-25-push-is-live-on/index.md","title":"$PUSH is Live on Polygon & Quickswap!\ud83d\udc9c","description":"Cover image of $PUSH is Live on Polygon & Quickswap!\ud83d\udc9c","date":"2023-07-25T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 25, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Yield Farming","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/yield-farming"},{"label":"Liquidity Mining","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/liquidity-mining"},{"label":"Polygon Network","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/polygon-network"}],"readingTime":1.5333333333333334,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-is-live-on-polygon-and-quickswap","title":"$PUSH is Live on Polygon & Quickswap!\ud83d\udc9c","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Today we are excited to announce the launch of the $PUSH token on Polygon!

Specifically, our solutions have been built to provide a better UX, privacy, censorship-resistance, and community incentives.\\n\\nPush Spaces is currently available for audio streaming, with video streaming coming soon.\\n\\nReady to get started with Push Spaces?[ Start here!](https://push.org/spaces)\\n\\nAre you a developer wanting to integrate Push Spaces into your dApp? See our developer resources [here.](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@pushprotocol/restapi#for-spaces)\\n\\n![Docusaurus Image](./cover-image2.webp)\\n\\n## The Roadmap to Push Spaces\\n\\nWe\u2019ve been [chatting about Push Spaces](https://twitter.com/harshrajat/status/1680123902465306624) for a little while, helping the web3 ecosystem imagine a world of decentralized, community-based streaming. Push Spaces comes on the heels of months of turmoil in the web2 social media space, ranging from corporate discord, censorship risks, and persistent UX pitfalls.\\n\\nSince its launch in early 2020, Push Protocol (previously EPNS) has been building out the decentralized communication layer for web3, starting with decentralized notifications. Recently, we announced [Push Chat](https://medium.com/push-protocol/announcing-the-push-chat-alpha-launch-f183765ec522), wallet-to-wallet text and video chat. With Push Spaces, we\u2019re continuing to offer applications for developers and users alike, all built off the same multichain communication technology.\\n\\n## Push Spaces for Users\\n\\nPush Spaces is designed to intuitively operate like Twitter Spaces. Individuals can browse live and upcoming Push Spaces that are scheduled by individual wallets with host names, subject titles, and event information. Just like Twitter Spaces, you can host or join any open Push Spaces and chat, speak, and react. To host or join a Push Spaces, you need a crypto wallet, and Push is currently compatible with Ethereum, Polygon, BSC wallets. No transaction signature or gas/fee payment is needed to use Push Spaces.\\n\\nHowever, a \u201cdecentralized Twitter Spaces\u201d is only the beginning of the vision for Push Spaces. As an open source protocol, Push invites developers to innovate on new ways to envision how audio and video streaming can look, including token-gated Spaces for community members.\\n\\n## Push Spaces for Developers\\n\\nThe Push Spaces app is live for the earliest version of audio streaming. But that\u2019s only the beginning. We invite all web3 developers to explore how the Push Protocol suite can create a more complete and user-friendly dapp experience. Think about an application that delivers personalized notifications to users\u2019 wallets, allows them to chat with customer support through decentralized chat, and keeps the community updated through regular decentralized Spaces \u2014 all done seamlessly, permissionlessly, and from the same verifiable wallets.\\n\\nJoin the community of developers already building on Push Protocol, and get started with Push Spaces \u2014 [start here!](https://push.org/spaces)\\n\\n\\n\\n"},{"id":"5-tips-for-mastering-the-art-of-successful-grant-proposals","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/5-tips-for-mastering-the-art-of-successful-grant-proposals","source":"@site/blog/2023-07-19-5-tips-for-mastering/index.md","title":"5 Tips for Mastering The Art of Successful Grant Proposals\ud83d\udcdd","description":"Cover image of 5 Tips for Mastering The Art of Successful Grant Proposals\ud83d\udcdd","date":"2023-07-19T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 19, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Grant","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/grant"},{"label":"Web Grant","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-grant"},{"label":"Grant Writing","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/grant-writing"}],"readingTime":1.8533333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"5-tips-for-mastering-the-art-of-successful-grant-proposals","title":"5 Tips for Mastering The Art of Successful Grant Proposals\ud83d\udcdd","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"When it comes to project growth, seeking external assistance is crucial.

In the web3 landscape, grants have emerged as a valuable form of funding, but navigating the intricacies of grant applications can be challenging.\\n\\nFortunately, we\u2019ve gathered expert insights from \u201cThe Art of Successful Grant Proposals\u201d Twitter space from Push Protocol in which Azeem Khan, Carlos Melgar and Ben West shared these insights and offered valuable tips to enhance your grant proposal game and increase your chances of securing funding for your project.\\n\\n### 1. Showcase Your Portfolio: Demonstrate Your Track Record\\n\\nOne common pitfall in grant applications is neglecting to highlight your past achievements. Whether in Web 2 or Web 3 projects, the individuals behind the project are essential considerations for grant providers and voters. They seek assurance of your abilities and commitment. Therefore, ensure that your application showcases your portfolio as a testament to your expertise and success.\\n\\n### 2. Research Grant Providers: Understand Their Values\\n\\nNot all grants are the same, and each program has its unique criteria and philosophy. Some employ quadratic funding, while others have reward programs or committee evaluations. To increase your chances of success, conduct thorough research on the grant provider and align your project with their values and goals. This alignment will position your proposal as a perfect fit for their ecosystem.\\n\\n### 3. Craft an Engaging and Concise Application: Stand Out from the Crowd\\n\\nIn a sea of grant applications, capturing attention is paramount. Craft your proposal in an attractive and concise manner that stands out from the rest. Employ a creative writing style that effectively communicates your project\u2019s value proposition. Break free from conventional approaches to leave a lasting impression on evaluators. By presenting a well-crafted and succinct application, you enhance your chances of being remembered.\\n\\n### 4. Embrace Community Engagement: Harness the Power of Collaboration\\n\\nCommunity support is a vital factor in Web 3 grant applications. Engage and onboard your community, making them active participants in the process. Utilize platforms like Discord, Twitter, and Telegram to foster a sense of belonging. Moreover, extend your involvement beyond your own project and actively contribute to other initiatives. Building connections and collaborating with fellow creators can amplify your project\u2019s visibility and strengthen your chances of success.\\n\\n### 5. Develop a Comprehensive Strategy: Mobilize Your Efforts\\n\\nEffective grant applications require more than just assembling a team and writing a proposal. You need a comprehensive strategy to mobilize your efforts and fortify your proposals. Develop a robust marketing plan that aligns all aspects of your project, creating a compelling narrative that garners support and credibility.

\\n\\nThe world of decentralized systems is undergoing a significant evolution, triggered by the imperative quest for privacy and scalability solutions. The technology under our microscope today is zero-knowledge technology, the inherent strengths of which, developers are tirelessly examining for possible integration into Push Protocol.\\n\\nIn the ensuing sections, we will navigate through the intricacies of these technologies, the potential of their union, the challenges on the horizon, and their practical use cases. By shedding light on the role of zero-knowledge tech in decentralized communication, we aim to foster an environment conducive to novel breakthroughs in decentralized coordination and collaboration. We hope to stimulate the intellectual curiosity of developers and community members, spurring them to contribute actively to the governance and progressive development of Push Protocol.\\n\\n## Zero-Knowledge Proofs and Rollups: Enhancing Scalability\\n\\n### An Exploration into Zero-Knowledge Proofs: zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs\\n\\nZero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) function as cryptographic keys, enabling one entity to convince another of their knowledge without giving away the details. The two leading constructions of ZKP, zk-SNARKs and zk-STARKs, present varying trade-offs when it comes to proof size, verification speed, and computational requisites.\\n\\n### The Mechanism of Rollups: A Second-Layer Scaling Panacea\\n\\nRollups, a potent second-layer solution, compress multiple transactions or operations off-chain into a single proof that then finds a place in the underlying blockchain. This strategy significantly reduces the load on-chain and enhances speed and throughput. Zero-knowledge rollups amalgamate the strengths of ZKP with scalability optimization, all while maintaining a high standard of privacy and security.\\n\\n## How Might ZKRs be used in Push Protocol?\\n\\nIncorporating zero-knowledge rollups into the Push Protocol can bring about a wide range of benefits. In the following section, we\u2019re going to look at how different features of ZKR can power Push Protocol. At the same time, we want to inspire our community to think about the future design of the underlying protocol that enables decentralized communication for web3. We also hope to encourage proposals that could shape the next stage of the protocol\u2019s development.\\n\\n### Minimized On-Chain Data Footprint and Latency\\n\\nIncorporating zero-knowledge rollups facilitates the compression of multiple messages or transactions into a single proof. This mechanism minimizes on-chain data footprint and latency, allowing quicker message delivery and a surge in throughput.\\n\\n### High Throughput Coupled with Uncompromised Security\\n\\nZero-knowledge rollups help maintain privacy and security, despite increased throughput. The off-chain bundling of messages retains their integrity and confidentiality, aiding developers in designing high-performance applications without compromising user privacy.\\n\\n### Full-proof Confidentiality in Messaging\\n\\nThe integration of zk-SNARKs or zk-STARKs in the Push Protocol allows developers to ensure absolute confidentiality in messages. This encryption extends to the content, sender, and receiver information. These ZKPs ensure privacy-preserving authentication and message verification without revealing sensitive details.\\n\\n### Seamless Communication Across Multiple Blockchains\\n\\nThe inclusion of zero-knowledge proofs into Push Protocol could catalyze cross-chain interoperability. This integration would enhance the overall utility of the protocol, promote a more interconnected and efficient decentralized ecosystem, and create new opportunities for dApps and zkdApps.\\n\\nAs we stand today, the integration of zero-knowledge rollups into the Push Protocol is already ripe with potential, opening up a wealth of applications and enhancements. However, as we cast our gaze towards the horizon, the maturing landscape of zero-knowledge technology promises even more exciting opportunities for exploration and improvement within Push.\\n\\n## Future Developments & Experimentation\\n\\nThe evolutionary journey of zero-knowledge technology opens up avenues to explore new applications and improvements within Push Protocol. Recursive proofs, proof aggregation, and efficient proof generation are among the intriguing areas of ongoing research and experimentation.\\n\\nRecursive proofs: Recursive proofs can enhance the efficiency of Push Protocol by reducing the computational and storage requirements. This approach can also offer innovative methods to perform specific actions based on message data.\\n\\nProof aggregation: Proof aggregation can significantly reduce the on-chain data footprint, thereby improving scalability and lowering associated costs.\\n\\nEfficient proof generation: Research and development to improve proof generation algorithms could pave the way for faster, more scalable communication in Push Protocol while preserving privacy.\\n\\n## Push & ZK in Action: Unveiling the Benefits of Integrating ZKR into Push\\n\\nIntegrating Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZKR) into Push Protocol offers diverse benefits in real-world applications. This section highlights key use cases where this integration significantly impacts the world of decentralized communication.\\n\\n### Decentralized finance and privacy-preserving transactions\\n\\nThe marriage of zero-knowledge tech and Push Protocol can create a foundation for privacy-preserving messages in DeFi applications. Furthermore, this integration facilitates secure, real-time communication between participants in DeFi ecosystems, enhancing user experience and trust.\\n\\n### IoT networks and data sharing\\n\\nIn the vast world of IoT networks, zero-knowledge techniques integrated with Push Protocol can ensure data privacy and security.

Unlike traditional chat systems tied to wallet addresses, Push NFT Chat allows chats to be specifically associated with individual NFTs owned by users. This is a game changer for chat integrations.\\n\\nWith Push NFT Chat, users now have the flexibility to choose whether their communications remain connected to their NFTs or their wallets.\\n\\nSo how does it all work?\\n\\n## Understanding Encryption Methodology of Push NFT Chat\\n\\nThe encryption methodology employed by Push Chat ensures secure and private communication while supporting the unique requirements of Push NFT Chat. Both Push Chat and Push NFT Chat rely on PGP keys which form the foundation for wallet-to-wallet communication. These keys are encrypted and stored on the Push Network, facilitating end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) universal inboxes.\\n\\nPush NFT Chat utilises a distinct encryption mechanism specifically tailored to support NFT chats. This approach combines security and versatility, allowing seamless integration with NFTs. The encryption process involves a three-pass encryption procedure for new users:\\n\\n1. A secret key is generated on the client side, automatically by the SDK, with the user having the option to choose the secret key if desired.\\n2. The generated secret key is then used to encrypt the locally generated PGP key on the client side.\\n3. Subsequently, the wallet encrypts the secret key itself, along with the encrypted PGP key. The encrypted versions of both the secret key and the PGP key are stored on the Push nodes.\\n\\nDespite the integration of NFT-specific features, the default behaviour of Push Chat remains intact. Users still sign in once to unlock their Push Profiles and initiate messaging. However, the updated implementation now offers support for chat and connection transfers when moving NFTs to different wallets.\\n\\nThis means, even if you move your NFT from one wallet to another, your chats still remain tied to that NFT. In the case of transferring ownership of your NFT, unless you give that new owner your password, they\u2019ll be required to create a new chat profile and hence be unable to access your previous chats tied to the NFT (more on ownership transfer in Step 5 of Getting Started).\\n\\nThis enhanced functionality ensures a seamless and continuous user experience while maintaining the security and privacy of communications.\\n\\nThe encryption methodology of Push Chat guarantees the protection of user data and enables the integration of NFTs into the communication framework, empowering users to securely connect and communicate in the context of their NFTs.\\n\\n## Getting Started with Push NFT Chat\\n\\nTo get started with Push NFT Chat, the easiest approach is to utilise the Push SDK package. This can be seamlessly integrated into your frontend to develop custom NFT-tied chat systems. Additionally, Push NFT Chat can be deployed in the backend to implement automated chatbots or systems.\\n\\nThis guide is designed to showcase the straightforward process of building an NFT chat system with Push NFT Chat. Despite the complexity of the underlying logic, the Push Protocol abstracts away the intricacies, making the implementation remarkably simple for developers.\\n\\nFor the purpose of this guide, we will walk through the process of writing a simple TypeScript script to send NFT-tied chat messages.\\n\\n## Step 1: Setting up the Environment\\n\\nTo begin, you need to set up your development environment.\\n\\nEnsure that you have the necessary dependencies installed, such as Node.js, TypeScript and ts-node. Create a new project directory and initialise it with a package.json file. Install the Push SDK package which will fetch and install the required dependencies.\\n\\n```js\\n# create project directory\\nmkdir nft-chat-guide\\n# browse to project directory\\ncd nft-chat-guide\\n# Initialise the project\\nnpm init --y\\n# Install the dependencies\\nnpm install @pushprotocol/restapi@latest ethers@^5.6\\n# Create the main ts file\\ntouch index.ts\\n```\\n\\n
Note: ethers is a peer dependency required by the restapi package
\\n\\n## Step 2: Creating an NFT-Chat Profile\\n\\nBefore you can create an NFT-Chat profile, it is essential to have a wallet that owns an NFT. This ensures that you have a unique NFT to associate with your chat profile. You have the flexibility to choose from various options: you can utilise any NFT available or even create your own NFT contract and mint some NFTs specifically for this purpose.\\n\\n```js\\n# setup .env file to store private info safely\\ntouch .env\\nnpm install dotenv\\n# type definitions for nodeJs\\nnpm install --save @types/node\\n```\\n\\nInside index.ts add the following code to create a Push NFT chat profile.\\n\\n```js\\nimport { PushAPI } from \'@pushprotocol/restapi\'\\nimport { ENV } from \'@pushprotocol/restapi/src/lib/constants\'\\nimport * as dotenv from \'dotenv\'\\nimport { ethers } from \'ethers\'\\ndotenv.config()\\n\\n// using staging environment\\nconst env = ENV.STAGING\\n\\n/**\\n* Creates a Push NFT Profile\\n* @param signer - signer of wallet which owns the NFT\\n* @param account - NFT account\\n* @param password - password of NFT Profile\\n*/\\nconst PushAPI_nft_user_create = async (\\n signer: ethers.Signer,\\n account: string,\\n password: string\\n) => {\\n const response = await PushAPI.user.create({\\n account,\\n signer,\\n env,\\n additionalMeta: { NFTPGP_V1: { password } },\\n })\\n return response\\n}\\n\\nconst NFT_CHAT = async () => {\\n // private key of wallet holding the NFT\\n const nftHolderWalletPrivatekey1 = process.env.NFT_HOLDER_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY_1\\n const nftSigner1 = new ethers.Wallet(`0x${nftHolderWalletPrivatekey1}`)\\n // nft:eip155:${nftChainId}:${nftContractAddress}:${nftTokenId}\\n const nftAccount1 =\\n \'nft:eip155:11155111:0x42af3147f17239341477113484752d5d3dda997b:2\'\\n // user preferred profile password\\n const nftProfilePassword1 = \'@PushNFTProfile#01\'\\n const pushProfile1 = await PushAPI_nft_user_create(\\n nftSigner1,\\n nftAccount1,\\n nftProfilePassword1\\n )\\n console.log(pushProfile1)\\n}\\n\\nNFT_CHAT()\\n```\\n\\nBehind the scenes, the Push SDK handles the creation of data for your Push profile, incorporating verification proofs that are subsequently verified by the Push nodes. These verification proofs help establish the authenticity and integrity of your profile within the Push network.\\n\\nMoreover, the Push nodes play a crucial role in verifying the ownership of the NFT associated with your wallet on the blockchain. This verification process ensures that the NFT is genuinely owned by your wallet address, providing a secure and reliable connection between your NFT and your NFT-Chat profile.\\n\\n### Step 3: Sending messages to another Push Profile\\n\\nAn NFT-Push Chat Profile can send messages to another NFT-Push Profile or a wallet-based Push profile. In the following example, we would see how one NFT Profile can send a message to another NFT Profile.\\n\\n```js\\nimport { PushAPI } from \'@pushprotocol/restapi\';\\nimport { ENV } from \'@pushprotocol/restapi/src/lib/constants\';\\nimport * as dotenv from \'dotenv\';\\nimport { ethers } from \'ethers\';\\ndotenv.config();\\n\\n// using staging environment\\nconst env = ENV.STAGING;\\n\\nconst NFT_CHAT = async () => {\\n /**\\n * 1. PROFILE CREATIONS\\n */\\n // 1.1 Create PushProfile#1\\n const nftSigner1 = new ethers.Wallet(\\n `0x${process.env.NFT_HOLDER_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY_1}`\\n );\\n const nftAccount1 =\\n \'nft:eip155:11155111:0x42af3147f17239341477113484752d5d3dda997b:2\';\\n const nftProfilePassword1 = \'@PushNFTProfile#01\';\\n const pushProfile1 = await PushAPI.user.create({\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n signer: nftSigner1,\\n env,\\n additionalMeta: { NFTPGP_V1: { password: nftProfilePassword1 } },\\n });\\n // 1.2 Create PushProfile#2\\n const nftSigner2 = new ethers.Wallet(\\n `0x${process.env.NFT_HOLDER_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY_2}`\\n );\\n const nftAccount2 =\\n \'nft:eip155:11155111:0x42af3147f17239341477113484752d5d3dda997b:3\';\\n const nftProfilePassword2 = \'@PushNFTProfile#02\';\\n const pushProfile2 = await PushAPI.user.create({\\n account: nftAccount2,\\n signer: nftSigner2,\\n env,\\n additionalMeta: { NFTPGP_V1: { password: nftProfilePassword2 } },\\n });\\n /**\\n * 2. SENDING MESSAGE FROM PROFILE#1 TO PROFILE#2\\n */\\n // 2.1 Decrypt keys for PushProfile#1\\n const decryptedPGPPrivateKey = await PushAPI.chat.decryptPGPKey({\\n encryptedPGPPrivateKey: pushProfile1.encryptedPrivateKey,\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n signer: nftSigner1,\\n });\\n // 2.2 send the actual message\\n const response = await PushAPI.chat.send({\\n messageContent: \\"Gm gm! It\'s me... Mario\\",\\n messageType: \'Text\', // can be \\"Text\\" | \\"Image\\" | \\"File\\" | etc\\n receiverAddress: nftAccount2,\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n pgpPrivateKey: decryptedPGPPrivateKey,\\n env: env,\\n });\\n console.log(response);\\n};\\n\\nNFT_CHAT();\\n```\\n\\nIn the Push NFT Chat system, messages are encrypted using the PGP public key of the intended receiver. This encryption ensures that only the recipient\u2019s Push profile possesses the corresponding private key required to decrypt and access the chats. By utilizing PGP encryption, the security and confidentiality of the messages are upheld, providing a trusted communication channel.\\n\\nTo ensure decentralized storage and robust availability, the messages in Push NFT Chat are stored on IPFS. IPFS allows for distributed and peer-to-peer storage, ensuring that the messages are not reliant on a single central server. This decentralized storage approach enhances data resilience and availability, making the system more robust against failures or data loss.\\n\\nIn order to maintain a controlled and spam-free communication experience, when one Push profile attempts to send a message to another profile, it is delivered as an intent rather than a direct message. This means that the message is sent to the receiver as a request or proposal, requiring their approval before it is fully delivered and visible in their chat. This intent-based delivery system helps prevent spamming and unwanted messages, ensuring that the recipient has control over the content they receive.\\n\\n## Step 4: Getting chats, requests and approving intents\\n\\nContinuing from Step 3. we would now fetch all requests received by an NFT Profile and approve the intent.\\n\\n```js\\n\\n...\\n...\\n\\n /**\\n * 3.

Starting as a fresh new Push Chat Profile with no previous history of past NFT owner chats.\\n\\n```js\\n...\\n...\\n /**\\n * 4 PUSHPROFILE#1 TRANSFERRED NFT TO ANOTHER WALLET\\n */\\n const newNftSigner1 = new ethers.Wallet(\\n `0x${process.env.NEW_NFT_HOLDER_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY_1}`\\n )\\n const newNftProfilePassword1 = \'@NEWPushNFTProfile#01\'\\n // 4.1 New NFT Owner resets the Push NFT Profile\\n const newPushProfile1 = await PushAPI.user.create({\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n signer: newNftSigner1,\\n env,\\n additionalMeta: { NFTPGP_V1: { password: newNftProfilePassword1 } },\\n })\\n}\\n\\nNFT_CHAT()\\n```\\n\\n### 2. Continue with the chats of previous NFT owners.\\n\\n```js\\n...\\n...\\n /**\\n * 4 PUSHPROFILE#1 TRANSFERRED NFT TO ANOTHER WALLET\\n */\\n const newNftSigner1 = new ethers.Wallet(\\n `0x${process.env.NEW_NFT_HOLDER_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY_1}`\\n )\\n const newNftProfilePassword1 = \'@NEWPushNFTProfile#01\'\\n // 4.1 Decrypt the keys from password of the previous owner\\n const profile1DecryptedPGPPrivateKey = await PushAPI.chat.decryptPGPKey({\\n encryptedPGPPrivateKey: pushProfile1.encryptedPrivateKey,\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n env: env,\\n additionalMeta: {\\n NFTPGP_V1: {\\n password: nftProfilePassword1,\\n },\\n },\\n })\\n // 4.2 New NFT Owner continues with the Old Profile with re-encrypting keys with new Wallet\\n await PushAPI.user.auth.update({\\n pgpPrivateKey: profile1DecryptedPGPPrivateKey,\\n pgpEncryptionVersion: ENCRYPTION_TYPE.NFTPGP_V1,\\n signer: newNftSigner1,\\n pgpPublicKey: pushProfile1.publicKey,\\n account: nftAccount1,\\n env: env,\\n additionalMeta: {\\n NFTPGP_V1: {\\n password: newNftProfilePassword1, //new nft profile password\\n },\\n },\\n })\\n}\\n\\nNFT_CHAT()\\n```\\n\\nContinuing the chats of the previous NFT owner requires the previous owner\u2019s password. This means that the previous owner of the NFT has the option to decide whether or not to hand over the password to the new NFT owner.\\n\\nWhen ownership of an NFT tied to a chat profile is transferred from one individual to another, the previous owner\u2019s password is necessary to maintain access to the ongoing chats associated with that NFT. This approach ensures that the new NFT owner does not automatically inherit access to the previous owner\u2019s private conversations without explicit authorization.\\n\\nBy giving control over the password transfer to the previous NFT owner, Push NFT Chat respects the privacy and consent of all parties involved. It provides a transparent process where the previous owner can choose to share or withhold the password, allowing for a seamless transition of NFT ownership while maintaining the security and confidentiality of the chat history.\\n\\n## Exploring Additional Capabilities of Push NFT Chat\\n\\n- [Creating Public / Private Groups for NFT Chat Profiles](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sdk/blob/88bafe49d489cfe399efa7166407a50574995b16/packages/examples/sdk-backend-node/src/main.ts#L1390)\\n- [Listening to Chat Socket Events for NFT Chat Profiles](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sdk/blob/88bafe49d489cfe399efa7166407a50574995b16/packages/examples/sdk-backend-node/src/main.ts#L1546)"},{"id":"june-monthly-recap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/june-monthly-recap","source":"@site/blog/2023-07-04-push-recap-june-2023/index.md","title":"June Monthly Recap \ud83c\udf05","description":"Cover image of June Monthly Recap \ud83c\udf05","date":"2023-07-04T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 4, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Web3 Tools","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3-tools"}],"readingTime":2.6,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"june-monthly-recap","title":"June Monthly Recap \ud83c\udf05","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"What a month it\u2019s been at Push!

Built on the Ethereum layer 2 system StarkWare, dYdX leverages zero-knowledge proofs to provide enhanced security, decentralization, and privacy to its users.\\n\\nAt its core, dYdX is designed for trading perpetuals, which unlike traditional futures or options, do not have expiration dates. This allows traders to speculate on the future value of an underlying asset indefinitely. This unique offering has attracted both institutional and retail traders, making dYdX one of the most popular exchanges in the market.\\n\\nThe collaboration between dYdX and Push is a game-changer in the DeFi industry, empowering traders worldwide with powerful, transparent, and fair financial products. dYdX\u2019s mission to democratize access to financial opportunity aligns perfectly with Push\u2019s commitment to fostering transparency and communication. Together, dYdX and Push are working together to enhance accessibility and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable financial future.\\n\\nIn this edition of \u201cFrens of Push,\u201d we had the privilege of interviewing Cliffton Lee, Governance and SEA Lead at dYdX. Join us as we delve into the inner workings of dYdX, learn how they\u2019re using Push\u2019s communication layer, and gain insights into the vision and goals that drive this innovative DeFi platform.\\n\\n### 1. Hi Cliffton, what\u2019s your story? How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\n\\nMy name is Cliffton, and I work on all things Governance and Growth for the SEA region at the dYdX Foundation. I first got into crypto in 2017 when I purchased some BTC and ETH on Coinbase as an experiment, and it was only in 2020 that I went deep down the web3 rabbithole and deeply appreciated the importance of decentralized technologies, and how cryptography could enable that. I was drawn into Ethereum\u2019s roadmap, scalability strategies via rollups, and this was how I got involved with dYdX.\\n\\n### 2. Tell us about dYdX \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does dYdX solve?\\n\\ndYdX is the leading decentralized crypto perpetuals trading exchange. dYdX\u2019s mission is to democratize access to financial opportunity. Few have access to advanced tools and products in the financial system, and dYdX believes in empowering more traders, in more places, with powerful, transparent, and fair financial products.\\n\\nWhile trading on dYdX, traders enjoy the security, privacy and decentralization benefits.\\ndYdX is currently built on top of StarkEx, a layer 2 zero knowledge rollup to Ethereum, and there is works ongoing to build the next version of dYdX v4. dYdX v4 will be fully decentralized end to end, and will be a layer 1 Proof-of-Stake blockchain built using the Cosmos SDK.\\n\\n### 3. How do developers use dYdX?\\n\\nDeveloper documentation: https://dydxprotocol.github.io/v3-teacher/#terms-of-service-and-privacy-policy\\n\\nThese docs describe the v3 API for the dYdX decentralized perpetual contracts exchange. The exchange runs on an L2 (layer-2) blockchain system, and operates independently of previous dYdX protocols and systems, including the v1 and v2 APIs.\\n\\nLike the previous iteration of dYdX perpetuals, the exchange uses a centralized order book, but remains non-custodial, and settles trades and liquidations in a trustless manner.\\n\\n### 4. What\u2019s the 2023 plan for dYdX and its ecosystem?\\n\\nThe main goal is to ship dYdX v4, and to enable the progressive decentralization of the protocol via governance.\\n\\n### 5. How is dYdX using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\ndYdX users currently use Push to get notified of governance updates. Currently, dYdX stakeholders can subscribe to receive notifications when:\\n\\n- A DRC is created\\n- The voting process for DRC begins\\n- A DIP is created\\n- The voting for the DIP is activated\\n- The DIP is queued\\n- The DIP is implemented\\n\\n### 6. How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nGreat! Community members have reached out mentioning that Push has been helpful in keeping them notified of what\u2019s happening on the governance front. We\u2019ve seen better engagement rates and higher vote participation.\\n\\n### 7. What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nWith dYdX moving to the Cosmos ecosystem, we\u2019re hoping that Push can be compatible with the Cosmos SDK to continue this notification functionality.\\n\\n## About dYdX\\n\\ndYdX is a DEX on Ethereum providing a transparent and secure financial ecosystem for crypto trading. With a focus on empowering traders, dYdX provides advanced trading features such as margin trading and perpetual swaps. The platform utilizes a traditional orderbook + matching model for trading and has emerged as one of the most popular DEXes in the market.\\n\\nLearn all about dYdX: [Website](https://dydx.exchange/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/dydx), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/Tuze6tY), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/c/dYdXprotocol), [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/dydxprotocol/), [github](https://github.com/dydxprotocol)"},{"id":"how-push-protocol-can-revolutionize-data-driven-decision-making","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-protocol-can-revolutionize-data-driven-decision-making","source":"@site/blog/2023-06-29-monitoring-analytics-real-time/index.md","title":"How Push Protocol Can Revolutionize Data-Driven Decision Making\ud83d\udcca","description":"Cover image of How Push Protocol Can Revolutionize Data-Driven Decision Making\ud83d\udcca","date":"2023-06-29T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"June 29, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Web3 Tools","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3-tools"},{"label":"Web3 Data Analytics","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3-data-analytics"},{"label":"Data Analytics","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/data-analytics"}],"readingTime":3.0433333333333334,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"how-push-protocol-can-revolutionize-data-driven-decision-making","title":"How Push Protocol Can Revolutionize Data-Driven Decision Making\ud83d\udcca","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"In today\u2019s fast-paced business environment, accessing and analyzing data in real-time is critical to making informed decisions.

Since then, NFTs have gained significant popularity, transforming how we perceive and interact with digital art, collectibles, virtual real estate, and more.\\n\\nHowever, as the NFT space evolved, it became apparent that the ERC-721 standard had certain limitations. For one, the ERC-721 was not compatible with smart contracts and dApps across Ethereum. Additionally, due to static JSON metadata, ERC-721 tokens are inflexible when it comes to Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) codes, security, and efficiency.\\n\\nRecognizing the need to address these limitations, and enable NFTs to evolve over time, a new standard had to be introduced. Enter the ERC-6551 standard!\\n\\n## Understanding ERC-6551\\n\\nERC-6551, also known as token-bound accounts (or TBA), builds upon the ERC-721 standard by introducing smart contract capabilities to NFTs.\\n\\nWhat does this mean?\\n\\nTBA creates a smart contract wallet for each ERC-721, allowing them to perform transactions, interact with other dApps, hold tokens or other NFTs, or serve as an on-chain identity. TBA is also backward compatible with the ERC-721 standard, meaning that ERC-721 tokens can implement the ERC-6551 standard without requiring any significant modifications.\\n\\n## How Does ERC-6551 Work?\\n\\nThe ERC-6551 standard leverages a permissionless registry that is compatible with existing ERC-721 tokens. This registry serves as a factory and directory for creating and managing token-bound accounts. By calling a function on the registry and paying a small fee, anyone can create a token-bound account for an ERC-721 token. The registry deploys a proxy contract that represents the token-bound account, inheriting all the properties and metadata of the original ERC-721 token.\\n\\nThe proxy contract incorporates the EIP-1271 standard, enabling the token-bound account to sign messages and verify signatures on behalf of the NFT. This capability empowers token-bound accounts to interact with other smart contracts, including any dApps on the Ethereum network.\\n\\n## What Are the Core Benefits of ERC-6551 in the NFT Space?\\n\\n1. Enhanced Composability\\n2. On-chain Interactivity\\n3. Trackable History\\n4. Metadata flexibility\\n\\n### Enhanced Composability\\n\\nERC-6551 allows for the bundling of NFTs with related assets, such as tokens or other NFTs, into a single profile. By consolidating tokens, assets, and NFTs within a single TBA, users can effortlessly transfer assets and seamlessly switch between platforms, greatly enhancing their experience.\\n\\n### On-chain Interactivity\\n\\nERC-6551 enables you to use your NFT address as your on-chain identity and hence interact with other on-chain smart contracts and dApps on the Ethereum network. All without relying on a wallet address.\\n\\n### Trackable History\\n\\nERC-6551 solves the problem of limited transaction history associated with traditional NFTs. With token-bound accounts, owners can obtain insights into an asset\u2019s transaction history and utility beyond simple proof of ownership. This transparency adds value to NFTs and fosters trust and confidence among collectors and creators.\\n\\nMoreover, based on an NFT\u2019s history, loyalty programs, in-game rewards, airdrops, and more can leverage this new functionality. For lending protocols, this could even facilitate the establishment of credit ratings in the future.\\n\\n### Metadata flexibility\\n\\nERC-721 NFTs have immutable JSON metadata. That is, once the NFT is minted the data can\u2019t be changed. Conversely, ERC-6551 NFTs leave room for additional data and values to be added on the token, making them infinitely more flexible.\\n\\n## Potential Use Case Example: In-game enhancements\\n\\nPrior to the introduction of ERC-6551, players could own their in-game characters as ERC-721 NFTs. However, the assets they collected within the game existed as separate tokens in their wallets.\\n\\nToken-bound accounts change this dynamic by allowing game developers to create \u201cinventories\u201d for players. This means that all game-related assets can be automatically transferred into the character\u2019s wallet, resulting in a smoother user experience. It also enables the creation of in-game user interfaces (UIs) that were previously challenging to implement.\\n\\nWhile this example is only one way ERC-6551 NFTs can be used, there are many more applications across DeFi, DAOs, and general web3 tools.\\n\\nTo read more about ERC-6551 EIP, you can do so here \ud83d\udc49 https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6551\\n\\nBig congratulations and thank you to the team who helped author this incredible development: Jayden Windle, Benny Giang, Steve Jang, Druzy Downs, Raymond Huynh, Alanah Lam, Wilkins Chung, Paul Sullivan.\\n\\n## Pushing the Boundaries of ERC-6551 with Push NFT-to-NFT Chat\\n\\nIn addition to the release of ERC-6551, Push NFT Chat is also here, providing even more potential utility for NFTs.\\n\\nPush NFT Chat enables chats to be tied to a specific NFT owned by you, instead of a chat owned by a wallet address. Built as an extension of Push Chat, Push NFT Chat benefits from all the intuitive, user-centric features that Push Chat has while revolutionizing the way NFT holders interact.\\n\\nBy introducing web3 native NFT-to-NFT and dApp-to-NFT instant communication, we\u2019ll be adding to the suite of enhancements that the recently launched ERC-6551 is also bringing to NFTs in web3.\\n\\nMore info about Push NFT Chat \ud83d\udc49 https://push-protocol.medium.com/introducing-push-nft-chat-chats-and-comms-tied-to-your-nfts-done-right-98717c04438d\\n\\nERC-6551 might just be the dawn of a new era of NFTs. This game-changing standard is set to break free from the limitations of static assets, paving the way for dynamic, interconnected digital experiences.

\\n\\n## How does Push NFT Chat work?\\n\\nThe message abilities and features of Push NFT Chat are still based on PGP keys that power wallet-to-wallet Push Chat and are encrypted and stored on Push Network to enable an E2EE universal inbox. However, there are different features that enable Push NFT Chat, tie communication to the NFT, and validate it.\\n\\n### Encryption\\n\\nPush NFT Chat uses a different encryption mechanism to encrypt the PGP key. This is what makes it secure yet versatile to support NFT chats. Push NFT Chat uses three pass encryption and is done in the following way for a new user:\\n\\n- A secret key is randomly created for the user on client side, this is automated by SDK and invisible to the user though their are options available for a user to choose the secret key if they want.\\n- This secret key is then used to encrypt the PGP key generated locally on the client side.\\n- This secret key is then encrypted by the wallet of the user and the encrypted version of it and the encrypted PGP key is stored on the Push nodes.\\n\\nThis approach still results in the default behavior of signing once to unlock Push Profiles and start messaging, though it is now also capable of supporting chat and connections transfers when and if you move your NFT to another wallet.\\n\\nThis is enabled because of the three pass encryption which means your PGP keys can be decrypted and re-encrypted by a user if they have access to the secret key. Since the key itself is encrypted by the current wallet which holds that NFT, the decryption process doesn\u2019t require manually entering the secret key as wallet signing is used to derive the decrypted secret key.\\n\\nThis creates an intuitive UX where user is not hassled by the experience while still gaining the crucial feature of truly connecting their chats and connections with the NFT.\\n\\n## Address Format\\n\\nApart from the way encryption is handled, the NFT chat uses a different address format for communication owing to them having access to various NFTs from the same wallet. The address format is `nft:eip155:${nftChainId}:${nftContractAddress}:${nftTokenId}`.\\n\\n
\\n For example:Lens NFT Chat will result in the address format as nft:eip155:137:0xDb46d1Dc155634FbC732f92E853b10B288AD5a1d:44433\\n
\\n\\nEach address format representing identifiers as follows:\\n\\n1. `nft` -> To segregate whether chat profile is for wallet or nft\\n2. `eip155` -> Identifier for all EVM chains as per CAIP10, in the future other blockchain identifiers (non-Ethereum ones) will also be supported\\n3. `${\'nftChainId\'}` -> Chain id on which the NFT is present, in case of Lens, it\u2019s on Polygon whose chain id is 137\\n4. `${\'nftContractAddress\'}` -> The contract address of the NFT, in case of Lens, it\u2019s contract address for NFT is 0xDb46d1Dc155634FbC732f92E853b10B288AD5a1d\\n5. `${\'nftTokenId\'}` -> The token id of the particular NFT held by the wallet of the user, in this example, we have taken that as 44433\\n\\n## Transferring the NFT\\n\\nThe key pair is encrypted by a secret key selected by the NFT holder. When the NFT holder decides to transfer the NFT to another user, two possible scenarios can occur:\\n\\n- In the first scenario, the original owner can choose to send the new owner the secret key. This allows the new owner to decrypt all the chat messages associated with the NFT. This option ensures the continuity of the chat messages within the NFT.\\n\\n
\\nThe original owner doesn\u2019t have to remember or even decide this secret on creation as that can handled by the frontend or the SDK including encrypting it with your wallet (though the user is free to override it).\\n
\\n\\n- In the second scenario, the new owner doesn\u2019t have a secret key at which point the NFT profile is created afresh. However, this means that the new owner will not have access to any previous chat messages linked to that NFT. This option prioritizes the security of the chat messages and ensures that no one else has access to them.\\n\\n
\\nThese two options enable pure, native NFT chat that is truly tied to a user NFT without sacrificing the security or the ability of transferring communication and connections. Instead, giving the control back to the user to decide what they want to do with their communications that they did with their NFT.\\n

Here\u2019s what we achieved in Phase 0:\\n\\n### Metagovernance\\n\\n- Implemented 4 roles with different capabilities to allow community members to participate in Push governance in a variety of ways. DAO members can vote directly in governance proposals or delegate their voting power to a delegate that represents their ideals.\\n- Learning from best practices from other successful DAOs, we created an efficient mechanism to enable faster implementation and execution of important proposals that got immediate traction within the community.\\n- Implemented PIPs (Push Improvement Proposals) to enable Push Protocol to work together with the community to form standardized, community-driven improvements, specs, and standards.\\n- PGIP (Push Governance Improvement Proposals) and rewards: intended to open the floor for contributors with suggestions to improve the Governance process. These come attached with rewards upon the successful ratification and implementation of proposals.\\n\\n### Push Grants Program\\n\\n- After the successful first Grants Program, we took the feedback from the grantees and the community and launched the Push Grants Program v2.0.\\n- PGPv2.0 enhances the companionship offered to projects and emphasizes a collaboration in which Projects grow hand by hand with Push \u2014 including guidance, mentorship, technical support, partnership intros, and more.\\n- As of April 2023, the [Push Grants Ecosystem](https://twitter.com/Push_DAO/status/1638221385288785926) is made of 27 projects. More applications are already in queue to be reviewed by the Push Grants Review Committee.\\n\\n### Other Supporting Initiatives\\n\\n- Rockstars of Push: With the success of the original Rockstars of EPNS campaign, we extended the program one more season with Rockstars of Push vol2. The program is almost half way through and more and more we receive submissions from hackers, media content producers, and Push community members in general.\\n- Push Bug Bounty Program: Approved via governance to allow community members and security researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities in our systems\\n\\n## Enter Push DAO Phase 1\\n\\nIn the next phase of the Push DAO, we\u2019ll focus on setting the foundation to achieve sufficient decentralization (community ownership). By building the Push DAO in a modular fashion over time, we intend to empower our community to work on initiatives that further the goals of the organization.\\n\\nPush DAO phase 1 highlights:\\n\\n- Official Start Date: April 3rd, 2023\\n- Push Ambassadors Program v1.0\\n- Community-Managed Push Grants Program\\n- Open the floor for Push Contributors\\n- DAO infrastructure\\n\\n### Push Ambassadors Program v1.0\\n\\nThe Push Ambassadors Program kicked-off phase 1 of the Push Decentralization Roadmap on April 3rd, 2023.\\n\\n- Initial focus on LATAM and Spanish-speaking communities\\n- Marketing objective: Brand awareness. With content production in various platforms and formats.\\n- Create a replicable Ambassadors Program that can be installed in other communities.\\n\\nThis program will run in the paid contributor modality, where the ambassadors will be the first official community contributors to the Push DAO. This comes together with contributor reputation and other important DAO activities that need to happen to build an effective, efficient, and decentralized DAO.\\n\\n### Community-managed Push Grants Program\\n\\nLessons learned during this second iteration of the Push Grants Program will be implemented for future editions to improve even more the program and maximize the benefit for the grantees. The process is now being fine-tuned to have minimal social coordination cost and enable the program to be managed by a Grants Workstream.\\n\\nMore details will be shared as we advance towards completing this goal!\\n\\n### Open the floor for Push Contributors\\n\\nThis will be an ongoing process that will happen slowly through the rest of the year in a controlled fashion, where the team will work closely with the contributors.\\n\\nSlowly giving control of the work streams to the community, and more important making sure all governance infrastructure and procedures are in place to empower the community and each work stream to operate, grow, and take decisions.\\n\\nThis will include the gradual influence of the Push DAO over earmarked PUSH allocation. The funds set aside for the Push DAO will eventually be entirely controlled by the DAO, and allocated towards initiatives voted on and approved through on-chain governance. This could include event sponsorships, developer grants, marketing initiatives, and more. The Community Fund, which currently sits with the Push Protocol entity, can choose to fund the Push DAO fund with more PUSH as requested from the DAO.\\n\\n

This milestone signifies a significant step forward in ensuring the robustness and reliability of our platform.\\n\\n## Key Takeaways\\n\\n1. The two main features introduced in version 2 of our smart contracts are:\\n\\n - Push Fee Pool Staking\\n - Incentivized Chat Requests\\n\\n2. With the launch of v2, the protocol aims to not only enhance the utility of the PUSH token but also enable an incentivization mechanism from the protocol level for all its users.\\n\\n3. $PUSH token holders shall now be able to earn incentives directly from the protocol. $PUSH tokens time based rewards multiplier also comes live. ie: the longer you have held the tokens, the higher your rewards will be.\\n\\n4. The design of v2 contracts ensures that the incentives for users are directly tied to the protocol. As the protocol expands its boundaries, the incentives for users that can be claimed from the contracts increase. This implies that the more the protocol grows, the better the incentives become for users.\\n\\n5. Incentivized Push Chat is a new feature introduced with version 2, that allows users to set a one-time fee for receiving chat requests. With the introduction of this feature, users will not only gain enhanced control over incoming chat requests but also embark on a novel avenue for passive earnings.\\n\\n## What\u2019s next?\\n\\n- Push Protocol v2 tentative launch date is late June, 2023 along with [yield farming v2 for fee pool and Uniswap v2 LP pool](https://snapshot.org/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Post&utm_campaign=RockstarsOfPushWeek17%2618Post#/pushdao.eth/proposal/0x54092053eff30c3c304e45b575881945192e710bc9b3914bfe1d1eadcda3f114).\\n- This marks the beginning of [protocol fees](https://push.org/docs/tokenomics/deepdive/$push/#push-fee-pool) incentivizing and rewarding token holders and crypto wallets.\\n- Push v2 has cleared Chainsafe audit. However, owing to the core and critical features of v2, the team has decided to launch it after 4 weeks.\\n- This gives team enough time to run white hat contests among major platform(s) to ensure v2 is battle tested.\\n- Prior to the tentative launch in late June, 2023, there will be an open, incentivized bug bounty program available to the community. More information coming soon.\\n\\nTime to dive deeper and understand the core features of Push v2 smart contracts and what it enables for web3 communication.\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Push Fee Pool Staking\\n\\nThe most significant feature of core v2 is the Push Fee Pool Staking.\\n\\nIn simple terms, this means PUSH holders can now stake and earn PUSH rewards directly from the core contract itself. As the protocol grows, so do the rewards.\\n\\n### What\u2019s the Fee Pool?\\n\\nBefore delving into how the Core v2 staking works, let\u2019s take a step back to quickly recap the concept of the Protocol Fee Pool.\\n\\nProtocol Feel Pool was introduced in the Version 1.5 of Push smart contracts. Fee Pool is a term used to signify small fees charged by the protocol actions like channel creation, channel reactivation, channel detail modification. They don\u2019t affect users and for users, everything is always feeless, with the exception of few features for super users as [outlined here](https://push.org/docs/tokenomics/deepdive/$push/#push-fee-pool).\\n\\nIn other words, for every crucial transaction on the Core contract, it takes a small fee amount and stores it in what we call a Push Fee Pool.\\n\\nThe protocol fee is currently set to be equal to 10 PUSH tokens. This value, however, can be changed by the community later using on-chain governance.\\n\\n
Note: This is not an additional fee that is charged on top of channel creation fees. Instead, the protocol fee is simply deducted from the same amount that a channel creator chooses to stake in the protocol.\\nFor example, if you chose to stake 50 PUSH during channel creation, 10 of those 50 PUSH tokens go into Protocol Fee Pool, while the remaining goes into Channel Pool Funds that are claimable by channel owners anytime they choose to deactivate their channel.*\\nRead more about Fee Pool and how it operates over here: https://push.org/docs/tokenomics/deepdive/$push/#push-fee-pool.
\\n\\n## The Fee Pool Staking\\n\\nWith the introduction of [version 1.5 of the core contract](https://medium.com/push-protocol/introducing-push-protocol-v1-5-80eb39b55424), we laid the foundation for the fee pool and the vision of incentivizing PUSH holders. However, the current version represents a substantial leap towards realizing this vision.\\n\\nThe fundamental concept behind the introduction of the fee pool in v1.5 of our contracts was to establish an incentivization mechanism at the protocol level. This mechanism enables both PUSH token holders and protocol users to directly earn incentives from the protocol itself.\\n\\nIt is worth noting that as the protocol expands its boundaries, the incentives available for users to claim from the contracts also improve. This eventually means that the more the protocol grows, the better the incentives for users. The direct correlation between protocol growth and user incentives creates a mutually beneficial relationship within the ecosystem.\\n\\nThe Version 2 of the Core contracts includes Stake and Claim functionalities that allow $PUSH token holders to stake their tokens in the core contract and earn rewards from the fee pool directly.\\n\\n### Details about Core V2 Staking\\n\\n- The staking mechanism in core v2 is technically epoch-based staking. The entire distribution of rewards is split into epochs during which the users can stake and rewards can be accumulated.\\n- Each epoch is ~21 days long or 3 weeks long.\\n- $PUSH token holders can stake their tokens at any given time in the core v2 contract.\\n- $PUSH had time weightage built in the token which also goes live with this update. This means that people who have held push longer are rewarded more the longer they stake.\\n- The total rewards available and claimable in an epoch mainly rely on the protocol\u2019s fee pool, i.e., the amount earned by the protocol itself. The more push tokens accumulated by the protocol during an epoch, the more rewards for the stakers of that specific epoch.\\n- The total rewards are also [bootstrapped with yield farming for the next 84 weeks](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-dao-extends-liquidity-rewards-program-26008926b05a) after the protocol goes live.\\n- The staking algorithm doesn\u2019t impose any lock-in period. This means holders are free to stake or un-stake whenever they wish.\\n- While no lock-in period is imposed, there is a delay period of at least one epoch before a user can withdraw or harvest. This means that any stake during a current epoch will require the user to at least wait T+1 epoch before they can claim rewards or withdraw their harvest. This is done to ensure bad actors can\u2019t misuse epoch duration for unfair rewards.\\n- When it comes to harvesting rewards from the contract, users shall be capable of harvesting rewards for all the epochs in which they were staked. This basically means the longer a user stakes, the more rewards they should be able to harvest.\\n- An important pointer that must be noted here is users cannot claim their rewards for the current epoch. For instance, if a user stakes at epoch 1 and tries to claim at epoch 6 (which is the current epoch), they should be able to claim for epochs 1 to 5. This is because epoch 6 is currently active, and the contract doesn\u2019t allow claiming rewards from a current epoch.\\n\\n## Incentivized Push Chat\\n\\nWhile Push Chat has been bridging the communication gap of the entire web3 world, with the launch of our v2 contracts, we are introducing a new concept called Incentivized Push Chat.\\n\\nA brief glance at the current working mechanism of Push Chat shows us that any valid wallet address (message sender) can send a chat request to any other wallet address (message receiver).\\n\\nAny new chat request sent by the sender simply lands under the requests tab of the receiver. And, the receiver can open, accept and respond to any chat request whenever he/she wants.\\n\\nHowever, in our continuous efforts to empower Push Chat users, we are enhancing the control they have over incoming chat requests. We believe that users should have the autonomy to determine and implement their own rules for handling these requests effectively.\\n\\nTo facilitate this, we will be introducing different types of settings within Push Chat:\\n\\n- Open: This setting allows unrestricted chat requests from anyone, giving users the flexibility to engage with a wide range of individuals.\\n- Blacklisted: By selecting this setting, users have the ability to block incoming chat requests from everyone, ensuring a more private and exclusive chat experience.\\n- Incentivized Chat Requests: With this setting, users can opt to enable a one-time fee for sending chat requests. This provides an opportunity for users to monetize their chat interactions and add value to each conversation.\\n\\n
Note: While the incentivized chat feature is being designed and developed to support multi-chain, for this specific version of the protocol, Incentivized Chat shall only support the Ethereum chain. Multi-chain support will be released with the upcoming versions of the protocol.
\\n\\n### Deep diving into Incentivized Push Chat.\\n\\nIncentivized Push Chat introduces an innovative chat setting that empowers users to customize their experience by implementing a one-time fee (in PUSH Tokens) for individuals who wish to send them Push chat requests. By enabling this setting, users can ensure that anyone interested in initiating a push chat request must first deposit the specified fee before sending their message.\\n\\nThis feature grants users greater control over their chat interactions and enables them to monetize their engagement on the platform. In simpler terms, this innovative functionality empowers users to not just manage their chat interactions but also unlock new opportunities for generating income effortlessly. We feel this has great usage in driving creator economy and unleashing a new way for web3 communications to occur.\\n\\n
Note: Incentivized Chat Request only gives the sender the right to communicate to the receiver under chat request. The receiver still needs to accept the request to enable notifications and chat features. Ie. The receiver can still reject your messages while keeping the fee.
\\n\\n### Brief glance at its Working Mechanism\\n\\nConsider two different users: Message Sender & Message Receiver\\n\\n### Enabling Incentivized Chat Request\\n\\n- It all begins with the message receiver selecting the Incentivized Push Chat setting for himself/herself.\\n- As they opt for these settings, they must select the minimum amount of Push Tokens that any chat request sender must pay to be able to send chat requests to the receiver.\\n\\n
Note: In alignment with our smart contract\u2019s design, it should be noted that a very nominal portion of this fee, specifically 10 PUSH tokens, is allocated to the Protocol Pool Fee.
\\n\\n- Once this setting is enabled, the protocol guarantees that the recipient will only receive a chat request if the sender complies with the requirement of paying the specified amount of PUSH tokens.\\n\\n### Depositing Required Fee for Sending Chat Requests\\n\\n- Now it\u2019s time to look from a message sender\u2019s perspective.\\n- As a sender, you will be shown the minimum amount of PUSH tokens that must be deposited to interact with users with incentivized chat requests enabled.\\n- Therefore, the first step as a sender is to initiate the required fee payment and send the chat request right after. This boils down to one single function call from the Push Communicator contract, i.e., createIncentivizeChatRequest which handles all of it for the request sender.\\n- Upon successful completion of this transaction, chat requests will be sent to the recipient, facilitating the establishment of a communication bridge between the two users upon acceptance of the request.\\n\\n### Multi-Chain Fee Deposits and Bridging\\n\\n- With Push Protocol\u2019s expansion into multiple chains such as Polygon, BSC, and more, we have meticulously designed this feature to minimize any friction for users across these chains, ensuring a seamless experience beyond just Ethereum.\\n- Therefore, as mentioned earlier, the creation of incentivized chat requests is incorporated within our communicator contract, which, unlike our core contract, is deployed across multiple EVM chains.\\n- This essentially means users of any chain that is supported by Push Protocol can create incentivized chat requests from their respective chain itself, without the need to do the same from the Ethereum network.\\n\\n### Bridging:\\n\\n- It must be noted that users can create incentivized chat requests from any chain and deposit the push tokens on that chain\u2019s communicator itself.\\n- However, as per our contract\u2019s design, any incoming fund must be handled and stored in the core contract that lies on Ethereum.\\n- Therefore, any Push tokens deposited on communicator contracts of other EVM chains (supported by Push Protocol) shall essentially be bridged to the core contract which lies on the Ethereum chain itself.\\n- In order to ensure the bridging procedure is handled adequately, we will be using the Wormhole interoperability protocol for the cross-chain movement of the tokens.\\n\\n### Claiming Chat Incentives\\n\\n- As a final step, the core contract shall allow any user to claim their chat incentives directly from the core v2 contract on the Ethereum network.\\n- It should be noted that while users from any supported chain can create incentivized chat requests and deposit PUSH tokens, the tokens are essentially bridged and moved to the core contract on the Ethereum network.\\n- Therefore, it\u2019s extremely easy for the message or request receivers to simply pull out their claimable funds directly from the core contract itself, instead of jumping from one chain to another.\\n\\n## Why Incentivized Push Chat?\\n\\nThe Incentivized Push Chat feature offers several potential use cases that can benefit users in various ways.\\n\\n### Creator Economy / Monetization:\\n\\n- Professionals, Thought leaders, or experts in Web3 or any specific field can utilize the incentivized chat feature to monetize their knowledge and provide personalized advice or consultations through Push chat.\\n- This can drive the growing web3 creator economy and can enable web3 social to have various features that are currently not present in web2.\\n\\n### Spam Prevention:\\n\\n- While Push already has state of the art anti-spam features enabling users to accept chat first before they can be notified and / or have access to features like video calling, etc. Incentivized push requests takes it further for popular wallets who now can have a way to even prioritize their Push chat requests.\\n- The fee acts as a deterrent for low-quality or irrelevant requests, ensuring that users receive more meaningful and valuable messages.\\n\\n### Enhanced privacy and exclusivity:\\n\\n- The one-time fee requirement adds an extra layer of exclusivity and privacy for users. It can deter casual or unwanted interactions, ensuring that users only receive requests from individuals who are genuinely interested and willing to invest in the conversation.\\n- It can be particularly valuable for influencers or public figures who want to manage their interactions and maintain a more selective and focused engagement with their audience.\\n\\n
Note: Version 2 of the Push Core and Communicator smart contracts will be deployed in the next few weeks. All the above-mentioned new features will come into effect post the deployment.

\\n\\nThe evolution of decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain technology has underscored the significance of decentralized reputation systems.\\n\\nIn this blog post, we\u2019ll discuss creating a decentralized reputation system using Alchemy and Push Protocol. We will explore the benefits these tools offer and provide a step-by-step guide on the development process. Additionally, we\u2019ll examine how to utilize Push Protocol for decentralized messaging to improve communication and collaboration within your dApp ecosystem.\\n\\nFinally, we\u2019ll share valuable tips and best practices for designing a successful reputation system that benefits all participants, fostering a vibrant and resilient environment for users, developers, and stakeholders. By grasping the nuances of decentralized reputation systems and leveraging Alchemy and Push Protocol, you\u2019ll be poised to develop an innovative, trustworthy, and impactful solution for the decentralized world.\\n\\n## Overview of Reputation Systems\\n\\nReputation systems are mechanisms designed to assess and quantify the trustworthiness, reliability, or quality of entities, such as users or services within a given network. These mechanisms rely on factors such as past performance, user ratings, reviews, and other relevant data points to establish an individual\u2019s or an organization\u2019s reputation score. This score then serves as a reference for other participants when making decisions, such as choosing a service provider or engaging in a transaction.\\n\\nHere are some examples of reputation systems commonly used today:\\n\\n- Amazon Seller Rating: Amazon assigns a rating to each seller based on factors such as shipping time, order accuracy, and customer service. Buyers can use this rating to evaluate a seller\u2019s reputation before making a purchase.\\n- Airbnb Host Rating: Airbnb uses a rating system to assess the reliability and quality of hosts based on factors such as communication, cleanliness, and accuracy of listing descriptions. This rating can help potential guests decide whether to book a listing or not.\\n- Uber Driver Rating: Uber\u2019s rating system allows passengers to rate their driver after a trip based on factors such as driving skills, punctuality, and professionalism. These ratings can help future riders decide which driver to select for their next trip.\\n\\nIn each of these examples, the reputation system assigns a score or rating to a participant based on their behavior and interactions within the platform. This score can then be used by other participants to evaluate the trustworthiness, reliability, or quality of the individual or organization.\\n\\nUnlike traditional centralized reputation system which can be subject to biased or unreliable information due to their inherent limitations, decentralized reputation systems provide a more transparent and equitable approach. These systems play a critical role in empowering users and developers in the decentralized ecosystem by establishing trust and credibility based on the actions, history, and behavior of participants.\\n\\n## Decentralized Reputation Systems\\n\\nJust as centralized reputation systems do in web2, decentralized reputation systems allows users to establish trust and credibility within a blockchain-based web3 ecosystem. Decentralized reputation systems can be used in various contexts, such as peer-to-peer marketplaces, decentralized lending platforms, and social networks. The key benefits of decentralized reputation systems include the following:\\n\\n- Enhanced trust and transparency through the use of blockchain technology.\\n- Reduced reliance on centralized authorities for reputation management.\\n- The ability to leverage decentralized messaging for real-time reputation updates and notifications\\n\\n## Step-by-Step Guide For Building a Decentralized Reputation System with Alchemy and Push Protocol\\n\\n1.

Designing Smart Contracts\\n\\nTo create the foundation for your decentralized reputation system, you\u2019ll need to develop smart contracts that handle:\\n\\n- User registration and identity management.\\n- Reputation scoring, based on criteria such as transaction history and user feedback.\\n- The storage and retrieval of reputation data on the blockchain.\\n\\nYou can write your smart contracts using [Solidity](https://soliditylang.org/), and thoroughly test them with tools like [Truffle](https://trufflesuite.com/) and [Remix](https://remix-project.org/).\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example of a simple decentralized reputation system using a Solidity smart contract:\\n\\n```js\\npragma solidity ^0.8.0;\\n\\ncontract DecentralizedReputationSystem {\\n struct UserProfile {\\n address userAddress;\\n uint256 reputation;\\n string name;\\n }\\n\\n mapping(address => UserProfile) public userProfiles;\\n mapping(address => mapping(address => bool)) public feedbackGiven;\\n\\n event NewUserRegistered(address userAddress, string name);\\n event FeedbackReceived(address from, address to, uint256 reputationDelta);\\n\\n function registerUser(string memory _name) public {\\n require(userProfiles[msg.sender].userAddress == address(0), \\"User already registered\\");\\n\\n UserProfile memory newUserProfile = UserProfile({\\n userAddress: msg.sender,\\n reputation: 0,\\n name: _name\\n });\\n\\n userProfiles[msg.sender] = newUserProfile;\\n emit NewUserRegistered(msg.sender, _name);\\n }\\n\\n function giveFeedback(address _to, uint256 _reputationDelta) public {\\n require(userProfiles[msg.sender].userAddress != address(0), \\"User not registered\\");\\n\\n require(userProfiles[_to].userAddress != address(0), \\"Feedback recipient not registered\\");\\n\\n require(!feedbackGiven[msg.sender][_to], \\"Feedback already given\\");\\n\\n userProfiles[_to].reputation += _reputationDelta;\\n feedbackGiven[msg.sender][_to] = true;\\n emit FeedbackReceived(msg.sender, _to, _reputationDelta);\\n }\\n\\n function getUserReputation(address _user) public view returns (uint256) {\\n require(userProfiles[_user].userAddress != address(0), \\"User not registered\\");\\n return userProfiles[_user].reputation;\\n }\\n}\\n```\\n\\nThis smart contract defines a simple reputation system with the following features:\\n\\n- User registration: Users can register themselves with a name using the registerUser function. Each user is identified by their Ethereum address.\\n- User feedback: Registered users can provide feedback to other registered users by invoking the giveFeedback function. This function increases the reputation of the recipient user by the specified amount. Users can only give feedback to another user once.\\n- User reputation: The getUserReputation function can be called to retrieve the reputation of a registered user.\\n\\nWhen applying this to real-world scenarios, it\u2019s essential to consider integrating advanced features like confining feedback to interactions within the system, introducing reputation decay, or establishing dispute resolution mechanisms. Additionally, opting for a more refined token-based system can streamline the tracking and management of reputation scores.\\n\\n### Integrating Gitcoin Passport for Identity Management\\n\\nIn addition to designing smart contracts for user registration and identity management, integrating Gitcoin Passport can significantly enhance your decentralized reputation system.\\n\\nGitcoin Passport is a decentralized identity solution that allows users to create and manage their online identities across multiple dApps. By using Gitcoin Passport, you can take advantage of its built-in features, such as user verification, data portability, and seamless integration with other dApps.\\n\\nTo integrate Gitcoin Passport, follow the [official documentation](https://www.gitcoin.co/passport) and explore resources available in the Gitcoin ecosystem.\\n\\n## 2. Building a User Interface\\n\\nDevelop a user-friendly interface that allows users to:\\n\\n- Register and manage their profiles.\\n- View the reputation scores of other users.\\n- Provide feedback and rate other users based on their interactions.\\n\\nPopular frontend frameworks, such as [React](https://react.dev/) or [Angular](https://angular.io/), can be used to build your user interface. Integrate [Web3.js](https://web3js.org/#/) or [Ethers.js](https://docs.ethers.org/v5/) libraries to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.\\n\\nAs you develop the user interface for your decentralized reputation system, integrate Gitcoin Passport to handle user registration and authentication. This will allow users to create and manage their online identities across multiple dApps while utilizing your reputation system.\\n\\nEnsure your user interface is compatible with Gitcoin Passport by following the official documentation and integrating the required libraries and components.\\n\\n## 3.

We will shed light on the numerous advantages that these sophisticated tools offer and provide a thorough, step-by-step guide of the development process. Lastly, we will share invaluable tips for constructing a successful analytics dashboard and elevating user experience.\\n\\n## Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Real-Time Analytics Dashboard with Alchemy and Push Protocol\\n\\n1. Set Up the Backend and Dependencies.\\n2. Integrate Alchemy and Initialize Push Protocol.\\n3. Design a Dashboard.\\n4. Listen to New Blocks and Fetch Transaction Data.\\n5. Update the Dashboard UI.\\n6. Receive Real-Time Transaction Updates\\n\\n## 1. Setting Up the Backend and Dependencies\\n\\nTo build the backend for your real-time analytics dashboard, follow these steps:\\n\\n- Set up a frontend web application using a framework like React, Vue, or Angular.\\n- Install and configure the necessary dependencies, including the Alchemy SDK\\n\\n```js\\nnpm install ethers @alchemy/alchemy-web3\\n\\nnpm install ethers @pushprotocol/restapi @pushprotocol/socket\\n```\\n\\n## 2. Integrating the Alchemy SDK & Initializing Push Protocol\\n\\nIntegrate [Alchemy](https://dashboard.alchemy.com/signup/?a=push-protocol) as your Ethereum node provider for faster and more reliable access to the blockchain data. Follow the [official documentation](https://docs.alchemy.com/) for more details.\\n\\nHere is a sample workflow to integrate Alchemy:\\n\\n- Create an Alchemy account and obtain your API key.\\n- Replace your Ethereum node URL with your Alchemy API endpoint\\n\\n```js\\nimport { ethers } from \'ethers\';\\n\\nconst alchemyApiKey = \'your_alchemy_api_key\';\\nconst provider = new ethers.providers.AlchemyProvider(\'mainnet\', alchemyApiKey);\\n```\\n\\nNow, we can initialize Push Protocol. Follow the [official documentation](https://push.org/docs/) for more details. The official PUSH-SDK packages are also available [here](https://www.npmjs.com/~pushprotocol).\\n\\nHere is a sample workflow to integrate Push Protocol:\\n\\n```js\\nimport { PushRestApiClient } from \'@pushprotocol/restapi\';\\nimport { PushSocketClient } from \'@pushprotocol/socket\';\\n\\nconst pushRestApiClient = new PushRestApiClient({\\n applicationId: \'your_application_id\',\\n applicationToken: \'your_application_token\',\\n});\\n\\nconst pushSocketClient = new PushSocketClient({\\n applicationId: \'your_application_id\',\\n applicationToken: \'your_application_token\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## 3. Designing a Dashboard\\n\\nDesign a user-friendly dashboard that provides relevant real-time analytics for blockchain transactions. Consider including:\\n\\n- A summary of key metrics, such as transaction count, average gas price, and transaction volume.\\n- A list of recent transactions with relevant details like transaction hash, sender, recipient, and value.\\n- Interactive charts displaying trends in transaction volume, gas prices, and other metrics over time.\\n- Filters and search functionality to help users easily navigate the data\\n\\nPopular frontend frameworks, such as [React](https://react.dev/) or [Angular](https://angular.io/), can be used to build your user interface. Integrate [Web3.js](https://web3js.org/#/) or [Ethers.js](https://docs.ethers.org/v5/) libraries to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.\\n\\nTo quickly spin up a Next.js-based Web3-ready dApp with an integrated components library, check out Alchemy\u2019s Create Web3 DApp tool. This resource is fully open-source and designed to help users get started with building their dApps.\\n\\n## 4. Listening to New Blocks and Fetching Transaction Data\\n\\nCreate a function that listens to new blocks and fetches transaction data:\\n\\n```js\\nconst { Alchemy, Network } = require(\'alchemy-sdk\');\\n\\nconst alchemyConfig = {\\n apiKey: \'your_alchemy_api_key\',\\n network: Network.ETH_MAINNET,\\n};\\n\\nconst alchemy = new Alchemy(alchemyConfig);\\n\\nasync function listenToNewBlocks() {\\n alchemy.core.on(\'block\', async (getBlockNumber) => {\\n const block = await alchemy.core.getBlockWithTransactions(getBlockNumber);\\n const transactions = block.transactions;\\n // Process the transactions and update the dashboard\\n updateDashboard(transactions);\\n // Emit a real-time event through Push Protocol for connected clients\\n await pushRestApiClient.emit(\'transactions\', { transactions });\\n });\\n}\\n\\nlistenToNewBlocks(); // Invoke the function when the application starts\\n```\\n\\nIn this implementation, we import and set up the Alchemy SDK. Then, we modify the listenToNewBlocks() function to use the alchemy.core.onBlock() method to listen for new blocks and alchemy.core.getBlockWithTransactions() method to fetch transaction data.\\n\\nFor more advanced users, you can consider using custom webhooks. Custom webhooks offer several benefits in this scenario, including:\\n\\n- Flexibility: Gain more control over the logic and triggers for real-time updates, allowing you to create event-driven workflows tailored to your dashboard\u2019s needs.\\n- Scalability: Utilize serverless architectures like AWS Lambda to handle increasing load and ensure application responsiveness during peak usage.\\n- Reliability: Improve fault tolerance by implementing redundancies and fallback mechanisms, reducing reliance on third-party services for real-time updates.\\n- Reduced Latency: Optimize data flow from the blockchain to your application, minimizing latency for a more responsive user experience.\\n\\n## 5.Updating the Dashboard UI\\n\\nCreate a function to update the dashboard UI with new transaction data:\\n\\n```js\\nfunction updateDashboard(transactions) {\\n // Update the dashboard UI with new transaction data\\n // This will depend on the frontend framework you\'re using\\n}\\n```\\n\\n## 6. Receiving Real-Time Transaction Updates\\n\\nFor clients to receive real-time transaction updates, set up a listener for the Push Protocol events:\\n\\n```js\\nconst transactionsChannel = pushSocketClient.channel(\'transactions\');\\n\\ntransactionsChannel.on(\'transactions\', (data) => {\\n const transactions = data.transactions;\\n updateDashboard(transactions);\\n});\\n```\\n\\nWith this setup, your application will listen to new blocks on the Ethereum blockchain using the Alchemy provider. When a new block is detected, it fetches the transaction data and updates the analytics dashboard. Additionally, it emits a real-time event through the Push Protocol REST API so that connected clients receive updates instantly. Clients listen for these events using the Push Protocol Socket client and update their dashboards accordingly.\\n\\nKeep in mind that this is a high-level example and is meant to serve as a sample. Depending on your specific requirements, you will need to customize and expand this code to fetch and display additional data or integrate with other services.\\n\\n## Tips to Remember When Building a Successful Real-Time Analytics Solution\\n\\nTo create a successful real-time analytics dashboard for blockchain transactions using Alchemy and Push Protocol, we suggest keeping these things in mind:\\n\\n- Focus on providing relevant, actionable insights that users can use to make informed decisions. To do this, harness Alchemy\u2019s robust infrastructure and enhanced APIs to fetch your blockchain data, as well as Push Protocol\u2019s real-time communication capabilities.\\n- Implement data caching and other performance optimization techniques to minimize latency, taking advantage of Alchemy\u2019s efficient APIs and Push Protocol\u2019s instantaneous updates.\\n- Regularly update and refine your dashboard based on user feedback and changing market trends, using the insights provided by Alchemy\u2019s monitoring tools and Push Protocol\u2019s user engagement features.\\n- Integrate your dashboard with other blockchain tools and platforms to provide additional value and context, leveraging the compatibility and versatility of both Alchemy and Push Protocol in the blockchain ecosystem.\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nBuilding a real-time analytics dashboard for blockchain transactions with Alchemy and Push Protocol can provide valuable insights and improve user experience.\\n\\nBy following the steps outlined in this blog post and leveraging the powerful features of these tools, you can create an engaging and informative dashboard that benefits both developers and users alike.\\n\\nWe encourage you to experiment with the technology and share your experiences with the community.

\\n\\n## 1. Hi Troy, what\u2019s your story? How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space?\\n\\nI started working in Crypto around 2013 and became active in the Bitcoin community. From there I was interested in Smart Contracts around Ethereum and started to work closely with ConsenSys. I joined one of their spokes, SingularDTV and helped design a DAO for their software. I left that company and co-founded BarnBridge, a DeFi protocol, from there I went and co-founded Graviton a c-corp based in Puerto Rico that builds WEB3 tools, services, and platforms for the Metaverse.\\n\\n## 2. Tell us about Graviton \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem is Graviton solving?\\n\\nGraviton was founded out of what we felt was the need to create easy to use front ends for every day users to access the metaverse using polished web3 tools, services and platforms. We also wanted to prove our thesis that Protocols and the DAOs that control them are just a part of the tech stack and that you need a company to actually take multiple different protocols and wrap them up in a single platform. This is where Xeenon came from. We use Livepeer protocol for transcoding of videos, LENS protocol for social and PUSH protocol for direct messaging.\\n\\n## 3. How do developers use Xeenon?\\n\\nXenon is for creators and it is a streaming service that looks very much like what most people are used in a streaming service but under the hood the entire tech stack is built on decentralized technology from the transcoding all the way to the o-auth.\\n\\n## 4. What\u2019s the 2023 plan for Xeenon and its ecosystem?\\n\\nWe plan on growing the creator and fan experience on the platform and funding new ways for creators to monetize their work and also allow the fans to share in their economic flywheel.\\n\\n## 5. How is Graviton building with Push Chat?\\n\\nWe integrated Push Chat into our Xeenon platform for Direct Messaging and look forward to including Group and Video Chat soon.\\n\\n## 6. How have you seen Push Chat integration enhance your UX?\\n\\nThe ability of content creators to directly communicate with their fans on the platform is a huge win for us. We plan on adding more features to make the experience more intimate and with the coming updates to the protocol send tips and other things inside the platform through chat.\\n\\n## 7. What cool use cases do you see Push and Push Chat being used for in the future?\\n\\nI\u2019m really excited to get group and video chats going on the platform. Long term the way we can use this for community communication is gonna get really interesting.\\n\\nThank you :)\\n\\n

Finally, we\u2019ll share valuable tips and best practices for building successful blockchain-based gaming collectibles dApps.\\n\\nIn this blog post, we will explore the synergy of Alchemy and Push Protocol, two robust tools that enable developers to create and manage blockchain-based gaming collectibles. We will discuss the advantages offered by these cutting-edge solutions:\\n\\n- Push Protocol, for sending real-time in-game transaction notifications and enabling seamless communication in gaming ecosystems.\\n- Alchemy, for efficiently managing your infrastructure and providing easy access to blockchain data.\\n- We will dive into the development process, provide examples, and share valuable tips and best practices for building successful blockchain-based gaming collectibles dApps.\\n\\n## Step-by-Step Guide for Building a Blockchain-Based Gaming Collectibles with Alchemy and Push Protocol\\n\\n- Designing Smart Contracts.\\n- Building the User Interface.\\n- Integrating with Alchemy and Push Protocol\\n\\n## 1. Designing Smart Contracts\\n\\nSmart contracts are the backbone of your dApp, defining the rules and logic for your gaming collectibles. To learn more about smart contracts and blockchain development, check out Alchemy University.\\n\\nYou\u2019ll need to create smart contracts for:\\n\\n- Creating and managing collectibles (e.g., ERC-721 for non-fungible tokens).\\n- Handling transactions, such as trading and transferring collectibles\\n- Implementing any game mechanics or rules associated with your collectibles.\\n- You can write your smart contracts using [Solidity](https://soliditylang.org/), and thoroughly test them with tools like [Truffle](https://trufflesuite.com/) and [Remix](https://remix-project.org/).\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example of a simple blockchain-based gaming collectibles system using a Solidity smart contract:\\n\\n```js\\npragma solidity ^0.8.0;\\n\\nimport \\"@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC721/ERC721.sol\\";\\nimport \\"@openzeppelin/contracts/access/Ownable.sol\\";\\n\\ncontract GamingCollectibles is ERC721, Ownable {\\n uint256 private _tokenIdCounter;\\n\\n struct Collectible {\\n uint256 tokenId;\\n string name;\\n uint256 power;\\n }\\n\\n mapping(uint256 => Collectible) public collectibles;\\n\\n event NewCollectibleCreated(uint256 tokenId, string name, uint256 power);\\n\\n constructor() ERC721(\\"GamingCollectibles\\", \\"GCOL\\") {}\\n\\n function createCollectible(string memory _name, uint256 _power) public onlyOwner {\\n uint256 newTokenId = _tokenIdCounter;\\n _mint(msg.sender, newTokenId);\\n _tokenIdCounter++;\\n\\n Collectible memory newCollectible = Collectible({\\n tokenId: newTokenId,\\n name: _name,\\n power: _power\\n });\\n\\n collectibles[newTokenId] = newCollectible;\\n emit NewCollectibleCreated(newTokenId, _name, _power);\\n }\\n\\n function transferCollectible(address _to, uint256 _tokenId) public {\\n require(ownerOf(_tokenId) == msg.sender, \\"Not the owner of the collectible\\");\\n safeTransferFrom(msg.sender, _to, _tokenId);\\n }\\n\\n function getCollectibleDetails(uint256 _tokenId) public view returns (Collectible memory) {\\n return collectibles[_tokenId];\\n }\\n}\\n```\\n\\nThis smart contract defines a simple gaming collectibles system with the following features:\\n\\n- ERC721 standard: The contract inherits from the OpenZeppelin\u2019s ERC721 and Ownable contracts, which provide a standard implementation for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and ownership management.\\n- Creating collectibles: The contract owner can create new gaming collectibles by invoking the createCollectible function, providing a name and power for the new collectible. A unique token ID is assigned to each collectible, and a NewCollectibleCreated event is emitted.\\n- Transferring collectibles: Users can transfer their collectibles to other users by calling the transferCollectible function. The function checks if the sender is the owner of the collectible before transferring it.\\n- Querying collectible details: The getCollectibleDetails function allows users to query the details of a specific collectible using its token ID.\\n\\nThis is a basic example to demonstrate the concept. In a real-world implementation, you might want to consider adding more sophisticated features, such as a marketplace for trading collectibles, game mechanics that involve the collectibles, or integrating with other platforms for a richer gaming experience.\\n\\n\u26a0\ufe0f Disclaimer: This example smart contract is for educational purposes only and should not be used in production without a thorough audit and review by experienced developers.\\n\\n## 2. Building the User Interface\\n\\nCreate an engaging user interface that allows players to interact with your dApp. This includes:\\n\\n- Viewing their collectibles inventory\\n- Initiating trades and transfers\\n- Participating in any game mechanics or activities associated with your collectibles\\n\\nPopular frontend frameworks, such as [React](https://react.dev/) or [Angular](https://angular.io/), can be used to build your user interface. Integrate [Web3.js](https://web3js.org/#/) or [Ethers.js](https://docs.ethers.org/v5/) libraries to interact with the Ethereum blockchain.\\n\\nFor more advanced gaming experiences, consider using game engines like Unity 3D, which supports WebGL export, or Unreal Engine for AAA-quality graphics. These engines provide more sophisticated tools for building immersive gaming environments and can be integrated with blockchain technologies for managing gaming collectibles.\\n\\nIf you\u2019d really like to test the limits, consider using WebAssembly-based (WASM) approach to build high-performance web3-based games.\\n\\n## 3.

It dictates how incentives are created, distributed, and managed within the network. Push Protocol is a decentralized communication layer for Web3 that uses a native token, $PUSH, to incentivize its network participants.\\n\\nIn this post, we\u2019ll take a closer look at Push token economics and explore how it differs from other token systems. We\u2019ll also examine the specific incentives driving the Push Protocol network and how they contribute to the network\u2019s overall success.\\n\\n## Push Token Economics: An Overview\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s token economics aim to create a circular economy run by the community, for the community. The goal is for every participant to be rewarded for their contributions while simultaneously discouraging behavior that would be detrimental to the network. The $PUSH token is at the center of the ecosystem, providing incentives for all network participants.\\n\\nThe $PUSH token is used in four primary ways within the Push Protocol ecosystem: securing the network, network utility, Push DAO and governance, and the reward pool fee. As Push Protocol expands to more chains and adds new forms of communication, more utility for $PUSH may emerge in addition to the four primary use cases.\\n\\n## 1. Securing the Network\\n\\nPush Nodes are an integral part of the Push Protocol network. These nodes allow Push Protocol to facilitate communication across multiple blockchains while retaining governance on the Ethereum mainnet. Push Nodes can be run by anyone and are incentivized to act in the network\u2019s best interest through the use of $PUSH tokens in Proof of Stake. Nodes that continue to reach consensus and operate in the network\u2019s best interest are rewarded in $PUSH tokens. Conversely, Push Nodes that do not remain synced with consensus or attempt to damage the network are penalized with the $PUSH tokens these bad actors staked.\\n\\n## 2. Network Utility\\n\\n$PUSH tokens are used as payment for message broadcasting on the Push Protocol network. When users broadcast a message, they must pay in $PUSH tokens to deliver that message to all interested parties. This payment incentivizes nodes on the network to relay the message to their peers, ensuring that the network remains fast and reliable.\\n\\n## 3. Push DAO and Governance\\n\\n53% of the supply of $PUSH has been allocated to the community to define the future of Push Protocol and its development. $PUSH also gives owners the right to vote on critical protocol decisions, including the staking structure, staking mechanisms, and reward distribution rates.\\n\\nGovernance votes can include:\\n\\n- The structure of the fees paid by services\\n- The DeFi mechanism for the staking pool\\n- Other protocol incentivization and financial elements\\n\\nPush Protocol adheres to Progressive Decentralized Governance. That is, a structure where power in decisions making is gradually distributed to the community. This approach allows token holders to have a say in the protocol\u2019s future direction, ensuring that the network remains aligned with the community\u2019s interests.\\n\\n## 4. Push Fee Pool\\n\\nThe Push Fee Pool is designed to reward various participants, fostering a circular economy within the Push Protocol ecosystem. As the community moves towards greater decentralization, the network will determine fees, such as those charged to \u201csuper users\u201d of chat and notifications (protocols sending large volumes of notifications) and fees related to the utility features of the protocol. It is essential to note that all fees are charged at the protocol level.\\n\\nThese fees are then distributed to $PUSH token holders and cryptocurrency wallets adopting the Push Protocol. The participants receiving rewards include token holders, wallet providers, and other stakeholders contributing to the ecosystem\u2019s growth and decentralization.\\n\\nThe $PUSH token incorporates a time-weighted feature, enabling the protocol to identify and reward token holders who have maintained their $PUSH holdings for extended periods. This mechanism ensures that long-term supporters of the project receive proportionally higher rewards.\\n\\nIn summary, the Push Fee Pool aims to clarify the following points:\\n\\n- Various participants, including token holders, wallet providers, and other stakeholders, are rewarded through the Push Fee Pool.\\n- Fees are charged at the protocol level and can include charges for \u201csuper users\u201d and utility features within the Push Protocol.-\\n- The fees collected are not from liquidity pools but rather from protocol-level activities.\\n- The $PUSH token\u2019s time-weighted feature ensures that long-term token holders receive proportionally higher rewards.\\n\\n## Key Features of Push Tokenomics:\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s token economics model is designed with several essential features to promote a robust and sustainable ecosystem:\\n\\n1. Circular Economy: The tokenomics aims to reward all network participants, encouraging them to hold onto tokens and contribute to the network\u2019s growth and development.\\n2. Hybrid Proof of Stake Mechanism: Push Protocol utilizes a hybrid Proof of Stake mechanism to secure the network. Rewards and penalties in $PUSH tokens incentivize good behavior and deter bad actors.\\n3. Community-driven Governance: The Push DAO and governance system empower the community to influence the network\u2019s future direction, ensuring alignment with the interests of its members.\\n\\nWhile some of these features may share similarities with other tokenomic models, the combination of these elements within Push Protocol\u2019s ecosystem helps create a unique and thriving environment for its users and stakeholders.\\n\\n## The Role of Incentive Schemes in Blockchain Networks\\n\\nIncentive schemes play a significant role in driving participation and fostering growth in blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. While they are not the sole determinant of success, well-designed incentives can encourage users to hold onto their tokens, actively engage with the network, and contribute to its growth and development. Common incentive schemes include proof of stake, proof of work, token burning, airdrops, staking, liquidity mining, and gamification. By striking a balance between incentivization and other factors such as technology, governance, and community engagement, a project can increase its chances of long-term success and sustainability.\\n\\nLet\u2019s break them all down:\\n\\nProof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism that uses token staking to incentivize network participants to act in the network\u2019s best interest. In PoS, validators stake tokens to verify transactions, and those who verify transactions correctly are rewarded with additional tokens. Those who act against the network\u2019s best interests may lose their staked tokens.\\n\\nProof of Work (PoW) is a consensus mechanism that uses computational power to verify transactions. In PoW, miners solve complex mathematical problems to add new blocks to the blockchain. The first miner to solve the problem is rewarded with new tokens, and their block is added to the blockchain. PoW is resource-intensive and may lead to centralization.\\n\\nToken Burning removes tokens from circulation by sending them to an address that no one can access. Token burning can be used to increase the value of existing tokens by decreasing the overall supply.\\n\\nAirdrops are used by cryptocurrency projects to distribute free tokens to users. Airdrops can be used to increase network participation and attract new users. This is especially helpful for a project just starting out.\\n\\nStaking is a mechanism that allows users to hold tokens for a specific period to receive rewards in return. Staking incentivizes participants to hold onto their tokens and participate in the network; the longer they stake, the greater their rewards will be.\\n\\nLiquidity Mining incentivizes users to provide liquidity to a specific pool in exchange for tokens collected from trading fees. The more liquidity that is provided, the greater the rewards will be.\\n\\nGamification is a process of incentivizing users to complete specific actions. This can include completing transactions, referring friends, or engaging with the platform in other ways. By providing rewards for these actions, users are encouraged to continue using the platform and contributing to its growth and development.\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s token economics are designed to create a circular economy that incentivizes and rewards all network participants, while deterring behavior that would be detrimental to the network. Token economics and the resulting incentives play a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of a given cryptocurrency or project. Push Protocol achieves this through its use of a hybrid Proof of Stake mechanism and its Push DAO and governance system, which give the community a say in the network\u2019s future direction and foster a collaborative environment.\\n\\nAs the Push Protocol community continues to grow and evolve, the team is constantly looking to add more utility for the $PUSH token. This includes exploring new use cases for the token and incentivizing more participants to hold and use the token. The community plays a crucial role in fostering this innovation and contributing to the network\u2019s growth and development.\\n\\nIncentives and token economics are essential components of any successful blockchain or cryptocurrency project. Push Protocol\u2019s token economics exemplify a system that incentivizes participants to secure the network, pay for message broadcasting, and participate in network governance. As Push Protocol expands to more chains and adds new forms of communication, it will be exciting to see how its token economics evolve to create even more incentives for network participants. We invite you to join the Push Protocol community and discover the power of its token economics for yourself."},{"id":"let-s-embark-on-a-mission-w-push-protocol","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/let-s-embark-on-a-mission-w-push-protocol","source":"@site/blog/2023-05-08-push-missions/index.md","title":"Let\u2019s Embark on a Mission w.

It\u2019s a security program that enables users to communicate securely by decrypting and encrypting messages \u2014 but how does it work?\\n\\nIn this article we will explore how PGP encryption works and how it pertains to Push Protocol. Let\u2019s dive in.\\n\\n## The Fundamentals of PGP Encryption\\n\\nPGP encryption works by combining symmetric-key and public-key cryptography. The process involves the following steps:\\n\\n### Key Generation:\\n\\nEach user generates a public and private key pair. The public key is shared openly, while the private key remains confidential.\\n\\n### Encryption:\\n\\nWhen sending a message, the sender uses the recipient\u2019s public key to encrypt the message. This ensures that only the intended recipient with the corresponding private key can decrypt the message.\\n\\n### Signing:\\n\\nThe sender can digitally sign the message using their private key, creating a unique signature. This signature can be verified using the sender\u2019s public key, ensuring the message\u2019s authenticity and integrity.\\n\\n### Decryption:\\n\\nUpon receiving the message, the recipient uses their private key to decrypt it and, if applicable, verify the digital signature using the sender\u2019s public key.\\n\\n## An Example with Bundesbank\ud83c\udfe6\\n\\nAccording to their [official website](https://www.bundesbank.de/en/service/banks-and-companies/pki/pgp/pretty-good-privacy-pgp--621112), the Bundesbank, Germany\u2019s central bank, uses PGP encryption to secure confidential email communications. They employ a single PGP key for the entire organization (except for a few local installations). The key is 2048 bits long and valid until June 9, 2030. This key can be used to reach almost all Bundesbank email addresses securely.\\n\\nHere is an example of Bundesbank uses PGP encryption for emails:\\n\\nStep 1: Obtain the Bundesbank\u2019s PGP Public Key First, you need to obtain the Bundesbank\u2019s PGP public key. You can find it on their website or request it from the bank\u2019s contact. The fingerprint of their PGP public key is:\\n\\n7976 022F 5061 3189 F250 A187 3746 D004 4D8B 595E\\n\\nStep 2: Import the Bundesbank\u2019s PGP Public Key Import the Bundesbank\u2019s public key into your PGP software or email client (such as GnuPG, Thunderbird with Enigmail, or Outlook with Gpg4win).\\n\\nStep 3: Compose Your Confidential Email Write your confidential email to the Bundesbank using your preferred email client.\\n\\nStep 4: Encrypt the Email Before sending the email, use your email client\u2019s PGP functionality to encrypt the email with Bundesbank\u2019s public key. This ensures that only the Bundesbank, with the corresponding private key, can decrypt and read the email.\\n\\nStep 5: Sign the Email (Optional) You can also choose to sign the email using your own PGP private key digitally. This allows the Bundesbank to verify your identity and the integrity of your message using your public key.\\n\\nStep 6: Send the Encrypted Email Finally, send the encrypted email to the intended Bundesbank email address. The email will be securely transmitted and can only be decrypted and read by the Bundesbank.\\n\\nBy using PGP encryption, you can ensure that your confidential email communication with the Bundesbank remains secure and private, protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access or tampering.\\n\\nThe example of Bundesbank using PGP encryption for secure email communication demonstrates the effectiveness of PGP encryption in protecting sensitive information in the traditional financial world. However, with the increasing connectivity and decentralization of communication systems, there is a need for secure messaging protocols that can ensure safe and confidential communication across a distributed network.\\n\\nThis is where the use of PGP in a decentralized communication protocol like Push Protocol comes in. Push Protocol provides high security and privacy for messaging systems by using PGP encryption in a distributed network of push delivery nodes. The push delivery nodes are responsible for delivering encrypted messages to their intended recipients in a secure and reliable manner.\\n\\nThe use of PGP encryption in the Push Protocol ensures that messages are encrypted end-to-end, meaning that only the sender and the recipient can decrypt and read the message. This provides a high level of security and privacy, even in a decentralized network.\\n\\n## PGP Encryption in Push Protocol: A Step-by-Step Process\\n\\nThe implementation of PGP encryption inPush Protocol involves several steps:\\n\\n### Key Storage:\\n\\nA PGP key pair is generated for their address when a user logs into Push Protocol for the first time. The private key is encrypted using the user\u2019s public key and sent to Push Nodes for storage, while the public key is stored locally on the user\u2019s device and used to encrypt outgoing messages.\\n\\n### Message Encryption:\\n\\nWhen a message is sent, the client-side application encrypts the message payload using the [Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard), which is a widely used and secure encryption algorithm. The AES algorithm is a complex encryption algorithm that uses a symmetric key to encrypt and decrypt data.\\n\\nA unique AES secret key is generated for each message, which is then encrypted using the PGP public keys of the sender and recipient. This ensures that only the intended recipient can decrypt and read the message, and that the message content remains secure and private during transit.\\n\\n### Message Transmission:\\n\\nThe encrypted message payload and AES secret key are sent to the Push Nodes, which then forward the message to the recipient.\\n\\n### Message Decryption:\\n\\nUpon receiving the message, the recipient decrypts the AES key using their PGP private key and then decrypts the message payload using the decrypted AES key.\\n\\n## Future-proofing PGP Encryption in Push Protocol\\n\\nThe flexibility and extensibility of PGP encryption in Push Protocol ensure that the system remains future-proof and adaptable. This means:\\n\\n### Multi-Chain Compatibility:\\n\\nAs blockchain networks adopt various encryption methods, Push Protocol can still facilitate secure communication by encrypting PGP keys using multiple methods.\\n\\n### Security Evolution:\\n\\nAs new security threats and vulnerabilities emerge, Push Protocol can upgrade its encryption methods easily, ensuring users\u2019 communications remain protected and private.\\n\\nIn conclusion, by integrating PGP encryption into Push Protocol, Push\u2019s messaging system provides a secure and private messaging solution for blockchain-based applications. The decentralized nature of Push Protocol, combined with the reliability and adaptability of PGP encryption, ensures users can communicate and transact with confidence. This is thanks to the fact messages and transactions are protected against interception and tampering. Additionally, Push Protocol\u2019s ability to easily upgrade its encryption methods in response to new security threats and vulnerabilities further enhances its ability to provide secure and private messaging services."},{"id":"april-monthly-recap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/april-monthly-recap","source":"@site/blog/2023-05-03-april-montlhy-recap/index.md","title":"April Monthly Recap\u2728","description":"Cover image of April Monthly Recap\u2728","date":"2023-05-03T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"May 3, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"NewsLetter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/news-letter"},{"label":"Blockchain Development","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-development"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":3.2066666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"april-monthly-recap","title":"April Monthly Recap\u2728","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Welcome to another exciting month at Push Protocol!

\\n\\n## How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nShapeShift was started in 2014 in the wake of the devastating Mt. Gox hack from which millions of bitcoin were stolen. ShapeShift was created as the first way to trade crypto non-custodially from your own wallet rather than needing to deposit onto a centralized exchange.\\n\\nWilly started building in the blockchain space in 2017 when he co-founded Bitfract. Bitfract was built on top of ShapeShift\u2019s trading API and was the first tool to enable trading Bitcoin for multiple cryptocurrencies in a single transaction. In 2018, ShapeShift acquired Bitfract.\\n\\n## Tell us about ShapeShift \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does ShapeShift solve?\\n\\nShapeShift is focused on building the ultimate interface to the decentralized universe. The early version is live now on app.shapeshift.com and also available in both the iOS and Android app stores.\\n\\nThe problem that ShapeShift solves is two-fold. On one hand, custodial crypto is centralized. This makes it risky, burdened by regulations, and fee-ridden.\\n\\nNon-custodial crypto isn\u2019t perfect either though. It comes with its own risks, is difficult, and often requires multiple wallets and tools.\\n\\nTo solve these problems, the ShapeShift community is focused on building an interface to the decentralized universe that follows each of the following principles:\\n\\n- Non-custodial/multi-wallet\\n- Multi-chain\\n- Open source\\n- Community-owned\\n- Decentralized\\n- Free\\n\\n## How\u2019s 2023 treating you so far? What\u2019s your Q2 plan \u2014 any new releases coming soon?\\n\\nBest year ever so far! Key metrics have been trending up and to the right since December, which is awesome to see in a bear market.\\n\\nWe have some really exciting updates planned for Q2, including FOX Rewards for users, cross-chain bridging, support for more chains, and displaying DeFi positions, which will make ShapeShift the most comprehensive interface for DeFi users who also hold non-EVM assets like bitcoin, doge, or cosmos assets.\\n\\nAlso very excited to create a growing list of useful automated wallet notifications with Push protocol and to work with Wherever to deliver native push notifications on smartphones.\\n\\n## How is ShapeShift using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nCurrently ShapeShift uses Push to send governance, wallet, and product notifications to users that subscribe directly from the app. Thanks to the integration with Wherever, ShapeShift now has a notification feed directly in the app where users can not only see ShapeShift notifications, but notifications from all the Push channels they\u2019re subscribed to. Additionally, subscribers can opt in to receiving their Push notifications in email or Telegram. This is important because as a DAO, ShapeShift is seeking alternative ways to communicate with its users that don\u2019t rely on collecting and storing personal identifiable information.\\n\\n## What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nWe\u2019re very excited for p2p wallet chat. We also plan to add more automated notifications in the future, such as news and price notifications for assets you hold as well as notifications for wallet activity on more chains.\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nThe Push protocol has worked great at every step of the way, and the team has been incredibly helpful in supporting our integration and launch.\\n\\n## What haven\u2019t we asked you about that you wish we had?\\n\\nQ: Wow, how much does ShapeShift charge for all of this?\\n\\nA: Zero! ShapeShift is an open-source public good :)\\n\\n

They can be physical devices, applications, or servers and are tasked with relaying messages from one point to another.\\n\\nIn this blog post, we will explore the various types of delivery nodes and their involvement in push notifications.\\n\\n## Types of Delivery Nodes in Communication Protocols\\n\\nDelivery nodes in communication protocols can be classified into the following categories:\\n\\n- User devices\\n- Application servers\\n- Message brokers\\n- Cloud messaging services\\n\\n### User Devices:\\n\\nUser devices are the most prevalent type of delivery node. These devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers, receive messages from application servers and display them to the user.\\n\\n### Application Servers:\\n\\nApplication servers serve as intermediaries between a user device and the message source, ensuring that messages are delivered to the correct device and that the device can display the message. They perform additional functions such as message processing and storage, and may also provide features like message filtering or user authentication. Application servers are primarily responsible for delivering messages to the intended recipients.\\n\\n### Message Brokers:\\n\\nMessage brokers act as intermediaries between different applications and services, receiving messages from the source and forwarding them to the appropriate destination. They provide a middleware layer that facilitates efficient and reliable message delivery. Unlike application servers, message brokers do not process or store messages, but instead route messages between different applications or services based on their intended destination. They may also perform additional functions like message filtering or message transformation to ensure successful delivery.\\n\\n### Cloud Messaging Services:\\n\\nCloud messaging services are delivery nodes that send push notifications to user devices. These services act as intermediaries between the application server and the user device, processing and delivering messages from the application server to the user device through push notifications.\\n\\n## The Train Analogy\ud83d\ude82\\n\\nDelivery nodes in communication protocols can be compared to the different components of a train system.\\n\\nCloud messaging services are like the train tracks that connect different destinations. They provide a reliable and efficient route for messages to travel between different devices and services.\\n\\n

Application servers are like the trains that run on the tracks, carrying messages to their intended destinations. They ensure that messages are delivered to the correct device and can be displayed to the user. Application servers also perform additional functions like message processing and storage, as well as providing features like message filtering and user authentication.\\n\\n

Message brokers are like the engines that propel the trains, ensuring they are running efficiently and reliably. The message brokers act as intermediaries between different applications and services, providing a middleware layer that facilitates efficient and reliable message delivery. Message brokers may also perform additional functions like message filtering or message transformation to ensure successful delivery.\\n\\n

User devices are like train destinations, which receive the messages and display them to the users. They are the ultimate destination of the messages, and it is important that they receive the messages in a reliable and efficient manner.\\n\\nTogether, these delivery nodes work together to enable seamless and secure communication in a communication protocol. By understanding the different roles of each component and how they work together, businesses and organizations can implement effective messaging solutions that meet their specific communication needs.\\n\\n## Key Features of Push Notifications in Communication Protocols\\n\\nPush notifications are a crucial feature of modern communication protocols as they enable real-time updates to be delivered directly to a user\u2019s device even when the application is inactive. To enable push notifications, several key components must work together.\\n\\n### Cloud Messaging Services for Real-time Push Notifications\\n\\nDifferent cloud messaging services are available to enable real-time push notifications in applications. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), Apple Push Notification Service (APNS), and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS) are some of the popular options that provide similar functionality for sending real-time updates to user devices.\\n\\n### Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM):\\n\\nOne popular cloud messaging service is Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), a cross-platform messaging service that supports real-time messaging for Android, iOS, and web applications. FCM is a reliable and efficient way to send push notifications to user devices, making it ideal for applications that require real-time updates.\\n\\nTo utilize FCM, an application must first integrate the FCM SDK, which provides the required functionality for sending and receiving messages. Once the SDK is integrated, the application can send messages to FCM using the FCM API.\\n\\nThe FCM API enables applications to send messages to individual devices, groups of devices, or topics. The \u2018topics\u2019 feature allows messages to be transmitted to multiple devices subscribed to a specific topic. This simplifies the process of messaging groups of users based on their interests or preferences.\\n\\nUpon receiving a message, FCM processes and delivers it as a push notification to the user device, which then displays the notification, providing real-time updates.\\n\\n### Alternative Cloud Messaging Services:\\n\\nApart from FCM, other cloud messaging services, such as Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and Amazon Simple Notification Service (SNS), are available. These services offer similar functionality to FCM, allowing applications to send real-time push notifications to user devices.\\n\\n## The 5 Core Components of Push Chat\\n\\nThe Push Protocol is designed to allow developers to build messaging applications with a highly scalable, secure, and efficient messaging system. It relies on several services that make up the delivery nodes that handle the transmission of messages from sender to receiver.\\n\\n### 1. Push Tokens Service: Device Token Management\\n\\nThe first service in the Push Protocol is the Push Tokens Service. This crucial component is tasked with managing the registration of device tokens and their corresponding wallet addresses. When a user installs a messaging application, the Push Tokens Service generates a unique device token for their device and links it with their wallet address. This information is then stored in a database for future reference.\\n\\n### 2. Feed Processor Service: Message Payload Distribution\\n\\nThe next key service is the Feed Processor Service, which processes incoming feeds containing messages and data (also known as message payloads) along with recipient wallet addresses. This service retrieves the device tokens linked to the recipient wallet addresses from the Push Tokens Service and organizes them into batches based on the messaging platform\u2019s maximum size allowance. Each batch of device tokens and its corresponding message payload are then dispatched to the Push Message Service.\\n\\n### 3. Push Message Service: Message Transmission\\n\\nThe Push Message Service is at the heart of the message transmission process. Upon receiving batches of device tokens and message payloads from the Feed Processor Service, the Push Message Service stores this data in a database. The Push Message Service then processes the messages in batches, forwarding them to the appropriate devices via Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).\\n\\n### 4. FCM Service: Delivering Messages to Devices\\n\\nThe FCM Service is responsible for ensuring that messages reach their intended devices. Utilizing the Firebase Cloud Messaging platform, it sends the message payload to the device tokens provided by the Push Message Service. The FCM Service subsequently receives a response from FCM, indicating whether each message was successfully delivered. In a failed delivery, the FCM Service forwards the device token to the Push Tokens Service for removal.\\n\\n### 5. Authentication Service: Securing Communication\\n\\nThe final puzzle piece of the process is the Authentication (Auth) Service. This service generates and administers server tokens to authenticate communication between the various services aforementioned.\\n\\nFor each wallet address that wants to receive messages, it must first request a token from the Auth Service. The Auth Service then generates a unique server token and associates it with a secret key for that wallet address. This information is stored in a database, and the server token is made available to the other services for authentication purposes when making requests.\\n\\nWith all these services working together, messages can be sent from one wallet to another through the messaging platform. The Feed Processor Service first processes the message, retrieves the recipient device tokens from the Push Tokens Service, and sends them to the Push Message Service. The Push Message Service then sends the messages to the devices using the FCM Service, which reports whether the message was delivered successfully or not. The Auth Service ensures that communication between the services is secure and authenticated.\\n\\n## Build With Push Delivery Nodes\\n\\nTo begin building with Push Delivery Nodes, read up on our documentation specifically for it here:\\n\\n\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49https://push.org/docs/notifications/tutorials/integrate-notifications-via-delivery-node/"},{"id":"push-protocol-selected-as-communication-partner-for-d-app-store-kit","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-selected-as-communication-partner-for-d-app-store-kit","source":"@site/blog/2023-04-17-dapp-store-communication-partner/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Selected as Communication Partner for dApp Store Kit! \ud83d\udd14\ud83d\udc9c","description":"Cover image of Push Protocol Selected as Communication Partner for dApp Store Kit! \ud83d\udd14\ud83d\udc9c","date":"2023-04-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 17, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Polygon Network","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/polygon-network"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Partnerships","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/partnerships"},{"label":"Polygon","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/polygon"}],"readingTime":2.2266666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-protocol-selected-as-communication-partner-for-d-app-store-kit","title":"Push Protocol Selected as Communication Partner for dApp Store Kit! \ud83d\udd14\ud83d\udc9c","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Push Protocol is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as the communication solutions partner for dApp Store Kit!","tags":["Polygon Network","Web3","Partnerships","Polygon"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Understanding Delivery Nodes\ud83d\ude82","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/understanding-delivery-nodes"},"nextItem":{"title":"Push Protocol\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u77e5\u3063\u3066\u304a\u304f\u3079\u304d\u3053\u3068\ud83d\udd14","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-1"}},"content":"![Cover image of Push Protocol Selected as Communication Partner for dApp Store Kit! \ud83d\udd14\ud83d\udc9c](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nPush Protocol is thrilled to announce that we have been selected as the communication solutions partner for dApp Store Kit!\\n\\nFor Push, this means integrations from hundreds of potential new dApp store fronts that are planning to build with the dApp Store Kit and exposure to the millions of Polygon users who will interact with these dApps.\\n\\nWe are extremely excited to be playing a critical role in dApp Store Kit stack and are looking forward to the integrations to come!\\n\\n## Breaking down: What is the dApp Store Kit?\\n\\ndApp Store Kit allows anyone to build a dApp store in web3.

But now, the dApp Store Kit provides an enhanced web3 native alternative that addresses the shortcomings of its web2 counterparts by making dApp store building composable, permissionless, and interoperable.\\n\\nYou can learn more about the dApp Store Kit and building with it [here](https://docs.dappstorekit.io/docs/start-here).\\n\\nA closer look at the dApp Store Kit stack \u2014 featuring Push as the communication solution.\\n\\n## How will Push be used?\\n\\nAs the chosen communications solution, all dApps building with dApp Store Kit will be able to leverage the full array of Push communication products to enhance their user engagement and experience. This includes Push Notifications, Push Chat, and the newly added Push Video!\\n\\nHere are some possible use cases for Push communication tools within the dApp store:\\n\\n1. Push Notifications: Dapp store creators can use Push notifications to alert users about new features, updates, or upcoming events. This can increase user engagement and keep users informed about the latest developments in the dApp store.\\n2. Instant Chat: Push Protocol\u2019s instant chat feature can be used by dApp store creators to provide customer support to users. This can help to resolve user issues and provide a more personalized experience for users.\\n3. Video Chat: Dapp store creators can use Push Protocol\u2019s video chat feature to provide personalized support to users. This can be particularly useful for complex issues that require visual explanations or demonstrations.\\n4. Feedback Systems: Push\u2019s communication tools can be used by dApp store creators to collect user reviews and ratings on the dApps they interact with. This can help to improve the quality of the dApps and provide valuable insights to dApp store creators.\\n5. Social Features (Group Chat): Push Protocol\u2019s group messaging can be used by dApp store creators to add social features to their dApps, such as chat rooms and forums. This can increase user engagement and create a sense of community within the dApp store.\\n\\nWhile these are just a few possible integrations, the full breadth of innovation is yet to be discovered as more dApp stores begin building using Push.\\n\\nWe are excited to be playing a critical role in providing our communication solutions, and hence giving access to an extensive range of new features.\\n\\n## Excited for the Future of Polygon x Push\\n\\nAll in all, we believe Push will be a game-changer for dApp store creators. Push Protocol will enable these creators to offer a more personalized experience while interacting with their users more efficiently and seamlessly. Together, this will enhance user engagement and the overall user experience for dApp store users.\\n\\nWe are excited about this new integration and the potential it brings to the world of decentralized applications. We look forward to collaborating with dApp store creators and their users to create a more personalized and seamless experience for everyone!\\n\\nLearn more about dApp Store Kit using Push on our

\\n\\nToday, Push Protocol is excited to announce the launch of Push Video! Push Video is the first wallet-to-wallet video chat that allows web3 users to video chat with each other live. Get started at [app.push.org](https://app.push.org/chat)!\\n\\nPush Protocol began with push notifications to web3 in January 2022 on Ethereum. Since then, Push has expanded to Polygon and BNB Chain. In October 2022 at Devcon in Bogota, we announced the launch of Push Chat, our wallet-to-wallet messaging protocol. Since launch, Push Protocol has powered over 30M messages to 85,000+ users across 500+ integrations.\\n\\nBuilt on the success of Push Notifications and Push Chat, we\u2019re now excited to officially release Push Video!\\n\\nThe web3 social media and chat ecosystem is expanding rapidly today, but Push Video has always been our plan. Back in our [2020 whitepaper](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1590388512280711170?s=20), we referenced that decentralized video chat was on our timeline as a natural component to the web3 communication stack we built, starting with notifications. Also in Bogota, at Polygon Connect, we gave the community a [preview of Push Video](https://twitter.com/harshrajat/status/1579628569453813760?s=20), which was then under development. Between Bogota and today\u2019s announcement, we\u2019ve built off the success of Push Protocol notifications and Push Chat to expand the ecosystem of decentralized social networking.\\n\\n![Push Video 1](./image-1.png)\\n\\nWhat can you do with Push Video? Well, anything you do with video today. Social chats, business meetings, customer support, streaming, gaming, telehealth, education and coaching \u2014 the list goes on.\\n\\n### Launching at Pragma Tokyo, ETH Global\\n\\nBack in 2020, Push Protocol (then, EPNS) was born out of ETHGlobal 2020. Today, we are announcing Push Video during ETHGlobal in Tokyo, at the [Pragma](https://ethglobal.com/events/pragma-tokyo) event.\\n\\nAfter Push Chat, Push Video is the second major social networking product to be launched by Push Protocol. We will continue to develop these products, adding features like group and streaming. Soon in our roadmap we have web3 \u201cTwitter spaces like experience\u201d, allowing communities to come together on decentralized online forum. All of these products will be tied together by the fundamental notifications layer that we have built and scaled to date. Piece by piece, Push Protocol is building the decentralized social networking ecosystem for all users of the future internet.\\n\\n### The Push Developer Video SDK\\n\\nThe Push Developer Video SDK is launching soon! The SDK will give app developers an easy way to start integrating decentralized notifications, chat, and/or video directly into their applications. We\u2019ll be launching the SDK imminently, so join the #dev-chat channel in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) to learn more.\\n\\n### How to Get Started with Push Video?\\n\\nSending a video request and getting started with decentralized video chat is easy! Here\u2019s a step by step guide.\\n\\nStep 1: Head to app.push.org and connect your MetaMask (or your preferred wallet).

\\n\\nStep 2: Click on \u201cPush Chat\u201d on the left navigation bar. Search for the recipient you want to video call with their wallet address or their ENS name.\\\\*

\\n\\n![Push Video 2](./image-2.png)\\n\\n![Push Video 3](./image-3.png)\\n\\nStep 3: Start a video call using the camera/video icon on the right side of the screen.

\\n\\n![Push Video 4](./image-4.png)\\n\\n\\\\*Note: You need to be friends prior to making a call. You can do this by starting a text conversation first. Once the other person accepts your message request, you\u2019re all set to have a safe & secure video call."},{"id":"enhancing-security-and-ux-through-communication-push-notifications-for-safe-wallet","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/enhancing-security-and-ux-through-communication-push-notifications-for-safe-wallet","source":"@site/blog/2023-04-12-push-for-safe-wallet/index.md","title":"Enhancing Security and UX Through Communication | Push Notifications for Safe Wallet\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9a","description":"Cover image of Enhancing Security and UX Through Communication | Push Notifications for Safe Wallet\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9a","date":"2023-04-12T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 12, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Development","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-development"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"}],"readingTime":1.6766666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"enhancing-security-and-ux-through-communication-push-notifications-for-safe-wallet","title":"Enhancing Security and UX Through Communication | Push Notifications for Safe Wallet\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9a","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.gif","text":"We\u2019re excited to announce that Push protocol is integrating with Safe, the ultimate decentralized custody and collective asset management platform\ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f","tags":["Web3","Blockchain Development","Blockchain Technology","Announcements"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Push Launches Wallet-to-Wallet Video Chat\ud83d\udcf9","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-launches-wallet-to-wallet-video-chat"},"nextItem":{"title":"Join us for the ETHGlobal Tokyo Hackathon\ud83d\uddfc","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/join-us-for-the-eth-global-tokyo-hackathon"}},"content":"![Cover image of Enhancing Security and UX Through Communication | Push Notifications for Safe Wallet\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udc9a](./cover-image.gif)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to announce that Push protocol is integrating with Safe, the ultimate decentralized custody and collective asset management platform\ud83c\udf89\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f\\n\\nThis integration is designed to take the Safe user experience to the next level. Now with Push notifications, Safe users can rest easy knowing they are in complete control and up to date on the status of their assets with real-time notifications to keep them informed.\\n\\nSafe is a collective asset management platform that provides a secure way for web3 organizations and users to manage their crypto funds. Unlike traditional wallets, Safe is a multi-signature smart contract wallet that allows users to define a list of owner/signer accounts and a threshold number of signers required to confirm a transaction. This feature makes Safe a popular choice for DAOs and other decentralized organizations that require the management of pooled funds.\\n\\nThe addition of notifications through Push Protocol will enhance the accessibility of transparent infomation tied to the Safe platform. By allowing users to gain real-time insights into the status of their transactions, notifications will enable users to take timely action whenever need be.\\n\\n## Push X Safe: Empowering Secure Asset Management\\n\\nAs a trusted decentralized custody protocol, easier transparent communication is now an additional feature Safe users can benefit from. Enhanced by Push, Safe users can feel confident about always being up to date on the state of their assets and transactions.\\n\\n
It is great to see Push protocol integrating with Safe to offer our users another surface to have their pending transaction and signature notifications. We want to make smart account usability be akin to the simplicity of web2 and communication will play a part in that. \u2014 Lukas Schor, Co-founder of Safe
\\n\\nBy opting in to Push notifications, Safe users can be notified of any pending signatures or executions of all the safes in a particular wallet address. Push is looking forward to exploring new ways to enhance the Safe UX with notifications and are excited for what\u2019s to come.\\n\\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to see these pending transaction notifications take effect and similarly excited to explore additional opportunities for using web3 communication to enhance Safe\u2019s UX\u201d \u2014 Harsh Rajat, Push Protocol CEO & Co-founder
\\n\\nIt\u2019s Push\u2019s goal that this collaboration with Safe will showcase a way in which web3 organizations and individuals can better monitor their crypto assets.\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to be working alongside the Safe team and paving the way for a safer and more decentralized future.\\n\\n## About Safe\\n\\nSafe (previously Gnosis Safe) is a on-chain asset custody protocol, securing ~$40 Billion in assets today.

\\n\\nPush Protocol is ushering in a new era of sophisticated web3 middleware. We\u2019re enabling a more efficient, effective, and democratic decentralized ecosystem.\\n\\nAs the backbone for communication and an essential layer of web3 infrastructure, Push Protocol streamlines decentralized coordination and elevates web3 governance structures. From seasoned web3 experts to those just beginning their journey into the decentralized world, Push Protocol is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to build and participate in the web3 ecosystem. Push is poised to be a driving force in the future of decentralized systems by enabling frictionless and permissionless collaboration, decision-making, and innovation.\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s robust and flexible utility empowers developers to break free from the constraints of traditional web2 infrastructure. This infrastructure is often relied on for web3-based systems. Through our web3 tools, developers can now create innovative applications and governance structures that tackle the coordination problem in web3.\\n\\nWith its expansive array of possibilities, Push invites developers to bring the web3 vision to life through custom, creative solutions that deliver on the full potential of decentralized systems.\\n\\nLet\u2019s explore some examples.\\n\\n## Enabling Real-Time Communication Between DAOs\\n\\nPush Protocol revolutionizes communication within the web3 ecosystem, including between DAOs. With the innovative Push Chat and Protocol features, DAOs can incorporate Push to communicate and make decisions in real time, elevating their coordination and decision-making processes. This allows stakeholders in multiple projects and developers working in one or various ecosystems to collaborate and connect seamlessly and efficiently through their associated DAOs, truly scaling the development and building processes within the web3 space.\\n\\nAnd it\u2019s not just DAOs that benefit \u2014 other agents in the web3 ecosystem can participate in discussions directly from their wallets or dapps, bridging the gap and fostering seamless collaboration.\\n\\n## Breaking Down Barriers to New Solutions\\n\\nAs we\u2019ve outlined, the current web2 communication infrastructure is centralized and controlled by a few large corporations, resulting in censorship, data privacy breaches, and a lack of transparency. Push Protocol solves these issues by providing a decentralized communication layer controlled by the community. Its open-source codebase and IP program guarantee that the protocol evolves transparently and democratically, with the community having the final say on any changes or improvements.\\n\\nMoreover, Push Protocol provides a range of tools for developers to build and customize their solutions, including the Push Chat, which enables real-time communication, and the Push-SDK, which offers a range of functionality for building and integrating with the protocol. Additionally, Push Protocol provides seamless integration with other web3 technologies, such as Ethereum and Polygon, making it an invaluable addition to any web3 development stack.\\n\\nWith all this in mind, there are many ways that the governing of this model can be improved, which includes communication directly to interested users and notifications on important updates and changes, web3 style!\\n\\n## Unlocking Next-Generation Governance Structures\\n\\nIncorporating a decentralized communication layer like Push Protocol in web3 infrastructure is the key to unlocking next-generation governance structures. The ability for DAOs and other actors in the web3 ecosystem to communicate and coordinate seamlessly opens up new possibilities for improving and refining existing governance structures. From upgrading voting mechanisms to enhancing ownership and communication processes, the introduction of Push Protocol will allow web3 governance-based systems to scale and evolve in ways never before seen.\\n\\n## Pushing the Limits of Improvement Proposals\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s Improvement Proposal program, PIP or Push Improvement Proposals, provides a transparent and open forum for stakeholders to submit proposals for improvements and changes to the protocol. Like the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) program and other DAO-facilitated programs, such as the Polygon DAO and Uniswap DAO, the PIP program ensures that Push Protocol stays at the forefront of the web3 landscape, continuously evolving and improving to meet the community\u2019s needs.\\n\\nHowever, most improvement proposal programs rely on a subset of web2-based technology and communication channels. By providing a decentralized communication layer for DAOs, Push Protocol is taking the next step in scaling improvement proposals, enabling stakeholders, whether they are users, developers, investors, etc., to coordinate robustly across different improvement proposals."},{"id":"push-protocol-push-is-now-listed-on-crypto-com","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-push-is-now-listed-on-crypto-com","source":"@site/blog/2023-03-30-posh-on-crypto-com/index.md","title":"Push Protocol ($PUSH) is Now Listed On Crypto.com!","description":"Cover image of Push Protocol ($PUSH) is Now Listed On Crypto.com!","date":"2023-03-30T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 30, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"New Listings","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/new-listings"},{"label":"Cryptocom","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/cryptocom"}],"readingTime":0.52,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-protocol-push-is-now-listed-on-crypto-com","title":"Push Protocol ($PUSH) is Now Listed On Crypto.com!","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"We\u2019re glad to share that Push Protocol ($PUSH) is now listed in the Crypto.com App, one of the biggest exchanges in the US with over 80 million customers.","tags":["Web3","New Listings","Cryptocom"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Enhancing Governance Through Web3 Communication Tools \ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/enhancing-governance-through-web3-communication-tools"},"nextItem":{"title":"Launch of The Push Ambassadors Program \ud83d\udc9c (English + Espa\xf1ol)","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/launch-of-the-push-ambassadors-program-english-espanol"}},"content":"![Cover image of Push Protocol ($PUSH) is Now Listed On Crypto.com!](./cover-image.png)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nWe\u2019re glad to share that Push Protocol ($PUSH) is now listed in the Crypto.com App, one of the biggest exchanges in the US with over 80 million customers.\\n\\nCrypto.com App users can now purchase PUSH with USD, EUR, GBP, and 20+ fiat currencies, and spend it at over 80 million merchants globally using the Crypto.com Visa Card.\\n\\nTo users of Crypto.com, we are excited to be increasing accessibility to our native token and look forward to new holders joining our growing community!\\n\\n[Trade $PUSH now on Crypto.com](https://crypto.com/exchange/trade/PUSH_USD)\\n\\nYou can also read the official announcement from Crypto.com here: https://crypto.com/product-news/crypto-com-app-lists-push-protocol-push\\n\\n

This is where communication channels come in. Serving as a bridge between dapps and users, enabling notifications, chat messages and other forms of communication across various blockchain networks.\\n\\nIn this article we will dive deeper into the concept of communication channels, their evolution in the current web, and how Push Protocol is being used to improve this communication process.\\n\\n## What Are Communication Channels?\\n\\nA communication channel is a virtual connection that enables the exchange of information between two or more entities. In the current web, communication channels are typically software-based programs or services that facilitate the exchange of messages, images, files, or other forms of data between users.\\n\\nCommunication channels have been a crucial part of the web since its inception. In the era of Web2, communication channels are ubiquitous and enable us to communicate with our friends, family, and colleagues in real-time. Examples of communication channels in the current web include messaging apps, social media platforms, email, and video conferencing tools like Telegram and Zoom.\\n\\nCommunication channels in Web2 can be divided into two categories: synchronous and asynchronous.\\n\\nSynchronous communication channels refer to real-time communication between two or more individuals. The most common examples of synchronous communication channels include phone calls, instant messaging, and video conferencing. These channels allow people to communicate with each other in real-time.\\n\\nAsynchronous communication channels on the other hand, refers to communication that doesn\u2019t require real-time interactions. The most common examples of asynchronous communication channels include email, social media, and forums. These channels allow people to communicate with each other at their own convenience.\\n\\nIn Web2, communication channels have been used by businesses to improve customer engagement and provide better customer service. For instance, businesses can use email or social media to inform customers about product updates, promotions, and special offers. They can also use messaging apps and chatbots to provide customer support and resolve issues in real-time.\\n\\nIn Web3, communication channels have a similar function but operate on different infrastructures. Instead of relying on centralized servers, Web3 communication channels are built on decentralized networks, such as the Ethereum blockchain. These channels allow dapps, wallets, and services to send notifications, chat messages, and other forms of communication to their users on various blockchain networks.\\n\\nAt a technical level, a communication channel in Web3 typically involves the creation of a smart contract on the blockchain. The smart contract acts as an intermediary between the dapp, wallet, or service and its users, enabling messages to be sent back and forth. These messages can be encrypted to provide an additional layer of security and privacy.\\n\\n## Push Protocol and Communication Channels\\n\\nWithin Push Protocol, a communication channel is a service via smart contracts that facilitates messaging and notifications for Web3 users. These communication channels enable dApps, protocols, or even Web2 services to send messages to subscribers directly linked to their wallet addresses. Communication channels are designed to be chain-agnostic, meaning that they can deliver messages on any network of choice.\\n\\nPush Protocol allows for both general chat and notifications. Users can restrict receiving notifications only from specific channels to ensure they only receive messages from approved senders. Users can opt in or out of the channels they are interested in without incurring transaction fees. The communication channels are also spam resistant and ensure that subscribers only receive messages relevant to them. This is accomplished through smart message filtering, ensuring that users only receive notifications that are relevant to their interests.\\n\\n## Creating a Communication Channel\\n\\nCreating a communication channel on Push Protocol is a simple process that can be done using the Push dapp or smart contracts. To set up a channel, you will need the following:\\n\\n- A channel name\\n- A channel logo (an image of size 128px \\\\* 128px)\\n- An amount of 50 $PUSH tokens in your wallet (and some ETH)\\n- A brief channel description (250 characters)\\n- Channel CTA (call-to-action link)\\n- Network & Alias address\\n\\nOnce you have created a channel on the compatible blockchain, you can enable it on other blockchain networks, such as Binance Chain (BNB).\\n\\n## BNB Chain (Binance Channel Setup)\\n\\nWith the recent Binance Chain (BNB) deployment, let\u2019s look at how you can create a communication channel that seamlessly communicates with users on the BNB network.\\n\\nYou must complete two straightforward steps to set up a channel alias address for the Binance Chain. First, select the Binance Chain and provide the correct alias address for the channel during its creation. Second, you need to verify the alias address on the Binance Chain.\\n\\nIt\u2019s essential to note that the alias verification procedure is part of the channel creation process, and verification must occur on the selected chain. This procedure ensures that the alias address provided during channel creation actually belongs to the channel owner. Once the verification is complete, the channel owner can use their alias address to communicate with subscribers on the Binance Chain.\\n\\nIn practice, the verification process involves\\n\\n- Logging into the dApp with the same address provided as the Alias Address during channel creation\\n- Navigating to the Create Channel menu\\n- Clicking the Verify Alias Address button\\n\\nOnce the verification transaction is approved on the Binance Chain, the alias address is successfully verified on the Binance Chain and linked with the Ethereum network channel. The channel owner can access their channel profile page and send notifications from the Binance Chain using their alias address.\\n\\nIt\u2019s worth noting that delegate addresses are also useful for ensuring notifications can be sent out from wallets other than the one that created the channel. The channel creator is the only person able to add or remove delegates at any time. The communication channels\u2019 chat feature also allows users to whitelist addresses, block addresses, and prevent spam messages. These features help ensure that communication channels remain secure and relevant to their subscribers.\\n\\nTo learn more about Channel Aliases and Delegates, you can refer to [Push documentation here](https://push.org/docs/notifications/concepts/push-notifications-for-web3/#what-is-a-channel-alias).\\n\\n## Conclusion\\n\\nCommunication channels play a crucial role in enabling decentralized applications and services to communicate with their users. Push Protocol offers a chain-agnostic solution that enables communication across ecosystems and networks. Following the straightforward steps outlined in this section, you can easily set up a communication channel on one of the compatible chains and communicate seamlessly."},{"id":"web3-and-push-protocol-through-the-lens-of-first-principle-thinking","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/web3-and-push-protocol-through-the-lens-of-first-principle-thinking","source":"@site/blog/2023-03-22-lens-first-principle-thinking/index.md","title":"Web3 & Push Protocol through the Lens of First Principle Thinking\ud83d\udd0d","description":"Cover image of Web3 & Push Protocol through the Lens of First Principle Thinking\ud83d\udd0d","date":"2023-03-22T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 22, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Pn101","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/pn-101"},{"label":"First Principles Thinking","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/first-principles-thinking"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":3.1433333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"web3-and-push-protocol-through-the-lens-of-first-principle-thinking","title":"Web3 & Push Protocol through the Lens of First Principle Thinking\ud83d\udd0d","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.gif","text":"First-principle thinking means breaking down a complex problem into its most basic, foundational elements.","tags":["Pn101","First Principles Thinking","Web3","Blockchain Technology"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Recreating Web2 Communication Channels in Web3 Using Push\ud83d\udc65","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/recreating-web2-communication-channels-in-web3-using-push"},"nextItem":{"title":"HaloFi Teams Up with Push to Enable Effortless Savings with Real-Time Notifications\ud83d\ude07","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/halo-fi-teams-up-with-push-to-enable-effortless-savings-with-real-time-notifications"}},"content":"![Cover image of Web3 & Push Protocol through the Lens of First Principle Thinking\ud83d\udd0d](./cover-image.gif)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nFirst-principle thinking means breaking down a complex problem into its most basic, foundational elements.\\n\\nOne example of applying First-principle thinking is Richard Feynman\u2019s (an American theoretical physicist) famous essay that starts with basic algebra such as addition and subtraction and explains calculus in just [four pages](https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_22.html) through fully connected coherent reasoning.\\n\\n![Reasoning](./image-1.png)\\n\\nWith that, let\u2019s explore the Push Protocol by applying First Principle Thinking:\\n\\n## The Internet.\\n\\nThe internet is a global network of computers and devices connected by a set of standardized communication protocols. These protocols define how information is transmitted across the network, including how data is encoded, transmitted, and received.\\n\\nThese devices are connected together through a variety of wired and wireless connections, including fiber optic cables, copper wires, and radio waves.\\n\\nThe internet is based on a set of standard protocols, including TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), which define how data is transmitted across the network. This creates a foundation for how data is broken down into packets, how those packets are addressed and routed across the network, and how they are reassembled into a complete message at the destination.\\n\\nThese protocols allow computers and devices to communicate with each other regardless of their location or type. They also provide a foundation for a wide range of applications and services, including email, web browsing, social networking, and online commerce.\\n\\n## How the Internet got Centralized.\\n\\nThe internet started out as a decentralized network, with no central authority in control. However, over time, the internet has become increasingly centralized as companies and organizations have gained more power and control over critical aspects of the network.\\n\\nOne of the main reasons for this centralization is the growth of large internet service providers (ISPs) and content providers. These companies have become dominant players in the online ecosystem, controlling vast amounts of data and traffic, and using their power to influence how the internet is used and accessed.\\n\\nAnother factor contributing to centralization is the development of proprietary technologies and platforms that are controlled by a few large companies. For example, many people use Google\u2019s search engine, Facebook\u2019s social media platform, and Amazon\u2019s Web Service, which all operate on proprietary technology that is controlled by those companies.\\n\\nIn addition, there are certain technical limitations of the internet itself that can contribute to centralization. For example, the Domain Name System (DNS), which is used to translate domain names into IP addresses, is controlled by a small number of organizations, making it a point of centralization.\\n\\n## The Blockchain.\\n\\nA blockchain is a distributed, decentralized ledger that is used to record transactions or information in a secure and transparent manner.\\n\\nAt its core, a blockchain consists of a network of computers that work together to validate and record each transaction. Each transaction is added to a basic containers of information in a blockchain which are known as block, which is then added to the existing chain of blocks, creating an immutable and transparent ledger that is visible to all participants in the network.\\n\\nThe security of a blockchain is achieved through the use of cryptographic algorithms and consensus mechanisms. Each transaction is encrypted and validated by multiple participants in the network, using a consensus mechanism such as proof of work or proof of stake. Once validated, the transaction is added to the blockchain and cannot be altered or deleted.\\n\\n## The Need for Decentralized Communication Protocols\\n\\n![Need for decentralized](./image-2.png)\\n\\nDecentralized communication protocols on the blockchain offer several benefits that traditional centralized communication systems cannot provide. Here are some of the reasons why a decentralized communication protocol on the blockchain is needed:\\n\\n- Security: Decentralized communication protocols on the blockchain are more secure as they use cryptography and peer-to-peer networking to ensure that messages are transmitted securely and cannot be intercepted or tampered with by third parties. In contrast, centralized communication systems are vulnerable to hacking, data breaches, and other security threats.\\n- Privacy: Decentralized communication protocols on blockchain offer greater privacy as they do not require users to provide personal information to a centralized authority. This helps to protect users\u2019 privacy.\\n- Censorship resistance: Decentralized communication protocols on blockchain are resistant to censorship as there is no centralized authority that can control or censor the flow of information. This helps to ensure that people can communicate freely without fear of censorship or repression.\\n- Ownership and control: Decentralized communication protocols on blockchain give users ownership and control over their data and communications. In contrast, centralized communication systems often collect and use user data for commercial or other purposes without their consent.\\n\\nOverall, a decentralized communication protocol on blockchain is needed to provide greater security, privacy, censorship resistance, ownership, control, and transparency than traditional centralized communication systems. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, decentralized communication protocols can help to create a more open, secure, and democratic internet for everyone.\\n\\n## The Push Protocol\\n\\nPush protocol is a decentralized communication protocol. Push protocol enables cross-chain notifications and messaging for dapps, wallets, and services through an open, gasless, and platform-agnostic mechanism.\\n\\nThis means that different applications and services can communicate with each other in a secure and open way, regardless of the blockchain platform they are built on.\\n\\nThe Push protocol provides an open communication layer that allows any crypto wallet/frontend to tap into the network and get the communication across. This can help to improve the interoperability and usability of decentralized applications and services in the blockchain ecosystem.\\n\\nPush has empowered the web3 space by delivering 25 million+ notifications, 70k+ subscribers, and over 150 integrations so far.\\n\\n![Ecosystem](./image-3.png)\\n\\n

You can enter a challenge to increase your savings, and earn NFTs, badges, and a spot on the leaderboard. But that\u2019s not all. You can create and vote on challenges of your choice as you watch your savings grow.\\n\\nSay goodbye to dull financial management and hello to HaloFi.\\n\\nFor a DeFi platform like HaloFi, it\u2019s critical to keep users informed so they don\u2019t miss out on new challenges or lose track of their savings journey. This is where Push comes in. With Push, HaloFi can easily notify users when a new challenge is launched, ensuring they never miss out on any exciting opportunities to save and earn rewards.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we are in conversation with [Rachel](https://twitter.com/RachBLondon) from HaloFi to talk about how HaloFi is progressing on its mission to enable easy personal financial management and how Push protocol is helping.\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Hi Rachel, how did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nI became involved in building in the blockchain space back in 2017 when I was working as a developer. At first, I didn\u2019t really understand blockchain, but that all changed after I spoke to someone at a hackathon who told me \u201cbitcoin has never been hacked.\u201d That statement sent me down the rabbit hole, and I started to learn some Solidity and explore the technology more. This newfound interest ultimately led me to change jobs and start working in developer relations for a protocol. That all happened in 2017/8 and since then I have been working full-time in the industry. That\u2019s the short version of my story!\\n\\n## Tell us about HaloFi \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does HaloFi solve?\\n\\nHaloFi is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that was first conceptualized in early 2020. While there are many DeFi protocols in the market, HaloFi addresses the issue of accessibility by making it easy for everyday people to save and build their personal wealth. Originally called GoodGhosting, the name was coined during an ETH London Hackathon at 4am, we recently rebranded to HaloFi. But our mission of helping people become their best financial selves, stays.\\n\\n![Dashboard](./image-1.jpg)\\n\\nWithin our app, users can join \u201cSaving\u201d or \u201cHold\u201d challenges, which require them to make regular deposits or hold their tokens for the long term. If users meet these goals, they are rewarded with additional returns from DeFi protocols, badges, and other incentives. Overall, HaloFi aims to make saving and building wealth accessible and fun for everyone. We are bringing gamification to DeFi personal finance.\\n\\n## What\u2019s your 2023 plan for you and your team?\\n\\nWe recently rebranded, and alongside this launched a suite of new features; badges, leaderboards, shareable profile pages, fiat on and off ramps, and bridging solutions. We will be building on these to make HaloFi even more accessible, fun, and engaging. Ultimately we want to be the place where people start their DeFi journey. I can\u2019t mention specifics, but there will be a lot in the pipeline.\\n\\n## How is HaloFi using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nWe are currently using Push to notify users when a new challenge launches, this means anyone using Push can be one of the first to be notified. Meaning you won\u2019t miss a tasty challenge or end up FOMOing.\\n\\nLet us know if you are using Push and HaloFi, as we have a number of additional integrations that are possible, but we want to make it work with how users are using both our product and Push. The possibilities of a crypto-native messaging layer are huge!\\n\\n## What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nThere are many! Aside from additional information about transactions, i.e. Venmoing crypto, Push could be one of the main social messaging platform, since we all now have wallet\u2019s it makes very good sense to build more social applications on top of these. For DAOs, this also has the benefit of more identity security. We\u2019ve seen time and time again how dangerous malicious impersonations can be. It think it\u2019s important we build secure and web3 native infra structure to solve this.\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nPush is a great tool for updating our community of new challenges, updates to our product and other news. It feels great to not have to rely on third party email or text solution, which sometimes can cut you out without notice. Ultimately Push is a great community building tool.\\n\\n## What do you do if you\u2019re not working?\\n\\nRollerskating! This has been my latest hobby and it\u2019s a great way to switch off, whilst being tons of fun. Aside from that travel, but I have to be honest, web3 and crypto takes up a lot of my time!\\n\\n## What haven\u2019t we asked you about that you wish we had?\\n\\nSomething that is important to me is how can we make web3 tech more accessible. We think about this alot at HaloFi, and I\u2019m sure you also do at Push. Personally I\u2019m very excited to see the developments in account abstraction, as wallet UX has always been a pain. However I also think it\u2019s important to build apps that people want to use, and can understand. We saw in 2021 how explosive the growth of NFTs was. In DeFi there is a need for easy to understand, accessible applications. We are working on this daily at HaloFi.\\n\\n

Today, there are multiple blockchain platforms with unique features, capabilities, and ecosystems.\\n\\nWith that, the need for interoperability between these different platforms has been a major challenge for blockchain technology\u2019s growth and mass adoption. As such, cross-chain solutions have become essential to enable seamless interaction between different blockchain platforms though they still lack a critical component \u2014 communication.\\n\\nThis is where the Push Protocol comes into play.\\n\\n## What is Cross-Chain?\\n\\nCross-chain refers to the ability of different blockchain platforms to communicate and interact. In other words, cross-chain technology enables the transfer of assets, data, and additional information between different blockchain platforms.\\n\\nThis opens up a world of possibilities for blockchain technology, as it allows for the creation of dApps that can operate across multiple blockchain platforms without being limited by the constraints of a single platform.\\n\\n## What\u2019s the difference between Cross-Chain and Multichain?\\n\\nMultichain technology refers to creating an internet of blockchains, where blockchains can communicate freely while remaining secure. This is achieved through a shared underlying security layer that connects the different blockchain platforms.\\n\\nOn the other hand, cross-chain technology uses smart contracts to create synthetic versions of coins that can interact with other blockchains directly. In other words, multichain is about connecting blockchains, while cross-chain is about connecting assets and data across blockchains.\\n\\n## Recap on Interoperability\\n\\nInteroperability is the ability of different systems to work together seamlessly. In the context of blockchain technology, interoperability refers to the ability of different blockchain platforms to communicate and interact with each other. This is critical for the growth and mass adoption of blockchain technology, as it enables the creation of dApps that can operate across multiple blockchain platforms, providing users with more options and greater flexibility.\\n\\n## Push Protocol: Communication for Cross-Chain\\n\\nPush Protocol is the missing piece of Web3, filling the gap in critical infrastructure that has been holding back the growth and mass adoption of blockchain technology.\\n\\nUntil now, there was no solution to enable native communication between wallets in response to on and off-chain data. This has created a fractured dApp ecosystem held together by antiquated and centralized communication platforms. Push Protocol is building the communication network for Web3, addressing this gap and improving the everyday experience for blockchain users.\\n\\nPush Protocol adds the necessary middleware to achieve interoperability by providing a communication layer for cross-chain interoperability. This is especially important now, as the infrastructure layer is still being built and designed, not necessarily for the \u201cideal end product.\u201d\\n\\n## The Solution to the Problems of Cross-Chain Solutions\\n\\nImagine a future where cross-chain solutions can communicate with each other seamlessly, either autonomously or manually, sending out necessary notifications to indicate specific events. This opens up a world of possibilities and creates a more secure environment for users.\\n\\nWith the use of Push Protocol, cross-chain solutions can effectively communicate with each other, allowing for the implementation of fallbacks and fail-safes. This means that in the event of a security breach or other blockchain-related incident, these systems can automatically take effect, protecting users and their assets.\\n\\nBy having a native communication layer in the form of Push Protocol, cross-chain solutions can be made more resilient and safe, preventing terrible incidents such as hacking and the loss of funds without the ability to act.\\n\\n## The Need for Cross-Chain UX in Web3\\n\\nThere is often talk about the idea of the \u201csuper dApp\u201d or the \u201cuniversal dApp\u201d in the blockchain and Web3 space. But, real-time communication, which is a fundamental aspect of the internet as we know it, is often not a part of this equation. This can lead to a fragmented user experience for blockchain users who constantly shift between dApps and blockchain networks.\\n\\nPush Protocol addresses this issue by revolutionizing the user experience in Web3. It brings the necessary real-time communication found in today\u2019s internet to the decentralized and distributed world of Web3. By providing this missing piece of the puzzle, Push Protocol makes cross-chain communication possible and improves the overall user experience for blockchain users.\\n\\nIn conclusion, cross-chain communication is a critical component of the Web3 ecosystem, and Push Protocol provides the necessary middleware to make interoperability a reality. With its focus on improving the UX in Web3, Push Protocol is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of the decentralized world.\\n\\nIf you\u2019re curious to learn more about how Push Protocol\u2019s interoperability works and how you can enable cross-chain communication, come read more in our documentation\ud83d\udc49 [right here](/docs/notifications/tutorials/create-your-channel/)."},{"id":"birth-of-a-new-pantheon-thena-and-push-protocol-unite","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/birth-of-a-new-pantheon-thena-and-push-protocol-unite","source":"@site/blog/2023-03-15-push-thena/index.md","title":"Birth of a New Pantheon: THENA and Push Protocol Unite\ud83d\udc9c","description":"Cover image of Birth of a New Pantheon: THENA and Push Protocol Unite\ud83d\udc9c","date":"2023-03-15T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 15, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"},{"label":"Push Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-protocol"},{"label":"UX","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ux"}],"readingTime":1.4466666666666668,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"birth-of-a-new-pantheon-thena-and-push-protocol-unite","title":"Birth of a New Pantheon: THENA and Push Protocol Unite\ud83d\udc9c","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We are thrilled to announce that Push Protocol is partnering with THENA, a leading liquidity layer and DEX AMM on the BNB Chain!","tags":["Web3","Defi","Push Protocol","UX"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"How Push & Cross-Chain Communication Will Change Web3\ud83c\udf10","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-push-and-cross-chain-communication-will-change-web3"},"nextItem":{"title":"Push DAO Extends Liquidity Rewards Program in v2.0","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-dao-extends-liquidity-rewards-program-in-v2-0"}},"content":"![Cover image of Birth of a New Pantheon: THENA and Push Protocol Unite\ud83d\udc9c](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nWe are thrilled to announce that Push Protocol is partnering with [THENA](https://thena.fi/), a leading liquidity layer and DEX AMM on the BNB Chain!\\n\\nAs a liquidity layer for protocols and web3 users, THENA is a next-gen AMM (Automated Market Maker) with over $124m in TV on BNB Chain.

The server acts as a mediator, routing messages between clients and storing them in a database.\\n\\nThis model has some advantages, such as the ability to support many users and the convenience of storing messages in a centralized location. However, it also has its drawbacks. The server is a single point of failure, meaning that if it goes down, the entire chat system becomes unavailable. Additionally, the server has complete control over the messages, which means it can censor or alter them if it chooses to. Not to mention, the ethos of web3 has shown us that distributing and decentralizing methods of communication is a logical next step to drive humanity forward.\\n\\n## An Example with Discord\\n\\nIn the traditional client-server model of chat applications, such as Discord, messages are typically stored on the central server in a database. When a user sends a message on a Discord channel, it is sent from the user\u2019s client to the Discord server over a network connection using a transport protocol, such as HTTP or WebSocket. The server then routes the message to the intended recipient and stores it in the database.\\n\\nIn the case of Discord, if the recipient has enabled push notifications, the server will send a push notification to the recipient\u2019s device when a new message is received (we explained this scenario in the \u2019My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications blog post.) The message is delivered directly from the server to the recipient\u2019s account when the recipient is online and has the Discord application open on their device. If the recipient is not online or has the application closed, the message is stored on the server until the recipient becomes available.\\n\\nThis process allows for real-time communication between users and the ability to receive notifications even when the app is not open. However, it also relies on a central server to route messages and sends notifications, which can be vulnerable to outages and censorship. It is worth noting that the specifics of how messages are stored and transmitted may vary depending on the particular chat application and implementation.\\n\\n## Our Answer to These Problems? Push Chat.\\n\\nPUSHing the standards of communication started with EPNS, which transformed in Push Protocol. But Push Protocol on it\u2019s own doesn\u2019t add value to the user nor the dApp, hence, we created a host of communication solutions to be used for real-life applications.\\n\\nWith an endless number of use cases, some of which high impact areas right now that Push can revolutionize are:\\n\\n- Wallet < > dApp communication\\n- Wallet < > Wallet communication\\n- Off-chain or private marketplace communication\\n- META communication in the metaverse\\n- Off-chain games and gamified events communication\\n\\nPush Chat\u2019s potential doesn\u2019t end there. It also has the potential to encourage the development of new communication primitives in the web3 space. Providing a secure and reliable messaging infrastructure opens the door for developers to create innovative solutions for messaging and communication that were not previously possible.\\n\\nCome explore Push Chat and see for yourself!\\n\\n\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49\ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/#/chat\\n\\n## An example of Governance: Disconnected Autonomous Organizations\\n\\nAs the decentralized ecosystem grows, so does the need for effective communication between decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and their users. Unfortunately, the current communication state in the space leaves much to be desired.\\n\\nCentralized tools dominate the space, requiring users to give up some level of their privacy and personal identity to participate. This can be a significant barrier for many, especially in cryptocurrency and blockchain, where anonymity is highly valued.\\n\\nPush Chat offers a solution to this problem, providing a decentralized communication layer for web3. With Push Chat, DAOs and their users can communicate with each other in a secure, anonymous, and censorship-resistant manner.\\n\\nUsing the power of peer-to-peer networks, Push Chat allows users to send messages directly to each other without the need for a central server. This enhances privacy and security and makes the system more resistant to censorship. But Push Chat isn\u2019t just a messaging platform \u2014 it also enables censorship-resistant, decentralized polling and voting on proposals submitted on the blockchain. [With our generalized SDK (docs)](/docs/chat/concepts/push-chat-architecture/), you can use Push Chat for decentralization, security, and significantly lower costs in gas for you and your users.\\n\\nWhether voting on proposals, collaborating on projects, or just keeping in touch with fellow community members, Push Chat provides a powerful and easy-to-use solution for decentralized communication.\\n\\nPush Chat can even broadcast user transactions to a network of sequencers, where sequencers compete to include transactions, further decentralizing cryptocurrency infrastructure.\\n\\nWhether you\u2019re building a social network, a platform for collaborating on the artwork, open-source software, or any other type of dApp, Push Chat can provide a decentralized, private, censorship-resistant, and user-friendly experience for communication and collaboration. And with its ability to save gas fees through transaction aggregation, Push Chat can enhance the decentralization and ease of running your dApp or protocol, allowing users to submit their own transactions or creating a decentralized architecture that handles this for them."},{"id":"going-bananas-push-protocol-partners-with-ape-swap-for-seamless-web3-communication","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/going-bananas-push-protocol-partners-with-ape-swap-for-seamless-web3-communication","source":"@site/blog/2023-03-08-apeswap-push/index.md","title":"Going Bananas: Push Protocol Partners with ApeSwap for Seamless web3 Communication!\ud83d\udc35","description":"Cover image of Going Bananas: Push Protocol Partners with ApeSwap for Seamless web3 Communication!\ud83d\udc35","date":"2023-03-08T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 8, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Crypto","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/crypto"},{"label":"BNB","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/bnb"}],"readingTime":1.8066666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"going-bananas-push-protocol-partners-with-ape-swap-for-seamless-web3-communication","title":"Going Bananas: Push Protocol Partners with ApeSwap for Seamless web3 Communication!\ud83d\udc35","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Are you ready to take your DeFi experience to the next level?

With this API, you can easily subscribe to real-time notifications and updates from the Push network.\\n\\nIn this article, we\u2019ll go over the PUSH-SDK Socket API and how to use it in your dApp.\\n\\nimport { ABlock } from \\"@site/src/css/SharedStyling\\";\\n\\n:::caution\\nSocket API is deprecated. Push has revamped it\'s socket API into stream API which is more versatile and developer friendly, click on the link below to learn more \ud83d\udc47.\\n:::\\n\\nLearn about Push Stream API\\n\\n## Note on Addresses\\n\\nIn any of the specified methods (unless explicitly stated otherwise), you can use either CAIP format (specifically CAIP-10) or the ETH address format.\\n\\nRecall that CAIP, or Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposal, is a way to describe standards for blockchain projects that are not specific to a single chain. It was developed by the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) process and is used to identify and encode information about Ethereum addresses, contract addresses, and other crypto-assets. For example, an ETH mainnet address would be in the form:\\n\\neip155:1:0xab16a96d359ec26a11e2c2b3d8f8b8942d5bfcdb

\\n\\n
The sockets API uses CAIP-10 (but defaults to the Ethereum address format), which is a specific proposal within the CAIP specification that focuses on the identification of blockchain addresses. It defines a format for representing addresses in a way that is both chain-agnostic and human-readable.
\\n\\nThe ETH address format is supported for backwards compatibility. For example, an ETH mainnet address would be in the form 0xab16a96d359ec26a11e\\n\\n## Creating a Socket Connection\\n\\nTo create a socket connection, you\u2019ll need to create a socket connection object.\\n\\n```js\\ncreateSocketConnection(options: SocketConnectionOptions): SocketConnection\\n```\\n\\nYou can use the createSocketConnection method to create a socket connection object. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- user (string, required): The user account address, in CAIP format.\\n- env (string, optional, default: \'prod\'): The API environment to connect to. Can be \'prod\', \'staging\', or \'dev\'.\\n- socketOptions (object, optional): Options to pass to SocketIO.\\n\\nThis method returns a SocketConnection object that you can use to connect, disconnect, and subscribe to events.\\n\\n## For Notifications\\n\\nTo create a socket connection for notifications, you\u2019ll need to create a socket connection object.\\n\\n```js\\nconst pushSDKSocket = createSocketConnection({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xab16a96d359ec26a11e2c2b3d8f8b8942d5bfcdb\', // CAIP-10 format\\n env: \'staging\',\\n socketOptions: { autoConnect: false },\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## For Push Chat\\n\\nTo create a socket connection for chat, you should define the socket type as \u201cchat\u201d when instantiating the socket client. The user address can be in any format, including non-CAIP-10 formats.\\n\\n```js\\nconst pushSDKSocket = createSocketConnection({\\n user: \'0xFd6C2fE69bE13d8bE379CCB6c9306e74193EC1A9\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n apiKey:\\n \'jVPMCRom1B.iDRMswdehJG7NpHDiECIHwYMMv6k2KzkPJscFIDyW8TtSnk4blYnGa8DIkfuacU0\',\\n socketType: \'chat\',\\n socketOptions: { autoConnect: true, reconnectionAttempts: 3 },\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThis method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- user (string, required): The user account address.\\n- env (string, optional, default: \'prod\'): The API environment to connect to. Can be \'prod\', \'staging\', or \'dev\'.\\n- apiKey (string, optional): The API key to use for authentication.\\n- socketType (string, optional, default: \'notification\'): The type of socket connection to create. Can be \'notification\' or \'chat\'.\\n- socketOptions (object, optional): Options to pass to SocketIO.\\n\\nThis method returns a SocketConnection object that you can use to connect, disconnect, and subscribe to events.\\n\\n## Connecting and Disconnecting\\n\\nOnce you have a SocketConnection object, you can use the connect and disconnect methods to establish or close the connection:\\n\\n```js\\nSocketConnection.connect(): void\\n```\\n\\nUse the connect method to establish a connection to the backend.\\n\\n```js\\nSocketConnection.disconnect(): void\\n```\\n\\nUse the disconnect method to close the connection to the backend.\\n\\n## Subscribing to Events\\n\\nOnce you have a connection, you can subscribe to events to receive updates in real-time.\\n\\n```js\\nSocketConnection.on(event: SocketEvent, callback: (data: any) => void):\\n```\\n\\nUse the on method to subscribe to a socket event. This method takes an event name and a callback function as arguments. The callback function will be called whenever the specified event is triggered.\\n\\nThe following events are supported:\\n\\n- EVENTS.CONNECT: Triggered when the socket connection is established.\\n- EVENTS.DISCONNECT: Triggered when the socket connection is closed.\\n- EVENTS.USER_FEEDS: Triggered when a new notification is received by the user after the last socket connection.\\n- EVENTS.USER_SPAM_FEEDS: Triggered when a new spam notification is received by the user after the last socket connection.\\n- EVENTS.CHAT_RECEIVED_MESSAGE: Triggered when a new chat message is received.\\n\\nExample:\\n\\n```js\\nconst pushSDKSocket = createSocketConnection({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xab16a96d359ec26a11e2c2b3d8f8b8942d5bfcdb\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n socketOptions: { autoConnect: false },\\n});\\npushSDKSocket.connect();\\npushSDKSocket.on(EVENTS.CONNECT, () => {\\n console.log(\'Connected to socket!\');\\n});\\npushSDKSocket.on(EVENTS.DISCONNECT, () => {\\n console.log(\'Disconnected from socket!\');\\n});\\npushSDKSocket.on(EVENTS.USER_FEEDS, (feedItem) => {\\n console.log(`Received notification: ${feedItem.title}`);\\n});\\npushSDKSocket.on(EVENTS.USER_SPAM_FEEDS, (feedItem) => {\\n console.log(`Received spam notification: ${feedItem.title}`);\\n});\\npushSDKSocket.on(EVENTS.CHAT_RECEIVED_MESSAGE, (message) => {\\n console.log(`Received chat message: ${message.text}`);\\n});\\n```\\n\\n

\\n\\nWe\u2019re thrilled to announce the public launch of Push Chat and Push Group Chat. These latest additions to our suite of web3-native communication products are set to revolutionize the world of web3 messaging offering secure and speedy wallet-to-wallet communication for all.\\n\\nPush Chat and Push Group Chat is now available to everyone!\ud83d\udcaa\\n\\nThe public launch of Push Chat is a major step forward in realizing our vision of becoming the de-facto communication layer of web3. Our mission has always been to empower the user experience on web3, and we\u2019re excited to see Push Chat and Push Group Chat take us one step closer to achieving this goal.\\n\\nCome check out Push Chat for yourself!\ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/#/chat\\n\\n## How Does Push Chat Work?\\n\\nWith Push Chat now available to the public, web3 users can enjoy a seamless, secure, and truly private messaging experience. Using advanced technologies such as IPFS, encryption, and message pinning on Push Nodes, Push Chat ensures a no-message drop experience for the users. Additionally, each message and notification carries a unique [verification proof](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification) that allows the front-end to confirm the authenticity of the sender and message content.\\n\\nPush Protocol first announced Push Chat at Devcon in October 2022. The alpha was released to select members of the Push community. We\u2019re excited now to make Push Chat available to anyone in the Push ecosystem.\\n\\nYou can learn more details about Push Nodes, sending and receiving messages on Push Chat, storage, and security of messages [here](https://medium.com/push-protocol/were-still-pushing-a-deeper-look-into-push-chat-90fdea8d9e8e).\\n\\n## Push Chat: Paving the Way for Decentralized Communication\\n\\nAs the web becomes more decentralized, it\u2019s crucial for applications to protect user data and prevent censorship. The Push Protocol team is taking on this fundamental problem in web3 with a two-step strategy that ensures [immutability of content](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification) and elimination of censorship.\\n\\n## What makes Push Chat an ideal messaging solution for web3 dapps and their users?\\n\\nFirst, it is a permissionless protocol, meaning that any address on any platform can use their account to chat with any other account across web3, without the need to sign up with personal information. Second, Push Chat is forward-compatible, allowing it to adapt to any changes made to existing or new platforms. This ensures Push Chat remains a reliable and adaptable solution. Third, the user-friendly interface of Push Chat provides a familiar user experience that users can quickly learn. Finally, our Push Chat SDK allows developers to easily integrate the messaging layer into their application or service, improving their CI/CD processes.\\n\\nIf you\u2019re looking to provide robust communication for your dapp and users, Push Chat is the solution you need!\\n\\n## Introducing Push Group Chat \u2014 A New Way to Collaborate on Push Chat\ud83e\udd1d\\n\\nSay hello to the newest addition to Push\u2019s communication solutions: Push Group Chat. Group Chat, inherent in its name, allows web3 users to create group chats, online communities, come together and share experiences natively on web3.\\n\\nWith the introduction of Group Chat, the potential use cases for Push Chat expand to include applications for DAOs, NFT communities, gaming, and more.\\n\\n![GroupChat](./image-1.png)\\n\\nAdditionally, since Push Chat is built on top of Push Nodes, if you choose to, every chat message sent or received can have notifications natively! All web2 communications start with a notification, so why should web3 be any different?\\n\\n## What are the Group Chat features?\\n\\nGroup Chat comes with several functionalities to enhance the chat experience on your dapp including:\\n\\n- Token gate your group: Choose to allow only addresses that hold an ERC20 or a certain NFT to be part of your group.\\n- Public or Private groups: Create transparent groups where the community can read the message content or private groups where only the group members can read the chat messages.\\n- Group Meta: Have fun with it! Select a funny group name, add a group description, and select your best group picture.\\n- Add/remove admins and members: Add and remove wallet addresses to the group or promote them to become group admins so they can change group information.\\n- Share Files: Not only can you chat with your web3 friends, but you can also share hilarious GIFs, awesome images, and even important files.\\n\\nWhat\u2019s more? Each wallet can create up to 10 groups.\\n\\nWith Push Group Chat, the possibilities are endless!\\n\\nHead over to our docs to learn how you can start creating web3 communities with the Group Chat feature \ud83d\udc49 [Push chat - Group chat](/docs/chat/build/create-group/ \'Create groups for your community using Push group chat!\')\\n\\n## Pushing the Limits of Web3 Communication\\n\\nAs we look to the future, the potential for web3-native communication solutions is limitless. We\u2019re constantly striving to improve the user experience on web3 by creating solutions that prioritize privacy, security, and transparency. With the launch of Push Chat and the introduction of Push Group Chat, we\u2019re at the forefront of an exciting new era in web3 communication and we\u2019re glad to take this journey with you all.\\n\\nCome check out Push Chat for yourself!\ud83d\udc49 https://app.push.org/#/chat"},{"id":"push-eth-denver-full-itinerary","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-eth-denver-full-itinerary","source":"@site/blog/2023-02-21-eth-denver-itinary/index.md","title":"Push @ETHDenver Full Itinerary \ud83c\udf04","description":"Cover image of Push @ETHDenver Full Itinerary \ud83c\udf04","date":"2023-02-21T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 21, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Ethdenver","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethdenver"},{"label":"Ethdenver 2023","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethdenver-2023"}],"readingTime":1.57,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-eth-denver-full-itinerary","title":"Push @ETHDenver Full Itinerary \ud83c\udf04","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"ETHDenver is just around the corner and the Push team is going to be there!

It includes components for rendering notifications, spam notifications, and forms for subscribing and unsubscribing to spam notification channels.\\n\\nIn this blog post, we\'ll take a closer look at the components included in the @pushprotocol/uiweb package and how you can use them in your dApp.\\n\\n## Components\\n\\n### NotificationItem\\n\\nThis component displays a single notification item. It takes the following props:\\n\\n- notificationTitle (string): The title of the notification.\\n- notificationBody (string): The body of the notification.\\n- app (string): The name of the app that sent the notification.\\n- icon (string): The URL of an icon to display next to the notification title.\\n- image (string): The URL of an image to display in the notification.\\n- url (string): The URL to open when the notification is clicked.\\n- theme (string): The theme to use for the notification. Possible values are \'light\' and \'dark\'.\\n- chainName (string): The name of the blockchain the notification was sent on. Possible values are \\"ETH_TEST_GOERLI\\", \\"POLYGON_TEST_MUMBAI\u201d.\\n- isSpam (boolean, optional): Set to true if the notification is spam.\\n- subscribeFn (function, optional): A function to call when the user clicks the \\"Opt-in\\" button on a spam notification.\\n- isSubscribedFN (function, optional): A function that returns a boolean indicating whether the user is subscribed to the spam notification\'s channel.\\n\\nExample:\\n\\n```js\\nimport { NotificationItem } from \'@pushprotocol/uiweb\';\\n\\nfunction MydApp() {\\n const notifications = [\\n {\\n title: \'Notification 1\',\\n message: \'This is the first notification\',\\n app: \'My App\',\\n icon: \'https://my-app.com/icon.png\',\\n image: \'https://my-app.com/image.png\',\\n url: \'https://my-app.com/notification-1\',\\n blockchain: \'ETH_TEST_GOERLI\',\\n },\\n {\\n title: \'Notification 2\',\\n message: \'This is the second notification\',\\n app: \'My App\',\\n icon: \'https://my-app.com/icon.png\',\\n image: \'https://my-app.com/image.png\',\\n url: \'https://my-app.com/notification-2\',\\n blockchain: \'ETH_TEST_GOERLI\',\\n },\\n ];\\n\\n return (\\n
\\n {notifications.map((notification, i) => (\\n \\n ))}\\n
\\n );\\n}\\n```\\n\\nThe Notification Item component can also be used to render spam notifications. To get the spam data, you can use the PushAPI.user.getFeeds() method with the spam parameter set to true.\\n\\nThe NotificationItem component is a general-purpose component that can be used to render any type of notification item, including spam notifications. It accepts props such as notificationTitle, notificationBody, cta, app, icon, image, and url to customize the appearance and behavior of the component.\\n\\nThe Spam component is a specialized variant of the NotificationItem component that is specifically designed for rendering spam notifications. It includes additional props such as isSpam, subscribeFn, and isSubscribedFn that allow the user to interact with the spam notification channel. It also includes an unsubscribe form that is displayed if the user is subscribed to the spam notification channel.\\n\\nYou can use the PushAPI.user.getFeeds() method with the spam parameter set to true to get the spam data. Here\'s an example of how you can use it:\\n\\n```js\\nconst spams = await PushAPI.user.getFeeds({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n spam: true,\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nTo render the Notification Item component for each spam notification, you\'ll need to pass in the additional props isSpam, subscribeFn, and isSubscribedFn\\n\\n- isSpam: A boolean value indicating whether the notification is a spam notification\\n- subscribeFn: A function that opts the user in to the spam notification\'s channel\\n- isSubscribedFn: A function that returns a boolean value indicating whether the user is subscribed to the spam notification\'s channel\\n Here\u2019s an example of how you can render the Notification Item component for each spam notification:\\n\\n```js\\n{\\n spams.map((oneNotification, i) => {\\n const {\\n cta,\\n title,\\n message,\\n app,\\n icon,\\n image,\\n url,\\n blockchain,\\n secret,\\n notification,\\n } = oneNotification;\\n\\n return (\\n \\n );\\n });\\n}\\n```\\n\\nTo implement the subscribeFn and isSubscribedFn functions, you can use the PushAPI.channel.subscribe() and PushAPI.channel.subscribe() methods from @pushprotocol/restapi package, respectively.\\n\\nFor examples on how you can implement these functions, check out [PUSH-SDK Rest API blog post](https://medium.com/push-protocol/getting-started-with-push-sdk-rest-api-%EF%B8%8F-821e5b8389cc) we recently published.\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example of how you can implement these functions:\\n\\n```js\\nawait PushAPI.channels.subscribe({\\n signer: _signer,\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n\\nconst subscriptions = await PushAPI.user.getSubscriptions({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## Putting it all together\\n\\nHere is an example using subscribeFn that demonstrates the uiweb components used together.\\n\\n```js\\nimport React, { useState, useEffect } from \\"react\\";\\nimport { NotificationItem, chainNameType } from \\"@pushprotocol/uiweb\\";\\n\\nfunction MydApp() {\\n const [notifications, setNotifications] = useState([]);\\n useEffect(() => {\\n const fetchNotifications = async () => {\\n // fetch user notifications using the PushAPI\\n const notifications = await PushAPI.user.getFeeds({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\', // user address in CAIP\\n env: \'staging\'\\n });\\n setNotifications(notifications);\\n };\\n fetchNotifications();\\n }, []);\\n return (\\n

Notifications

\\n {notifications.map((notification, i) => {\\n const {\\n title,\\n message,\\n app,\\n icon,\\n image,\\n url,\\n blockchain\\n } = notification;\\n return (\\n \\n );\\n })}\\n
\\n );\\n}\\n```\\n\\nMydApp is a component that renders a list of notifications and spam notifications, as well as a form for subscribing to or unsubscribing from spam notifications. It uses the following components from the @pushprotocol/uiweb package:\\n\\n- NotificationItem: A React component for rendering a single notification item.\\n- Spam: A React component for rendering a single spam notification item, with options for subscribing or unsubscribing to the spam notification channel.\\n- Subscribe: A React component for rendering a form for subscribing to a spam notification channel.\\n- Unsubscribe: A React component for rendering a form for unsubscribing from a spam notification channel.\\n\\nMydApp uses the useState and useEffect Hooks to fetch and display the user\'s notifications and spam notifications using the PushAPI. It also defines event handlers for subscribing to and unsubscribing from spam notifications.\\n\\nMydApp returns a JSX element that contains the following elements:\\n\\n- A div element with a h1 element for the title of the application and a h2 element for the section heading for the notifications.\\n- A loop that renders a NotificationItem component for each notification in the notifications array.\\n- A h2 element for the section heading for the spam notifications.\\n- A loop that renders a Spam component for each spam notification in the spamNotifications array.\\n- A h2 element for the section heading for the subscription form.\\n- An Unsubscribe component if the user is subscribed to spam notifications, or a Subscribe component if the user is not subscribed to spam notifications.\\n\\nThere are of course other React components that you can to compliment the uiweb API. For instance: the Feed component is a container for displaying a list of notifications in a UI. It takes the following props:\\n\\n- notifications (array of Notification objects): An array of notifications to be displayed in the feed. Each Notification object should have the following shape:\\n- cta (string): The call-to-action text for the notification.\\n- title (string): The title of the notification.\\n- message (string): The body of the notification.\\n- app (string): The name of the app that sent the notification.\\n- icon (string): The URL of an icon to be displayed with the notification.\\n- image (string): The URL of an image to be displayed with the notification.\\n- url (string): The URL to be opened when the notification is clicked.\\n- blockchain (string): The name of the blockchain on which the notification was sent.\\n- theme(Theme object): An object defining the colors and styles to be used in the feed. The Theme object should have the following shape:\\n- background (string): The background color of the feed.\\n- color (string): The text color of the feed.\\n- chainName (string): The name of the blockchain to be displayed in the feed.\\n\\nExample:\\n\\n```js\\nimport NotificationItem from \'@pushprotocol/uiweb/NotificationItem\';\\nimport Feed from \'./Feed\'; // User-implemented component\\n\\nconst notifications = [\\n {\\n cta: \'Learn More\',\\n title: \'Notification 1\',\\n message: \'This is the first notification\',\\n app: \'My App\',\\n icon: \'\',\\n image: \'\',\\n url: \'\',\\n blockchain: \'Ethereum\',\\n },\\n {\\n cta: \'Get Started\',\\n title: \'Notification 2\',\\n message: \'This is the second notification\',\\n app: \'My App\',\\n icon: \'\',\\n image: \'\',\\n url: \'\',\\n blockchain: \'Ethereum\',\\n },\\n];\\nfunction MydApp() {\\n return (\\n \\n );\\n}\\n```\\n\\nThat\u2019s it! You now know how to use the components of the @pushprotocol/uiweb API to add push notification functionality to your application.\\n\\nWe\u2019ll cover the other parts of the SDK in the coming posts.

They allow any centralized or decentralized platform to receive communications from Push Storage Nodes, which validate and index all communications and link them to a user\u2019s wallet address and multi-chain identity.\\n\\nDevelopers can run these nodes on their backend to connect their web2 infrastructure to web3 communication, allowing for extended communication beyond web3 wallet addresses to web2 platform users. Push Delivery Nodes enable mapping any web2 device token or platform username to a specific web3 wallet address, which can then send alerts to web2 or web2.5 platforms.\\n\\nExamples of platforms that can be reached include crypto wallet apps, mobile apps, browser extensions, Telegram and Discord bots, email alerts, and more.\\n\\nFor a pure web3 experience, listening to Push Storage Nodes or utilizing their RPC endpoints/SDK is the best option. However, if you\u2019re a developer looking to extend these communication experiences to centralized platforms, you need to use Push Delivery Nodes.\\n\\n![Docusaurus Image](./image-1.png)\\n\\n## 7 Steps for Getting Started With the Delivery Node Module\ud83c\udf31\\n\\n### Prerequisites\\n\\n- MYSQL (Version >= 5.7)\\n- Redis (Version >= 6.0)\\n- Docker (For local setup)\\n- Google FCM Account Setup\\n\\n### Step 1: Clone Push delivery node repo\\n\\nGit clone can be found here: https://github.com/push-protocol/push-delivery-node.git\\n\\n### Step 2: Environment configuration\\n\\nRefer env sample file.

With our new launch, the door is wide open for the Push ecosystem to grow dramatically and bring on new exciting use cases for our communication solutions.\\n\\nWith this announcement, we\u2019re excited to introduce our BNB launch Collaborators who are collaborating with Push on various use cases to bring web3 native notification and messaging to users across the BNB ecosystem.\\n\\n### Push and BNB: Decentralized communication to power web3 UX\\n\\nUsing Push, BNB dapp developers can begin adding notification services to their dapps, building custom communication channels, and enabling wallet-to-wallet communication for users (check out [this guide](https://push.org/docs/notifications/tutorials/enabling-channel-on-other-chains/) for getting started). For end-users, this means enhanced capacity to stay updated on critical information relevant to their favorite dapps.\\n\\nThe BNB notification ecosystem will be available through the primary Push Protocol app: [app.push.org](http://app.push.org/). For users, you can follow this [user guide](https://push.org/docs/notifications/s) to begin opting-in to channels.\\n\\nThis integration is a major step forward in Push\u2019s mission to provide seamless and decentralized web3 communication and we are thrilled to have eight new frens from BNB joining our mission.\\n\\nLet\u2019s explore some interesting use cases these frens are deploying with Push.\\n\\n### Staying updated about critical events with Push notifications\\n\\nFor a powerful DEX aggregator like 1inch [Network](https://1inch.io/), rapid changes in token prices among various DEXes create the need for quick notifications. Thanks to Push, 1inch is now updating users on exchange rates, limit order executions, and expiry statuses eliminating the need for continuous monitoring of token exchange rates. Additionally, 1inch DAO can now send new governance proposal notifications directly to members\u2019 wallet addresses using Push. 1inchers can [opt-in](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x1a9dDEf485674fC60a269cf97FAbc6b8728A3497) to the channel now, and start receiving notifications.\\n\\nCEX and DEX liquidity aggregator, [Orion Protocol](https://www.orionprotocol.io/), is the single point of access to the crypto market, combining the top crypto exchanges into [one order book](https://trade.orionprotocol.io/). Through Push\u2019s seamless wallet-to-wallet technology, the Orion team can now keep users informed of their [developments](https://blog.orionprotocol.io/terminalupdates) via Push notifications.\\n\\nWith an ever-growing DeFi ecosystem and an increasing amount of on-chain activity, constant innovation is required to accommodate the growing needs of DeFi users. For one, users need to be updated about their positions and market conditions. Having to stay on top of market conditions and portfolio statutes 24/7 is exhausting. This is where notifications and real-time alerts prove useful.\\n\\nDeFi apps that require active management of positions can often lead to forgotten collateral and live loan positions. By sending real-time insights and liquidation alerts to users, liquidation can be avoided. For other critical events like price swings and changes in vault strategies, users can be notified to prompt timely action on their portfolios.\\n\\n### Improving access to DeFi tools\\n\\nUse cases are being established with [Apeswap](https://apeswap.finance/) to enhance access to DeFi tools like staking and farming. By alerting users when a new pool launches or new bonds are issued, users are given all the information they need to participate in the latest pool on time. Users can [opt-in](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x0e255B1900b8cE23f8E818C7Ee08cfd5b41df748) to the channel now, and start receiving notifications.\\n\\n[ZeroSwap](https://zeroswap.io/) is another protocol taking advantage of Push notifications to assist users with their trading strategies by updating them with the latest price information.\\n\\n### Enhanced governance and community participation\\n\\nAlmost every protocol that\u2019s integrated Push is utilizing notifications to also enhance governance on their platform. For DAOs and decentralized exchanges like Sushi, community participation is key to the growth of their network.\\n\\nTo enable this trust and distributed decision-making, users need to stay on top of what\u2019s happening. For [Sushi](https://www.sushi.com/), Push notifications are being used to update users about upcoming governance proposals within the forum as well as a medium for connecting with the community. Sushi channel is now live on Push, [opt-in here](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x458E4E1877F2F0D6752bD6f6DFd2e9048C2A56b3).\\n\\nDeFi apps like [Thena](https://thena.fi/) are implementing Push notifications to notify users to timely vote on their staking rewards program. Users can opt-in to [Thena channel](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0xC59c69342eb0bF2635dac683e44cEB2A18a5C38d) now.\\n\\nGovernance is better with Push!\\n\\n### Increasing player retention and enhancing the Metaverse experience\\n\\nMetaverse and NFT gaming have been all the rage recently. But while the Metaverse space garners a lot of attention, lacking native web3 communication remains a major challenge. NFT-gaming platform, [Wombat](https://www.wombat.app/), is solving this problem by integrating Push into their platform. For an ecosystem that relies heavily on player-to-player interactions, native communication tools can go a long way in enhancing the overall UX of Wombat.\\n\\n[SecondLive](https://secondlive.world/), a create-to-earn open Metaverse, is also committed to providing the best user experience and is working with Push to enable native web3 communication within their Metaverse. By enabling Push notifications and Chat, SecondLive is able to create a decentralized and transparent communication channel between its platform and users.\\n\\n### Pushing for success together with Frens\\n\\nWhile a lot of interesting use cases have already been established with our new frens, this is only the start of an exciting journey on BNB Chain. There are a ton of applications for communication tools yet to be explored and we cannot wait to get started.\\n\\nStay updated on BNB Chain: [Website](https://www.bnbchain.org/en), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/BNBCHAIN), [Telegram](https://t.me/bnbchain), [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@BNBChainOfficial), [Discord](https://discord.gg/bnbchain), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/bnbchaininnovation/), [Build N\u2019 Build Forum](https://www.buildnbuild.dev/), [Dev Community](https://bnbdev.community/)"},{"id":"push-protocol-launches-on-bnb-chain","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-launches-on-bnb-chain","source":"@site/blog/2023-02-15-push-protocol-launches-on-bnb-chain/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Launches on BNB Chain!\ud83d\udc9b","description":"Cover image of Push Protocol Launches on BNB Chain!\ud83d\udc9b","date":"2023-02-15T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 15, 2023","tags":[{"label":"BNB","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/bnb"},{"label":"BNBChain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/bnb-chain"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":1.8733333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-protocol-launches-on-bnb-chain","title":"Push Protocol Launches on BNB Chain!\ud83d\udc9b","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.gif","text":"Today, we\u2019re excited to announce that Push Protocol is launching on the BNB Chain mainnets!

This means the largest web3 communication platform is now available to BNB\u2019s ecosystem of thousands of dapps and hundreds of thousands of daily users.\\n\\nBack in September 2022, Push launched on Polygon\u2019s mainnet, signaling our first step into becoming the multi-chain communication protocol for all of web3. Staying true to our commitment of an interoperable future, the next chain to support Push Protocol is BNB Chain.\\n\\nThe launch of Push Protocol on BNB Chain will enable Push Notifications and Push Chat. Read on to learn more.\\n\\n### Push Notifications on BNB Chain\\n\\nTo date, Push Protocol has powered over 25 million notifications to +70,000 subscribers across the Ethereum and Polygon networks. The BNB Chain launch will allow existing BNB dapps and developers to launch and create their own channels and offer customized notifications in response to on- and off-chain events.\\n\\nAny application or individual can launch a notification channel starting today. At launch, 1inch, Sushi, Thena, and Apeswap channels will be live for mainnet notifications.\\n\\nBNB Chain will be implementing Push Smart Contracts v1.5, the newest upgrade to the Push Protocol. Push v1.5 upgrades provide imperative features including channel creation with PUSH token, enabling notifications using Subgraph, inclusion of EIP-1271, etc. Additionally, it also enables extra customization, including time-bound channels and editable channel details. The Protocol Fee Pool in v1.5 will deduct 10 PUSH from the original staked amount (minimum 50 PUSH to create a channel) for any critical transaction (like creation, reactivation, or detail modification). As part of the upcoming v2 release, the Protocol Fee Pool will have more functionality \u2014 including allowing protocol users to claim rewards and distributing funds to wallets that integrate Push Protocol. [Learn more about Push v1.5!](https://medium.com/push-protocol/introducing-push-protocol-v1-5-80eb39b55424)\\n\\nAll of these features will be enabled for BNB Chain notifications starting today. The BNB notification ecosystem will be available through the primary Push Protocol app: [app.push.org](http://app.push.org/). In order to create and enable your channel for the BNB Chain, you can follow [this guide](/docs/notifications/tutorials/create-your-channel/) to ensure the complete setup is done adequately.\\n\\n### Push Chat on BNB Chain\\n\\nIn October, Push Protocol announced our alpha for Push Chat \u2014 p2p web3 native chat between on-chain addresses. Push Chat is enabled for Ethereum and Polygon addresses, and with the BNB Chain launch, whitelisted addresses can now chat through BNB Chain as well. We\u2019ll have more information about the continued rollout of Push Chat, so stay tuned on the [Push Protocol Twitter.](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol)\\n\\n### Existing Push Ethereum & Polygon Users\\n\\nTo existing Push Protocol users on Ethereum and Polygon \u2014 say hello to the BNB Chain communities! And get ready for more mainnet announcements down the road. With today\u2019s BNB announcement, no action is needed by Ethereum and Polygon users. All notifications and channels will remain functional, as will PUSH staking and rewards.\\n\\n### Conclusion\\n\\nBack in September with the Push Protocol rebrand, we made a promise to build out the multi-chain communication protocol for all of web3. With the Polygon and Push Chat launches, we started our journey. With today\u2019s BNB Chain launch, we\u2019re continuing that promise to the Push community and to web3 at large.\\n\\nLet\u2019s #PUSH for web3 communication!\\n\\n#PoweredbyPush"},{"id":"push-and-phuture-finance-team-up-to-enhance-user-engagement","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-and-phuture-finance-team-up-to-enhance-user-engagement","source":"@site/blog/2023-02-09-push-and-phuture-finance-team/index.md","title":"Push and Phuture Finance Team Up to Enhance User Engagement\ud83d\udc0b","description":"Cover image of Push and Phuture Finance Team Up to Enhance User Engagement\ud83d\udc0b","date":"2023-02-09T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 9, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Frensofpush","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/frensofpush"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Blockchain Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain-technology"}],"readingTime":2.44,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-and-phuture-finance-team-up-to-enhance-user-engagement","title":"Push and Phuture Finance Team Up to Enhance User Engagement\ud83d\udc0b","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"This week, we are glad to feature our fren and the leading crypto index platform \u2014 Phuture Finance.

By collaborating with Push, Phuture delivers investment updates directly to its users, thereby enabling a culture of transparency on the platform.\\n\\nFor this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we sat down with Oliver Mehr, co-founder of\\nPhuture Finance to talk about Phuture\u2019s mission of enabling transparency in the DeFi realm and how Push is helping further this mission.\\n\\n### Hi Oliver, how did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nI became involved in crypto in late 2016 when the family office that I was working for at the time started to invest in crypto. It started off with just Bitcoin and Ethereum but grew from there, participating in the ICO boom and ultimately culminating in the creation of a venture fund, SVK Crypto, to invest in early-stage blockchain-based businesses. After fully deploying the capital for that fund and realizing the potential that decentralized finance had to offer, we began building Phuture.\\n\\n### Tell us about Phuture \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does Phuture solve?\\n\\nPhuture is a decentralized protocol that gives users passive exposure to crypto assets. Phuture creates on-chain index funds and structured products so anyone can get exposure to crypto without the complexity of managing each asset individually. Phuture\u2019s products are built with best-in-class methodologies and audited to the highest standards.\\n\\nHere\u2019s how it looks:\\n\\n![Docusaurus Image](./image-1.png)\\n\\n![Docusaurus Image](./image-2.png)\\n\\n### What\u2019s your 2023 plan for Phuture?\\n\\nIn 2023, we plan to take on-chain index funds and structured products to the next level with the launch of Phuture V2 a next-generation non-custodial asset management protocol. We will be releasing more details about Phuture V2 as we get closer to the launch so make sure to stay updated through our socials.\\n\\n### How is Phuture using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nPhuture is leveraging the Push protocol to create a communication channel with our users that relies solely on their wallet address and no other personal information. Through our channel, we send our users weekly updates on the performance of their portfolio as well as notify them when we rebalance our index products.\\n\\n
Engaging with your users in web3 has been an ongoing problem and we believe that through Push we can provide our users with both general updates on our products as well as notifications tailored to their Phuture portfolio. Ultimately, we believe the integration of web3 notifications into Phuture will drastically improve the user experience over time.
\\n\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nPush provides ample flexibility for us to utilize our subgraph data within our notifications to deliver accurate, account-tailored information the moment an on-chain event occurs, the timestamp is met or the transaction is triggered.\\n\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nWe are most excited about seeing Push get integrated directly into consumer wallets so that notifications can be sent straight to a person\u2019s wallet. We believe this will massively increase the adoption rate and engagement of Web3 communications through a seamless user experience.\\n\\nThank you once again for your time Oliver!\\n\\n### About Phuture\\n\\nPhuture (PHTR) is a decentralized crypto index platform that simplifies investments through automated, themed index funds on Ethereum.

Whether it\u2019s employee payroll, web3 subscriptions, or real-time investing, the need for ongoing money transfers has become more important than ever. Superfluid solves this exact problem by enabling continuous money streaming, thereby helping users, developers, and projects simplify recurring value transfer in web3.\\n\\nWith a single on-chain transaction, Superfluid allows users to send ongoing money streams that transfer value second by second in a constant flow. In effect, crypto-native organizations can now ensure a smooth and efficient flow of money to multiple employees or contributors on a recurring basis or receive on-chain subscription revenue.\\n\\n## Push X Superfluid\\n\\nAs a money-streaming platform, Superfluid empowers individuals and organizations to handle payments and subscriptions in a trustless, decentralized manner. The creation of such an ecosystem calls for a transparent communication model between Superfluid and its users. This is precisely where Push comes in!\\n\\n
\\n\\n\'We\u2019re incredibly excited to integrate with Push. Although our ecosystem has seen tremendous growth to date, it\u2019s difficult to build engaging web3 apps without having a direct communication channel with users. This is especially challenging when users are primarily identified by their wallet addresses.\\n\\nWith Push, we can now provide users with time-sensitive notifications in a secure, decentralized, and personalized way.\' \u2014 Francesco Renzi, CEO and Co-Founder of Superfluid\\n\\n\\n
\\n\\nWith this collaboration, Superfluid users can opt-in to notifications through the Push apps for when:\\n\\n- Super Token balances are low for outgoing streams\\n- A Super Token balance hit zero and outgoing streams were liquidated\\n As a result of this integration, Superfluid will have a verified channel on Push that users or developers can try out to subscribe to alerts and updates about their streams directly on their devices.\\n\\nIn the near future, Push will feature as part of Superfluid Dashboard notifications, and we hope that many others in the Superfluid ecosystem make use of these capabilities too.\\n\\n
\\n\\n\'We\u2019re thrilled to announce our partnership with Superfluid, a pioneer in web3 money streaming. By combining Push\u2019s web3-native communication tools with Superfluid\u2019s innovative payment primitive, we\u2019re enabling a truly seamless and connected web3 experience for Superfluid users.\\n\\nHowever, this is just the first stage of our integration with Superfluid and we can\u2019t wait to provide more enhancements in the near future!\' \u2014 Harsh Rajat, CEO of Push Protocol\\n\\n\\n
\\n\\nPush is excited to be encouraging financial flexibility with Superfluid, and looks forward to individuals and businesses having greater awareness around their streams!\\n\\nBeyond that, we are looking forward to delivering more decentralized notifications to Superfluid users in the coming months enabling deeper notification integration for future versions of Superfluid.\\n\\nThe user experience enhancements for Superfluid users is only just beginning!\\n\\n#PoweredbyPush\\n\\nIf you need help subscribing to the Superfluid channel, you can check out [this helpful walkthrough document here](https://help.superfluid.finance/en/articles/6974092-superfluid-push-channel).\\n\\n## About Superfluid\\n\\n[Superfluid](http://superfluid.finance/) is the leading asset streaming protocol that enables web3 native subscriptions, salaries, and rewards for DAOs and crypto-native businesses. Superfluid streams transfer value in a constant flow over time between wallets in a non-custodial and permissionless manner. Superfluid Protocol can be used to describe cash flows and execute them automatically on-chain, over time, and in a non-interactive way.\\n\\nMoney streams are programmable, composable, and modular, allowing developers to build custom applications on top of the protocol. No capital is locked up, and all inflows and outflows are netted in real-time at every block without consuming any gas. Ongoing streams can be forwarded as they are received to both wallets and applications, eliminating delays and drastically increasing capital efficiency.\\n\\n[Website](https://www.superfluid.finance/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/superfluid_HQ), [Github](https://github.com/superfluid-finance/protocol-monorepo), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/JrnpZWymeU), [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/superfluid/)"},{"id":"january-monthly-recap","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/january-monthly-recap","source":"@site/blog/2023-02-02-january-monthly-recap/index.md","title":"January Monthly Recap\u2744\ufe0f","description":"Cover image of January Monthly Recap\u2744\ufe0f","date":"2023-02-02T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 2, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Devtools","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/devtools"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"}],"readingTime":2.3966666666666665,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"january-monthly-recap","title":"January Monthly Recap\u2744\ufe0f","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"Welcome to our monthly update!

That\u2019s Wherever for you. The platform enables web3 dapps to communicate with wallets directly, no matter where they are. Communication wherever, literally!\\n\\nBy way of this collaboration, Push provides Wherever the infrastructure to facilitate wallet communication with an emphasis on personalization, automation, and user experience. Wherever relies on Push\u2019s communication layer to deliver in-app notifications while ensuring a decentralized relay and storage.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, Amos joins us to talk about how the pilot collaboration between Push and Wherever has the potential to disrupt web3 communication.\\n\\n## Hi Amos, how did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nAmos: Before I started working on Wherever, I founded an airline communication startup, helping the biggest airlines in the world communicate with their passengers during flight disruptions. Working with web2 communication infrastructure at a large scale really showed me how fragmented and antiquated it is. Dominated by either siloed walled gardens or out-of-date messaging protocols, the digital communication space was broken. In search of other alternatives, I came across the potential of web3 to disrupt this huge space and decided that I have to join this revolution. And so together with my two amazing friends and co-founders, Niv Oppenhaim and Ido Goldberg, we started Wherever on a mission to help create an internet where users can communicate with anyone from wherever.\\n\\n### Tell us about Wherever \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does Wherever solve?\\n\\nAmos: Wherever is a wallet-first communication platform. We help web3 projects communicate directly with wallets, wherever they are. Today, dapps and communities struggle to rise above the noise on Twitter and Discord, lacking a more personalized channel with their users. On top of the clutter, the web3 identity gap forces projects to \u201cspray and pray\u201d in these web2 platforms, engaging users without understanding their on-chain activity and ownership.\\n\\nWherever provides product and community managers with the tools to grow a direct web3 communication channel with their users, and leverage web3 messaging protocols to send messages directly to their wallets. Our platform is comprised of three main components \u2014 Subscriber Growth tools, Broadcasting Studio, and Web3 Inbox.\\n\\nGrowth tools are basically APIs, widgets, and Discord bots that help collect web3 subscribers and enable them to connect web2 channels, such as email and Telegram, without compromising their privacy. In the Studio, marketers can broadcast personalized campaigns directly to their users\u2019 wallets based on their digital ownership, and PMs can use our no-code builder to create automated notifications based on the users on-chain activity. Lastly, we enable dapps and Wallet Apps to embed a web3 inbox and empower their users to tap into decentralized and secure messaging.\\n\\n### What\u2019s your 2023 plan for Wherever?\\n\\nAmos: First, we believe that 2023 will be the year of wallet-to-wallet communication! Every project in the space will add web3 native messaging channels to build trust with their users, drive engagement, and foster stronger relationships.\\n\\nWe\u2019ll be focusing this year on helping dapps onboard their users to this next-gen digital communication, and leverage the messaging protocols to send the right message, at the right time, to the right wallet. Furthermore, we will be introducing cool new ways to create wallet-first loyalty & ambassador programs, user research surveys, customer support, airdrops, and more!\\n\\n### How is Wherever using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nAmos: Wherever leverages Push\u2019s communication layer to send messages directly to users\u2019 wallets. Push enables us to focus on personalization, automation, and UX while they provide the infrastructure to manage the relay and storage of the messages. Together, we are able to offer any web3 project a communication experience that is on par with web2 but completely decentralized and interoperable. This unlocks a completely new and radically different experience \u2014 your inbox, wherever you go!\\n\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nAmos: Interactive Messages! Besides interoperability and this notion of \u201cyour inbox, wherever\u201d, interactive messaging could be web3\u2019s killer feature. As Gabby Goldberg coined it, \u201ctalking to the protocol\u201d, means that the recipient of the message is the protocol itself. Interactive Messages would enable users to do almost everything through the chat interface \u2014 send money to a friend, submit an NFT offer, or vote on a new DAO proposal. This will take web3 from \u201cbeing on par with web2\u201d, to \u201ckicking web2 in the a\\\\*\\\\*\u201d!\\n\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nAmos: The experience so far has been great! We look forward to collaborating and helping more web3 projects leverage the Push protocol to engage their users in more delightful ways.

Using the SDK, developers can:\\n\\n- Build PUSH features into their dapps\\n- Get access to Push Nodes APIs\\n- Render Push Notifications UI\\n\\nIt is written in Typescript and supports React, React Native, Plain JS, and Node JS-based platforms. (We are adding support for more!) It is also built on top of standard Web3 packages like ethers, @web3-react.\\n\\nIf you\u2019re looking for our full documentation on [Push-SDK REST API, you can find that here](https://push.org/docs).\\n\\nBut for now, let\u2019s walk you through the main features of the Push-SDK REST API and how to use them in your code.\\n\\n## Fetching user notifications\\n\\nYou can use the getFeeds method to fetch a user\'s notifications. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- user (mandatory, string): The user\u2019s address in CAIP format.\\n- page (optional, number): The page index of the results. Default is 1.\\n- limit (optional, number): The number of items per page. Default is 10.\\n- spam (optional, boolean): Whether to fetch spam notifications. Default is false.\\n- env (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.\\n- raw (optional, boolean): Whether to return the raw, unformatted API response. Default is false.\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example of how you might use the getFeeds method in your code:\\n\\n```js\\nconst notifications = await PushAPI.user.getFeeds({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nIn this example, we define a user address using the CAIP format. CAIP, or Chain Agnostic Improvement Proposal, is a way to describe standards for blockchain projects that are not specific to a single chain. It was developed by the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) process and is used to identify and encode information about Ethereum addresses, contract addresses, and other crypto-assets.\\n\\nIt is important to note that CAIP is not a standardized way of identifying and encoding information about crypto-assets; it is under development by the Ethereum community and is not yet widely adopted in the ecosystem.\\n\\nCAIP addresses are composed of three parts:\\n\\n- The namespace: This is a string designed to uniquely identify a blockchain ecosystem or set of ecosystems as a namespace.\\n- The network ID: This is an integer that identifies the Ethereum network the asset belongs to. For example, 1 is the main network, 3 is the Ropsten test network, 5 is the Goerli test network, and 11155111 is Sepolia test network.\\n- The address: This is the actual address of the asset, encoded as a hexadecimal string.\\n\\nFor instance:\\n\\n```js\\neip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\\n```\\n\\nIn this example, the namespace is eip155 which identifies EVM chains, the network ID is 5 (Goerli test network) and the address is 0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681.\\n\\nCAIP is designed to be flexible and extensible, allowing for the inclusion of additional information as needed. It is used by the Push Protocol and other Ethereum-based projects as a standardized way of identifying and encoding information about crypto-assets, and distinguishing information from different chains.\\n\\nContinuing with getFeeds, to fetch spam notifications, set the spam parameter to true:\\n\\n```js\\nconst spams = await PushAPI.user.getFeeds({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n spam: true,\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThe getFeeds method returns a list of notifications for the specified user.\\n\\n## Fetching user subscriptions\\n\\nYou can use the getSubscriptions method to fetch a user\'s subscriptions. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- user (mandatory, string): The user\u2019s address in CAIP format.\\n- env (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.\\n Here\u2019s an example of how you might use the getSubscriptions method in your code:\\n\\n```js\\nconst subscriptions = await PushAPI.user.getSubscriptions({\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThe getSubscriptions method returns a list of channels `[{ channel: \'0xaddress\', ... }]` subscribed by the user.\\n\\n## Fetching channel details\\n\\nYou can use the getChannel method to fetch information about a specific channel. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\nchannel (mandatory, string): The channel\u2019s address in CAIP format.\\nenv (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.\\nHere\u2019s an example of how you might use the getChannel method in your code:\\n\\n```js\\nconst channelData = await PushAPI.channels.getChannel({\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThe getChannel method returns an object with information about the channel.\\n\\n## Searching for channels\\n\\nYou can use the search method to search for channels based on a specified query. It takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- query (mandatory, string): The search query.\\n- page (optional, number): The page index of the results. Default is 1.\\n- limit (optional, number): The number of items per page. Default is 10.\\n- env (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example of how you might use the search method in your code:\\n\\n```js\\nawait PushAPI.channels.subscribe({\\n signer: _signer,\\n user: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThe subscribe method returns a confirmation of the subscription.\\n\\n## Opting out of a channel\\n\\nYou can use the unsubscribe method to allow a user to opt out of a specific channel. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\n- signer (mandatory, object): The object that signs the unsubscription transaction.\\n- user (mandatory, string): The user\u2019s address in CAIP format.\\n- channel (mandatory, string): The channel\u2019s address in CAIP format.\\n- env (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.\\n Here\u2019s an example of how you might use the unsubscribe method in your code:\\n\\n## Sending a notification\\n\\nYou can use the sendNotification method from the payloads object to send a direct payload notification to a specific recipient, group of recipients, or all recipients. This method takes an options object as an argument, which allows you to specify the following parameters:\\n\\nsigner (mandatory, object): The object representing the signer for the transaction.
\\n\\ntype (mandatory, number): The type of recipient. Possible values are 1 (broadcast), 3 (single recipient), and 4 (group of recipients).
\\n\\nidentityType (mandatory, number): The identity type of the recipient. Possible values are 2 (direct payload).
\\n\\nnotification (mandatory, object): An object representing the notification.
\\n\\n- title (mandatory, string): The title of the notification.\\n- body (mandatory, string): The body of the notification.\\n payload (mandatory, object): An object representing the payload.\\n\\n- title (mandatory, string): The title of the payload.\\n- body (mandatory, string): The body of the payload.\\n- cta (optional, string): The call-to-action of the payload.\\n- img (optional, string): The image of the payload.
\\n\\nrecipients (optional, string or array of strings): The recipient address(es) in CAIP format. Only required for type 3 (single recipient) or type 4 (group of recipients).
\\n\\nchannel (mandatory, string): The channel\u2019s address in CAIP format.
\\n\\nenv (optional, string): The API environment to use. Possible values are \u2018prod\u2019 and \u2018staging\u2019. Default is \u2018prod\u2019.
\\n\\nHere are examples of how you might use the sendNotification method in your code:\\n\\nSingle recipient (target):\\n\\n```js\\nconst apiResponse = await PushAPI.payloads.sendNotification({\\n signer,\\n type: 3, // target\\n identityType: 2, // direct payload\\n notification: {\\n title: `[SDK-TEST] notification TITLE:`,\\n body: `[sdk-test] notification BODY`,\\n },\\n payload: {\\n title: `[sdk-test] payload title`,\\n body: `sample msg body`,\\n cta: \'\',\\n img: \'\',\\n },\\n recipients: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\', // recipient address\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\', // your channel address\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nGroup of recipients (subset):\\n\\n```js\\nconst apiResponse = await PushAPI.payloads.sendNotification({\\n signer,\\n type: 4, // subset\\n identityType: 2, // direct payload\\n notification: {\\n title: `[SDK-TEST] notification TITLE:`,\\n body: `[sdk-test] notification BODY`,\\n },\\n payload: {\\n title: `[sdk-test] payload title`,\\n body: `sample msg body`,\\n cta: \'\',\\n img: \'\',\\n },\\n recipients: [\\n \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\',\\n \'eip155:11155111:0xCdBE6D076e05c5875D90fa35cc85694E1EAFBBd1\',\\n ], // recipients addresses\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\', // your channel address\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nAll recipients (broadcast):\\n\\n```js\\nconst apiResponse = await PushAPI.payloads.sendNotification({\\n signer,\\n type: 1, // broadcast\\n identityType: 2, // direct payload\\n notification: {\\n title: `[SDK-TEST] notification TITLE:`,\\n body: `[sdk-test] notification BODY`,\\n },\\n payload: {\\n title: `[sdk-test] payload title`,\\n body: `sample msg body`,\\n cta: \'\',\\n img: \'\',\\n },\\n channel: \'eip155:11155111:0xD8634C39BBFd4033c0d3289C4515275102423681\', // your channel address\\n env: \'staging\',\\n});\\n```\\n\\nThe sendNotification method returns a confirmation (apiResponse) of the notification being sent, with a status code of 204 indicating success.\\n\\nThat\u2019s it!

If you want to be featured, reach out to us and you could be our next Fren in the series.\\n\\n\\nThis week, we\u2019re delighted to have on a leading decentralized stablecoin protocol and our fren, QiDao, to talk about their journey with Push.\\n\\nA bit about [QiDao](https://www.mai.finance/). How do you keep your crypto assets while still being able to spend their value? QiDao stablecoin protocol allows you to lock your tokens out of circulation and be used as collateral to borrow stablecoins. As a borrowing and lending protocol, QiDao is self-sustained, community-run, and completely decentralized.\\n\\nFor a borrowing protocol, updating its users about their debt positions is immensely important to keep their positions from liquidating. This is where Push steps in. By sending Push notifications directly to users, QiDao is able to update users about the health of their debt positions, thereby preventing potential losses.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u2018Frens of Push\u2019, we sat down with [Benjamin](https://twitter.com/Benjamin918_) from QiDao to talk about the problem QiDao is trying to solve, their vision, and their journey with Push.\\n\\n### Hi Benjamin, how did you first get involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nBenjamin: I\u2019ve been in crypto for a few years now. Started launching some infrastructure projects in early blockchains. When the DeFi movement really started, that became more of my focus.\\n\\n### Tell us about QiDao \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does QiDAO solve?\\n\\nBenjamin: QiDao is a stablecoin protocol that allows you to mint MAI against the value of your tokens. What makes MAI special is that you can mint it natively against your favorite collaterals on your favorite chains. As a result, you don\u2019t have to trust bridges to access stablecoins. You can create them on your chain.\\n\\nAdditionally, MAI loans are 0% interest, so your debt amount does not change. QiDao only charges a 0.5% repayment fee, which stays constant in value no matter when you repay.\\n\\n### What\u2019s your 2023 plan for QiDao?\\n\\nBenjamin: We have a ton planned for 2023. Here are the 3 I\u2019m most excited about.\\n\\nA stability pool to liquidate debt positions at QiDao will soon be rolled out. This will offer MAI holders a new yield opportunity that won\u2019t rely on inflationary tokenomics. It will also have a component for arbitrageurs to buy collateral assets with MAI at a fixed MAI price of $1.\\n\\nLiquidation-protected vaults. Our team is working on vaults that will protect users from being liquidated. What\u2019s interesting about this product is that it will be fully onchain, unlike alternative liquidation protection products.\\n\\nWe\u2019re one of a handful of protocols alpha-testing Chainlink\u2019s brand new CCIP \u2014 a cross-chain messaging system. QiDao will likely use this for cross-chain governance and improved bridging.\\n\\n### How is QiDao using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nBenjamin: When users take loans in crypto, they have to be very careful to maintain the collateralization of their debt position. Otherwise, those debt positions can be liquidated.\\n\\nAt QiDao, we use Push so that users can stay up to date with the health of their debt positions. This can help prevent unnecessary user losses. In general, users trust Push given their OG status in crypto and their amazing track record.\\n\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nBenjamin: It\u2019s amazing! We had people tell us for months that they wanted this integration so it\u2019s great to have this utility. What\u2019s best is that it\u2019s simple to use. And that\u2019s what has brought so many of our users to the platform.\\n\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nBenjamin: What Push is really good for is keeping people\u2019s attention. Because normally you exit a dapp and that\u2019s it- no more engagement. Take a look at sites like Twitter, which are always trying to get you back. Push can be a powerful tool for user engagement.\\n\\nThank you, Benjamin, for taking the time to speak with us. We look forward to accelerating your growth and helping bring value to your users.\\n\\n## About QiDao\\n\\nQiDao is Polygon\u2019s first native stablecoin protocol (and is now supported by multiple chains) that functions on an over-collateralized debt position model. The protocol allows its users to borrow $MAI or miMatic stablecoin against their decentralized token collaterals.\\n\\nFind out more about QiDao: [Website](https://app.mai.finance/), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/QiDaoProtocol?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/mQq55j65xJ), [Docs](https://docs.mai.finance/introduction-1)\\n\\n\\n \u201cPush frens\u201d is our weekly content series to spotlight outstanding projects building with Push.

Instead, it depends on a distributed network of nodes to handle and route data between users. This ensures communication is resistant to censorship, tampering, and other forms of interference, as well as be able to function even if some nodes go offline.\\n\\nIn this way, a universal communication layer is accessible to all users regardless of their device or platform. This is essential in the web3 space, as users will often have a variety of different devices and platforms that they need to interact with to access and use a dApp.\\n\\n## What does it take to build a web3 communication layer?\\n\\nIn general, to build a decentralized and universal communication layer, several vital components are required, including:\\n\\n- Robust Network Architecture: The network architecture of a decentralized communication layer must be designed to ensure that data can be reliably and efficiently routed between nodes, even in the event of node failures or network congestion.\\n- Data storage: Decentralized communication systems typically rely on distributed data storage to ensure that data is stored redundantly across multiple nodes, making it less vulnerable to data loss or corruption.\\n- Consensus: A consensus mechanism ensures that all nodes in the network agree on the system\u2019s state. This is particularly important in decentralized systems, as there is no central authority to ensure that all nodes are in sync. Network maintainers must verify and finalize message data for a communication layer to function.\\n- Security: Securing a decentralized communication system is a significant concern, as there are a variety of potential attack vectors that could be used to compromise the security of the system. A communication layer must consider encryption and authentication mechanisms to ensure the safety of the users\u2019 data.\\n- Interoperability: A universal communication layer must interact seamlessly with various devices and platforms, so a communication protocol needs to ensure that the system can handle different data formats and protocols.\\n- Composable: A communication layer must be able to adapt to a variety of conditions and improve as required. This includes the incorporation of new technologies and web-based systems.\\n\\nWith these components, a web3 communication layer can offer censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving, and spam-protected communication while being chain-agnostic, gasless, and scalable\\n\\n## Are we still Pushing? We\u2019re always Pushing.\\n\\nBuilding a decentralized communication layer is a process, not a product, meaning it\u2019s not something that can be fully achieved but rather something that requires consistent development.\\n\\nThe team at [Push Protocol](https://push.org/) is continuously working on improving its architecture by crafting and refining the key components for building a communication layer. With a strong focus on security and performance, Push is working to bring the best decentralized communication tools possible to the web3 space.\\n\\nAs a result, the Push Protocol community continues to rapidly evolve and is getting closer to reaching its goal of enabling millions of users and devices to communicate simultaneously across web3. Push brings novel communication capabilities to the decentralized world with real-time messaging, efficient message dissemination, and interoperability, allowing it to become the communication standard for dApps.\\n\\nStay tuned! In upcoming posts, we\u2019ll delve into the technical details with each component, from peer-to-peer networking to message verification.\\n\\nPssssssst \ud83e\udd2b\\n\\nThanks for making it this far.\\n\\nIf you\u2019re interested in exploring how Push Notifications or Push Chat can boost user engagement and benefit your project, check out:\\n\\n- [Our Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) \u2014 we\u2019ve got devs ready to give your project whatever support and consultation you need.\\n- [Push developer docs](/docs/) to get started on building right away!"},{"id":"push-notifications-for-developer-dao-to-boost-community-participation","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-notifications-for-developer-dao-to-boost-community-participation","source":"@site/blog/2023-01-19-push-notifications-for-developer-dao/index.md","title":"Push Notifications for Developer DAO to Boost Community Participation\ud83d\ude80","description":"Cover image Push Notifications for Developer DAO to Boost Community Participation\ud83d\ude80","date":"2023-01-19T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 19, 2023","tags":[{"label":"Frensofpush","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/frensofpush"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Developerdao","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/developerdao"},{"label":"Community","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/community"}],"readingTime":2.8533333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-notifications-for-developer-dao-to-boost-community-participation","title":"Push Notifications for Developer DAO to Boost Community Participation\ud83d\ude80","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Frens of Push is our weekly content series to spotlight outstanding projects that are building with Push.

If you want to be featured, reach out to us and you could be our next Fren in the series.\\n\\n\\nSince its conception, the goal of [Developer DAO](https://www.developerdao.com/) has been to onboard, educate, and support web3 developers with all the tools they need to successfully build the next generation of web3 projects. With over 5,000+ members from around the world, it\u2019s safe to say the Developer DAO mission to accelerate the education and impact of a new wave of web3 builders has been widely accepted.\\n\\nFor a DAO that relies on the participation of its members to operate effectively, communication remains an integral component. By [integrating Push Notifications](https://medium.com/push-protocol/developer-dao-x-push-enhancing-ux-through-web3-communication-tools-7538b5656d43), the D_D community can now enhance its communication capacities and hence UX, by enabling members to better stay updated on the latest governance proposals, forum topics, and other important updates.\\n\\nIn this episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we are in conversation with [Krinza](https://twitter.com/kayprasla) from Developer DAO to talk about how Push\u2019s communication layer is powering the D_D community.\\n\\n### Hi Krinza, how did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What\u2019s your story?\\n\\nKrinza: Before joining web3 full-time, I was working in my capacity as a data scientist building AI products. My first year working in that role was all fun and games until the work started to feel redundant. It was no longer about the thrill of solving a problem anymore, but the drudgery of making the exact pipelines run in similar ways or applying them to different problems.\\n\\nThis made me start exploring blockchain in my spare time. I was already enveloped in crypto and had explored the NFT space to its fullest. Yet, it was really when I joined the Developer DAO earlier in March 2022 that things started to pull me down the rabbit hole and I became hooked to web3.\\n\\nNow I work for this project called\\nAnkr, where we are building a decentralized multichain web3 infrastructure and dev tools for developers and enterprises to experience the potential of blockchain without doing any heavy lifting themselves.\\n\\n### Tell us about Developer DAO \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem does D_D solve?\\n\\nKrinza: Developer DAO is a tokenized community of web3 builders and developers. We\u2019re all about creating public goods, offering educational opportunities, and helping developers level up their careers.\\n\\n
One of the main problems that Developer DAO solves is the lack of resources and support for new web3 developers to explore and build in this space. DevDAO has been a soft ground for most of us in kickstarting our careers in web3.
\\n\\n### What\u2019s your 2023 plan for D_D?\\n\\nKrinza: 2023 plan for Developer DAO is to keep on contributing to the organization\u2019s growth and development while ensuring we engage with members outside of the community and give them a platform to learn and grow with us. This will happen through a couple of initiatives we are launching this quarter that will get builders to attend their first hackathons (Build Scholarships), get the right kind of resources and mentorship (DevRel Incubation), and eventually full-time jobs in web3 (DevDao Jobs).\\n\\n### How is D_D using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nKrinza: We have recently plugged Push Protocol to add another layer of notification, and we\u2019re super excited to see all the awesome ways we can use it. Right now, we\u2019re thinking about sending notifications for things like new proposals on Snapshot and new topic creations on our forum. But we can also think about reminder pings for when proposal voting is about to end and notifications for our newsletter and new blog posts on DevDAO Hashnode. The possibilities are endless, and we can\u2019t wait to see what we come up with!\\n\\n### How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nKrinza: The experience with Push has been smooth, which has allowed us to make the community members informed of the on-chain activities. It is easy to integrate and offers many benefits to bring the community together in a much more secure manner.\\n\\nSpecial shout-out to Harsh, Fabio, and Jun for always being available to engage with the DevDAO community.\\n\\n### What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nKrinza: Supporting more chains, and eventually onboarding more ecosystems!\\n\\n### What do you usually do (for fun) besides web3? :)\\n\\nKrinza: Ah \u2014 lots of random things. I\u2019ve recently started to skip rope and of course more traveling.\\n\\nThank you so much Krinza. You\u2019re truly awesome! We can\u2019t wait to see how this journey goes for D_D and Push.\\n\\nAbout Developer DAO\\nDevDAO is a community of web3 builders working towards creating a better internet.

As our ambitions grew beyond just notifications, we felt we needed a brand refresh that would better accommodate our vision of becoming web3\u2019s most widely used communication protocol.\\n\\nAnd so far, people seem to love it.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nA fantastic rebrand however needs similarly fantastic project developments behind it. This started included:\\n\\n- Push going live on [Ethereum](https://medium.com/push-protocol/the-epns-mainnet-is-here-470faec0c01) mainnet in January.\\n- Completed our Series A round and honored to have some amazing [investors](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1514632659514798081) help us realize our vision.\\n- Many exciting product developments followed including the launch of the [SNS](https://medium.com/push-protocol/introducing-sns-for-push-delivery-nodes-quickest-way-to-bootstrap-your-wallet-app-or-any-c88017595e09) module for Push Delivery Nodes and the release of [SDK monorepo](https://medium.com/push-protocol/here-comes-the-all-new-epns-sdk-monorepo-framework-8447b486a801) structure. Both these developments were aimed at creating a seamless experience for developers.\\n- We launched on [Polygon](https://blockworks.co/news/polygon-onboards-new-web3-native-communication-network), adding it to our expanding list of supported chains.\\n- Our most awaited product, [Push Chat](https://medium.com/push-protocol/were-still-pushing-a-deeper-look-into-push-chat-90fdea8d9e8e) went live in alpha and with it, we took a huge step in facilitating wallet-to-wallet communication in web3.\\n\\nSince going live with all these features, we\u2019ve seen increased adoption and utility of the Push protocol.\\n\\n## Push by the Numbers\ud83d\udcc8\\n\\n2022 saw more notifications, live channels, and channel subscribers than we\u2019ve ever had before.\\n\\nAs we\u2019ve continued to refine, improve, and develop our communication tools, more protocols are harnessing the power of notifications than ever before \u2014 and we\u2019re happy to be leading the way. In fact, in Q1 and Q3 Push saw more than 20%+ QoQ growth.\\n\\nWe went [live on Polygon in September](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-protocol-launches-on-polygon-enabling-communication-for-thousands-of-dapps-1c49d7c996f8) and [live on Lens in October](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-and-lens-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-aaves-lens-85828638e691), giving Push a huge boost in the way of reach and utility.\\n\\nHere\u2019s a look at the numbers:\\n\\n![Push Growth](./image-1.png)\\nPush Growth Overview\\n\\n![Notifications](./image-2.png)\\nNumber of Push Notifications \u2014 Powered by \\n\\n## The Push Fam Continues to Expand \ud83c\udf31\\n\\n2022 was a fantastic year for making new frens and building new partnerships.

To all the devs who built using Push, all $PUSH token holders, and users who subscribe to channels \u2014 we thank you for being a part of our community!\\n\\nTo foster our community\u2019s growth, we started the [Push Grants Program](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-grants-program-its-here-f2bfba29388f) earlier this year with the goal of funding builders in the web3 space. With feedback and learnings from the first iteration of the program, [PGP v2.0](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1604867953190739973) went live later this year and we\u2019ve seen tons of projects begin to apply.\\n\\n![PGP V2](./image-9.webp)\\n\\nBeyond just community growth, we also wanted to better involve the community in the improvement of Push. To streamline feature requests, we launched [Push Improvement Proposal](https://medium.com/push-protocol/introducing-push-improvement-proposal-pip-702c44fc24f6) to create an open forum to discuss proposals for standardized, community-driven improvements in the Push ecosystem.\\n\\n![PIP](./image-10.webp)\\n\\nPush now has new initiatives for fostering Push notifications and chat integration, community-led improvements to the protocol, and community growth.\\n\\nWe have no doubt setting these initiatives up in 2022 is going to lead to a massive year for us in 2023!\\n\\n## You\u2019re the Real Rockstars\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udfa4\\n\\nWe launched the second version of Push Rockstars this year: Rockstars Of Push Vol. 2 and had 24 winners to date, 100+ submissions, and over 20M+ of $PUSH token voting!\\n\\nFrom educational threads to YouTube demos, the Push community never failed to surprise us with fantastic Push-related content.\\n\\nThanks to all the Rockstars of Push for your love and ongoing support.\\n\\n## What\u2019s Next for Us?\ud83d\ude80\\n\\nAs always, we continue to build.\\n\\nEverything we\u2019ve done this year has been a stepping stone to prepare us for a massive 2023.

\\n\\nMover is a web3 primitives platform. Mover aims to create THE web3 card for all crypto natives and offers a suite of services, including a yield aggregator, a token swap aggregator, Smart Treasury, and a crypto debit card. Mover furthers its vision of creating a truly global decentralized ecosystem by partnering up with Push and creating a seamless user experience. Mover is able to notify users of on-chain activity in their vaults \u2014 powered by Push, and these notifications help users to get real-time updates on when they earn yields on their savings.

\\n\\nIn the fifth episode of \u201cFrens of Push,\u201d we are in conversation with Anton Mozgovoy, CEO and Co-Founder of Mover, to talk about how Push is fostering decentralized communication on the platform.\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Hi Anton, how did you get into the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\n\\nAnton: I\u2019ve been in the space since 2016, and I think that everyone would agree that there are human years, and there are crypto years. Down the rabbit hole, time feels different. I love this space, and I live it. What do I do here? I\u2019m a builder. I love experimenting, I love building the tech. My passion is building simple products that solve complex problems. Mover is just that.\\n\\n## Tell us about Mover \u2014 what\u2019s it about, and what problem do you guys solve?\\n\\nAnton: Mover is a web3 primitives platform. We created the first crypto debit card that supports web3 primitives. What\u2019s that? Well, Push Protocol is a primitive. It is a communication layer primitive. Lending, savings, options, derivatives, NFTs \u2014 all of them are primitives. So in other words, Mover allows you to use your favorite crypto network or protocol in your day-to-day finance.\\n\\n## What is Mover\u2019s plan for 2023?\\n\\nAnton: A new card, more networks, more primitives, and instant cash out! That is to name a few upcoming things.\\n\\n
Our goal is very simple, we want to offer one debit card for all web3. One card for all crypto natives: those who contribute to a DAO, those who trade on DEXs, those who trade decentralized options, those who collect NFTs, those who mint NFTs, those who create NFTs, and many more. We are here to create THE web3 card.
\\n\\n## How is Mover using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nAnton: Currently, there are over 786 notifications sent to subscribers on our vault contracts. The notifications help users get real-time updates on when they receive their yield.\\n\\nYou can opt-in to the Mover channel here:\\n\\n[Push App (Previously EPNS)](https://app.push.org/?source=post_page-----d1c05c90f736--------------------------------#/channels?channel=0xb754601d2C8C1389E6633b1449B84CcE57788566)\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nAnton: We have been a customer and user of Push since the very beginning! Our mission has always been to push the boundaries of decentralized and permissionless system, while making everyday finance easier. Push Protocol is an important part of making our mission easier. Our experience has always been smooth. Only in web3 you can meet up and say \u201chow about this?\u201d and the other protocol is \u201csounds good, let\u2019s push it\u201d, and later that day it\u2019s already running on-chain.

\\n\\nMover is built by engineers and active web3 users. So our first and immediate benefit was the fact that our users can be notified of on-chain activity in the vaults, bringing us closer to the ease of web2 services.\\n\\n## What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nAnton: Web3 native customer support, debit card top-up alerts, and more!\\n\\nWhat haven\u2019t we asked you about that you wish we had?\\nAnton: Our question to the Push team: what is that one missing piece in personal finance that you wish existed today? How can Mover and Push make web3 a native place even offline?\\n\\nGreat questions, Anoton! Let\u2019s talk about it on your pod in Jan :) And thank you for taking the time to speak with us.

If you want to skip the line and become one of the first builders to try out Push Chat \u2014 keep reading \ud83d\udc40\\n\\n## What Is Push Chat?\\n\\n[Push Chat](https://app.push.org/#/chat) is a secure messaging protocol built by Push Protocol. Messages are encrypted, signed, and stored on IPFS and they are sent through Push Nodes.\\n\\nNote: The team is continuing to develop the Push Protocol including notification and chat for wallets regardless of any chain in web3 in a multichain, platform-agnostic, and gasless way. Push Chat is the next offering of the protocol after push notifications and is currently available on Ethereum and Polygon with other chain support to follow soon.\\n\\n## Why Push Chat now?\\n\\nPush Chat and video were imagined by us in 2020 but we knew that before notifications become a reality, doing chat or video will just become a novelty as everything we do in our virtual lives starts out with a notification.\\n\\nFor example, you don\u2019t chat on WhatsApp as much as you chat via notifications on WhatsApp, the same is the case with Facetime. Owing to this, Push created notifications for web3 first which paved the way for real-time communication mediums to become a possibility.\\n\\nPush Protocol\u2019s vision has remained to be the de-facto layer of communication for the entire web3 and Push Chat (with native push notification support) helps in wrapping another milestone to bring the UX of web3 on par with web2.\\n\\n## How Push Chat works?\\n\\nPush Chat uses IPFS, encryption, and pinning of the messages on Push Nodes to enable a seamless, no-message drop experience for the user. Each message (and notification) carries a verification proof which the front-end can use to determine that the message content and sender are actually the ones that sent these messages out. You can read about notification verification proofs and the various supported formats here:\\n\\n[PIPs/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification at main \xb7 ethereum-push-notification-service/PIPs](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification?source=post_page-----90fdea8d9e8e--------------------------------)\\n\\n## What are Push Nodes?\\n\\nPush Nodes are a network of nodes, where each node can have a different role in the network that is responsible for validating and dispatching each notification and chat message between addresses.\\n\\nTheir main task is to validate that:\\n\\n- the payload is following the corresponding payload standard,\\n- the sender can actually send the message, and signature validation,\\n- if the payload is valid, the Push Nodes will store the message on IPFS and then send a notification to the receiver of the message.\\n Note: Push Nodes are in alpha right now and are currently run by the push protocol team with an alpha version of these nodes scheduled to come out around Q1 / Q2 of 2023.\\n\\n## Who is currently running Push Nodes?\\n\\nThe Push team currently runs the Push Nodes for Push Chat. The team is working towards decentralizing the network every day by making progress in establishing the underlying primitives for the Push Protocol. This is only until the team fully bootstraps the Push Protocol and the protocol and Push Chat are production ready.\\n\\nOnce the network becomes fully decentralized, Push Nodes will be incentivized to maintain the network, be readily addressable, and provide message content through $PUSH tokens which are native tokens of the protocol.\\n\\nRead about Push Economics here:

\\n\\n[Push Token Economics](https://push.org/docs/tokenomics/deepdive/$push/)\\n\\n## How Does a User Send a Message Using Their Account Address?\\n\\nA user of Push Chat has two sections: Chats and Requests.\\n\\nUsers sending a message to another address for the first time will be the first subject to the Request type until the receiving address accepts the message. Then, messages and notifications from that address will appear in the receiving addresses chats section. Eventually, users will be able to block addresses. Receiving addresses aren\u2019t notified about messages in the Request box. This prevents users from receiving messages from any random address that sends them a message and general spam.\\n\\nIf a message is sent to an address that hasn\u2019t been authenticated yet on the Push Protocol, those messages will be in plain text until the receiving address authenticates itself.\\n\\n![Push Chat](./image-1.webp)\\nPush Chat: https://app.push.org/#/chat\\n\\n## Where are messages stored?\\n\\nPush Nodes store all messages sent over the network. Any Push Node can expose locally stored messages to the network, which other Push Nodes can connect to and fetch. The nodes can then push these messages to a user\u2019s public address. Each message is stored on IPFS along with its verification proof which allows the frontends to verify that the content of the message indeed originated from the sender and not from anyone else.\\n\\n## Are messages safe, and is the network secure?\\n\\nPGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an encryption method that provides privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP encryption keys are generated for every address on the network. Learn more about P2P encryption here.\\n\\nThe PGP public key is used to encrypt the content sent using asymmetric encryption. This ensures that the encrypted message payload can only be decrypted by the receiver and no other third party can decrypt or see the content of the message.\\n\\nNote: The encryption method used here is future-proof, as other methods can encrypt the keys and adapt to newer cryptography.\\n\\n## Does this apply to notifications? How do notifications fit into all this?\\n\\nChat while an integral part of any application works best when notifications are integrated into it natively. Most of the time, whenever we are chatting either on Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or anywhere else, we usually don\u2019t have the application open. Instead, we reply to a message and then go on doing other activities until the other person replies which we receive as a notification.\\n\\nPush Chat uses this exact web2 UX to ensure that the web3 user finally gets the same experience as that of a web2 user by utilizing the native push notifications capabilities of Push Protocol to send a notification out to the wallet address if the wallet address has approved the request of the sender wallet.\\n\\n## Push Working Towards Decentralization\\n\\nApplications need to protect users and their data and remove censorship. The Push team is privileged to tackle a fundamental problem in the new web (such as the poor user experience and a subliminal communication layer).\\n\\nTo achieve decentralization, the Push team has broken that into two phases, one is content can\u2019t be changed and the other one is content can\u2019t be censored.\\n\\n### 1) Content can\u2019t be changed\\n\\nWith verification proof, the immutability of the content is always ensured (1), read more here:\\n\\n[PIPs/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification at main \xb7 ethereum-push-notification-service/PIPs](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification?source=post_page-----90fdea8d9e8e--------------------------------)\\n\\n### 2) Content can\u2019t be censored\\n\\nThis is achieved by developing Push Nodes that enables anyone to run the node in a permissionless way with PoS to incentivize and penalize behavior. Alpha Push Nodes are scheduled to happen somewhere between Q1 / Q2 of 2023.\\n\\n## Push-ing Real Solutions for Web3\\n\\nYes, the user experience in web3 needs much work, and to be frank, it is likely years out from where it should be. That is why the Push team is focusing on a protocol that tackles the problem from the ground up, a grassroots solution, and a primary reason why web3 is the next iteration of the web \u2014 improving how we interact.\\n\\nWhen a sufficient number of dapps and services in web3 implement Push chat, it enables a new wave of use cases and scales coordination because now messaging and notifications are web-wide and not in isolation to dapps and their users.\\n\\nDapps can use event-driven computation to communicate off-chain or on-chain with one another and enable fully-scaled coordination. Dapps also don\u2019t have to worry about maintaining the underlying infrastructure to push messages which takes the load off developers, and the network guarantees message integrity.\\n\\n### We mean it \u2014 let\u2019s scale communication\\n\\nWe previously described how you could use Push Protocol for various use cases in web3, such as in [governance](https://medium.com/push-protocol/an-introduction-to-push-notification-part-2-2-governance-use-cases-1ea1e0a58ce1). While Push allows for these great capabilities, the truth is that many web3 governance systems lack participation. Many DAOs depend on a few contributors and have a central source of truth, and there is still a disconnect between DeFi and the user. User coordination generates high-value sources of truth. We can see this with the effectiveness of crowdfunding, the pooling of knowledge, funds, and resources, novel voting methods, petitions, and even zero-knowledge primitives. An easily adaptable communication stack and an ambitious outlook are a step in the right direction.\\n\\nImagine a web-wide poll about a major topic that anyone around the world can participate in. The poll is guaranteed to be censorship-resistant and verifiable, all while properly incentivizing those who participated and curated the poll with their resources. This scratches the surface of the coordination capabilities of a web3-native messaging protocol.\\n\\n### Push your dapp\\n\\nYour application and the users of web3 deserve robust communication. Push Chat can help. Here is a summary of its key features:\\n\\n- Push Chat is permissionless: the production-ready version will allow any address on any platform to use their account (address) to chat with any other account across web3. Users aren\u2019t required to sign up anywhere.\\n- Push Chat is forward-compatible: Push Chat can adapt to any changes made to existing platforms or new ones that arise, as the messaging functionality will not rely on the underlying platform the messages are sent and received from.\\n- Push Chat is user-friendly: Push Chat is a friendly and familiar-facing user experience that current users appreciate.\\n- Push Chat is developer-friendly: Using the Push chat SDK, developers can add a messaging layer to their application or service. The message type is JSON, making it easy for developers to consume and interpret. Developers can integrate push chat into the development workflow and improve their CI/CD processes. Test and deployment results can be pushed as messages to user wallets.\\n\\n

What are you working on now?\\n\\nMichael: My blockchain journey started a few years ago. Coming from computer science and game design backgrounds as well as creating various content as a hobby, I saw the tremendous potential Web3 can bring to each of these directions. Kernel from Gitcoin has been my gateway into the decentralized world and taught me a lot about the values of the new web, most importantly about the sense of community and the power of decentralization on an ethical level. I believe whoever wants to start building in Web3 should stop asking what Web3 could do for them and instead ask what they could do for Web3.

Here\u2019s what to expect from the update.
\\n\\nPush Protocol is elated to announce the successful completion of the [security audit of our smart contracts v1.5](https://github.com/ChainSafe/audits/blob/main/EPNS/epns-protocol-11-2022.pdf) with Chainsafe.\\n\\nThe completion of this audit was one of the most significant roadmap items for this year. We couldn\u2019t be happier to share with you all that our version 1.5 of Core and Communicator smart contracts have been successfully audited by Chainsafe.\\n\\nOur [initial plan](https://medium.com/push-protocol/epns-contract-v2-features-e7887fac72a6) was to release Push v2 all at once in 2022. However, we decided to split up the upgrade into v1.5 and v2 in order to ensure adequate time for development, testing, and auditing. The decision allowed us to drive forward with this launch of v1.5 while continuing to build v2\\n\\nVersion 1.5 of Push smart contracts includes imperative functionalities that will provide better features to users and also improve the overall utility of the PUSH token. Below, we recap six of the most critical new functionalities of the Push Core and Communicator smart contracts in v1.5.\\n\\nLet\u2019s dive in!\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## 1) Enhancing the PUSH token utility through channel creation\\n\\nOne of the most significant modifications in v1.5 of the Push smart contract can be found in the channel creation procedure. In v1 of the core contract design, channel creators were required to deposit DAI to launch a channel. In v1.5, the protocol removes the need to deposit DAI. Instead, all channels will now be created using PUSH.\\n\\nAdditionally, v1.5 of Push smart contracts will also deprecate the use of AAVE, which was previously used to deposit DAI tokens and earn interests.\\n\\nAll crucial transactions of core smart contracts like channel creations, channel reactivation or deactivation, and channel details modifications will require PUSH with the launch of v1.5.\\n\\n## 2) Incentivizing the network with the PUSH Protocol Fee Pool\\n\\nVersion 1.5 of Push smart contracts will introduce the concept of Protocol Fee Pool. So, what exactly is a Protocol Fee Pool?\\n\\nThe protocol fee is a small fee amount deducted by the core smart contract for any imperative transaction like channel creation, channel reactivation, channel detail modification, and others.\\n\\nAs of now, the protocol fee is set to be equal to 10 PUSH tokens. This value, however, can be changed by the community later using on-chain governance.\\n\\nNote for Channel Creators:\\n\\nIt must be noted that this is not an additional fee that is charged on top of channel creation fees. Instead, the protocol fee is simply deducted from the same amount that a channel creator chooses to stake in the protocol. For example, if you chose to stake 50 PUSH during channel creation, 10 of those 50 PUSH tokens go into Protocol Fee Pool, while the remaining goes into Channel Pool Funds that are claimable by channel owners anytime they choose to deactivate their channel.\\n\\nThe Protocol Fee Pool is going to play an imperative role in the incentivization mechanism of the core smart contracts, which will allow PUSH holders and users of the protocol to also earn incentives from the protocol in the form of PUSH.\\n\\nSince the incentives will be directly tied to the protocol\u2019s fee pool, this would mean that the more the protocol expands its boundaries, the better the incentives for users that they can claim from the contracts.\\n\\n## 3) Enabling more flexibility and customization with time-bound channels\\n\\nWith this new version of smart contracts, v1.5 will introduce another amazing feature that allows users to create time-bound channels.Time-bound channels are the ones that can be created for a specific duration of time and can easily be removed once the duration is over.\\n\\nDiving a bit deeper into this function: while the underlying channel creation procedure is similar, this feature allows users to pass an additional parameter \u2014 the date of expiry of the channel \u2014 to the already existing channel creation function. This is what indicates that a time-bound channel with a predefined expiration date is to be created. Once the channel\u2019s duration is over, the channel creator can destroy the channel and get the staked tokens back.\\n\\nFinally, the original creator can recreate the channel using the same address after destroying the previous time-bound channel. This was not possible till now with permanent channels.\\n\\n## 4) Allowing for upgrades and adjustments with channel edit features\\n\\nV1.5 brings with it a much-awaited feature: the ability to modify your channel details! Descriptions, logo, information, etc.\\n\\nWhile editing channels is a simple feature, there were a specific set of reasons why this wasn\u2019t made available until v1.5.\\n\\nIdeally, modifying channel details repeatedly is not a behaviour that is encouraged. Editing and modifying channel details could allow a malicious channel owner to update details and confuse subscribers, impersonating important DeFi or governance channels, for example.\\n\\nHowever, since this feature was an important one for the community and users, we included this feature in v1.5 of the smart contracts along with the crucial steps to avoid the above-mentioned scenario.\\n\\n\ud83d\udcb0 Channel Edit Fees \ud83d\udcb0:\\n\\nEditing channel details requires fees to be deposited. This fee shall keep increasing if the channel owner repeatedly updates their channel name, logo, description, etc.\\n\\n\u26a0\ufe0f Warning Sign \u26a0\ufe0f:\\n\\nWhenever a channel owner modifies any specific detail about their channel on the protocol, the channel shall appear with an additional note/warning in the dApp UI. This note will inform the rest of the users as well as subscribers about the channel\u2019s old name or description.\\n\\n## 5) Enabling notifications using The Graph subgraph\\n\\nPush has developed an in-house helper function specifically for The Graph protocol that allows you to read events from the subgraph and define notifications accordingly. Once defined, they will be stored on the Subgraph in a \u201clong string\u201d format.\\n\\nThis function shall simply allow users to pass subGraph data, in the form of bytes, which is basically a combination of the Subgraph ID and Poll Interval. It emits out the event with the msg.sender and the bytes value.\\n\\nThe function shall only be accessible by the activated channels in the protocol.\\n\\n## 6) Including of EIP-1271 in the Push Communicator contract\\n\\nAlright, now that we have talked about quite a few new features in the Push Core smart contracts, it\u2019s time to discuss the Push Communicator smart contract.\\n\\nAlthough the communicator contract doesn\u2019t have a lot of new features in this version, it has one major feature worth discussing. The v1.5 of Push Communicator smart contract implements EIP-1271.\\n\\nWhat is EIP-1271?\\n\\nIn very simpler terms, EIP 1271 provides a standard to verify signatures that come from the account which is a smart contract address instead of an EOA address.\\n\\nWhile externally-owned accounts (EOA) can easily sign messages with their associated private keys, smart contracts can\u2019t do the same (since they don\u2019t have any private keys). However, with the help of the EIP-1271 standard, we have an effective mechanism by which a contract can indicate whether a given signature is valid or not on its behalf. Read more about EIP-1271 [here](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1271).\\n\\nSome of the crucial features of the Push Protocol communicator contract are now carried out off-chain. For example, opting in or opting out of a channel or sending notifications are now fairly easy procedures as all you need to do is sign a message using your EOA.\\n\\nHowever, now with EIP-1271 implementation in the communicator contract, it shall be fairly simple for wallets like Argent wallet, multi-sigs like Gnosis safe, or smart contracts to validate signatures on their behalf and use these features as well.\\n\\nPreparing for the future with Push v1.5\\n\\nA lot of development has gone into reaching this moment with Push v1.5. We\u2019re thrilled by all the support from the community. V1.5 is one of the most important upgrades the protocol has undergone. Updates to channel creation and fees create more nuanced utility for the PUSH token and ecosystem. Time-bound and editable channels deliver much-requested customization to users. The integration with The Graph and EIP-1271 demonstrate Push\u2019s commitment to best-in-class technology standards and partners. We\u2019re thrilled for the Push community to welcome v1.5 soon, while we continue to build out Push v2 and deliver that to the community in the near future!\\n\\nNote:\\n\\nThe Push Core and Communicator smart contracts will be upgraded to version 1.5 by January 2023. All the above-mentioned modifications and new features will come into effect post the upgrade."},{"id":"developer-dao-x-push-enhancing-ux-through-web3-communication-tools","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/developer-dao-x-push-enhancing-ux-through-web3-communication-tools","source":"@site/blog/2022-12-08-developer-dao-push/index.md","title":"Developer DAO x Push \u2014 Enhancing UX Through Web3 Communication Tools","description":"Cover image of Developer DAO x Push \u2014 Enhancing UX Through Web3 Communication Tools","date":"2022-12-08T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"December 8, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Giveaway","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/giveaway"},{"label":"Workshop","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/workshop"},{"label":"Developer","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/developer"}],"readingTime":1.9733333333333334,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"developer-dao-x-push-enhancing-ux-through-web3-communication-tools","title":"Developer DAO x Push \u2014 Enhancing UX Through Web3 Communication Tools","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We are excited to have Developer DAO as a part of the Push ecosystem and look forward to enhancing the community experience via decentralized communication.

\\n\\nIf you\u2019re a Web3 enthusiast who envisions an internet that is free and collectively owned, Developer DAO is the community for you. With over 5000 members from around the world, D_D continues to accelerate its mission of empowering a new wave of Web3 builders through constant innovations and educational efforts.\\n\\nWe are excited to have Developer DAO as a part of the Push ecosystem and look forward to enhancing the community experience via decentralized communication. This is only the start of an amazing journey with D_D!\\n\\n## Developer DAO X Push: What to expect\\n\\nFacilitating a culture of \u201clearning and growing together\u201d is a cornerstone mission of D_D. With this in mind, the importance of streamlined community participation and governance is critical to the community\u2019s success. This is where Push comes in.\\n\\nPush Protocol addresses this user experience problem by providing a communication layer for wallets and dapps. Push allows any dapp, smart contract, backend, protocol, or, in principle, any distributed technology to send communication directly to user wallet addresses in an open and decentralized way. Being an open and permissionless protocol, anyone can create dedicated channels to distribute information directly to user wallets without needing to rely on centralized service providers.\\n\\n### Push x D_D channel soon!\\n\\nBy creating a communication channel for D_D members, Push aims to encourage maximum participation by DAO members. Push will notify:\\n\\n- When there is a new proposal on [Snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/devdao.eth)\\n- 24 hrs before the proposal voting ends\\n- When there is a new Proposal topic created on the [D_D forum](https://forum.developerdao.com/c/proposals/5)\\n- When a Substack newsletter or blog post is live\\n\\nD_D official channel will be live on [Push](https://app.push.org/) on Dec 13th. Members can simply opt-in and stay up-to-date with all the latest updates from Developer DAO.\\n\\nKeep an eye out for all the surprises and exclusive events we have for the D_D community.\\n\\n### Push workshop: Power your Web3 app with Push\\n\\nWe\u2019re pulling together an awesome 1-hour workshop for the D_D community with our founder [Harsh](https://twitter.com/harshrajat) and core dev [Fabio](https://twitter.com/learn4life6).\\n\\nWhether you are just entering the space, an experienced developer, or an indie hacker, we will help you understand our tech and learn how to use Push Protocol to power your web3 app through a hands-on workshop. This includes sending out decentralized notifications and integrating chat functionality for the Web3 applications you\u2019re building.\\n\\n\ud83d\udcc5 Date: December 14th, 2022\\n\\n\ud83d\udd50 Time: 5:00 PM UTC = 10:30 PM IST\\n\\n\ud83c\udfab Register for the event here.\\n\\n\ud83d\udccd Location: [Developer DAO Discord](https://discord.com/invite/qzbGkGNR?event=1044770824135114823)\\n\\n[Doveloper DAO x Push Protocol](https://twitter.com/developer_dao/status/1600576379145306114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1600576379145306114%7Ctwgr%5Eb13769eb1bdf2a6c38faf9ec5ada9c60b0d4dd72%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.embedly.com%2Fwidgets%2Fmedia.html%3Ftype%3Dtext2Fhtmlkey%3Da19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07schema%3Dtwitterurl%3Dhttps3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fdeveloper_dao%2Fstatus%2F1600576379145306114image%3Dhttps3A%2F%2Fi.embed.ly%2F1%2Fimage3Furl3Dhttps253A252F252Fabs.twimg.com252Ferrors252Flogo46x38.png26key3Da19fcc184b9711e1b4764040d3dc5c07)\\n\\n### Surprise giveaway \ud83d\udc40\\n\\nPush will be offering an exclusive surprise to all D_D members\u2014 details of the surprise will be released via the [D_D Discord](https://discord.com/invite/qzbGkGNR?event=1044770824135114823) 1 day before the workshop, so stay tuned.\\n\\nBe sure to join the workshop and drop any questions you might have in the #pushprotocol channel in the D_D Discord (under \u201ctechnical discussion\u201d).\\n\\nSee you at the workshop!"},{"id":"index-coop-stay-updated-about-the-latest-defi-products-with-push","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/index-coop-stay-updated-about-the-latest-defi-products-with-push","source":"@site/blog/2022-12-06-index-coop-latest-defi-product/index.md","title":"Index Coop \u2014 Stay Updated About the Latest DeFi Products With Push","description":"Cover image of Index Coop \u2014 Stay Updated About the Latest DeFi Products With Push","date":"2022-12-06T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"December 6, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Cryptocurrency","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/cryptocurrency"},{"label":"Frensofpush","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/frensofpush"},{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"}],"readingTime":3.006666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"index-coop-stay-updated-about-the-latest-defi-products-with-push","title":"Index Coop \u2014 Stay Updated About the Latest DeFi Products With Push","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"In the third episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we sat down with Brad Morris to talk about the possibilities created by on-chain communication with token holders.","tags":["Web3","Cryptocurrency","Frensofpush","Defi","Push Notification"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Developer DAO x Push \u2014 Enhancing UX Through Web3 Communication Tools","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/developer-dao-x-push-enhancing-ux-through-web3-communication-tools"},"nextItem":{"title":"November Monthly Recap","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/november-monthly-recap"}},"content":"![Cover image of Index Coop \u2014 Stay Updated About the Latest DeFi Products With Push](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n\x3c!--customheaderpoint--\x3e\\n\\n# Frens of Push #3
\\n\\n\u201cFrens of Push\u201d is our weekly content series to spotlight outstanding projects that are building with Push. If you want to be featured, reach out to us and you could be our next Fren in the series.

\\n\\nIndex Coop, the leading on-chain index products provider, has integrated Push to enable a seamless communication channel with its community.\\n\\nThe adoption of DeFi has come a long way in the past few years and led to an influx of people who want uninterrupted access to digital assets. Index Coop is working to improve access to these digital assets via index products that democratize the way web3 users access complex crypto strategies. Index Coop works towards this mission by operating as a cooperative community of crypto natives, finance professionals, engineers, and other expert methodologists.\\n\\nBy collaborating with Push, Index Coop has created a direct communication channel to notify their community about important product announcements and updates.\\n\\nIn the third episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we sat down with [Brad Morris](https://twitter.com/bradwmorris) to talk about the possibilities created by on-chain communication with token holders.\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Tell us about Indexcoop \u2014 what problem does Index Coop solve?\\n\\nBrad: Accessing DeFi is difficult. At the Coop, we tokenize sophisticated DeFi strategies while maintaining decentralization and empowering individuals to enter the world of DeFi. Traditionally, we might be recognized as a provider of Index products, enabling diversification across multiple crypto assets.\\n\\nMeet Our Upcoming Products\\n\\n## How do people use Index Coop?\\n\\nBrad: Pending compliance with all local jurisdictions and regulations, people can access Index Coop products directly through popular dApps and exchanges like Uniswap and Sushi. We\u2019re also listed through Coinbase and the amazing Argent wallet.\\n\\nOr directly through our own website app: https://app.indexcoop.com/\\n\\nIf anyone has more questions, they can jump into our [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/indexcoop) and meet with our community and community managers.\\n\\n## What\u2019s your future plan for Index Coop?\\n\\nBrad: Directly from: https://indexcoop.com/blog/index-coop-the-next-chapter\\n\\nSince launching over two years ago, the Index Coop has established itself as the leader in on-chain structured products. With over 80% of the market share of on-chain index products, we\u2019ve experienced first-hand the many trends and cycles of DeFi. During this period, our thesis has remained the same: on-chain products are the future and it\u2019s up to us to make sure it includes everyone. To that end, we\u2019ve remained committed to building products that are accessible, secure, and simple to use.\\n\\nAs this industry has grown, the definitions of \u201csimple\u201d and \u201csecure\u201d have become ambiguous. Is DeFi simple when it takes ten steps to complete a transaction or must be monitored daily? Is it secure when promised yields disappear or when pegs falter? The next wave of DeFi will not look like the days of old. Traditional retail buyers and institutional capital will not behave like the degens of the past. Crypto must be held to a higher standard in order to onboard the next wave of users. Veteran DeFi users and traditional buyers alike expect performance. So, we must build for both performances and for sustainability.\\n\\nThe question then becomes: how does our industry deliver on the advancements and efficiencies of the on-chain world while still being simple and safe enough for the average user? Index Coop bridges this gap, allowing anyone to access sophisticated strategies. Our upcoming roadmap of products and enhancements captures the best advantages of DeFi while being secure and easy to use.\\n\\n## How is Index Coop using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nBrad: We plan to leverage the Push communication layer to provide a more seamless communication channel with our community and customer base.\\n\\nFirst, by providing high-level insights, notifications, and updates to our customers on the community on major product and new product updates.\\n\\nWe then intend to evolve our use of Push to provide more nuanced communication to our audience around specific product updates, rebalancing, etc.\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nBrad: We\u2019re only new to the Push ecosystem! But we\u2019ve already received positive feedback from customers who are grateful for the exploration of additional on-chain communication channels.\\n\\n## What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nBrad: Endless! We see these on-chain, wallet-integrated communication channels as playing a huge role in the future of DeFi. For an organization like ours, aggressively product-focused and always looking for ways to innovate and create infrastructure to improve DeFi access for a wider audience, on-chain communication and notifications will be extremely important and helpful.\\n\\n## What haven\u2019t we asked you about that you wish we had?\\n\\nBrad: I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll catch up again soon with some additional updates!\\n\\nWe want to thank [Brad](https://twitter.com/bradwmorris) for speaking with us! We look forward to building with Index and cultivating better communication with their awesome coop. Stay tuned for more exciting developments from both Push and Index Coop!\\n\\n

\\n\\n \u201cFrens of Push\u201d is our weekly content series to spotlight outstanding projects that are building with Push. If you want to be featured, reach out to us and you could be our next Fren in the series.

\\n\\nCryptocurrency Jobs, the leading job board for blockchain jobs, has teamed up with Push to enhance how users are notified and alerted of exciting new Web3 job opportunities!\\n\\nWeb3 has quickly become synonymous with innovation and provided a doorway to the development of many projects with vast potential. Many of these projects are expanding rapidly and looking to hire new talent. This is where Cryptocurrency Jobs enters the picture. By connecting Web3 professionals with leading blockchain-based companies from around the world, Cryptocurrency Jobs is helping bridge the hiring gap in Web3.\\n\\nThrough the collaboration with Push, the platform is bringing new job opportunities and updates to Web3 professionals directly. All this is made possible through decentralized Push notifications that users can opt-in to receive on their devices.\\n\\nIn the second episode of \u201cFrens of Push\u201d, we are in conversation with Daniel \u2014 the founder of Cryptocurrency Jobs, to talk about how Push is enabling a people-centric approach to hiring.\\n\\n## How did you become involved in building the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\n\\nDaniel: Hi, I\u2019m Daniel, the founder of Cryptocurrency Jobs. I began my journey in this space through the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies course on Coursera. Fun fact: it\u2019s taught by the founders of Arbitrum. Falling down the rabbit hole, I wanted to get involved and contribute to the community so I launched Cryptocurrency Jobs in October 2017. Since then, I\u2019ve featured over 10,000 jobs at 1,000+ companies and startups and published 406 newsletter issues. All for free and accessible to all. Since then Cryptocurrency Jobs has become the leading job board for blockchain and cryptocurrency jobs \u2014 entirely independent, bootstrapped, and run by me.\\n\\n## What\u2019s your future plan for Cryptocurrency Jobs?\\n\\nDaniel: Cryptocurrency Jobs recently turned five. As part of the milestone, I announced the newest partner to Cryptocurrency Jobs: Pantera Capital. Since 2013, Pantera Capital has invested in digital assets and blockchain companies. I\u2019m excited to work with the team, support their portfolio companies, and help you find more opportunities to grow in this space. As I continue to build Cryptocurrency Jobs, I remain committed to making this a friendly place for people everywhere. That\u2019s why all content will remain open and accessible to all. There will be no gatekeeping. Everyone is welcome, and you all have a place in crypto.\\n\\n## How is Cryptocurrency Jobs using Push\u2019s Web3 communication layer?\\n\\nDaniel: Since 2021, I have been working with Push Protocol to help them find talented humans for their team. I recently started using Push\u2019s Web3 communication layer to create a decentralized communication channel that allows direct interaction with the Cryptocurrency Jobs community. The Cryptocurrency Jobs channel is live on the Push Protocol platform, and you can subscribe to receive decentralized notifications about new job opportunities, the weekly newsletter, and more.\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push Protocol? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nDaniel: The onboarding and setup process has been seamless. The Push Protocol team are true rock stars. Special shout-out to Jaf and Muktanshu for their help guiding me through the process.

\\n\\n
Using Push Protocol has opened up a new communication channel with my community and helped onboard new users to the crypto space.

\\n\\nWe want to thank Daniel for taking the time to speak with us! We look forward to building Cryptocurrency Jobs and facilitating thousands of Web3 professionals to land their dream jobs.\\n\\nStay tuned for more exciting developments from both Push and Cryptocurrency Jobs!\\n\\n

In this series, we highlight outstanding projects who are building using Push and give them the spotlight. If you\u2019re interested in being featured, reach out to us!

\\n\\nEarnifi, an airdrop aggregator platform designed to find unclaimed airdrops, has integrated Push to make airdrops more accessible to everyone!\\n\\nEver since the advent of DeFi, airdrops have become a popular marketing tool for protocols to incentivize early users. What started as a way to generate awareness about DeFi projects quickly resulted in providing momentum to the overall adoption of DeFi. The space, however, is now flooded with thousands of projects, leading to missed opportunities for claiming these airdrops. This is where Earnifi comes in.\\n\\nBy aggregating all available airdrops and bringing them to a single platform, Earnifi ensures you never miss out on an airdrop again.\\n\\nIn the first segment of \u201cFrens of Push,\u201d we sat down with Earnifi founder Dawson Botsford to talk about how Push is furthering Earnifi\u2019s \u201cmission to find millions.\u201d\\n\\n## How did you become involved in building in the blockchain space? What are you working on now?\\n\\nDawson: I first got into Bitcoin back in 2014, trying to make arbitrage bots. I quickly learned that finance was not enough for me and that smart contracts were the long-term answer to decentralized finance. After working in web2 for the next 5 years, I returned to Ethereum and got obsessed with web 2.5 applications during DeFi Summer.\\n\\nNowadays I run Earnifi, The Airdrop Platform. Earnifi has notified over $1 billion USD since it began in February 2021. Since I\u2019m an indie hacker, I run this alone without other employees.\\n\\nIn addition to my work as the CEO of Earnifi I also hack in TONS of [ETHGlobal](https://medium.com/u/3d1733b8e86a?source=post_page-----9ee5805730f9--------------------------------) hackathons, run the developer podcast [dev3.fm](https://reflect.fm/anchor/dev-3), and publish open-source projects. I am most proud of Essential Eth, a replacement for Ethers.js that is 20x smaller.\\n\\n## How is Earnifi using Push\u2019s web3 communication layer?\\n\\nDawson: Earnifi uses Push daily as a part of the notification engine. Some people want email notifications, but others want mobile notifications, which is where Push comes in. Earnifi has pushed over 100,000 messages via Push!\\n\\n## How to use Earnifi?\\n\\nDawson: If you arrive at Earnifi you can easily paste in any Ethereum or Cosmos address. Earnifi will quickly search you for 2,000 different assets, all within just a few seconds. Many of these assets are worth hundreds of dollars and are airdropped to you because you\u2019re an early adopter. Even Push had a big airdrop when they first launched!\\n\\n## How would you describe your experience using Push Protocol? What benefits have you seen?\\n\\nDawson: Push has been a blast to work with because it enables decentralized notifications. With just a few lines of JavaScript, I\u2019m sending out hundreds of thousands of notifications without ever needing to store information about users.\\n\\n## What cool use cases do you see Push being used for in the future?\\n\\nDawson: Push enables decentralized communication, so seeing the recent announcement of [Push Chat](https://app.push.org/#/chat) gets me super excited! Allowing more decentralized communication means that we can be better informed without needing to trust centralized parties.\\n\\n## What haven\u2019t we asked you about that you wish we had? How is Earnifi giving back?\\n\\nDawson: One thing Earnifi focuses heavily on is contributing to open-source code. You can see on https://earni.fi/oss that Earnifi supports not just revoke.cash but many other projects to bring safety and speed to web3. The world deserves a fast web3, which is why there are several open-source projects Earnifi supports and grows through both code contributions and grants.

\\n\\nOnce again, we thank Dawson for taking the time to speak with us! We look forward to growing alongside Earnifi and helping your protocol deliver meaningful value to the Web3 community.\\n\\nStay tuned for more exciting developments from both Push and Earnifi!\\n\\nIf you\u2019re looking to be featured by Push in one of our upcoming Frens of Push series, reach out to us and let us know!\\n\\n

\\n\\nPush (previously known as EPNS) has grown to become the leading communication layer for all Web3 actors including protocols, dapps, smart contracts, wallets, backend, and users. But, to service such a large ecosystem, there needs to be a streamlined process for improving and developing the ecosystem to meet every actor\u2019s needs. Introducing \u2014 Push Improvement Proposals (PIP).\\n\\nPIP is a new standard for proposing improvements, specs, and standards to the Push ecosystem. The goal of PIPs is to provide a standardized, community-driven improvements, specs, and standards for improving the Push ecosystem. In this way, PIPs is going to become an integral part of how the Push ecosystem grows and evolves to best serve the needs of its users.\\n\\nCurious to know more about what PIPs are, how they\u2019re processed, and why they matter? Read on to find out.\\n\\n## What is a PIP?\\n\\nPIP stands for Push Improvement Proposal. It is a standardized process that enables developers and community members alike to collaborate and make changes to the Push ecosystem. Inspired by the [EIP](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1) (Ethereum Improvement Proposal), PIP is a step towards broadening the scope of community participation in innovating the Push ecosystem.\\n\\nThere are three types of PIPs:\\n\\n1. Standard PIP describes any change that affects most or all Push ecosystem implementations, such as changes in core, interface, networking, or application level standards.\\n2. Meta PIP describes a process surrounding Push or proposes a change to (or an event in) a process. Process PIPs are like Standards Track PIPs but apply to areas other than the Push protocol itself. Examples include procedures, guidelines, changes to the decision-making process, and changes to the tools or environment used in Push development. Any meta-PIP is also considered a Process PIP.\\n3. Informational PIP provides general guidelines or information to the Push community but does not propose a new feature. Informational PIPs do not necessarily represent a Push community consensus or recommendation, so users and implementers are free to ignore Informational PIPs or follow their advice.\\n\\n## Why do PIPs matter?\\n\\nPIPs play a central role in how changes happen and are documented in the Push ecosystem. They are the way for people to propose, debate, and adopt changes. There are [different types of PIPs](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions#type) including core PIPs for low-level protocol changes that affect consensus and improvements in API/RPC as well as PRCs for application standards. For example, [Verification Proof](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification/Verification) or [Identity](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions/Standard/PRC/Notification/Identity) for Notifications is described in PRC to create a standard.\\n\\n## What is the lifecycle of a PIP?\\n\\nJust like passing a new law, the approval process of a PIP involves various stages of discussion, editing, and review. Variations in this process are based on the type of proposal we have at hand and the timeline for discussion which might be set by the editor. In broad terms, all PIPs follow a standard process that includes the following steps:\\n\\n![Lifecycle](./image-1.png)\\n\\n1. Ideation: Any ideas for new changes or development of the Push ecosystem are presented and discussed over the Push\u2019s governance forum or discord. If members find this idea worth pursuing, it is presented as a documented PIP to the larger community of Push developers.\\n2. Drafting: This is the first formal step in proposal development where the authors of a new idea create a technical draft of their vision. To submit a draft, authors should submit a Pull Request (PR) against an issue in the PIPs repository.\\n3. Reviewing: After the preliminary vetting process, a new draft is open for feedback from editors, reviewers, and any interested parties. This stage involves a large-scale audit of a given proposal where authors invite insights on their development plan from the Web3 community.\\n4. Last call: This is the final window for the reviewing stage after which the PIP gets finalized. The editor provides a deadline (typically two weeks), after which a given proposal will not accept any new suggestions. In case any significant changes are needed, the proposal goes back to the reviewing stage.\\n5. Final: After passing the last call stage, a proposal is accepted as a final or implementable standard. The only modifications at this point can be made to correct errata or add non-normative clarifications.\\n\\nIn certain cases, the lifecycle of a PIP can undergo special stages such as:\\n\\nStagnant: Any proposal which remains inactive for a period of 4 months or more in the Draft/Review/Last Call state is considered stale. Such a proposal may be resurrected from this state by Authors or Editors who can move it back to an earlier status. If not resurrected, the proposal stays stagnant forever.\\n\\nWithdrawn: If the authors of a proposal withdraw their submission, it is considered a finality that cannot be retracted. If the same idea is to be pursued at a later stage, it is launched as a new proposal.\\n\\nLiving: This is a special status designated to PIPs which are expected to undergo continued updates. Such proposals never reach a state of finality and remain in an editing loop for their whole lifecycle. An example of such a proposal is PIP-1.\\n\\n## How can builders contribute towards improving Push?\\n\\nThe Push ecosystem is addressing a gap in critical blockchain infrastructure by enabling native communication between protocols, dapps, and wallets. Push is live on Ethereum and Polygon to power real-time uncensorable connectivity for over 100 Web3 apps and service providers.\\n\\nDevelopers can contribute to the Push ecosystem in the capacity of their interest, which includes Push protocol implementations, such as changes in core, interface, networking, or application-level standards. Also, if you\u2019re aligned towards the meta-PIP it opens up a contribution channel for procedures, guidelines, changes to the decision-making process, and changes to the tools or environment used in Push development.\\n\\n![Small PIP](./image-2.webp)\\n\\n## Come contribute to grow the Push ecosystem!\\n\\nIf you\u2019re interested to read more about PIPs, check out the [PIPs Github](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs) repository where you can find additional information, including:\\n\\n- [PIP template for submission](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/blob/main/pip-template.md)\\n- [PIP forum](https://gov.push.org/c/pip/29)\\n- [PIP-1 \u2014 Purpose and Guidelines](https://gov.push.org/c/pip/29)\\n- [Definitions of Types, and categories of PIPs](https://github.com/push-protocol/PIPs/tree/main/definitions)\\n\\nWe invite all members interested in contributing to the future of native communication in Web3 to check out the [Push Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) and [PIP forum](https://gov.push.org/c/pip/29) and come meet the pioneers behind Push.\\n\\nWho knows, you just might be the author of the next chapter of Push and native communication in Web3."},{"id":"push-protocol-allies-with-boba-network-to-enable-decentralized-communication","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-protocol-allies-with-boba-network-to-enable-decentralized-communication","source":"@site/blog/2022-11-04-boba-network-push/index.md","title":"Push Protocol Allies With Boba Network to Enable Decentralized Communication","description":"Cover image of Push Protocol Allies With Boba Network to Enable Decentralized Communication","date":"2022-11-04T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"November 4, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Boba Network","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/boba-network"}],"readingTime":1.3666666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-protocol-allies-with-boba-network-to-enable-decentralized-communication","title":"Push Protocol Allies With Boba Network to Enable Decentralized Communication","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Boba, the Ethereum Layer-2 network joins forces with Push Protocol to achieve direct communication with users of the platform.

\\n\\nBoba, the Ethereum Layer-2 network joins forces with Push Protocol to achieve direct communication with users of the platform. As such, users of Boba Network can receive decentralized push notifications pertaining to asset bridging.\\n\\n## Boba Network: Ethereum Layer2 for the Masses\\n\\nBoba Network is touted to be the people\u2019s layer-2 for Ethereum that prioritizes developers and users. At its core, it is an L2 Ethereum scaling and augmenting solution. It features extensible smart contracts that allow developers to build the next generation of DApps that invoke the web-scale infrastructure. Boba offers community-driven liquidity pools while facilitating fast exits and giving LPs incentivized yield farming opportunities.\\n\\nMoreover, the Boba Network allows faster transactions, hybrid computing, lower gas fees, and Ethereum-level security for users. Users can also seamlessly move digital assets, including NFTs from Ethereum L1 to L2. As such, this novel network can benefit from a decentralized communication channel that allows direct communication with its users to keep them updated about the various activities on the network. This is where the collaboration with Push Protocol comes into play.\\n\\n## What Does the Integration Entail?\\n\\nThrough our integration with Boba Network, we envision the creation of a decentralized communication channel that allows the platform to directly interact with its users. This channel will be housed on the Push platform and users of Boba Network can subscribe to it to receive decentralized push notifications on their devices. They can expect to receive notifications whenever:\\n\\n- Their assets are bridged into the Boba Chain\\n- Governance proposals are up for voting\\n- The results of the voting are declared\\n\\nThis allows users to grab the governance and investment opportunities on Boba Network at the right time. Push has a Chrome extension, a dapp, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re pleased to collaborate with Boba Network on their journey and Stay tuned for more announcements in the coming week!\\n\\n

As we mentioned last month, many initiatives were coming together and this month they made it live!\\n\\n### Push Protocol in Polygon Mainnet\\n\\nOctober started strong with our announcement of Push Protocol deployed in Polygon Mainnet to bring world-class communication infrastructure to the Polygon ecosystem.\\n\\nYou can [read more here](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1575485566065381377?s=20&t=TdVmvodS54VtGSPTMr-Ovw&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email) in case you missed it!\\n\\n### Push Chat (Alpha)\\n\\nA wallet-to-wallet communication protocol! We started development activities some time ago and Push Chat made it Live at the Polygon Connect event in Bogota. Wanna give it a try? Ping us on Discord!

\\n\\n\\n\\n

\\n\\nAnd it doesn\u2019t end there. We are working to launch very soon the Push Chat SDK, which will enable hackers and development teams to implement wallet to wallet communication in your solutions!\\n\\nNow, there are many other things that the dev team have been working on this month:\\n\\n- The new browser extension of PUSH Protocol is now live on Staging & Prod. With this extension now consuming the new SDK for fetching notifications.\\n- The Push Protocol dApp is made it live on Staging and Prod with enhanced UI/UX and better performance\\n- Push Staging environment was migrated to Goerli Network \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd\\n- CAIP implementation is in steady progress\\n- The analytics Dashboard is coming together nicely. The team is working on also integrating Governance key points to make it more complete to everyone.\\n- Our ever-green documentation was improved after all the great feedback provided by hackers during ETH Bogota.\\n\\nAnd last, but not least\u2026 Push Smart Contracts v2 is now in development. More news to come soon!\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## The Push circle of Frens gets bigger \ud83e\udd17\\n\\nAlways exciting to see more projects trusting their Web3 communication on Push Protocol!\\n\\nThis month we started with amazing news of many projects joining us to celebrate Push Protocol coming to Polygon. We announced our partnerships with Lens Protocol, PoolTogether, Qi Dao, Mean Finance, GoodGhosting, MahaDAO, EthSign, Polychain Monsters on Polygon Mainnet.\\n\\nWe also announced our collaboration with BeInCrypto to deliver news directly to readers\u2019 web3 wallets.\\n\\nAnd closer to the end of month we also announced our collaboration with Phuture Finance to notify users about rebalances and index changes over the week.\\n\\nWe love how all our frens help make Push notifications a battle tested use case for the Web3. We are looking forward to start seeing more Push Chat integrations as we make progress.\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Community \ud83c\udfa1\\n\\nThis was a very intense & beautiful month for the Push Team to interact with our community thanks to all the virtual and IRL events that happened this month.\\n\\n1. We received an overwhelming response with 55+ projects building on top of Push at EthGlobal\u2019s ETHOnline2022 Hackathon! Lots and lots of very creative projects by awesome hackers.\\n2. Push Team had the opportunity to participate in in ETHGlobal\u2019s ETHBogota hackathon. Which again gave us the chance to interact IRL with hackers and receive first-hand feedback from them to improve our Protocol. Thanks for that hackers! And congratulations to all EthBogota Hackathon Winners.\\n3. Right after ETHBogota, DevCon came in! And the Push Crew was there ready to mingle with all our old and new frens! We couldn\u2019t have had more fun.\\n\\n![EthBogota](./image-2.jpg)\\n\\nDuring DevCon week the Push Crew also participated in talks, workshops , and panels:\\n\\n1. Harsh talked about Why Communication is a Public Good? during Schelling Point in Bogota.\\n2. Richa joined the Social Media Reimagined panel during Polygon Connect to talk about how to build Forward-Thinking platforms\\n3. Jaf joined ETH Latam Bogota day to talk about Why Communication matters in the Web3?\\n4. Fabio gave a workshop on How to add Web3 Notifications to your project using Push Protocol.\\n\\n

When compared to traditional finance, these investment opportunities were not only easily accessible but also far more profitable. Yield farming on DEXs alone gave investors an average [APR of 20\u201350% with some even going as high as 250%](https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-yield-farms).\\n\\nHowever, there is a caveat here. These opportunities, though profitable, are highly risky. So, average investors looking for steady growth of income with minimum risks, are left out of the DeFi revolution. This is where financial products like index funds could make a huge difference. By bringing together a portfolio of top stocks or bonds in a market, index funds let users benefit from the growth of the market without risk exposure.\\n\\nAs such, Phuture Finance is a DeFi protocol that is bringing index funds to the DeFi realm to cater to every day, risk-averse investors. And we at Push are thrilled to announce our strategic partnership with Phuture Finance.\\n\\n## How Phuture Integrates Push\\n\\nAs a crypto index platform, Phuture is designed to simplify investments through themed index funds. For instance, with its product Phuture DeFi Index (PDI), the platform brings together top DeFi assets (by market cap) on Ethereum. This allows users to capitalize on the overall growth of DeFi while minimizing the risks that come with each of these products individually. Along with PDI, the platform plans to build a whole host of other indexes that let users capitalize on various DeFi trends.\\n\\nNow, on a platform like Phuture where users invest in a financial product, they regularly check for updates on their investment. But Phuture Finance through its partnership with Push aims to directly deliver these updates to users. This not only improves the user experience on the platform but also allows users to take the required action on time.\\n\\nTo receive these updates, users of Phuture can simply subscribe to its channel on the Push platform. By doing so, they receive notifications whenever:\\n\\n- An index they\u2019ve invested in has been rebalanced\\n- An index they\u2019ve invested in does +x% in a week\\n In the near future, we expect to integrate more use cases, bringing updates on all events to the Phuture platform. The best part is that users can receive these notifications on any device of their choosing. And these decentralized push notifications allow users to stay on top of their investments at all times.\\n\\nAs Phuture works towards making DeFi more accessible with index funds, we\u2019re enthralled to partner with them and hope to continue this alliance into the future.\\n\\n

\\n\\nThe metaverse without communication is counter-intuitive. Users are disconnected when connecting to digital assets and worlds; Push Protocol aims to change that. With the current web3 experience, it is not practical to expect meaningful and valuable interactions without a robust communication method.\\n\\n## Recalling the Metaverse: A Participatory Digital Society\\n\\nThe metaverse is an ambiguous idea and does not necessarily have to depend on a blockchain to exist. However, metaverse-based projects that use blockchain as their underlying infrastructure lack a means for communication. This necessary component is needed to deliver the intended socio-economic potential of the metaverse.\\n\\nThe metaverse can be interpreted in many ways and analyzed through different disciplines. Still, in general, the metaverse attempts to redefine how we interact and transact with one another through a participatory digital society. The metaverse requires a novel communication method that allows us to become active participants in the said digital society.\\n\\nThe two key things we mentioned here:\\n\\n- The socio-economic potential of the metaverse requires a means of communication.\\n- Communication within the metaverse allows us to become participants in a digital society.\\n\\n## Meta-communication in the Metaverse\\n\\nPush Protocol is ready for meta-communication. As a universal and chain-agnostic protocol, Push can be used as the communication mechanism to send messages and real-time updates about activity in the metaverse. Digital entities within the metaverse can cross-communicate with one another. Creators can benefit from the frictionless experience of Push by forming direct communication channels with their audiences. Users can schedule actions in the metaverse based on automatic updates fostered through Push. Becoming the native communication layer means that Push protocol taps into multiple platforms, implementing meta-communication across the metaverse and web3.\\n\\nA project that recently integrated Push into their metaverse tech stack was [Decentraland](https://medium.com/u/98348dd48afe?source=post_page-----7efbda6d9b80--------------------------------), a virtual destination for digital assets. Decentraland contains a DAO that drives the direction of the virtual land. Users can propose all sorts of additions and improvements through the DAO. For instance, a user may want to add an example of the Eiffel tower at a specific location on the virtual land. The challenge is that other users must constantly check the latest proposals and continuously engage with the platform to raise their opinion and vote. With Push Protocol, the DAO can trigger a notification that broadcasts to all subscribed users through a dedicated Decentraland DAO communication channel about the Eiffel tower proposal. The image below illustrates this scenario:\\n\\n![Decentraland](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nConsider another example, this time based on managing your digital assets. You\u2019ve listed an NFT for trade in a metaverse marketplace and aren\u2019t aware of the offers being made. Nor are you aware of the general market or anything beyond what you already know about your potential trade. With push notifications, the marketplace can send you a message each time certain activities occur on-chain, such as another user bidding on your NFT.\\n\\n## How Can We Push NFTs?\\n\\nMany of us have been to web3-based events and received an NFT for attending or participating. Imagine you have just attended a speculator workshop about one of your favorite crypto projects and received an NFT for being a participant. You\u2019re excited to look back at the NFT the next time you open your wallet as a way to connect with your cool experience.\\n\\n## Engage with Users\\n\\nBut, it usually stops there. The NFT is lonely and picking up digital dust, staying static at your address. Imagine the NFTs could talk to each other. Based on specific data queries on addresses that hold NFTs as part of the same collection, users can push messages to each other\u2019s wallets. NFTs can also notify users about how other NFTs are being used.\\n\\nAnd we can consider the other perspective with the NFT provider(s): wouldn\u2019t it be great to have a method of communication to keep in touch with participants, community members, and contributors instead of closing the doors on each other after they\u2019ve left your event? Your team just ran an excellent crypto event and managed to give out more than 200 NFTs to participants. While you\u2019re stoked about the successful event you ran, you know that after the participants mint their NFTs, they will sit in their wallets, gathering dust, and the interactions between you and them likely won\u2019t exist. The diagram below shows an example of how Push protocol can communicate with NFT holders and establish a connection as long as they\u2019d like to subscribe.\\n\\n![Engage With Users](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nThe metaverse and the digital assets within the blockchain space have proclaimed a message without being able to message: we need decentralized communication middleware, and Push Protocol offers just that.

\\n\\nWhile we named a few use cases in this article that relate to the metaverse and NFTs, there are plenty more, and we encourage you to start building yourself!\\n\\nBy Danny Salman"},{"id":"beincrypto-collaborates-with-push-to-bring-industry-news-and-high-quality-content-directly-to","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/beincrypto-collaborates-with-push-to-bring-industry-news-and-high-quality-content-directly-to","source":"@site/blog/2022-10-13-beincrypto-push/index.md","title":"BeInCrypto Collaborates With Push to Bring Industry News and High-Quality Content Directly to Readers\u2019 Wallets","description":"Cover image of BeInCrypto Collaborates With Push to Bring Industry News and High-Quality Content Directly to Readers\u2019 Wallets","date":"2022-10-13T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"October 13, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Polygon","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/polygon"}],"readingTime":1.4066666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"beincrypto-collaborates-with-push-to-bring-industry-news-and-high-quality-content-directly-to","title":"BeInCrypto Collaborates With Push to Bring Industry News and High-Quality Content Directly to Readers\u2019 Wallets","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"BeInCrypto, one of the most popular cryptocurrency news websites, strikes a strategic alliance with Push to deliver the daily dose of news directly to readers\u2019 wallets.

Powered by Push Protocol.
\\n\\nToday, we\u2019re excited to announce the next evolution in Push Protocol: Push Chat!\\n\\nPush Chat is a wallet-to-wallet communication protocol that will accelerate the growth and value of web3 applications and communities alike. We are launching the Push Chat alpha and opening up access to select users across the Push community. To learn how to get access to the alpha, see \u201cPush Chat Alpha Access\u201d below.\\n\\n## The TL;DR about Push Chat\\n\\nThe Push Chat alpha allows anyone with a wallet or an ENS to chat with others directly through the Push Chat application ([app.push.org](http://app.push.org/)). Text, GIFs, and images are supported in the alpha. With a couple of web3 steps added in, Push Chat operates just like a typical messaging application \u2014 just web3-native. Features to be added down the road include video, group chat, payments, transfers, live chat, and more.\\n\\nPolygon Wallet is a launch partner for Push Chat, setting the stage for the intra-wallet chat that allows users to stay entirely within their wallets to communicate instead of jumping in between applications.\\n\\n## Push Chat Alpha Access\\n\\nStarting today, October 10, access to the Push Chat alpha is available to the following individuals. (If you\u2019re not part of these groups, don\u2019t sweat! We\u2019ll be rolling out more alpha access to the communities in the weeks to come, and the full public launch isn\u2019t too far behind \ud83d\ude42).\\n\\n- ETH Bogota Hackers. If you were a developer who hacked with Push Protocol during ETH Bogota this year, come try out the alpha! More information is in the Push Discord.\\n- Alpha POAP Holders. If you have a POAP from the Push team handed out in Bogota, you can access the alpha. Come find the Push team at Devcon (Push has a booth on Day 3 & 4 of Devcon!) and other events in Bogota and ask for a POAP.\\n\\nIf you are part of the Push Chat alpha, your feedback will be important to the success of the app when it goes public. [Join our Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) and leave your thoughts and feedback in the #push-chat-alpha channel.\\n\\nIf you don\u2019t join the Push Chat alpha \u2014 no worries! The public app will be available soon \u2014 stay tuned.\\n\\n## From Notifications to Chat (and Beyond): The Push Journey\\n\\nIn 2020, we launched as Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS) to bring to market a clear and valuable product: push notifications on Ethereum. Push notifications are a core component of the daily user experience in web2. Much of our daily interaction with apps, services, and one another is prompted with push notifications. Since launching on mainnet in early 2022, Push Protocol has powered over 18 million notifications across 100 channels to nearly 60k subscribers.\\n\\nThe next frontier, we knew, was another core component of the daily user experience in web2: messaging. Even more than push notifications, global peer-to-peer digital communication has become a cornerstone of our society. Our reliance on web2 chat applications, however, has a long history of privacy concerns, data exploitation, censorship, human rights concerns, and poor user experience.\\n\\nWe knew that messaging would eventually find its home in web3 not as a feature, but as a fundamental building block for decentralized infrastructure. We started working to bring the lessons and the success from building push notifications into the next primitive of blockchain applications: chat.\\n\\n## Push Protocol: A Rebrand for the Future\\n\\nBefore we could launch Push Chat, we had to deal with the fact that much of our market branding to date has focused on push notifications. Not just that, but push notifications on Ethereum. If we wished to move beyond push notifications to include chat, we also knew that chat would need to be available to any web3 user, no matter which blockchain their app operated on.\\n\\nSo, in September 2022, EPNS [announced its rebrand](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1574771582790406144) to Push Protocol! Push is the multi-chain communication platform of web3. It powers any type of communication on any decentralized network, helping to better connect apps, services, developers, and users. And our rebrand wasn\u2019t just for kicks. Two days after the rebrand, we announced that Push Protocol was [live on Polygon\u2019s mainnet](https://twitter.com/pushprotocol/status/1575485566065381377), capable of powering notifications for the thousands of apps and hundreds of thousands of active users.\\n\\nWith new branding that nods to our roots, we are pushing forward the future of web3 with robust, decentralized, and user-friendly communication for all.\\n\\n## The Vision for Push Chat\\n\\nCrypto has been on \u201csingle player mode.\u201d By that, we mean that interaction has largely been single-direction. Apps communicate through monolithic communication methods. When communities do come together to talk to one another, they are forced to do so outside of the technology stack they are so passionate about.\\n\\nAnd yet\u2026the crypto market has seen unparalleled growth, driven by the sheer devotion that users have to the technology and their willingness to put up with an imperfect user experience. What if we unlock \u201cmultiplayer\u201d mode in web3, and enable all the players of today\u2019s and tomorrow\u2019s ecosystem to communicate with each other directly with the technology they\u2019re building? The growth that will spark is parabolic.\\n\\nExpressive, \u201cmulti-player,\u201d web3-native experiences have been missing. When we bring chat and communication into the web3 stack, we begin to unlock composability and capabilities that have been impossible today unless web2 chat platforms have elected to build web3-compatible features.\\n\\nThe opportunity of Push Chat for developers will be to build better communication systems embedded into users\u2019 everyday applications. Chatbots to automate communication and customer support. DAO communications to members and amongst members; including governance discussions. Wallet developers in particular have blank space to start integrating communication directly into user wallets, unlocking an entirely new paradigm for the way in which we use our wallets on a daily basis.\\n\\nBut, we don\u2019t believe chat is just a feature. It is a core piece of the infrastructure of the decentralized internet, enabling any person, service, or app to communicate with others without barriers or borders. Our vision is for Push Chat to power every form of communication that occurs on the new internet that is being built. It\u2019s a lofty vision, but one we\u2019re excited to build with our community.\\n\\n## Looking Ahead\\n\\nPush Chat is the next evolution in web3-native communication. Push Protocol has spent 2 years building the most widely-adopted push notification service in web3. With Push Chat, we are delivering on our promise to create the most useful, adopted, and user-friendly communication protocol for web3.

\\n\\nPush Protocol has recently launched on Polygon with [Lens](https://medium.com/push-protocol/push-and-lens-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-aaves-lens-85828638e691) being the official launch partner. Today, we are excited to announce, some old, and some new friends are combining forces with Push to grow and strengthen their presence in the Polygon ecosystem.\\n\\nIn today\u2019s post, we are going to explore some of the use cases of these frens supported by Push.\\n\\n## Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Provides Transactional Updates with Push Notifications\\n\\nDeFi has proven itself to be a key pillar of web3 since the start of DeFi Summer. Every day, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people are executing transactions, buying & selling, borrowing & lending, yield farming, and doing all kinds of activities on various dapps. Even though there have been major developments and upgrades on the application level and the smart contract level, UX still remains one of the main friction points. Users need to keep themselves informed about the projects they are trading on via Twitter, Discord, and Telegram. If users forget to check updates for some time, god forbid their loan might be liquidated or their position might be closed out because of some unexpected events that happened when they weren\u2019t checking.\\n\\nThis is where notifications come in handy and why Push is very proud to announce it is bringing the critical notification solution to DeFi dapps on Polygon. Use cases we have established with our partners, such as [QiDao](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x994909594Ef6c80cE8d9C85Ad30AeC696E10f73E) and [Mean Finance](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x2f5ccA6f594118ef54f4157927A323BaA982Fd78) are to remind their users when their loan or collateral is approaching liquidation and other key stats which are critical for users to take urgent actions upon. For educational and fun DeFi projects such as [GoodGhosting](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0xe8381F84a32A4C2B08c328BfF68c0E889a34F255), Push is keeping its users updated on the latest pool and round start dates so users can participate in those pools on time to enjoy the full benefits. For those gamblers in web3 (aren\u2019t we all), Push is alerting users of [Pool Together](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0xdc0964aaacE97CF4E7476B4EEbC924730E524ade) on changes in the prize pool and if they win in any of the four governance-managed prize pools.\\n\\n## Governance Teams Increase Voting Turnout, Powered by Push\\n\\nGovernance is one of the most common use cases for Push notifications. DAOs and the governance team in web3 know the pain of having to constantly remind communities to vote on important issues all too well, only to be blamed afterward if some members did not see any notification in the first place and missed out. To use [MahaDAO](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x64A971F0D01b3555Ac60B9Bd151d5B7A75cf12Fd) as an example, MahaDAO is using push notifications to inform its community when a new governance proposal is made and is ready for voting, so the governance manager never has to worry about turnout again.\\n\\n## Push Notifications Help NFT and Gaming Projects Keep Players on the Hook\\n\\nMuch hope and excitement have been put into web3 gaming and NFT space. Despite the huge influx of funding flowing into the space, UX and the sophistication of gaming design are still very much a work in progress. Smooth onboarding of users, In-depth understanding of players and players\u2019 community will help to accelerate the mass adoption of blockchain-based gaming. Push is working together with leading gaming teams such as [Polychain Monster](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x27F68B2C092DB48928D70EA781F7dE8B844ad07B) to enable direct communications between players and platforms. Players will receive notifications regarding their rewards, game updates, or airdrop of any rare NFTs, keeping them well-informed of the progress they\u2019ve made in the game and players are more likely to stay.\\n\\n## Tooling Offers Smooth User Journey with Push\\n\\nWeb3 is eating up web2, starting with the metamorphosis of various web2 tooling. ETH Sign is a perfect example of evolving from an established web2 tech solution, taking it on-chain to facilitate immutable and verifiable document signing. With Push, [ETH Sign](https://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0x77f319B1d9c43a8B729399f81515166632100744) is able to notify signees at each step of the signing process while making sure comments are seen and checked.\\n\\n## In the Web3 World, We Push Together\\n\\nWhile the use cases listed above provide a good first view of the extensive capabilities of Push notifications, it\u2019s important to remember that new use cases are emerging every day. Using notifications to increase UX, product stickiness, and community engagement is a feat many developers strive for and this trend will continue to drive more demand toward notification services that offer the most smooth, customized, and reliable solutions that stand out in comparison to legacy alternatives.\\n\\nIf you are a developer and want to quickly get your application integrated with Push, don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch on [Discord](https://discord.gg/pushprotocol) or reach us via our social media channels below."},{"id":"push-and-lens-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-aaves-lens","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-and-lens-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-aaves-lens","source":"@site/blog/2022-10-03-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-lens/index.md","title":"Push and Lens: Powering UX with Notifications and Aave\u2019s Lens","description":"Cover image of Push and Lens: Powering UX with Notifications and Aave\u2019s Lens","date":"2022-10-03T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"October 3, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Social Media","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/social-media"},{"label":"Infrastructure","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/infrastructure"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"}],"readingTime":2.6633333333333336,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-and-lens-powering-ux-with-notifications-and-aaves-lens","title":"Push and Lens: Powering UX with Notifications and Aave\u2019s Lens","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We\u2019re excited to announce the first protocol to use Push on the Polygon mainnet: Lens Protocol!

Every day, we see an increased demand for social apps that allow content ownership and free speech.\\n\\n[Lens Protocol](https://lens.xyz/) is the building block of web3 social. It enables the development of decentralized social applications that can be used to create, own, and monetize their content without the risk of censorship. Launched in May 2022 by Aave Companies, Lens Protocol\u2019s tech stack for building decentralized social apps is live on Polygon and is already powering over 100 decentralized social media dapps. Those include: [Lenster](https://lenster.xyz/), a decentralized Twitter; [Lenstube](https://lenstube.xyz/), a decentralized video-sharing, think TikTok and YouTube; [Refract](https://refract.withlens.app/), a decentralized link forum think [Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/), and others. Since its mainnet launch, the Lens API has had almost [3 million](https://twitter.com/lensprotocol/status/1565062620310372353?s=21) transactions, and over 70 thousand Lens profiles have been created.\\n\\nIn the world of social media, apps use notifications to keep us connected to our friends, work, and more. Today, Push is happy to work with Lens Protocol to let you stay on top of what is most important to you in your digital life!\\n\\nWith this collaboration, Push will power web3 notifications in the Lens ecosystem and create the best and most user-centric social experience. In version 1 of the Push integration, Lens can enable notifications to be sent to Lens profiles to better ensure communication and engagement around an event occurring with their profile, such as comments. Users can [opt-in](http://app.push.org/#/channels?channel=0xef6426D522CfE5B7Ae5dB05623aB0Ef78023dBe0) to the channel now, and start receiving notifications soon.\\n\\n## Building the Best Web3 Experience Layer With Lens\\n\\nWe are excited to be working with the Lens team to build out the best web3 native \u201cExperience Layer.\u201d Among those possible notifications, we anticipate building customizable notifications (likes, follow, etc) for Lens profile holders in future versions of this integration. Users have the ability to opt-in and out of the types of notifications they would like to receive and create customized notifications on top of Push that are tailored towards their own needs.\\n\\n\u201cThe Aave Companies is excited to be at the forefront of innovation having Lens Protocol be the first integration on to the Push Protocol,\u201d said Stani Kulechov, Founder of Lens and CEO of the Aave Companies. \u201cCommunication is crucial to social networking and bringing easy-to-use tools for engagement as well as allowing for further notification customization capabilities will make the Web3 experience on Polygon more accessible and user-friendly.\u201d\\n\\nLens is quickly becoming the go-to solution for building web3 social media. By using Push, dapps building on top of Lens are able to target the right users, increase user retention, boost adoption, and increase dapp engagement. All these benefits also translate to better UX. Such a key piece of infrastructure has been lacking in web3, and Push is proud to solve that piece of the puzzle and help better the user experience for the crypto community.\\n\\n\u201cWhile Lens allows users to create their own social graph and get complete control of their data, content, and community, Push Protocol provides a decentralized and chain-agnostic communication bridge for the entire web3 world,\u201d said Harsh Rajat, Founder of Push Protocol.\\n\\nAave\u2019s team built one of the leading DeFi dapps with over [$6.6 billion in TVL](https://defillama.com/protocol/aave). Now, the future of social media is here, and it is decentralized. We\u2019re excited to grow with Lens Protocol innovating web3 social, and looking forward to working with Lens to innovate web3 social and improve the way that blockchain technology can serve society.\\n\\nIn web3 social media, we Push together.\\n\\n

Soon, Push Protocol will announce launch partners to allow users to begin subscribing to live channels, opting to receive notifications when certain on- or off-chain conditions are met.\\n\\n## Polygon & Push\\n\\nPolygon, previously Matic Network, is a suite of layer 2 protocols backed by an ecosystem of next-generation apps. Polygon has a range of products that aim to solve the underlying challenges with traditional blockchain architectures, all while improving the user experience for end-users to support the mass adoption of web3 products and services. Push Protocol\u2019s launch on Polygon will address the lack of communication between apps and users to support the Polygon ecosystem in improving the web3 user experience.\\n\\nMore than 37,000 apps are built on Polygon, offering a tremendous opportunity to create custom communication channels and user-based messages that users, developers, and stakeholders will benefit from. As with other apps, developers can easily add a notification service to their Polygon-based app and enable app-to-wallet communication. Users on Polygon can use wallet-to-wallet communication for just about anything.\\n\\nLately, Polygon has become the go-to platform for web2-based institutions to onboard into web3, such as Meta, Adobe, Stripe, and Starbucks. The new dapps built by these institutions can benefit from the flexible communication offered by Push Protocol, which gives them the ability to have direct control over messages, all while preventing spam. Users expect applications in web3 to provide a similar standard of user experience as they do with the applications they currently use daily. Users interacting with apps on Polygon will have the same user experience they do today when on these platforms by using Push Protocol.\\n\\nSmart contracts on Polygon powered by Push Protocol can include notifications that can reach any wallet, app, mobile app, and plugin. Push\u2019s mainnet launch was in January 2022. Since then, the protocol has powered 17 million notifications on over 100 channels to close to 60,000 subscribers, making it the largest decentralized communication platform in web3.\\n\\n\u201cPush Protocol represents a fundamental communication layer for web3 that is sorely missing. By unlocking instant, direct notifications within the Polygon ecosystem and beyond, Push evolves the services many of us take for granted \u2014 bringing us one step closer to a truly composable and decentralized web.\u201d said Sandeep Nailwal, co-founder of Polygon.

\\n\\n\u201cOur launch on the Polygon mainnet, immediately following our rebrand from EPNS to Push Protocol, is a pivotal moment for our ecosystem. Communication is a critical component for the future of the internet, and Push is rapidly expanding beyond the Ethereum network and beyond push notifications by building the missing piece of web3,\u201d said Harsh Rajat, co-founder of Push Protocol.

\\n\\nThe recent rebrand from EPNS to Push signals two evolutions from the service: the move beyond Ethereum and the move beyond push notifications to all forms of communication. Today\u2019s announcement about Polygon\u2019s integration of Push Protocol is the service\u2019s first move into multi-chain, with more announcements about networks and communication types on the horizon. Let\u2019s push for web3 communication!\\n\\n

The existing channels, notifications, $PUSH token, and app all remain unchanged. Learn more at [push.org](http://www.push.org/).\\n\\nDear EPNS family,\\n\\nToday, we are announcing a significant milestone for the protocol and community: EPNS is rebranding to Push Protocol! The rebranding of EPNS will take effect today. All existing EPNS implementations will remain the same, but the rebranding marks the beginning of the next phase of decentralized communication in web3.\\n\\nThe groundwork for the rebrand from EPNS to Push Protocol was laid a long time ago. This next step marks the beginning of two fundamental evolutions in EPNS\\n\\n1. Moving beyond Ethereum to other L1s and L2s\\n2. Moving beyond push notifications to all forms of communication\\n\\nPush Protocol will continue to evolve by enabling flexible and decentralized middleware that serves as a public good to solve the decentralized communication problem.\\n\\nA communication protocol must be able to adapt to changing environments, constantly meet user needs and communication methods, and facilitate easy upgrades to be considered future-proof. The web3 communication layer of today should not look the same in twenty years, as we will likely change how we communicate and notify each other. Push Protocol is ready for this.\\n\\n## What is (was) EPNS Anyway?\\n\\nEthereum Push Notification Service (EPNS) is a push notification protocol for web3. It enables any dapp or user to send out notifications to an audience that has subscribed to a specific channel (anyone who sends a notification is considered a channel in EPNS). Since the mainnet launch in January 2022, EPNS has powered over 17 million notifications across 100 channels to nearly 60k subscribers.\\n\\nThere are two actors in the original EPNS architecture: publisher and subscriber. As a publisher, you can rely on a transparent, secure, decentralized network of nodes that facilitate peer-to-peer notifications to channels. The network includes an incentivization scheme that rewards those maintaining the network while ensuring notifications are delivered correctly and messages are untampered with. EPNS (now Push Protocol) can also send out messages automatically triggered based on certain on-chain events.\\n\\nAs a subscriber, you should control what channels you subscribe to and know what to expect. The service is user-centric and stands by a user-first philosophy: an easy opt-in mechanism to subscribe to notifications that meet user needs. Not to mention, the protocol scores all messages to protect against spamming.\\n\\n## What is Push Protocol? A Generalizable Communication Solution\\n\\nPush Protocol is the next evolution in communication, built on top of nearly a year of proven mainnet adoption by EPNS. Push Protocol retains all the push notification capability of EPNS, and also lays the groundwork for multi-chain, general-purpose communication.\\n\\nCommunication is everywhere, and Push Protocol can fill the communication gap to get information across the web. To truly meet the original vision of EPNS, that is, being a platform agnostic and flexible protocol, this is a crucial next step to scale the protocol and make it as compatible as possible with all types of technology stacks and solutions.\\n\\nPush Protocol is already integrated with dozens of dapps across the web3 space, each with their own approach to deliver wallet-to-wallet and wallet-to-dapp messaging. As Push is an open communication solution, the protocol will progress with contributors from all platforms.\\n\\n## The Future of Communication: Web3 UX starts with Messaging\\n\\nPush Protocol keeps web3 users and web3 developers engaged with each other, all in real-time. Whether you only use a wallet to manage a few assets, are an active community member for one of your favorite projects, or building a state-of-the-art dapp, you should be able to feel like you are part of a flourishing web3 ecosystem; being able to reach all platforms and not be subject to interact with the new web in isolation.\\n\\nWe are super excited to take on this journey with you and can\u2019t wait for what the future holds!

\\n\\nCommonwealth, the all-in-one platform that lets projects simplify their community management and governance, joins forces with EPNS to enable direct communication with platform users. As such, users of Commonwealth are poised to receive decentralized push notifications pertaining to the governance process. These notifications increase user participation and keep users updated about every step in the governance lifecycle.\\n\\n## Commonwealth: On-chain Governance Simplified\\n\\nCommonwealth is all-in-one governance and community management protocol. On this platform, anyone can create a community, link their governance contracts, and manage their communities with ease. The core functionalities of Discourse, Snapshot, on-chain voting, synchronous chat tools, and network analytics are all available on one platform for users\\n\\nWhether it is community discussions, treasury management, crowdfunding, or decentralized governance, crypto projects can rely on one go-to platform, making the process easy and accessible.\\n\\nAs such, the platform can benefit from a communication medium that keeps users updated about all the steps in the governance and discussion processes, encouraging user participation. This is where EPNS plays a key role.\\n\\n## What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our collaboration with Commonwealth, we envision the creation of a decentralized communication channel that allows the platform to interact directly with its users. This channel will be housed on the EPNS platform and users of Commonwealth can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications. They can expect to receive notifications at every step of the governance process like whenever\\n\\n- New proposals are up for voting\\n- The voting process is about to end\\n- The results of the voting are declared\\n\\nThis allows users to grab the governance opportunities on Commonwealth at the right time. EPNS has a Chrome extension, a dapp, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re pleased to collaborate with Commonwealth on their journey towards bringing communities together for on-chain events and hope to continue the alliance into the future.\\n\\n

\\n\\nEffective decentralized governance requires massive coordination efforts and requires adaptable communication methods. Many on-chain governance systems have low voter turnout, which is a result of many things, one being poor user experience.\\n\\nWhat if you\u2019re a core contributor to the DAO, trusted by the DAO to uphold specific responsibilities and keep the community informed? Updates to the DAO can be transmitted over a communication channel to tell community members about the latest updates and what to look out for directly on their accounts.\\n\\nWeb3 communities must start to limit their dependence on platforms like Discord for their communication and use [EPNS\u2019 communication channels](https://app.epns.io/) to serve information to the community directly.\\n\\nAs a core contributor to a DAO, who the members trust to uphold specific responsibilities, you can keep members informed in real time. Some fallbacks can be implemented, as dapps can immediately notify users of potentially malicious behavior of a core contributor or representative of the DAO based on that individual\u2019s on-chain events. Imagine how many incidents EPNS can prevent with a simple communication channel integration.\\n\\n## A Communication Layer Empowers Decentralized Creativity\\n\\nWe\u2019ve heard it a few times \u2014 web3 needs push notifications; end users and developers need communication and a way to create awareness about important information: EPNS? We hope EPNS can serve as a public good for messaging, but a communication layer for web3 sparks more innovation and solves a significant user experience problem.\\n\\nA creator economy with poor user experience is unsustainable, and creators should not operate in isolation; they should be able to communicate with other creators and build an ecosystem where everyone can push important information directly to the creator\u2019s interface.\\n\\nGovernance in web3 is not meant to operate on Discord, Telegram, Slack, or depend on social channels outside. In many ways, this seems counter-intuitive. Imagine if a project runs an ambassador program but only depends on Discord. The project can integrate EPNS and create program-specific channels for program members to push messages over, like an ambassador communication channel that allows ambassadors to curate communication efforts to end-users and other ambassadors. DAO updates can also benefit, as the EPNS communication layer addresses many coordination issues in generating awareness and supporting end-users.\\n\\n## What Happened Around Me Today?\\n\\nMost of us may be surprised to learn about the amount of new policies (including policy changes) introduced in our governance systems. Beyond news outlets (including journalist activities), the reality of governance systems in the real world is that there isn\u2019t a standard or format for notifying the general public about changes directly from the information source unless citizens manually look for them.\\n\\nStill, governance workers (like politicians) may keep their constituents up-to-date with push notifications via email, SMS, or even social media channels, but this depends on the politician and the medium they choose for communication. The news tends to focus on significant changes, but the risk is that they could be censoring information and likely have a bias. We are establishing a piece of software that addresses these pitfalls.\\n\\nWhat happened in web3? Well, DeFi solutions across web3 continue to integrate with EPNS to alleviate the friction with their end-users and fill the communication gap. An example of this is\\n[Bancor](https://medium.com/u/2bd55d9e5fb5?source=post_page-----1ea1e0a58ce1--------------------------------), which we mentioned in [Part 2.1](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/loan-update-high-utilization-or-low-liquidity-please-check-your-position-fe917fe7c193?postPublishedType=repub).

However, users need to constantly watch the MakerDAO governance portal or depend on social channels to know about new polls and the state of current ones. Imagine there were communication channels to send notifications about polling information directly to users.\\n\\nWith EPNS, MakerDAO generates awareness, encourages participation, and brings the community together.\\n\\nFor example, if the DS-Chief contract in Maker elects a new rule across the protocol, users should know as soon as a rule takes effect. Suppose the rule is up for review and available to vote on.

\\n\\nPart 2 of the An Introduction to Push Notification series will focus on use cases for push notifications in web3, and demonstrate how the web3 communication layer is the missing piece for the next iteration of the web. In this post, we will focus on decentralized finance (DeFi).\\n\\nWhile there are trade-offs to be made, DeFi should not be a step back in financial processes or user experience. The web3 communication layer enables solutions to increase the DeFi experience significantly. Let\u2019s take some time to consider some of the current pitfalls in DeFi.\\n\\nAll financial products come with a degree of uncertainty. In centralized finance, uncertainties exist around safety, security, privacy, data integrity, and trust. However, centralized financial products work well for what they are supposed to do, with the caveat that the financial service provider controls the product and its usage. These products usually have sufficient user experiences with appropriate measures to inform users about essential information.\\n\\nAn example:\\n\\nModern financial systems use server pushes to send different information based on account activity. For instance, if you conduct a transaction from a foreign IP address, your bank\u2019s server may push a notification to you through one (or many) information channels you are subscribed to, informing you about the transaction as a security precaution.\\n\\n![Design](./image-1.png)\\n\\nBy design, decentralized financial products aim to alleviate many uncertainties in centralized finance; users can safely and securely participate in financial services without permission, control their financial data, and don\u2019t have to trust a financial service provider. DeFi products and services are still yet to reach this optimal vision. Yet, even in a world of optimal DeFi applications, the current user experience is uninformative, limits authentic engagement, and is not practical for the average user.\\n\\nToday, DeFi applications and services come with a high degree of uncertainty. DeFi users shouldn\u2019t have to manually check activity constantly or depend on individuals\u2019 efforts to release updates and findings on social channels. As unfortunate as hacks and exploits are, there should also be time-sensitive alerts about suspicious or unusual DeFi events, especially with the emergent nature of DeFi. In general, using EPNS as a communication layer enables:\\n\\n- Wallet-to-wallet and wallet-to-dapp messaging: user-centric messaging, regardless of platform or device, to communicate about the activity that matters most. Users also shouldn\u2019t experience the limitations of account-based communication that exist in the financial world today.\\n- Real-time updates about a range of DeFi primitives, such as price volatility, liquidity supply, state of liquidity pools, LP positions, loan positions, and Epoch farming.\\n\\nAnd more.\\n\\nAn example:\\n\\nTake, for instance, a DeFi asset management tool that manages LP positions in liquidity pools across different dapps. The tool\u2019s purpose is to provide and deploy dynamic LP strategies for various LP pools. The tool monitors specific statistics and transaction data to achieve this. Despite the tool\u2019s helpful service in managing assets and minimizing risk, how does the user know:\\n\\n- which pool their liquidity is in without checking?\\n- the state of the liquidity pools?\\n- if the strategies of the tool change?\\n- how to avoid a certain threshold of risk without constantly engaging with the tool?\\n\\nand so on.\\n\\nAdding EPNS as the messaging protocol to the DeFi asset management tool, wallets can opt-in notifications they find most valuable and cater those notifications to metrics they are most comfortable with, all in a gasless manner.\\n\\n![Structure](./image-2.png)\\n\\nDeFi solutions across web3 continue to integrate with EPNS to alleviate the friction with their end-users and fill the communication gap. An example of this is [Bancor](https://medium.com/u/2bd55d9e5fb5?source=post_page-----fe917fe7c193--------------------------------), a growing EVM-based AMM (automated market maker), recently integrated EPNS and has an EPNS- based communication channel where a variety of messages are pushed to Bancor users, such as updates on liquidity mining, fee changes, and new token listings, to name a few.\\n\\nPush services through push or alert nodes aren\u2019t new, but a chain agnostic solution that is robust, modular, and interoperable is yet to be established. The web3 communication layer allows for universal notifications, no matter the use case or the platform. EPNS encourages universal messaging, so dapps and wallets can talk to each other and notify their users. Without effective communication in place between peers, the goal for mass DeFi adaption is far-fetched. We will continue to explore other use cases for EPNS in the coming articles, stay tuned!\\n\\nBy Danny Salman"},{"id":"reef-chain-integrates-epns-to-enable-seamless-communication-with-users","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/reef-chain-integrates-epns-to-enable-seamless-communication-with-users","source":"@site/blog/2022-09-06-reef-chain-integrates-epns/index.md","title":"Reef Chain Integrates EPNS to Enable Seamless Communication With Users","description":"Cover image of Reef Chain Integrates EPNS to Enable Seamless Communication With Users","date":"2022-09-06T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"September 6, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"}],"readingTime":1.47,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"reef-chain-integrates-epns-to-enable-seamless-communication-with-users","title":"Reef Chain Integrates EPNS to Enable Seamless Communication With Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"Reef Chain is a fast, scalable, efficient, and affordable Layer-1 network that aims to integrate all the best aspects of popular blockchains into one platform to offer a world-class experience to users and developers.

\\n\\nReef Chain is a fast, scalable, efficient, and affordable Layer-1 network that aims to integrate all the best aspects of popular blockchains into one platform to offer a world-class experience to users and developers. It is designed to power the next generation of DeFi, NFT, GameFi, and metaverse projects.\\n\\nThe high scalability, instantaneous transactions, and low gas fees are enabled by the novel nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS) consensus that evades wasteful mining. Reef Chain is EVM-compatible and allows developers to easily integrate their existing dapps and protocols without changing the base code.\\n\\nThis novel blockchain network also supports wrapped ERC-20 tokens, allowing users to transfer liquidity and take advantage of its speed, affordability, and efficiency. The chain is self-upgradable and completely evades the need for hard forks.\\n\\nAs such, this next-generation blockchain can benefit from a decentralized communication mechanism that allows the network to directly communicate with its users. And, we at EPNS are proud to announce our strategic collaboration with [Reef](https://medium.com/u/4f1649b3658b?source=post_page-----f5e80bb632ff--------------------------------).\\n\\n## How Reef Chain Integrates EPNS\\n\\nThis collaboration between EPNS and Reef Chain will allow the network to directly communicate and deliver platform updates to users through decentralized push notifications. These timely push notifications will allow users to take required action and grab various opportunities on the network with ease. It also reduces their dependency on centralized communication platforms and saves them the hassle of manually checking for updates. The best part is that users can receive these push notifications on any device of their choice.\\n\\nIn the first stage of this integration, users are poised to receive notifications whenever their assets are successfully bridged from the mainnet. Later on, we expect to deliver push notifications for various other activities on the chain including governance updates, and loan liquidation alerts.\\n\\nWe are enthralled by the possibilities of this association with Reef Chain and hope to continue the alliance into the future.\\n\\n

\\n\\nIn [Part 1.1](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications-4b591a68f803), we introduced modern push technology, which consists of these primary components: an app publisher who publishes information by notifications, a client who is the receiver of notifications based on a subscription, and the push notification provider who acts as middleware between these two actors.\\n\\nMiddleware is software that acts as an intermediary between two applications or services. Middleware also provides services that are not present in the operating system. The push notification service provider is an example of this, known as an operating system push notification service (OSPNS). For instance, the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) lives on iPhone devices as an OSPNS middleware software.\\n\\n## Taking the Push Notification Provider Away From the Notifications\\n\\nWeb3 moves away from the traditional client-server model and alleviates today\u2019s power concentration over the control and truth of information and data. Web3 attempts to take service providers away from services, where middleware becomes trustless software (but can still be trustful) that offers security guarantees and robust communication through decentralization. Web3 also attempts to reconfigure how we monetize things in society and redirect incentives to where they should go, users, participants, communities, and those generating value.\\n\\nAddressing the limitations of push technology while utilizing its features in the next iteration of the web requires an OSPNS-like piece of middleware. There needs to be a similar layer of abstraction and push technology primitives that allow notifications to create a web3-based OSPNS.\\n\\n## Enter Web3 Push Notifications\\n\\n[The Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS)](https://epns.io/): a decentralized OSPNS for push notifications; the open communication layer for web3.\\n\\n![Project Stacks](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nEPNS addresses the user experience problem in web3 by providing push notifications for wallets and dapps. EPNS allows any dapp, smart contract, backend, protocol, or, in principle, any distributed technology to send communication directly to user wallet addresses in an open, feeless, and platform-agnostic way. Being an open and permissionless protocol, anyone can create dedicated channels to distribute information directly to user wallets without needing to rely on centralized service providers. The protocol serves many communication primitives beyond simple push notifications, such as peer-to-peer chatting, communication channel creation, and on-chain governance. In addition, EPNS addresses information and content censorship as the protocol allows users and applications to control the content they\u2019d like to push.\\n\\nWeb3 users:\\n\\n- don\u2019t need to trust or rely on a centralized OSPNS for information.\\n- don\u2019t need to interact with applications unnecessarily and manually stay on stand-by for any activities they would like.\\n- can opt-in to information and alerts they find useful.\\n- can communicate with other accounts instead of operating in isolation.\\n- can automate messages that users and dapps care about.\\n- can expect a much better onboarding experience.\\n\\nEPNS enables open and direct peer-to-peer communication through an incentivization scheme without compromising communication or anonymity. Instead of app-to-client messaging, EPNS allows for wallet-to-wallet or service-to-wallet messaging both for on and off-chain events. As a result, end users have end-to-end visibility of transactions and on-chain events to generate awareness while increasing trust.\\n\\nFor example:\\n\\nGovernance mechanisms in web3 often lack good user experience as users must constantly check on and off-chain activity for recent updates and proposals. Or, users depend on the news efforts from individuals on the latest governance activity.\\n\\nIf, for instance, a user wants to keep informed and engaged with Uniswap\u2019s governance proposals, they have the overhead of constant engagement to not miss out on any activity.\\n\\nWith EPNS, that changes.

\\n\\nIntegrating EPNS with Uniswap allows users to receive notifications directly to their wallets whenever a new governance proposal is submitted, such as the recent governance proposal to [create the Uniswap Foundation](https://app.uniswap.org/#/vote/2/24?chain=mainnet), allowing users to stay up-to-date and never miss a vote.\\n\\n![Project](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nThis is what EPNS had the pleasure of doing in early 2021 \u2014 integrating with Uniswap to accelerate DeFi and the web3 experience. Learn more about the collaboration in [this blog post](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/accelerating-defi-with-epns-f2cbfaa33c91).\\n\\nThe information required to notify users about different web3 events is complex and requires massive infrastructure efforts, which is another reason EPNS started. EPNS is also a demonstration of how to scale services and implement solutions in a modular way, as developers can easily build dapps with EPNS. Before diving into the communication layer itself, including how communication channels and messaging work with EPNS, how the publish/subscribe model fits into web3, and understanding EPNS under the hood, we will attempt to make the case by using web3 push notifications for different use cases and the need for a web3 communication layer in Part 2.\\n\\nBy Danny Salman"},{"id":"epns-monthly-blocks-august","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-monthly-blocks-august","source":"@site/blog/2022-09-05-epns-monthly-blocks-august/index.md","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","description":"Cover image of EPNS Monthly Blocks","date":"2022-09-05T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"September 5, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"}],"readingTime":2.6233333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-monthly-blocks-august","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"This August was definitely a wild ride and we couldn\u2019t have had more fun.\ud83c\udfa2 Let\u2019s take a look at all the happenings this month!","tags":["Newsletter","Epnsproject","Blockchain","Ethereum"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"\u2018My Dapp\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/my-dapp-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications"},"nextItem":{"title":"\u2018My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications"}},"content":"![Cover image of EPNS Monthly Blocks](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n\x3c!--customheaderpoint--\x3e\\n\\n# August 2022

New features, improvements & optimizations, and lots of progress on all fronts.\\n\\nOne of the biggest news we released this month is the official launch of the SNS Module for Push Delivery Nodes. A decentralized solution for devs to receive web3 communication directly to the platform they are building.\\n\\n![Simple Notification Service](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nWatch the video on how the Simple Notifications Service (SNS) module works.\\n\\nNow, let\u2019s go over the other cool features and optimizations that have been in the works:\\n\\n- Analytics Dashboard backend integration is in progress and soon to go Live!\\n- Delivery Nodes work in progress to enable frictionless delivery of the notification and chat to wallets\\n- Push Node optimization and standardization are in the final stages of QA.\\n- Wallet to Wallet finished UI and UX fine-tuning and now the team is working on integration testing.\\n- The UI of Send Notification page of the EPNS dapp is being enhanced to improve user experience.\\n- Working on Push Improvement through which users can submit proposals in EPNS Protocol!\\n- The EPNS SDKs are moving to monorepo structure and all Developer docs for mono-repo SDK and SNS are being added to the EPNS Docs hub.\\n\\nWe greatly appreciate all the feedback and suggestions received from all buidlers. It has been instrumental in shaping our tooling to ensure implementing solutions on top of EPNS is a breeze!\\n\\nKeep BUIDLing!\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## Collaborations \ud83c\udf8e\\n\\n- Thrilled to announce our collaboration with Socket to enable users to receive a notification once their assets are bridged from one chain to another!\\n- Pine Protocol channel went LIVE! Now users can get notified when their loans are approaching liquidation, or when one of their loans is about to expire.\\n- Li.Fi Protocol channel also made it Live! Users can now opt-in to get notified once their bridge transactions get confirmed!\\n\\n
. . .
\\n\\n## PUSH DAO \ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f\\n\\nAs we are gearing towards the next step in our DAOfication process, lots of pieces need to be orchestrated to ensure we have a solid foundation that allows us to scale and grow as we need.\\n\\nA proposal to implement Fast-tracking of Proposals was approved by the vast majority. This will give the DAO the tools to react faster on proposals that see immediate traction in the discussion forum, allowing them to take quick action on opportunities or react faster in case of unexpected situations.\\n\\n![Fast Tracking Proposals](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nAnother important proposal that was approved this month is the proposal to allocate funds for contributor rewards. This represents a great step forward towards the structuring of the PUSH DAO and the opportunity for members of the community to become active project contributors.\\n\\nNow, progress also comes with adjustments! PIP-10 to change the naming convention of proposals was approved by Push Governance via Fast-Tracking route \u26a1. Now PIP \u2014Push Improvement Proposal \u2014 will be used to describe the technical standards/improvements of the EPNS protocol; and PGIP \u2014 Push Governance Improvement Proposal \u2014 will be used to describe Governance specific proposals.\\n\\nThere was also tons of action with Push Grants! The community has been very active in submitting Grants Proposals, participating during Office hours, and even demoing their projects to the community!\\n\\nPGIP-06: Codemire made it to the voting phase in Snapshot. Other Push Grants currently active are Sporos DAO, Intract, Kontour, DZap, Age of Nakamoto.\\n\\nIt\u2019s truly amazing to see the community getting more engaged and participating in conversations. The quality of the conversations has also been getting to new higher levels, and that tells us we are making strides in the right direction.\\n\\n## Community \ud83c\udfaa\\n\\nA beautiful month with lots of opportunities for our team to get closer to our community!\\n\\n- EPNS Team attended EthLatam & Web3Conf India Conferences.\\n- We participated in CoinDCX\u2019s Unfold 2022 hackathon \u2014 $5000 in PUSH prizes up for grabs!\\n- EPNS is a sponsor at ETHOnline hackathon with $10,000 worth of prizes for hackers building with EPNS!\\n\\nAnd of course, Congratulations! to our Rockstar of EPNS winners of the month: @synsation6, @cryptonewshindi, @butterfliesinsp, @websidyn.\\n\\n![Rockstars](./image-4.webp)\\n\\n![Before You Go](./image-5.webp)\\n\\nMonths like this give us the boost of energy needed to finish the year strong, and get ready for all the great things to come!\\n\\nLet\u2019s keep PUSHing! \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc\\n\\nThe EPNS team"},{"id":"my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications","source":"@site/blog/2022-08-26-app-would-like-to-send-notifications/index.md","title":"\u2018My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","description":"Cover image of \u2018My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","date":"2022-08-26T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 26, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Pn101","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/pn-101"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Technology","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/technology"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"}],"readingTime":3.66,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications","title":"\u2018My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"It is hard to imagine modern mobile devices without push notifications.

\\n\\nIt is hard to imagine modern mobile devices without push notifications. The first push service was launched by Apple in June 2009, the Apple Push Notification Service (APNs). After that, Google followed with a service of their own, Google Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM). Both companies have led efforts to enhance the push notification technology to where it is today.\\n\\nPush notifications are a type of message that can be presented in an alert-based format, such as message alerts, pop-ups, and banners. They serve as a mechanism that informs users about all kinds of information. Today, push notifications have dynamic traits with app components directly built into the notification delivery scheme.\\n\\nBefore the implementation of push notifications, different methods were used to send messages to apps, like maintaining a permanent open TCP/IP connection to a web server to receive real-time notifications (isn\u2019t efficient and not practical for modern devices) and polling, which requires a real-time request to prompt a notification (polling follows the request/response model).\\n\\n## An Overview of Push Notifications\\n\\nMessages allow for the transferability of information over the internet and are integral to communication among networks. In traditional client-server models, there are two types of messages: requests and responses. Push notifications are a type of response message from the server side, known as a server push. The server push requires a network request and is often event-driven, as in, if event \u201cn\u201d happens, trigger a response that pushes message \u201cm\u201d to the client.\\n\\nThe majority of applications provide responses to the user based on the actions they take on the application. For instance, if a user tries to log into a social media account but enters the wrong credentials, the server may prompt a message \u201cser, wrong password, account locked forever.\u201d A notification example that shows asynchronous messaging is a user who has a sports app on their device and receives real-time game updates about professional sports games being played simultaneously.\\n\\n![Notification](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n### An example with Discord\\n\\nTake the case of using Discord to keep up with all of your favorite crypto projects. Assuming you have allowed for notifications (1,2) if someone from the [EPNS Discord](https://discord.gg/YVPB99F9W5) server sends a message to a channel (3), the Discord server informs the push server of the availability of the new message (4). The server uses a unique ID associated with your device to push the new message as a notification (5). The push mechanism is not used when the Discord app is open on your device, as messages are sent directly from Discord\u2019s server to your account. The way your device receives the notification in real-time is by retaining a single connection (like a WLAN connection) whenever you close Discord. This method is used as opposed to each app on your device having its own connection. Note: this is a simplified version of how notifications [can] work on Discord.\\n\\n![Architecture](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nTo receive server pushes, a client must first subscribe to information channels provided by the server. This requires permission on the client side. When subscribed to push notifications, a publisher can push information. This is known as the publish/subscriber model. In general, the publish/subscribe mechanism includes peers who congregate around a topic they are interested in which lives on a central server, and these peers are said to be subscribed to that topic. Whenever new content is available on one of the information channels, the server pushes that information out to the client. Typically, push notifications are pushed to a client app that a user is using from an application server. Server pushes work because of a continuously open connection between a client device or interface, and the push service. A server provided by the operating system developer acts as middleware between the service and the client device by curating the communication with the device. The device registers on the push server with a unique ID to send the right messages to the right device. Thus, push technology can be considered a type of communication protocol with a centralized service provider.\\n\\n## Push Notification Providers\\n\\nPush notification providers allow apps to send notifications to their users. This is where APNs and C2DM would fall under. As an app publisher, the app can easily send messages, and these messages take different forms. A push notification provider gives you a platform on which you can create, schedule, and deliver messages to users and allow apps to compose, target, and execute message campaigns. Today, push notifications are not only a way to provide information, but have become a standard for communication.\\n\\n## Using Push Notifications\\n\\nBeyond the examples we gave, push notifications have a ton of use cases and can certainly enhance application experience, engagement, and general communication. The obvious is that users can obtain information in real-time about [almost] anything. In general, apps can establish direct communication channels that operate in an asynchronous format, engage users with curated content, and drive application traffic, all while ensuring users are up-to-date and informed of future events/changes.\\n\\nOutside of messaging notifications, push notifications are often unfavorable based on their usage for marketing and advertising. The frequency of notifications is also challenging to figure out. In addition, knowledge resources and assets are completely controlled by service providers who have the ability to generate narratives; they are the source of truth for the messages that are pushed.\\n\\n## Next-generation Push Notifications\\n\\nHow do we take push technology to the next level? By taking the service away from the service provider; from client/server to peers. Peers can facilitate messages as they wish. There is more data integrity within the resources that are pushed to peers as the peers are able to control the data.\\n\\nMany networks are already building the next generation of the internet, aka web3. However, the user experience in web3 is still mediocre and lacks the characteristics of seamless interactions and communication as found in the current web model. Along with many yet-to-be components, there is a critical piece missing: notifications. Users using web3 applications are forced to manually keep up-to-date with everything they are interacting with, manually conduct activities on their account, and operate in isolation. Bringing push notifications to web3 not only addresses some of the current pitfalls of push notifications but fundamentally improves the web3 user experience to a level capable of bringing on mass adoption.\\n\\nIn the coming articles, we\u2019ll explore how push notifications fit in web3 and dive into the key concepts mentioned earlier.\\n\\nBy Danny Salman"},{"id":"buid-ling-the-future-of-web3-communication-with-epns-at-eth-online-2022","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/buid-ling-the-future-of-web3-communication-with-epns-at-eth-online-2022","source":"@site/blog/2022-08-26-buid-ling-the-future-of-web3-communication/index.md","title":"BUIDLing the Future of Web3 Communication With EPNS at ETHOnline 2022","description":"Cover image of BUIDLing the Future of Web3 Communication With EPNS at ETHOnline 2022","date":"2022-08-26T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 26, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Hackathons","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/hackathons"},{"label":"Developer","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/developer"},{"label":"Push Notification","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/push-notification"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":2.41,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"buid-ling-the-future-of-web3-communication-with-epns-at-eth-online-2022","title":"BUIDLing the Future of Web3 Communication With EPNS at ETHOnline 2022","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"One of the best things about web3 and hackathons is how unique ideas transform into something tangible and solve web3 challenges and problems.","tags":["Web3","Hackathons","Developer","Push Notification","Blockchain"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"\u2018My App\u2019 Would Like to Send You Push Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/my-app-would-like-to-send-you-push-notifications"},"nextItem":{"title":"Introducing SNS for Push Delivery Nodes \u2014 Quickest Way to Bootstrap Your Wallet, App, or Any Platform to Power Web3 Notifications, Chats & More","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/introducing-sns-for-push-nodes"}},"content":"import { ImageText, VideoContainer } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of BUIDLing the Future of Web3 Communication With EPNS at ETHOnline 2022](./cover-image.png)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n\x3c!--customheaderpoint--\x3e\\n\\n# Get your creative juices flowing and create something new with EPNS at ETHGlobal\u2019s ETHOnline 2022 hackathon.\\n\\n## \ud83c\udfd7 BUILD with EPNS \u2014 Make Web3 Communication Seamless\\n\\nOne of the best things about web3 and hackathons is how unique ideas transform into something tangible and solve web3 challenges and problems.\\n\\nWe\u2019ve had this experience in our previous hackathons, and we take pride in being involved with builders who take some time out and build and code with some intensity to make great products in the web3 ecosystem.\\n\\n![Docusaurus Image](./image-1.jpeg)\\nBuilders at ETHAmsterdam hackathon\\n\\nThe last hackathon at ETHNYC was 38 hours of intense hacking and 22 builders building some amazing web3 protocols on top of EPNS!

They allow any platform (whether centralized or decentralized) to receive communication from Push storage nodes, i.e., the nodes validating and indexing all communications and tying them to your wallet address (and multi-chain identity).\\n\\nAs a developer, you run them on your backend, and they ensure that you can connect your web2 infra to web3 communication, for example, when you want to extend communication a step further to web2 platform users apart from web3 wallet addresses. In essence, they enable:\\n\\n1. Mapping any device token or platform username of web2 that you want to relay to a specific web3 wallet address.\\n2. Utilize those mapping to send alerts to web2 or web2.5 platforms, extending push nodes\' communication outreach to any service running on any solution, whether centralized or decentralized.\\n\\nHere\u2019s an example, crypto wallet mobile apps, crypto wallet browser extensions, Telegram and Discord bots, email alerts, or anything in between.\\n\\n
Listening to Push storage nodes or using their RPC endpoints / SDK is still the best solution for a pure web3 experience. But if you are a developer and want to extend these communications experience and bring it to a centralized platform, then Push delivery nodes are the way to go.
\\n\\nThe delivery node solution is ideal for building the web3 stack (like running your own node). While delivering a node solution on our platform, we realized that there is another mid-solution, albeit a hosted one, that might eliminate most of the developers\u2019 effort and still give them the ability to achieve the desired result, aka Hosted SNS Module.\\n\\n#### Introducing Hosted SNS Module\\n\\n![First image of Introducing SNS for Push Delivery Nodes \u2014 Quickest Way to Bootstrap Your Wallet, App, or Any Platform to Power Web3 Notifications, Chats & More](./image-1.png)\\nHosted SNS Module architecture\\n\\nHosted SNS Module is a mid-level solution that eliminates all the heavy load of running a node or syncing information and gives you webhooks that you implement to start receiving notifications, chats, or any other web3 communication in your software.\\n\\nIt works by writing all the user web3 wallet communication into Amazon SNS as a topic. You, as a developer, only need to subscribe to the topic to start receiving those notifications. This eliminates the majority of infra building on the developer side when they are trying to create a PoC out and ensures instant integration to web3 notifications.\\n\\n
We understand that most developers want an ideal web3 solution from us, which is what the push delivery node will deliver. However, speaking with some of the devs and observing hosted solutions from The Graph and Lens Protocol made it clear that a web2.5 way needs to exist to ease a developer\u2019s burden while enabling web3 infra.
\\n\\n### 3 Steps for Getting Started With Hosted SNS Module\\n\\nIntegrating the SNS module into your code takes less than 10 mins and contains just 3 steps:\\n\\nStep 1: Implement a webhook to listen to AWS SNS. Here\u2019s a boilerplate along with specs to get you npm installed and running: https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sns-boilerplate\\n\\nStep 2: You will need to open an endpoint either at a dedicated IP that listens to SNS or, if you are testing locally, have to expose the public endpoint for which tons of software is available.\\n\\nHint: For testing locally, You can also use [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/download) to expose the public endpoint. Using this with the boilerplate, then the port needs to be 6,000. The ngrok URL can is now the SNS endpoint required in step 3.\\n\\nStep 3: Once you set up this, you need to contact us by either shouting / tagging us on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/YVPB99F9W5) \u2014 SNS channel or reaching out via the [contact form](https://epns.io/#contact). We need this step as the SNS module requires whitelisting.\\n\\nHere\u2019s a time-lapse of how everything works\u2026 see you on the other side \ud83d\ude03\\n\\n![Second image of Introducing SNS for Push Delivery Nodes \u2014 Quickest Way to Bootstrap Your Wallet, App, or Any Platform to Power Web3 Notifications, Chats & More](./image-2.gif)\\nHow the SNS module works behind the scene, powered by EPNS\\n\\n#### Useful links:\\n\\n- EPNS SNS boilerplate specs\\n https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sns-boilerplate\\n- Documentation: https://docs.epns.io/developers/developer-zone/receiving-notifications"},{"id":"fast-tracking-proposals-approved","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/fast-tracking-proposals-approved","source":"@site/blog/2022-08-17-fast-tracking-proposals-approved/index.md","title":"Fast-tracking Proposals, Approved!","description":"Cover image of Fast-tracking Proposals, Approved!","date":"2022-08-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 17, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Dao","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/dao"},{"label":"Governance","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/governance"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Communication","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/communication"}],"readingTime":1.4333333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"fast-tracking-proposals-approved","title":"Fast-tracking Proposals, Approved!","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We are excited to announce that governance proposal PIP-08 \u2014 Fast-tracking of PIPs that get Immediate traction into Snapshot \u2014 was approved via governance voting by a vast majority of 1.2M PUSH in favor.","tags":["Dao","Governance","Web3","Ethereum","Communication"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Introducing SNS for Push Delivery Nodes \u2014 Quickest Way to Bootstrap Your Wallet, App, or Any Platform to Power Web3 Notifications, Chats & More","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/introducing-sns-for-push-nodes"},"nextItem":{"title":"Socket Integrates EPNS to Send Users Important Updates Through Push Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/socket-integrates-epns-to-send-users-important-updates-through-push-notifications"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of Fast-tracking Proposals, Approved!](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nWe are excited to announce that governance proposal PIP-08 \u2014 [Fast-tracking of PIPs that get Immediate traction into Snapshot](https://gov.epns.io/t/fast-tracking-of-pips-that-get-immediate-traction-into-snapshot/688) \u2014 was [approved via governance voting](https://snapshot.org/#/epns.eth/proposal/0x957d3355d4f402bc6f509166726fd4f2823e04af915ee1f52a3d0eb16a22aead) by a vast majority of 1.2M PUSH in favor.\\n\\nApproval of PIPs can now take as low as five days depending on traction from the community and after meeting predefined criteria.

At this stage, the proposal must receive at least 5 likes and be on the forum for at least 5 days.\\n\\nDiscussion Phase \u2014 The PIP number is assigned at this stage, and more community discussion is encouraged. The PIP must receive at least 10 likes and 3 comments and be in this category for at least 5 days.\\n\\nVoting Phase \u2014 The proposal is voted on and passed or rejected. In this final stage, the PIP will be up for voting for 7 days.\\n\\nA PIP takes at least 17 days to pass through this method. And while effective, it might not be efficient enough in some cases where a proposal might receive immediate positive traction from the community.\\n\\nNow that PIP-08 is approved, the process can be significantly expedited once a proposal meets certain criteria, reducing its time for the approval to 5 days.\\n\\n## Here is how a PIP gets passed at full tilt via fast-tracking:\\n\\nStep 1: Post the draft proposal in the Governance Proposals section of the forum.\\n\\nStep 2: The proposal must receive a minimum of 7 likes and 5 comments in favor in the first 48hrs of being added to the forum.\\n\\nStep 3: The proposal will be assigned a PIP number in the discussion forum and be promoted to Snapshot, skipping the discussion phase.\\n\\nStep 4: Promote to Snapshot with immediate vote open for 3 days.\\n\\n### Important considerations to fast-track your proposals\\n\\n1. Fast-track requires a quorum (i.e., 1% of total votes ~ 153k PUSH as of August 17, 2022 )\\n2. Proposals that don\u2019t meet the criteria on any steps will continue the standard flow.\\n3. For the comments on the proposal to be considered, they must be made by users with at least a Basic trust level (Level 1). The questions asked by users with Member trust level (Level 2) and above must be answered to continue with the Fast-track process.

While some offer the utmost decentralization, others are carved out for scalability, and then some are exclusively meant to support NFTs. The growing number of blockchains and their categorization isn\u2019t particularly a bad thing.\\n\\nHowever, blockchains, by design, cannot communicate with or read data from sources outside their own ecosystem. This results in many high-potential but segregated blockchain ecosystems, each having its own isolated set of applications, platforms, and users.\\n\\nAs a solution, we have projects working to address the lack of interoperability to help apps and users transfer data and value across different chains. One project that is leading the charge in interoperability is Socket. And we are thrilled to announce that EPNS is partnering with this innovative project to bring a decentralized push notification service to its users.\\n\\n## Where Does EPNS Fit Into Socket\u2019s Equation?\\n\\nSocket enables blockchain interoperability through its two key components:\\n\\n1. The Socket Liquidity Layer acts as a DEX aggregator and ensures users can easily transfer funds across blockchains as per their speed, fee, and security preferences.\\n\\n2. Socket Data Layer is a messaging layer that smart contracts and, thus, dapps hosted across blockchains can seamlessly interact and share data with each other.\\n\\nWith these two components, Socket offers developers the base infrastructure to build dapps that can operate across multiple chains. This also translates to the fact that users of the dapps using Socket\u2019s infra would be able to easily transfer value across chains. And this is where EPNS comes into the picture.\\n\\nSocket will use EPNS to notify its dapp users whenever bridging between two chains is complete. Further, users will have the option to get notified whenever the gas fees drop so they can execute their cross-chain transactions for the lowest possible fee.\\n\\nIt is a delight for us to be partnering with projects like Socket that are genuinely pushing the bars higher for interoperability standards. While we have kicked off this collaboration with two use cases, we are excited to explore more use cases as the platform develops and new possibilities come into the picture.\\n\\nStay tuned to keep updated on the most recent EPNS partnerships and developments around the decentralized push notification standards!\\n\\n### About Socket\\n\\n[Socket](https://socket.tech/) is an interoperability protocol for secure & efficient data and asset transfers across chains. Socket is not a bridge or a cross-chain app \u2014 it is an infrastructure that allows developers to build these things easily. Developers can use Socket to build apps with interoperability as a core part of app infrastructure.\\n\\n[Website](http://socket.tech/) | [Bungee](http://bungee.exchange/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SocketDotTech) | [Discord](https://t.co/Il4enrA7Lo)"},{"id":"vamos-latam-fam","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/vamos-latam-fam","source":"@site/blog/2022-08-10-vamos-latam-fam/index.md","title":"Vamos Latam Fam \ud83e\uddc9","description":"Cover Image of Vamos Latam Fam \ud83e\uddc9","date":"2022-08-10T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"August 10, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":2.033333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"vamos-latam-fam","title":"Vamos Latam Fam \ud83e\uddc9","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.jpeg","text":"We had a blast with our invitees during Friday PUSH #21 in preparation for ETH Latam \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddf7 \ud83d\udc83.

And we\u2019re certain those who were there and for those who couldn\u2019t be there, let\u2019s deep dive into what we did there.\\n\\n### How web3 changed and evolved over the past years\\n\\nOur first day of EthCC and what better way to kickstart than our very own Co-founder\\nRicha, taking the stage to share her experience in the past few years as to how web3 has changed, evolved and progressed over the years!\\n\\nRight from showcasing how web1 and web2 evolved into web3, to its need and how and what you can do to take advantage of the fact that it\u2019s still early and BUIDL and grow!\\n\\n\\n\\n### The Benzinga Chat\\n\\nAn awesome conversation usually means some great stories, amazing interactions and some truly amazing people.\\n\\nHarsh, our Founder and project lead, had the chance to interact with Reid McCrabb of Benzinga and we guess, profoundness was a lot in store that day.\\n\\nHow many of you agree? Ethereum is definitely the clubhouse of innovation.\\n\\n\\n\\n### Harsh on Why Web3 Communication Matters\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nFrom meetings, to workshops, our calendar looked stacked each and every day.\\n\\nHarsh had a great time delivering his workshop at the EthCC main event on the 21st July, at Maison de la Mutualit\xe9, Bievre, where he spoke about Why Web3 Communication Matters.\\n\\nHe showcased how the communication layer has been one of the missing pieces of Web3 and how EPNS is solving it with our decentralized communication protocol for the space and shared important use cases as well as a demo of how to notify! Followed by the user and developer journey for the folks who\u2019d be interested in building over EPNS.\\n\\n### A t\xeate-\xe0-t\xeate with our good ol\u2019 fren Sam of Journal Du Coin\\n\\nOne of the best things about EthCC was learning so many interesting things happening across Web3, meeting some really exciting people especially French developers and folks who\u2019re building on top of EPNS. And that\u2019s exactly what Harsh resonated in his interaction with the one and only the top French media personality in the blockchain space, Sam, of Journal Du Coin.\\n\\n\\n\\n### EthCC Dataverse Day with IOSG\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd finally on the 25th, Harsh took the stage again with an encore of Why Web3 communication matters, only this time at EthCC Dataverse Day with our partners IOSG Ventures.\\n\\n### Panel Discussion at Dataverse Day\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nAnd then of course, there was this interesting panel discussion, as part of the Dataverse Day, with the partners of that event, in which Harsh spoke at length about EPNS and how we\u2019re trying to be the de facto, native Web3 comm protocol! He was joined by some really focused, and awesome Web3 founders and builders, such as Hongbo, Founder of Debank, Fabian Riewe, Founder of KYVE, Hadrien Charlanes, Founder of Sismo, Marijo Radman, Cofounder of Solity Network\\n\\n### Meeting some Frens Old & New\\n\\n![Meeting some Frens Old & New Image](./image-1.png)\\n\\nAnd last but not least, what\u2019s the future of France without meeting a ton of frens from the web3 space, old and new!"},{"id":"epns-collaborates-with-d-xdao-to-enable-notifications-for-swapr-campaign-updates","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-collaborates-with-d-xdao-to-enable-notifications-for-swapr-campaign-updates","source":"@site/blog/2022-07-26-epns-collaborates-with-d-xdao/index.md","title":"EPNS Collaborates With DXdao to Enable Notifications for Swapr Campaign Updates","description":"Cover Image of EPNS Collaborates With DXdao to Enable Notifications for Swapr Campaign Updates","date":"2022-07-26T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 26, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Dao","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/dao"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":1.69,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-collaborates-with-d-xdao-to-enable-notifications-for-swapr-campaign-updates","title":"EPNS Collaborates With DXdao to Enable Notifications for Swapr Campaign Updates","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.png","text":"The term blockchain technology is almost synonymous with decentralization these days.

This technology made it possible for a network of participants from different parts of the world to collaborate and run the blockchain network on their terms. All without the need for centralized authorities.\\n\\nHowever, the degree of decentralization of blockchain-based protocols is determined not just by their architecture but also by the way in which they are governed and operated. In this regard, DXdao is DeFi\u2019s super scalable collective that personifies decentralization. With an innovative suite of products, this protocol aims to provide decentralized governance solutions for DeFi protocols to help scale the DeFi industry as a whole. On this ambitious journey, we at EPNS are pleased to collaborate with DXdao to enable push notifications for Swapr Campaign updates and uphold the spirit of decentralization.\\n\\n### How DXdao Can Benefit From Push Notifications\\n\\nAs its name suggests, DXdao is a decentralized autonomous organization that is owned and operated by its community of users. It builds solutions for the development, growth, and governance of DeFi products, with a special emphasis on governance. It has an illustrious list of products that provide services ranging from automated market making and predictions to token launching and programmable incentives.\\n\\nDeFi protocols can integrate these products into their own platforms to create super scalable platforms. And, through one of its star products Swapr, DXdao provides a multi-chain AMM with a suite of unique features including LP governance, DIY farming, and much more. However, without the help of a reliable communication channel, it is difficult to keep users up to date with all events and news to maximize their participation in Swapr. This is where DXdao\u2019s integration of EPNS could be game-changing.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our collaboration with DXdao, we aim to build a robust communication channel through which the network can keep its participants updated about all Swapr campaign events. Users can subscribe to the official channel on EPNS to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- A campaign in Swapr is expired\\n- A new campaign is starting\\n\\nAs DXdao continues to revolutionize and fully decentralize the DeFi ecosystem, we are pleased to collaborate with them to ensure the greatest user experience for all participants. We are hopeful that EPNS push notifications will become an integral part of DXdao.\\n\\n### About DXdao\\n\\nDXdao is a decentralized collective that builds and governs DeFi products. DXdao was spawned in May 2019 through a collaboration between Gnosis and DAOstack. Reputation (REP) is voting power in DXdao, and DXD is the financial token with a claim on profit from DXdao products. Some of DXdao\u2019s products include [Omen](https://omen.eth.limo/) (permissionless prediction markets), [Swapr](https://swapr.eth.limo/) (governance-enabled AMM), [Carrot](https://carrot.eth.limo/) (programmable incentives), [Mesa](https://mesa.eth.limo/) (batch auction DEX), DXvote (DAO governance).

To ensure that, as you might know, we had approved Grants for some amazing projects via our [Push Grants Program](https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/10).\\n\\nTo top it all, what could be better than getting amazing participation from builders all around the World at ETH NewYork!\\n\\n## Highlights for the latest Q2 \u2014 2022\\n\\n- Starting with channels, the total number of live channels on EPNS has reached 74, a 45% increase from the previous quarter.\\n- Also, we witnessed ~16% growth in unique users and opt-ins across the platform.\\n- We have delivered over 11 million+ notifications to date, a 175% increase from 4 million notifications that were delivered till Q1 2022.\\n\\nThese were some sneak peeks of what happened in Q2 at EPNS, let\u2019s dive into details of how we achieved these numbers \ud83e\udd88\\n\\n## Development\\n\\nOur awesome team of builders has been hustling with the latest developments. And these updates are successfully echoing the EPNS mission of building decentralized communications.\\n\\nTake a look at the latest Development Updates for Q2!\\n\\n## Smart Contract V2 Development and Audit\\n\\nSmart Contracts V1.5 has now been developed completely. While we are working towards V2 of the contract, we decided to roll it out after V1.5 is launched. Some of the important features of EPNS Core V1.5 are:\\n\\n**Use of $PUSH token for Channel Creation:** EPNS Core Contract shall no longer require DAI tokens for channel creation. Instead, developers can now create Channels with a minimum deposit of 50 $PUSH tokens.\\n\\nClaim Reward Function: V1.5 of the EPNS Core Contract will include a function that allows $PUSH Holders to claim rewards from the contract.\\n\\nTime-Bound Channels: Special Channels that can be created for a specific time duration and will be destroyed upon expiry.\\n\\nSmart Contract V1.5 has already qualified for the initial security audit phase. After the final audit report, V1.5 of the EPNS contracts would be deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet and Testnets like Kovan and Ropsten.\\n\\nA separate blog to provide detailed updates on V1.5 will be published soon.\\n\\n### Editing Channel Details Feature\\n\\nThis feature on the Frontend dapp allows Channels to edit or modify essential details like Logo, Description, and Channel Name. Once Smart Contract V1.5 is deployed on the Mainnet, this feature will be made live on Prod.\\n\\n## EPNS x The Graph Integration\\n\\nEver since launching, The Graph has been one of the key supporters of EPNS. To foster this relationship and our shared values of decentralization, we have announced EPNS Integration with Subgraphs hosted on The Graph Protocol.\\n\\nTo enable this, we have created special tooling for a Helper Function that allows you to read events across the Subgraph and generate Notifications accordingly. If you are a developer and want to:\\n\\n- Track volumes of NFT collections on LooksRare, or\\n- Access the data related to swaps and pairs on Sushiswap, or\\n- Get notified whenever a sale happens on CryptoPunks\\n\\nYou can accomplish all these and a lot more with the latest Subgraph integration. Here is an [example guide](https://docs.epns.io/developers/developer-zone/examples/notification-via-subgraph-example) on sending notifications from Subgraphs.\\n\\n## Polygon Deployment\\n\\nWe have already deployed the EPNS Communicator contract on Polygon Mumbai Testnet as well as Mainnet. Imperative features like sending notifications on Polygon have now been developed, tested, and deployed in the Staging environment.\\n\\nThe UI/UX for the entire channel creation flow, specifically for Polygon, is currently under development and will soon be live on Prod.\\n\\n## Wallet to Wallet Chat\\n\\nWe initiated the building of our Wallet-to-Wallet Protocol: a cross-chain communication protocol that allows wallets to exchange messages between them.\\n\\nWe also started building the UI for the Chat App, which will interact with W2W Protocol. Our Push nodes have been extended to support this amazing new functionality.\\n\\n## Analytics Dashboard\\n\\nFrontend and majority of the APIs for analytics dashboard are ready. Backend for the dashboard is also progressing at a rapid speed. We will roll out the dashboard as soon as the APIs are live.\\n\\n## Some More Updates\\n\\nThere are some other equally significant tasks that we worked upon in this quarter.\\n\\nOur devs extensively worked on standardization of the channel and notification payloads. The architecture for Decentralized Push Nodes is progressing at a rapid speed as well. Browser notifications are live on Dev and Staging environments.\\n\\nAlso, added the Notification Preview feature into the Frontend dApp. We are working on a Mono Repo for Developers, which is in its final stages. Besides, the Ledger integration with EPNS will go live in Q3.\\n\\nChannel notifications settings and advanced search are underway and will be deployed once the crucial updates for Smart Contract goes live.\\n\\n### Collaborations\\n\\nWe are building for the community, and bridging the communication gap between Web3 services and users is our mission. To enable this change, EPNS partnered with 21 amazing new dApps in Q2, a staggering 131% increase from the previous quarter. And when we call it amazing, we truly mean it\\n\\n![Collaborations Image](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nCheck out the list below for yourself \ud83d\udc47\ud83c\udffc\\n\\n- April \u2014 Started the month with a banger by collaborating with [Decentraland](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/push-notifications-for-the-metaverse-epns-partners-with-decentraland-to-build-its-communication-786afb1e481c) in bringing Push Notifications to the Metaverse.

We also have some special token-gated channels for our Rockstars \ud83d\ude09 Meet you there soon frens \ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffc\\n\\n## Hackathons\\n\\nHackathons are an efficient way to bring BUIDLers together and fuel innovation. It also helps us receive genuine product feedback, as well as create brand exposure.\\n\\n![Hackathons Image](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nIn the last three months, we have sponsored four major global hackathons at ETH Amsterdam, HackMoney\u201922, Graph Hack, and ETH New York, and supported 150+ hackers and builders. These events were some awe-inspiring moments where we met amazing teams building with EPNS. Across all these events, over 50 projects integrated EPNS for a combined prize pool worth $16,000.\\n\\nApart from supporting the builders across multiple ecosystems, we also hosted an in-house HackSprint. It was a 2-Day virtual workshop for developers to Learn and Integrate EPNS into their dApps.\\n\\n### Featured\\n\\nApart from achieving a majority of the roadmap goals, our team proudly represented EPNS on the Global stage at numerous events. And to reiterate our narrative of why Web3 communication matters, our co-founder Harsh Rajat delivered a special talk at Schelling Point.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nNot to mention the brilliant workshops hosted in Amsterdam, Graph Hack, and NYC. Here is one such workshop at ETH Amsterdam where Fabio Costa explains [building Web3 communications with EPNS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoIaB_lGayY). Must take a look at them if you missed out.\\n\\nWe are excited about all the cool stuff that\u2019s going to come in the upcoming quarter. Keep supporting EPNS Protocol on our social media & discord server. And above all, keep building Web3 Communications \ud83d\udc9c\\n\\nLet\u2019s keep PUSHing! \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffc\\n\\nRemember: The EPNS Team members will never DM you first, we never ask you to send money, crypto, private key, or any such thing.

As such, Polychain Monsters will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the status of their various activities in the rapidly expanding \u201cPolyverse\u201d.\\n\\n## Polychain Monsters: The Cross-Chain Collectible Ecosystem\\n\\nPolychain Monsters is an NFT project that aims to build a cross-chain digital collectible and gaming experience. At the very core of this project are Polymon, intricately designed and animated NFTs which can be unpacked in digital booster packs using $PMON tokens. These booster packs are available on the Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon networks, in addition to a one-off 10k Solana drop featuring Polychain Monsters\u2019 latest expansion \u2014 Exomon. Each booster pack includes three Polymon, which come in a variety of traits that define their rarity. Some combinations of traits are extremely rare and valuable, and have sold on secondaries for over $100,000.\\n\\nPolymon holders can earn weekly rewards by staking their NFTs or participating in yield farming using $PMON tokens. These Polymon will eventually play a crucial part in multiple play-and-earn games that are currently being developed within the Polychain ecosystem. As such, this project can significantly benefit from a decentralized communication channel that updates its users every time a new booster pack is available or when their rewards are deployed. This is where the alliance with EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n## What Does the Collaboration Entail?\\n\\nThe main aim of our collaboration with Polychain Monsters is the creation of a decentralized communication channel that enables direct communication between users and the platform. This channel will be housed on EPNS and users of Polychain Monsters can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications. They can expect to receive notifications whenever:\\n\\n- Their rewards are sent\\n- They pulled a rare Polymon\\n- Other incoming features to be revealed\\n This saves users from manually checking for updates, making the platform easy to use. EPNS has a Chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to strike this alliance with Polychain Monsters and hope to become an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n### About Polychain Monsters\\n\\nPolychain Monsters are beautifully animated cross-chain NFTs with varying scarcity, waiting to be discovered in digital booster packs. These NFTs will play an integral part in upcoming off- and on-chain games. In addition, Polychain Monsters offers DeFi features such as ERC-20 & BEP-20 PMON, as well as NFT staking.\\n\\nStay in touch!

\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nPUSH CALL #19 Video/Audio \u2014 #MeetTheBUIDLers (of ETHNewYork 2022)\\n\\nWe started with Jacob going over everything that entails coordinating these hackathons, and how the organization runs their ceremonies after each event finishes to ensure the next one its even better \u2014 \u201cplan a lot, iterate a ton, and if you do this for a long time you\u2019ll end up with an amazing team passionate for building excellent events\u201d.\\n\\nFunny stories that happen in hackathons to the teams and to the organization were also shared. Including the unknown story of a team called The Crypto Maniacs that built a now super popular DEX aggregator and chose the name of the project solely to be listed first in alphabetically in the projects list \ud83d\ude05. (check our [twitter spaces recording](https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1dRKZlNEAmXJB) if you want to know which project we are talking about!)\\n\\nAfter sharing all these cool stories and whats to come for ETH Global, Harsh took the opportunity to briefly go over the journey for EPNS as a project born in ETH Global\u2019s Hack Money 2020 and all the great things that comes when you participate in a Hackathon.

As such, Wonderverse will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the status of their tasks and other activities.\\n\\n### Bringing Project Management to Web3\\n\\nBusinesses, no matter how small or big, deal with a myriad of tasks, projects, and plans. The smooth running of all these operations requires collaboration among all the people involved in the business. This is precisely why project management tools rose to fame in the last decade. They allow businesses to collaborate on project planning, resource allocation, and performance monitoring. The tools also provide the ability to establish a pyramid of tasks for effective completion.\\n\\nHowever, the popular project management tools of today are centralized and more suited for web2 projects. The decentralized web3 community that is now swarming with innovative projects, needs a decentralized project management tool and Wonderverse fills this gap. It is a web3 project management platform that allows DAOs to manage and track their workflows. From allocating tasks to managing resources and people, Wonderverse is a one-stop-shop for all things DAO management.\\n\\nThe past part is that it integrates crypto into project management, allowing users to pay and get paid in cryptocurrencies. With Wonderverse, web3 projects can do away with web2 project management tools and get the full web3 experience. In this regard, Wonderverse needs a communication medium that coordinates interactions between users and the platform. This is where the collaboration with EPNS is crucial.\\n\\n## What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThe main aim of our collaboration with Wonderverse is the creation of a decentralized communication channel that enables direct communication between users and the platform. This channel will be housed on EPNS and users of Wonderverse can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications.

EPNS has a Chrome extension, a DAPP, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to strike this collaboration with Wonderverse and hope to become an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n## About Wonderverse\\n\\nWonderverse is a DAO native tool that combines critical pieces to manage participation in a DAO. Primarily a project management tool integrated into crypto, it strives to be a one-stop-shop for all things DAO participation.\\n\\nStay in touch!

User data is exploited and used to serve personalized ads to people with all the financial rewards going only to the businesses. Now, Quest3 is a web3 platform that aims to solve this problem and ensures that users are rewarded for their time.\\n\\nAdvertisements on this platform are presented in a gamified manner. Users receive advertisements while actively completing quests and earning rewards. The rewards include crypto tokens and NFT badges that hold real monetary value. This way of serving advertisements to users is beneficial for both businesses and users, allowing all players to benefit from the ordeal.\\n\\nIn this regard, Quest3 needs a communication channel that allows the platform to directly send notifications whenever new quests are available. This is where the collaboration with EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n### What does the Collaboration entail\\n\\nAs a result of the pilot collaboration between EPNS and Quest3, Quest3 will have an official channel on the EPNS platform that its users can subscribe to. In doing so, they will receive decentralized push notifications directly from the platform informing them about various happenings on the platform. Users can expect to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- A new quest starts\\n- A quest is about to end (in X days)\\n- A quest ends\\n This allows the users to take full advantage of the opportunities as and when they arise. EPNS has a chrome extension along with a mobile application and a decentralized application to ensure that users don\u2019t miss out on important notifications.\\n\\nAs Quest3 is working towards an open web infrastructure, we at EPNS are pleased to partner with them and hope to become an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n### About Quest3\\n\\nQuest3 is a Web3 quest and event platform incubated by [Hogwarts Labs](https://twitter.com/HogwartsLabs). Users can earn tokens and NFT badges by participating in quests and events. Quest3 is committed to providing a variety of permissionless on-chain and off-chain quests for GameFi, DAOs, communities and other projects, benefiting users continuously, flourishing the propagation ecosystem and realizing Web3 native value delivery.\\n\\nStay in touch!

More information on EPNS DAPP can be seen [here](https://app.epns.io/#/live_walkthrough).\\n\\nThe community had recently voted on and passed PIP-06: Reimburse channel-creation gas fees in $PUSH on developer request. The results were immensely in favor of the proposal with 1.6M votes FOR and 2.6K votes AGAINST.\\n\\nYou can now request reimbursement of 80% of your gas fee within 24 hours of the channel creation, and your Gas fee will be reimbursed into your wallet in the form of $PUSH tokens. This removes an obstruction for underfunded or hobbyist developers from opening a notification channel.\\n\\nThe process to redeem your gas fees are:\\n\\n- Dev creates a channel\\n- Announces the channel creation on the EPNS discord (use of multiple emojis preferred \ud83d\ude0a )\\n- Let the world know of your channel and tag EPNS on all of your socials when you post(preferably Twitter).\\n- Dev shares relevant details in this [google form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScNQ2_mACRQgyIPsr47woE69_FOds8aLIGupT20QIEUMfgnQw/viewform?usp=sf_link)\\n\\nThe EPNS team will review the form and send devs $PUSH relative to the market price.

As such, Sturdy will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the status of their loans and high-yielding opportunities on the platform.\\n\\n### Bringing Interest-Free Lending to DeFi\\n\\nDeFi\u2019s lending and borrowing protocols played a pivotal role in the industry\u2019s rise, bringing millions into the decentralized realm. However, in the present scenario, borrowers are required to pay heavy interests for their loans along with over-collateralizing for the same. In this regard, Sturdy is the one of the kind of DeFi protocol that facilitates interest free borrowing for users.\\n\\nThe protocol utilizes the borrowers\u2019 collateralized assets in a smart way by staking them with protocols like Yearn, Convex, and Lido. Then, the interest generated by these assets is used to pay interest to the lenders. This means that while borrowers can take advantage of interest-free loans, lenders can still make high yields and profits by lending on Sturdy.\\n\\nWith a truly novel approach to lending and borrowing, Sturdy is poised to bring in a new wave of users into DeFi. As such, the protocol can benefit from a decentralized communication channel that allows seamless interaction with its users. This is where the collaboration with EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThe collaboration between EPNS and Sturdy aims to create a direct communication channel between the users and the protocol for seamless interaction. This channel is housed on the EPNS platform where users of Sturdy can easily subscribe to it. Subscribers will receive decentralized push notifications from the platform whenever\\n\\n- Their loans approach liquidation\\n- There are high APY opportunities available on the platform\\n This allows users to take prompt action and grab the opportunities on time. Moreover, these notifications also save users from the hassle of manually checking for all these updates and improves the user experience on the platform along with the participation rates. EPNS has a chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application to ensure users never miss out on these notifications.\\n\\nWe at EPNS are excited to dive into this alliance with Sturdy and hope to contribute to the growth of the platform.\\n\\n### About Sturdy\\n\\nSturdy is a first of its kind of DeFi lending protocol offering interest-free borrowing and high yield lending. Users can interact with the protocol in two ways: as \u2018borrowers\u2019 who take out loans and provide collateral or as \u2018lenders\u2019 who earn yield on their assets.\\n\\nBorrowers pay no interest, withdrawal fees, or deposit fees. Instead, their collateral is staked, and the yield from their staked collateral is used to provide interest to lenders. Lenders benefit from interest rates that are higher and more consistent than a money market where borrowers pay a variable APY.\\n\\nTo ensure that you don\u2019t miss out on the latest developments, stay connected with Sturdy on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/SturdyFinance), [Medium](https://sturdyfinance.medium.com/), and [Discord](https://discord.gg/tRVHp6Vx5N)."},{"id":"epns-monthly-blocks","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-monthly-blocks","source":"@site/blog/2022-07-05-epns-monthly-blocks/index.md","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","description":"Cover image of EPNS Monthly Blocks","date":"2022-07-05T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"July 5, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/notifications"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"}],"readingTime":2.7466666666666666,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-monthly-blocks","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We made it to a wonderful end of Q2!

As such, Pine will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the status of their loans on the platform.\\n\\n### NFT Backed Lending\\n\\nPine is a decentralized lending and borrowing protocol in DeFi that allows users to borrow funds against their NFTs. Now, the NFT industry is one of the fastest-growing and most valuable in the world, with a market value of more than $40 billion. In the beginning, digital artists sold individual pieces of art as NFTs. And now, it\u2019s a field with thousands of projects that could change the way the world\u2019s biggest industries work. With an increase in utility, the net value of this asset class has increased exponentially with some NFTs going in the millions.\\n\\nAs such, NFT investments make for good collateral and Pine aims to bring this convenience to investors. The platform provides permissionless, instant loan transactions that evade the need for negotiations. The NFTs are valuated in real-time to ensure that both the borrower and the lender get a fair deal on the loan. Once the NFT is locked as collateral, borrowers can receive the loan amount in a cryptocurrency of their choice, even if it is different from the NFTs native chain.\\n\\nIn this regard, Pine can benefit from a decentralized communication medium that keeps users updated about the status of their loans.\\n\\n### What Does the Alliance Entail\\n\\nAs a result of our pilot collaboration with the platform, Pine will have an official channel on the EPNS platform. Users who choose to subscribe to this channel, are directly connected for seamless communication with the platform in a decentralized manner. They can expect to receive notifications like\\n\\n- Loan Liquidation alerts\\n- Loan about to expire alerts\\n These notifications save users time and efforts of manually checking for loan updates and helps them take the right action on time. With a chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application, EPNS ensures that notifications are delivered to all devices and are not missed.\\n\\nAs Pine continues to revolutionize the DeFi lending space, we are pleased to collaborate with them to ensure the smooth running of their processes. We are hopeful that EPNS push notifications will become an integral part of the Pine Protocol.\\n\\n### About Pine\\n\\nPine Protocol is a lending and borrowing protocol built on multiple blockchains to facilitate on-chain asset-backed financing. As a two-sided protocol, Pine allows borrowers to use their assets, represented on-chain via NFTs, as collaterals to borrow cryptocurrencies from lenders in real-time, in a fair, transparent, and efficient way. Pine is built by a team of NFT lovers who come from diverse backgrounds in blockchain engineering, investment banking, and management consulting.\\n\\nStay in touch!

You name it \u2014 the community came together and created it. Each week, the winner of that competition was gifted 2,400 PUSH and one Rockstar NFT, each of which was designed by an Indian artist.\\n\\n#### Today, we\u2019re excited to kick off the second volume of Push Rockstars!\\n\\n![Second volume of Push Rockstars Image](./image-1.webp)\\nContribute to WIN 900 PUSH & an NFT\\n\\nFollowing the drop rules of [Rockstars of Push (prev EPNS) Volume 1](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/kicking-off-the-epns-nft-community-drops-6a5c49808cf), We\u2019ll be distributing one NFT a week (every Monday for the next 100 weeks \ud83d\ude31) to one community member who does something to help us push the envelope forward.\\n\\nSo what are some ideas for you to get Volume 2 drops?

Every entry that tags [@pushprotocol](https://twitter.com/PushProtocol) and uses #Rockstars will be considered. Being active on Discord and gathering community love will play a role in nominations though winners (as always) will be decided through governance.

Using which any dApps, smart contracts, backends or protocols can send comm (starting with on chain / off chain / gasless notifs) tied to user wallet in an open, gasless, multichain and platform agnostic fashion. Open comm layer allows any crypto wallet / frontend to tap into the network and get the comm across.\\n\\n### Prize Overview \u2014 For ETHNewYork Hackathon\\n\\n- 1st PRIZE \u2014 $ 2000 USDC\\n- 2nd PRIZE \u2014 $1500 USDC\\n- 3rd PRIZE \u2014 $ 500 USDC\\n- Runner Ups x 5 \u2014 $100\\n\\nBut that\u2019s not just it! Over and above this we have an exciting grants program for you as well!\\n\\n### Push Grants Program approved for $1 Million!\\n\\nThis you\u2019ll also be able to partake in and it\u2019s running all the way up until the second quarter of this year! You\u2019ll be able to find more details of this in our blog [here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/push-grants-program-going-live-6841515f95d8)!\\n\\n### \ud83d\udd17 Important Reference links for Developers\\n\\n- [EPNS Documentation Hub](https://docs.epns.io/)\\n- [EPNS Discord](https://discord.gg/n4EYGyPJcF)\\n\\nAlso, while you\u2019re at the venue, come to our table & grab our Cheat Sheet! Will come in handy! And we\u2019d get to meet you too irl\u2026 \ud83e\udd1d\ud83d\ude0a\\n\\n![EPNS Cheatsheet Image](./image-1.jpeg)\\nCheat Sheet for Devs and Hackers\\n\\n### TL;DR \u2014 Quick Demo Video to get you started\\n\\nWhile you read through the blog for references, links and all the useful tips to BUIDL with us, if you prefer to, we have made a Workshop Video for you to view directly, which would also be provided to you by the ETHGlobal team and will show up on their channels.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n### Ideas to Buidl. Solve. Conquer.\\n\\nFor those who\u2019d prefer to go the reading way here\u2019s how you can Buidl. Solve. Conquer this weekend!\\n\\nAs the blockchain ecosystem has evolved into a composable, multi-chain network, native Web3 communication is growing more and more necessary for user experience, developer operations, investor security, protocol architecture, and a lot more.\\n\\nToday\u2019s methods of communication between and among Web3 users and companies \u2014 dominated by Twitter, Discord, and Telegram \u2014 give rise to poor UX, scams, and sub optimal communication. Among some of the most pressing issues: smart contract version releases are missed, liquidation thresholds are not warned, NFT drops are forgotten, and vulnerabilities aren\u2019t communicated well.\\n\\nThe result is a fractured and siloed approach towards communication in the blockchain ecosystem, making room for an optimised, Web3-native solution. EPNS is created to fix this! This is how:\\n\\nIntegrate EPNS to your dApp and improve UX for all Web3 users\\n\\n- This is probably the easiest, As EPNS is a communication layer, the best and quickest way to get this going is to integrate EPNS in your dApp via our frontend sdk & tutorial here\\n- This will not only improve the user experience for your dApp as users can now instantly see all their notifications across all their activities that they have opted in for but it also vastly improves the entire UX of the Web3 space.\\n\\nScreen1- User is connected to their wallet and has loaded their dApp.\\n\\n![Screen1- User is connected to their wallet and has loaded their dApp Image](./image-2.png)\\n\\nScreen2 \u2014 User sees the EPNS notifications if they are subscribed to any channels in a sidebar which comes on the click on the bell icon.\\n\\n![Screen2 \u2014 User sees the EPNS notifications if they are subscribed to any channels in a sidebar Image](./image-3.png)\\nCreate your dApp / protocol channel and send notifs\\n\\n- So, you already integrated EPNS but like to also improve the experience for your users. Well, this is where you can jump in and create your own channel (any service that sends notifications are called channels).\\n- After which you can easily start sending important notifications about your project directly to the wallet address in a gasless way.\\n- Whether you are creating DAO, DeFi, NFT, Metaverse or anything in between, having a direct form of communication tied to user\u2019s wallet address massively improves the experience of your dApp (and goes extremely well with the bell icon you have integrated)\\n\\nCheck out our Showrunners and Tutorials here for more details\\n\\nCreate notifications channel for anything Web3\\n\\n- A lot of projects and protocols are popular but still don\u2019t have notifications, you can build notifications for them, not only you get prizes for it but some amazing incentives are coming for the channels that are popular (though this is a different conversation). Some ideas that you can use if you want to build out a notif channel.\\n\\nWeb3Comm for DeFi\\n\\nThe DeFi ecosystem is a landscape of constant innovation. We have seen an unprecedented amount of on-chain activity, prompting acute needs from users to keep on top of what is happening. EPNS is poised to accelerate the adoption of the DeFi ecosystem to meet the needs of users and dapps to keep up with rapid innovation.\\n\\nThis of course is one while most important we\u2019ve made quite a headway with a bunch of partners, however if you think you are able to renovate some of this, and build your own technology and have protocols that change the DeFi space for the better, we\u2019d definitely invite you to explore this side of things. Some of the things that EPNS can enable for DeFI protocols and their users is to solve critical DeFi problems as below..\\n\\n- Near Liquidation Alert (Borrowers & Liquidators)\\n- Staking Rewards Available to Claim (Stakers)\\n- Staking Rewards About to Expire (Stakers)\\n- Price Alerts (Traders)\\n- Stablecoin Peg Slippage (Arbitrageurs)\\n- Low Gas Cost (Devs, ETH Power Users)\\n- Rebalances (Token Set Users)\\n- Index Selection/Weighting Changes (Index Users)\\n- Token/Contract Migrations (Protocol Users)\\n- Governance Updates, Token Launches\\n- New Collateral Types on Money Markets\\n- New Liquidity Mining Incentives\\n- Yield Farming APY alerts\\n- Escrow Periods Ending / Tokens Coming Unlocked\\n\\nBesides these there are a ton of other applications that\u2019ll most Web3 users in terms of getting communication or help on notification for that are of important notifications across the board.\\n\\nHope these ideas are some that you find exciting to build, and if you do have any queries feel free to reach out to us on Twitter @epnsproject\\n\\n### \u260e\ufe0f Who do we reach out to for assistance?\\n\\nFeel free to reach out to us at ETHNewYork, our Co-Founder Richa and the EPNS team will be at the venue till the end of the hackathon.

However, the platform focuses on web3, allowing users to invest in and track their crypto and NFT portfolios. Investors can automatically import their Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) trades onto the Stox platform. They can also record any transaction done on the platform.\\n\\nA platform like this allows users to bring all of their under a single roof, making it easier for them to track, manage, and make adjustments to their portfolio. Stox has a beginner-friendly user interface with widgets and hashtags for quick glances. The best part is that Stox supports NFT investments and allows users to buy and sell NFTs on the platform.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThe goal of our collaboration with Stox is the creation of a decentralized communication channel that allows direct interaction with its users. This channel will be housed on the EPNS platform and users of Stox can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications.

Although, with increased demand and users, comes the need for better user experiences and communication between protocols and its users.\\n\\n### A Need for a Better Solution for Web3 Communication\\n\\nThe current state of web3 social media and NFT marketplaces are reliant on web2 based centralized platforms in order to communicate with their users. This usually means one would need to dox their email, or any other personal handle in order to stay connected and updated about the state of their profile. One needs to reveal more than their wallet address in order to receive updates on the platform, or else they need to actively login to the platform in order to receive updates. In a world where users are accustomed to having information right at their fingertips, this is cumbersome and inefficient. Such a user flow is akin to that of the early 2000s when emails and early social media expected users to keep refreshing their pages to check if they have any updates. That is, until push notifications arrived.\\n\\n\\n\\nNowadays, push notifications are so engraved into our lives that without it things will not be the same. The value of platform-to-user communication and vice versa is crucial to cultivating user retention in the long term.\\n\\nSuch a communication layer has been lacking in web3 for a long time, that is until EPNS arrived. EPNS is a decentralized communication layer for the Web3 ecosystem. It allows any dApp, protocol, or smart contract to send send communication (starting with on chain / off chain / gasless notifs) tied to user wallet addresses in an open, gasless, multichain and platform agnostic fashion. This allows users to receive updates in real-time without revealing more than their wallet address connected to their favorite platforms and protocols.\\n\\nLet us explore some of the ways web3 social media platforms and NFT marketplaces can leverage EPNS to effectively communicate with their users:\\n\\n### NFT Trading (Buy, Sell, Auction, Offers)\\n\\nNFT Marketplaces need to communicate with their users when one\u2019s NFT has received an offer or got sold. This sort of communication is crucial for a trader\u2019s user experience in a marketplace.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe idea is to bring notifications to users when activities happen on the marketplace. For example, an NFT is bought or sold, or even when someone has put up an offer for it. The need for realtime notifications also arise during NFT auctions where time is of the essence in most cases. Notifications allow NFT traders to know if they either won an auction or if they got outbid, this allows them to make educated decisions and be on top of the situation.\\n\\nPopular NFT activities can also be monitored by tracking its on-chain movement and notifying interested users, this allows users to create watchlists for NFTs they are eyeing for when they are put for sale or for any other reason.\\n\\n### Artist drops and New Project Launches\\n\\nWith new projects and celebrity and artist drops happening every day, it is hard to keep track of what is happening and when. With the help of EPNS, fans can finally get notified when their favorite artist is about to drop their next collection, or if a new promising project goes live. Users can follow these creators and be notified of news that could be interesting to them.\\n\\n\\n\\n### NFT\u2019s are GOOD!\\n\\nSome projects are more than just being a marketplace, like [DoinGud](https://twitter.com/DoinGudHQ), which is a social marketplace focused on inspiring creativity and positive social impact.\\n\\nSpeaking of creators, there\u2019s a great project we are collaborating up with which is celebrating Manga culture and OG NFTs being the first platformless P2E called [CryptoMangaNFT](https://twitter.com/CryptoMangaNFT)\\n\\nAnd then of course we have your most famous [ENS domains](https://twitter.com/ensdomains), which also are your own NFTs! And with most domains, you\u2019d know they become priceless especially if they\u2019re unique and in the Web3 world in the future, those domain names for your wallet will become all the more important if they\u2019re unique! Having said that, you might forget when they expire, given that most folks buy it for extended periods.\\n\\nAlways good to be notified about that right? Given the value? We have built an ENS domain expiration channel that can notify users when their ENS domain is about to expire, so you never miss out on your domain name. To subscribe to the ENS channel head to [app.epns.io](http://app.epns.io/) and opt-in.\\n\\n![ENS Notification in Dapp Image](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n### The Social Network for NFTs (chat, like, share, comments)\\n\\nAs the NFT ecosystem explodes, complimentary NFT platforms are gaining traction. These platforms can help users explore new NFTs, connect communities, measure social engagement in a decentralized manner, platforms like Lenster, TryShowtime.\\n\\nThe current state of web3 social media is still evolving and EPNS is the perfect solution that allows for protocol to user communication in a decentralized manner. With EPNS, an on-chain or off-chain action can be used to trigger a notification, and hence be able to disperse information to the concerned people right at their fingertips. EPNS soon to be launched wallet to wallet chat will be an interesting addition to the social lego for creator economy \u2014 connecting buyers- sellers, group messaging, artist- fans, and even platform-to-user and vice versa communication such as customer care services, etc.\\n\\nNFTVerse is still an early market, but there is a significant opportunity for native communication to accelerate the adoption."},{"id":"epns-and-h20-ally","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-and-h20-ally","source":"@site/blog/2022-06-06-epns-and-h20-ally/index.md","title":"EPNS and H2O Ally to Enable Seamless Communication for Users","description":"EPNS and H2O Ally to Enable Seamless Communication for Users","date":"2022-06-06T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"June 6, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"}],"readingTime":1.4466666666666668,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-and-h20-ally","title":"EPNS and H2O Ally to Enable Seamless Communication for Users","description":"EPNS and H2O Ally to Enable Seamless Communication for Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS and H2O collaborate to bring decentralized push notifications to the platform.","tags":["Defi","Ethereum","Blockchain","Epnsproject"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Why Engaging with Users Within the NFTVerse Matters","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/why-engaging-with-users-within-the-nft-verse-matters"},"nextItem":{"title":"EPNS x The Graph: Enabling a better way to access blockchain data \ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\ude80 \ud83d\udd14","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-x-the-graph"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of EPNS and H2O Ally to Enable Seamless Communication for Users](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nEPNS and H2O, the stable asset that allows users to transact in Ocean\u2019s decentralized marketplace, team up in a pilot collaboration to enable communication between the users and the platform. Users of H20 are now poised to receive updates whenever their loans approach liquidation.\\n\\n### A Stable Asset for the Data Market\\n\\nLaunched in March 2022, H2O is a non-pegged stable asset backed by Ocean Protocol\u2019s $OCEAN token. Ocean Protocol is a decentralized data exchange platform that allows users to exchange valuable data in a safe and secure environment while maintaining privacy and control. The platform has two unique crypto primitives, on-ramp data and off-ramp data that allow users to tokenize their data.\\n\\nThey can then trade or exchange the data with companies and protocols of their choice. Ocean Protocol powers data markets that can act as bridges between DeFi protocols and data owners, facilitating the selling, buying, and even staking of data. In this regard, H2O is an asset that allows users to easily transact in these data markets, circumventing the volatility of the $OCEAN token. It serves as a stable unit of exchange. Users can simply deposit $OCEAN tokens and borrow H2O tokens for these transactions.\\n\\nAs such, there is a need for a robust communication mechanism that informs users when the price of $OCEAN falls below a certain threshold and their loan approaches liquidation. At EPNS, we aim to build this communication mechanism.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nAs a result of our pilot collaboration with the platform, H2O will have an official channel on the EPNS platform. Users who choose to subscribe to this channel, are directly connected for seamless communication with the platform. They can expect to receive notifications whenever their loans approach liquidation. This allows users to take appropriate action on time, protecting their assets from liquidation.\\n\\nWith a chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application, EPNS ensures that notifications are delivered to all devices and are not missed. As H2O and Ocean Protocol continue to revolutionize the DeFi industry, we are pleased to collaborate with them to ensure the smooth running of their processes. We are hopeful that EPNS push notifications will become an integral part of the H2O platform.\\n\\nAbout H2O\\nH2O is a stable asset that allows users to transact freely in Ocean\u2019s decentralized data marketplace, removing the variability of OCEAN\u2019s pricing. Initially, OCEAN itself will back H2O; but the asset is poised to become data-backed later this year.\\n\\nStay in touch!

As more and more data finds its way on-chain, users and developers need to access organised data efficiently.\\n\\nToday, EPNS is excited to announce integration of The Graph to combine the power of subgraphs with notifications! The integration leverages a core EPNS feature that enables developers to establish customised notifications and \u201ccall to actions\u201d so they can more easily access data.\\n\\n### About EPNS X The Graph Integration\\n\\nBefore we dive into the integration, let\u2019s give you an overview of what each one of us have been doing to give you a better understanding of how this integration works, who it is targeted to, and what benefits users will gain.\\n\\n#### About Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS)\\n\\nEPNS is a decentralised communication protocol for web3! It allows any dapp, smart contract, backend or protocol to send communication directly to user wallet addresses in an open, gasless, and platform-agnostic fashion.\\n\\n#### About The Graph\\n\\nThe Graph is the indexing and query layer of web3. Developers build and publish open APIs, called subgraphs, that applications can query using GraphQL. Tens of thousands of developers use The Graph for applications such as Uniswap, Synthetix, KnownOrigin, Art Blocks, Gnosis, Balancer, Livepeer, DAOstack, Audius, Decentraland, and many others.\\n\\nNow, back to the EPNS x The Graph integration and how it helps. Until this integration, channel creators or developers have to:\\n\\n1. Create a channel, which is mandatory.\\n2. Once a channel is created, you will need to send out notifs, for which you have to set/define logics at the back end.\\n\\nTo send notifs on your channel, there were two methods which you can use:\\n\\n1. Using the backend SDK ([Showrunners Framework](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/epns-showrunners-framework-and-backend-sdk-beta-v1-0-are-live-7348c0725a12))\\n2. Using [smart contracts](https://docs.epns.io/developers/developer-zone/examples/smart-contracts-example)\\n\\nHowever to do so, both methods required a decent amount of development work to code the logic using the SDKs.\\n\\nWith The Graph integration, you\u2019ll now be able to send EPNS notifications directly from your subgraph. With this new integration using the subgraph and EPNS, we are simplifying the process and minimising the need for extra development.\\n\\n![First image of EPNS x The Graph: Enabling a better way to access blockchain data \ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\ude80 \ud83d\udd14](./image-1.webp)\\nHigh level integration diagram\\n\\nTo expand on this, let\u2019s take a look at how this feature and integration is enabling a better way to access indexed data from the blockchain to send notifications.\\n\\n#### What does The Graph help with?\\n\\n- The biggest pain point you are able to address via The Graph is fetching data from the blockchain and customising it the way you want. Typically, if you were trying to do this directly from the blockchain, it would be very inefficient.\\n- There hasn\u2019t been a specific aggregator to check/run queries of all transactions in one place. And that\u2019s where The Graph comes in. Using a subgraph, you can define how you want to see your data, automatically indexing each block from the blockchain.\\n- Mainly querying data via a backend from the blockchain takes a lot of time and is a centralised approach, and that\u2019s something that subgraphs help with\\n- Subgraphs also have the ability to index different blockchains. Community members can directly query the data from the subgraph.\\n\\n#### Where does EPNS come in?\\n\\n- Using EPNS, developers can get notifications via their channels on EPNS, and get better access to the indexed data created via their subgraphs with this new integration.\\n- If your channel doesn\u2019t have a subgraph, you can first define that in a subgraph and then further use this new feature to send notifs as per your logic.\\n- Illustrating via an example, if you\u2019ve deployed a Uniswap contract and a swap\u2019s happening, then the developer can define an action as to what should happen if a swap event has happened. And accordingly push notifications for them.\\n- The integration eases the process, reduces the time of sending custom notifs by simply integrating the subgraph without the need of a server or spending too much time coding your own logic at the back end.\\n\\n#### Benefits of the EPNS x The Graph integration\\n\\n- With this integration, notifications can directly be triggered from a subgraph(see our [lightpaper](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/ethereum-push-notification-service-litepaper-e7ca0a662862) for definitions of channels, services, and more)\\n- Developers can use all the power and flexibility of subgraphs and use that as the logic for their notifications.\\n\\nNote: Subgraph integration is available on staging right now.\\n\\n
\\n\\nReal-time push notifications were for a long time a missing part in the web3 stack. EPNS solves this with a decentralised notification system. Thanks to the integration with The Graph it is much easier to send those notifications to users. A subgraph can now be used as the trigger for notifications. This is very convenient for dapps which already have a subgraph and I also expect that this will become the default setup in the future. \u2014\\nSimon Emanuel Schmid, Solutions Engineer at Edge & Node working on The Graph\\n\\nWith growing adoption of decentralised infrastructure, simplifying data and making it accessible for users will be key. We see The Graph and EPNS as a great opportunity to bring the most seamless user experience to dapp developers. We are looking forward to working with The Graph team to make the decentralised network even stronger with this integration. \u2014 Harsh Rajat, EPNS founder\\n\\n

This is very convenient for dapps which already have a subgraph and I also expect that this will become the default setup in the future. \u2014 Simon Emanuel Schmid, Solutions Engineer at Edge & Node working on The Graph\\n\\nWith growing adoption of decentralised infrastructure, simplifying data and making it accessible for users will be key. We see The Graph and EPNS as a great opportunity to bring the most seamless user experience to dapp developers. We are looking forward to working with The Graph team to make the decentralised network even stronger with this integration. \u2014 Harsh Rajat, EPNS founder .\\n\\n\\n

As such, Hermes DeFi will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the various investment and governance opportunities on the platform without reliance on Web2 social media platforms.\\n\\n#### Hermes DeFi: The Olympus of DeFi\\n\\nHermes DeFi defines itself as the \u201cOlympus of DeFi\u201d. With a team of 16 experienced DeFi users, Hermes is building an entire suite of DeFi applications surrounding a low-cost and efficient DEX/AMM on the Harmony blockchain. They have received almost $500,000 in investments from [Harmony](https://hermesdefi.medium.com/what-a-305k-investment-in-hermes-defi-looks-like-96b7bb4f534) and [Momentum 6](https://blog.hermesdefi.io/hermes-defi-receives-a-175-000-investment-for-their-trader-focused-dex-launching-on-harmony-9f25dd99b6f7) to build a trader-focused and user-friendly DeFi system on [Harmony](https://www.harmony.one/).\\n\\nThe Hermes Protocol is a collection of DeFi tools that helps to bring ease of use and better insights into your crypto portfolio. On launch, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a [0.2% swap fee](https://docs.hermesdefi.io/tokenomics/feenomics) with efficient routing across 13 tokens. Hermes is offering both regular Farms and [Dual Farms](https://docs.hermesdefi.io/partnerships/dual-farms), which can reward two tokens with no reward lockups. Farmed HRMS can be staked as [sHRMS](https://docs.hermesdefi.io/hermes-products/shrms) or [xHRMS](https://docs.hermesdefi.io/hermes-products/xhrms), which automatically collect a portion of protocol fees and payout in USDC or HRMS, respectively. These features, combined with an in-depth analytics system, are just the start for Hermes DeFi. Their [roadmap for 2022](https://docs.hermesdefi.io/the-hermes-protocol/roadmap) includes: trustless liquid staking of ONE tokens (hONE), Bonding, Limit Orders, and much more.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nAs a result of this pilot collaboration, Hermes DeFi will have an official channel housed on the EPNS platform. Users of Hermes DeFi will be able to subscribe to this channel to receive:\\n\\n- Price alerts\\n- Updates about new bond cycles, new dual farms opening or dual farms closing\\n- Updates about governance proposals\\n- Notifications about reward thresholds when they are ready to claim.\\n- \u2026and more in the future!\\n\\nThis saves users the hassle of manually checking for all these updates and improves the user experience on the platform along with the participation rates. We\u2019re excited to dive into this alliance with Hermes DeFi and hope to contribute to the growth of the platform.\\n\\nAbout Hermes DeFi\\nHermes DeFi is the Olympus of Defi. Our friendly community is building a decentralized and proactive platform at the forefront of modern day finance.

According to a [report by Kraken](https://kraken.docsend.com/view/kfzxp6qqaqnqyue6), as of February 2022, there are at least 188 DAOs controlling over $12 billion in assets. With such a mammoth amount of funds in DAO treasuries, there is also an overwhelming increase in the importance and management of DAO operations, as proven by the numbers (6.8K Snapshot spaces, 700K+ governance token holders). This opens up a door to build and create value in all the operational wings of this new era of digitally-native internet collective organizations.\\n\\nAlthough there is an increase in demand for robust DAO tooling, most of the space is still budding and isn\u2019t as streamlined as one would hope for it to be. EPNS aims to solve one of the significant challenges faced by DAO operations \u2014 communication.\\n\\nThe communication layer in web3 is often overlooked by many, even in DAOs. This eventually leads to slower workflows, inefficient processes, etc. among members, and often leads to going back to the reliance on centralized web2 services for communication such as Twitter and Discord.\\n\\n### What is a DAO?\\n\\nA DAO is an internet-native collective that comes together for a common purpose. They have a lower barrier to entry to coordinate assets and ideas compared to traditional organizations and they have no single person or group that controls the decisions of the entity\u2019s operations.\\n\\nAlthough there are many types of DAOs out there these days, most of them fall under the following categories: to build products (yearn, Sushi), to invest (The LAO, MetaCartel Ventures, BitDAO), to collect NFTs (FlamingoDAO, PleasrDAO), Protocol DAOS (Maker, Compound, UniSwap, Aave & EPNS too), DAO Operating Systems( Aragon, DAOStack, Orca), Social DAOs (Radicle, Seed Club, FWB) or to provide services (RaidGuild, LexDAO, Metafactory).\\n\\n### Solving Challenges in DAO Ops\\n\\nNo matter the sector these DAOs are focusing on, operations & communication are a mammoth task when you have thousands of members scattered across the globe. EPNS solves some of the major challenges in communications faced by DAOs through its decentralized web3 communication layer. Let us explore some of the possible use cases below.\\n\\n#### Contribution Management:\\n\\nDAOs have contributors who contribute to the DAO in various degrees. The journey of a contributor is hard to track and navigate. For a new member, this journey would be to navigate through the DAO and find a task they can assign themselves and make their first contribution to the DAO.\\n\\nBounties and Quests act as bite-sized tasks that members can tackle to \u201clevel up\u201d in the DAO. Yearn has a [dashboard that aggregates open issues](https://contribute.yearn.rocks/) across their repositories, Polygon Ecosystem DAO [posts bounties and tasks](https://app.dework.xyz/0xpolygon-ecosystem/overview) for members to pick up to help promote the Polygon Ecosystem. These act as great ways to aggregate the tasks at hand, but disseminating that information among members is also equally important.\\n\\nFor DAOs that measure contributor engagement as a KPI for the value one brings to it, it is important to surface the right information (tasks, bounties, etc.) to the right people at the right time.\\n\\nThe state of communication in DAOs is reliant on platforms like Discord, whenever a new task or bounty is generated, it\u2019s pushed to Discord as a message which could just get lost like a needle in a haystack. This is not an ideal form of communication that could be achieved by DAOs, much more can be done.\\n\\nEPNS can act as the communication layer that proves to be vital for giving real-time updates and notifications to DAO members when a bounty is added, updated, or completed. This allows members to stay updated on all things DAO-related, and also be able to jump onto tasks that they see fit. This reduces any sort of confusion and helps in matching the right kind of people to the right kind of jobs, hence increasing DAO productivity tenfold.\\n\\n#### Payroll Processing & Compensation:\\n\\nOnce bounties or quests are completed, then comes the need to get paid for one\u2019s efforts. Different DAOs have different payment structures and mechanisms, there may be some bounty completers, some who are kept on recurring salary by the DAO, etc. No matter the payment structure for the members of a DAO, it is important for members to know when their payroll has been processed.\\n\\nOften we see DAOs processing the payments and having to either individually message each member that it has been processed, or not mention it at all.\\n\\nWith EPNS, DAOs can easily notify contributors about the status of their compensation, and contributors can immediately know when their efforts have been reimbursed. No more emails, or DMs that say \u201cYour compensation has been processed\u201d. Get a notification right at your fingertips that say \u201cCha-Ching! your DAO has sent you $$$ for your contributions!\u201d\\n\\n#### Decision Making & Treasury Management:\\n\\nAnother area that is tightly coupled with the above 2 points is DAO decision making & treasury management. A DAO thrives on its treasury \u2014 without it, the DAO cannot function. Proposals are created to decide on how the funds in the treasury are used to help the DAO grow and achieve its goals while members debate and vote on them. Tools like Snapshot are used for off-chain signature-based voting, while signaling is usually done on platforms like Discord or Governance Forums.\\n\\nHowever, there is usually a disparity between the number of active voters and the number of members in the DAO. This, coupled with the challenges of DAO treasury management such as transparency and insights into asset allocation and spending to assess performance and financial health, causes general confusion about the state of the DAO and limits its growth.\\n\\nIt is often hard for members to keep track of active proposals and new proposals that are proposed in the DAO on a regular basis, most DAOs expect their members to be actively involved in the Discord or check their Snapshot page for new proposals. This is not always easy for all members, and hence there needs to be a better way to communicate with members regarding this.\\n\\nEPNS can send notifications right at the fingertips of DAO members whenever there is a new proposal or there is new activity on an existing proposal. Members can stay updated easily about the state of the DAO and be more actively involved in the decision-making process of it. This reduces voter apathy and increases voter turnout, hence increasing decentralization in terms of governance.\\n\\nAs decisions are made, DAOs need to manage finances in their treasury \u2014 allocating funds to initiatives, giving away grants, compensating working groups, etc. However, there are challenges to this as well. There need to be more transparent insights into the overall financial health of the DAO and members of the DAO need to be aware of the actions taken by the treasury each time. Communication regarding treasury inflows, and outflows, and linking it to proposal spending, needs to be communicated well to the members of the DAO so they can make educated decisions when voting on certain crucial proposals. Communication of KPIs of a DAO is crucial for its members to feel safe and important within that community.\\n\\nEPNS helps in communicating these insights with members on a timely basis. Giving members a regular bird\u2019s eye view of the state of the DAO at a particular time.\\n\\nWe are still at the dawn of the emergence of DAOs, many are still figuring out best practices, standards, and processes that work for coordinating a decentralized internet-native community all over the world to build, invest, and create amazing things. Just like how DeFi and NFTs entered the mainstream world, DAOs are soon to follow, and the new era of digital collectives will be here to stay.\\n\\nDAO operations and communication tooling is getting better each day, and we are glad to have become a fundamental building block for the Web3 space that can help DAOs communicate effectively with their members and grow exponentially, by lowering the barriers and increasing user experience."},{"id":"epns-and-genesis-shards","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-and-genesis-shards","source":"@site/blog/2022-05-17-epns-and-genesis-shards/index.md","title":"EPNS and Genesis Shards Join Forces to Bring Push Notifications to Users","description":"EPNS and Genesis Shards Join Forces to Bring Push Notifications to Users","date":"2022-05-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"May 17, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"}],"readingTime":1.43,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-and-genesis-shards","title":"EPNS and Genesis Shards Join Forces to Bring Push Notifications to Users","description":"EPNS and Genesis Shards Join Forces to Bring Push Notifications to Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS and Hermes DeFi collaborate to bring decentralized push notifications to the DeFi on the Harmony blockchain.","tags":["Ethereum","Blockchain","Epnsproject"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"Boosting DAO Infrastructure and Operations tooling by leveraging EPNS as the Communication Layer","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/boosting-dao-infrastructure"},"nextItem":{"title":"EPNS team up with EthSign to deliver notifications for the next generation of E-Signing platforms.","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-team-up-with-ethsign"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of EPNS and Genesis Shards Join Forces to Bring Push Notifications to Users](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nGenesis Shards, the new-age marketplace transforming NFTs into a vehicle for pre-IDO tokens collaborates with EPNS to enable direct communication between the platform and its users. Users of Genesis Shards can now expect to receive timely updates about staking pools and whitelists on the platform through push notifications.\\n\\n### Creating a Market for Illiquid Tokens\\n\\nAfter the monumental success of ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) in the early stages of the crypto industry, the emergent DeFi space came up with Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs) to solve the issue of centralization and allow any upcoming DeFi project to raise funds. Today, IDOs seem to be the popular choice for token distribution, however, in the Pre-IDO stages projects still struggle with low token liquidity due to the lack of a tradable market.\\n\\nIn this context, Genesis Shards is a decentralized ecosystem that aims to create a new Pre-IDO market using NFTs to solve these issues. The platform transforms NFTs into vehicles that carry Pre-IDO tokens, creating a tradable market for previously illiquid tokens. Projects leveraging these new Pre-IDO NFTs can get access to liquidity in the early stages of development. Moreover, owing to the appeal of NFTs, these projects can build a strong community presence early on.\\n\\nAs such, Genesis Shards could vastly benefit from a communication channel that allows the platform to directly convey updates about newly available whitelists and investment opportunities to its users. This is where the collaboration with EPNS could be pivotal.\\n\\n### What Does the Alliance Entail?\\n\\nAs a part of the collaboration between EPNS and Genesis Shards, Genesis Shards will have an official channel on the EPNS platform. Users are free to subscribe to this channel and upon doing so, they become recipients of decentralized push notifications coming directly from Genesis Shards. They can expect notifications if and wherever\\n\\n- New staking pools are available\\n- Staking pools are closing\\n- A new project goes live\\n- They win an IDO whitelist\\n\\nAs Genesis Shards is transforming IDOs with its innovative Pre-IDO approach, we\u2019re enthralled to be a part of this journey and hope to be an integral part of their operations.\\n\\nAbout Genesis Shards\\nGenesis Shards is a marketplace for transforming NFTs into a liquidity vehicle for Pre-IDO tokens and a whole new suite of DeFi products across multiple blockchains. By wrapping time-locked fungible tokens into NFTs, the platform aims to create a new market for previously illiquid tokens.\\n\\nStay in touch!

Blockchain technology undoubtedly has its place in agreement signing, such as providing a transparent audit trail, no server breakdown issues, permanent records of documents, and so on.\\n\\nEthSign not only incorporates all features of a traditional electronic signing platform but a lot more. Currently, EthSign supports two offerings \u2014 EthSign3.0 (PDF Signing) & EthSign Smart Agreements (ESA).\\n\\nEPNS is proud and thrilled to integrate with EthSign for our pilot program. During our collaboration with EthSign, we will implement the following use cases:\\n\\n- Notifying a co-signer when added to the contract.\\n- Notifying when a co-signer signs a contract on EthSign.\\n- When comments are added to the contract by any of the signing parties.\\n\\nWe are excited to join hands with yet another project that is expanding the Web3 ethos of decentralization and bringing even more utility to Web3. We look forward to working with the EthSign team and bringing a decentralized communication layer to the next generation of electronic agreements.\\n\\n### About EthSign\\n\\nEthSign is a decentralized, electronic signing application built on Ethereum that allows users to upload, sign, and verify digital agreements.

These notifications will allow users to get timely access to the tickets and grab the chance of attending their favorite event.\\n\\n### NFT-TiX: Reimagine Event Tickets as NFTs\\n\\nNFT TiX is a decentralized marketplace that aims to bridge the gap between ticket buyers and ticket sellers in today\u2019s world. From sporting events to film screenings and music concerts and art exhibitions, all events operate on a ticketing basis. This means that people interested in these events buy tickets to attend them. However, today\u2019s ticketing system is not as straightforward as it seems.\\n\\nThere is heavy involvement of third-party ticket sellers who make the most profits and take a significant share out of the sellers\u2019 pockets. Ticket buyers, on the other hand, end up paying more than what is required. Moreover, regular tickets come with the threat of being stolen, forged, or lost, and buyers end up missing out on their favorite events.\\n\\nThis is the gap that NFT TiX aims to bridge. By tokenizing tickets as NFTs, NFT TiX evades the need for third-party involvement and also ensures that the ticket truly belongs to its buyer. Apart from this, the ticket goes from being a liability to an asset that can be traded and sold anytime after the event. Special perks and incentives can also be etched into NFTs for the buyers. Industry experts believe that NFTs and the future of ticketing and NFT TiX is already taking strides in that direction.\\n\\nAs such, the platform needs a communication medium that keeps users updated about all the upcoming events, and EPNS aims to achieve that.\\n\\n### What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our partnership with NFT TiX, we aim to create a decentralized communication channel that allows the platform to directly interact with its users. This channel will be housed on the EPNS platform and users of NFT-TiX can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications. The notifications will be sent out whenever there is a new upcoming event of interest so that users can grab the various opportunities and attend their favorite events.\\n\\nEPNS has a Chrome extension, a DAPP, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re pleased to team up with NFT TiX on their journey towards reimagine tickets as NFTs and hope to continue the alliance into the future.\\n\\n### About NFT-TiX\\n\\nNFT TiX a is a ticketing platform and marketplace built on Ethereum blockchain. It is run and governed by smart contracts, empowering ticket sellers to connect with ticket buyers one-on-one. This is a piece of revolutionary technology that helps the ticketing industry step away from middlemen once and for all. NFT TiX prioritizes fair prices, profit for sellers on the secondary market, and exclusive perks for ticket holders from event organizers.\\n\\nStay in touch!

See you there \ud83d\udc4b\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nHarsh Rajat, Founder & Project Lead \u2014 EPNS\\n\\n# \ud83d\udd14 Quick Rundown of EPNS\\n\\n**Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS)** is the world\u2019s first decentralized communication & notification protocol for Web3. Using the protocol, any smart contract, dApp or back end can send on-chain or off-chain notifications tied to wallet addresses of a user in a multichain, open, platform agnostic way. Being an open communication middleware, notifs can be integrated and shown on any crypto wallet, mobile apps, extension or dApps.\\n\\n## Ideas to Buidl. Solve. Conquer.\\n\\nAs the blockchain ecosystem has evolved into a composable, multi-chain network, native Web3 communication is growing more and more necessary for user experience, developer operations, investor security, protocol architecture, and a lot more.\\n\\nToday\u2019s methods of communication between and among Web3 users and companies \u2014 dominated by Twitter, Discord, and Telegram \u2014 give rise to poor UX, scams, and sub optimal communication. Among some of the most pressing issues: smart contract version releases are missed, liquidation thresholds are not warned, NFT drops are forgotten, and vulnerabilities aren\u2019t communicated well.\\n\\nThe result is a fractured and siloed approach towards communication in the blockchain ecosystem, making room for an optimised, Web3-native solution. EPNS is created to fix this! This is how:\\n\\n**Integrate EPNS to your dApp and improve UX for all Web3 users**\\n\\n- This is probably the easiest, As EPNS is a communication layer, the best and quickest way to get this going is to integrate EPNS in your dApp via our frontend [**sdk & tutorial**](https://github.com/push-protocol/embed-demo-app) here\\n- This will not only improve the user experience for your dApp as users can now instantly see all their notifications across all their activities that they have opted in for but it also vastly improves the entire UX of the Web3 space.\\n\\n**_Screen1_**_\\\\- User is connected to their wallet and has loaded their dApp._\\n\\n![First image of Hack the future of DeFi powered with Web3 communication aka EPNS](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n**_Screen2_** _\u2014 User sees the EPNS notifications if they are subscribed to any channels in a sidebar which comes on the click on the bell icon._\\n\\n![Second image of Hack the future of DeFi powered with Web3 communication aka EPNS](./image-2.webp)\\n\\n**Create your dApp / protocol channel and send notifs**\\n\\n- So, you already integrated EPNS but like to also improve the experience for your users. Well, this is where you can jump in and create your own channel (any service that sends notifications are called channels).\\n- After which you can easily start sending important notifications about your project directly to the wallet address in a gasless way.\\n- Whether you are creating DAO, DeFi, NFT, Metaverse or anything in between, having a direct form of communication tied to user\u2019s wallet address massively improves the experience of your dApp (and goes extremely well with the bell icon you have integrated)\\n\\nCheck out our [**Showrunners**](https://docs.epns.io/developers/developer-tooling/showrunners-framework) **and** [**Tutorials**](https://docs.epns.io/developers/developer-zone/examples/showrunners-example) here for more details\\n\\n**Create notifications channel for anything Web3**\\n\\n- A lot of projects and protocols are popular but still don\u2019t have notifications, you can build notifications for them, not only you get prizes for it but some amazing incentives are coming for the channels that are popular (though this is a different conversation). Some ideas that you can use if you want to build out a notif channel.\\n\\n**Web3Comm for DeFi**\\n\\nThe DeFi ecosystem is a landscape of constant innovation. We have seen an unprecedented amount of on-chain activity, prompting acute needs from users to keep on top of what is happening.

As a result, users of OpenBiSea will get important updates pertaining to their NFT purchases and sales delivered to their devices.\\n\\n# The All-In-One NFT Marketplace OpenBiSea\\n\\nOpenBiSea is a smart contract-based NFT marketplace that aims to present a simplistic solution for buying, selling, and creating auctions for NFTs. The platform has Android, iOS, and web applications and through Binance Smart Chain (BSC) based smart contracts, the platform has successfully managed to streamline the process of NFT trading to an extent where users can cut deals for NFTs with just a few clicks.\\n\\nAll NFT auctions on OpenBiSea are automated within the smart contracts and by having bridge smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum network, the platform gains multichain functionality. All NFT assets flow transparently and are stored unchanged on the blockchain.\\n\\nThe platform has a simple interface and an unmatched user experience, making it accessible to new users jumping the NFT bandwagon.

Upon doing so, they receive decentralized push notifications whenever\\n\\n- Sellers get offers for their NFTs\\n- NFTs are successfully sold.\\n\\nThis kind of communication is fully decentralized and greatly reduces the need for centralized solutions in web3. EPNS also has a web app, a decentralized app, and a mobile application to help users receive reliable updates about their NFTs from time to time.\\n\\nWe\u2019re enthralled with our collaboration with OpenBiSea and hope to contribute to an unmatched user experience on the platform.\\n\\n# About OpenBiSea\\n\\nOpenBiSea NFT marketplace is a smart contract, iOS, Android, and web UI app. It is a simple, step-by-step guided solution to buy, sell and make auctions (smart contract-based) for NFT.

As such, users of ShapeShift are poised to receive decentralized push notifications pertaining to the governance process. These notifications are designed to increase user participation and keep them updated about every step in the governance procedure.\\n\\n# ShapeShift: The Community-Owned Crypto Exchange\\n\\nAt its core, ShapeShift is a cryptocurrency exchange that allows users to buy, sell, trade, invest, and track digital assets. What distinguishes the platform from the rest is the fact that it is non-custodial, community-owned, and multichain operational. This means that users of the platform enjoy all the conveniences of a centralized crypto exchange while still being able to maintain full privacy and control of their crypto assets at all times. Moreover, there are no KYC or ID proof requirements to trade on the platform, and ShapeShift is the first to offer zero-commission trading to users.\\n\\nAs of this writing, ShapeShift has a lifetime trading volume of $6 billion with over 150,000 monthly active users. And users can benefit by choosing to participate in the platform governance on ShapeShift DAO. However, for the smooth running of the governance process, there is a need for a communication medium that keeps users informed of actionable steps to encourage participation. This is where EPNS plays a key role.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our partnership with ShapeShift, we envision the creation of a decentralized communication channel that allows the platform to directly interact with its users. This channel will be housed on the EPNS platform, and users of ShapeShift can subscribe to it to become beneficiaries of decentralized notifications. They can expect to receive notifications whenever:\\n\\n- New proposals are created for voting and the voting process begins\\n- The voting process is about to end ( sent 24 hours before)\\n- The results of the voting are declared\\n\\nThis allows users to grab the governance opportunities on ShapeShift at the right time and help steer the direction of its growth. EPNS has a Chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss out on notifications on any device.\\n\\nWe\u2019re pleased to partner with ShapeShift on their journey towards making digital assets highly accessible and hope to continue the alliance into the future.\\n\\n# **About ShapeShift**\\n\\nSince 2014, ShapeShift has been pioneering self-custody for digital asset trading. Today\u2019s ShapeShift DAO is an engaged community of builders working to advance the state of crypto trading, investing and access to open, decentralized financial systems. Our web and mobile platforms empower users to safely buy, hold, trade, invest and interact with digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cosmos.\\n\\nStay in touch!

As such, users of 0VIX are poised to receive updates about the various happenings and opportunities, directly from the platform.\\n\\n# Redefining DeFi\u2019s Money Market\\n\\nDeFi\u2019s monumental success over the past few years is no secret now. While there are several contributing factors, it was DeFi\u2019s money market protocols that solidified the success of the industry, culminating into the mammoth of today.\\n\\nHowever, these protocols in the recent past have faced significant challenges, mostly pertaining to risk mitigation. Over-collateralization of assets is the common theme among all the protocols and even after years of decentralization, they maintain an opaque front when it comes to the liquidation of assets. Moreover, the lack of proper cross-chain bridging exposes user assets to operational risks and exploitation.\\n\\nIn this regard, as a DeFi 2.0 money market protocol, 0VIX aims to provide a viable solution to these problems while providing sustainable yields from DeFi to the mass market. The protocol makes use of voted escrow tokenomics and advanced interest rate models to mitigate risks and offer higher APYs to users. 0VIX is based on the Polygon network and aims to build a new money market ecosystem on Polygon. Combine this with a frictionless user experience and we have the recipe for a protocol that future proofs lending, borrowing, and staking of assets in DeFi, to create a money market with universal appeal.\\n\\nNow, as a DeFi protocol poised to receive an influx of new users, 0VIX can benefit from a communication channel that facilitates better communication with its users. This is exactly what we at EPNS aim to achieve with this collaboration.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail?\\n\\nThe collaboration between EPNS and 0VIX aims to create a direct communication channel between the users and the protocol for seamless interaction. This channel is housed on the EPNS platform where users of 0VIX can easily subscribe to it. Subscribers will receive decentralized push notifications from the platform whenever\\n\\n- Collateral approaches liquidation\\n- The Collateral has been liquidated\\n- Protocol parameters change\\n- New asset support is added to the platform\\n- Voting for governance begins or ends\\n\\nEPNS has a chrome extension, a dApp, and a mobile application to ensure users never miss out on these notifications. These notifications will build on the existing user experience on the platform and complement it by providing a sense of convenience to users.\\n\\nWe\u2019re pleased to have allied with 0VIX on this project and hope to contribute to the growth of the platform.\\n\\n# **About 0VIX**\\n\\n0VIX is an open-source lending and borrowing protocol enhanced with veTokenomics. Our focus is on providing stable and sustainable yields for Polygon users, through our native token $VIX. We aim to bring billions of dollars of liquidity to Polygon by providing the 3000+ app ecosystem with its first native money market.\\n\\n0VIX is built by the GOGO Protocol team, 35+ professionals, spread across 3 continents, with deep crypto/DeFi expertise and with roots in banking, finance, tech as well as more than 10 years of experience in building multi-billion dollar tech companies such as N26, Consensys, Binance, Deutsche Bank and Sovryn.\\n\\nJoin our community today!

The **Rockstars of EPNS** is our gratitude collection of 100 NFTs commissioned by Indian artists to show our appreciation for the incredible support of the Push community. 48, out of the 100 NFTs were gifted to our early advisors, supporters, and evangelists of the EPNS protocol who helped us reach so many milestones. The remaining 52 NFTs were allocated for community members.\\n\\nWe are proud to have these 52 well-wishers & supporters of EPNS who have contributed to the project in several ways.\\n\\n**Community-chosen winners**\\n\\nThe initial 24 Rockstars of EPNS were chosen by the EPNS team internally by carefully scrutinizing the submissions.

With that being said, we invite all the OG supporters of EPNS, the Rockstar Winners to continue supporting us & get incentivized via tipping.\\n\\n**3\\\\. Governance Engagement**\\n\\nPush Governance in the long run would be an inevitable part of EPNS that drives the protocol. As we move towards that goal, we invite the Rockstars to hold the baton for Push Governance, be the community leaders & engage in all Push Governance activities ([Forum](https://gov.epns.io/), [Discord](https://discord.gg/YVPB99F9W5)).\\n\\n## Thank you!\\n\\nAfter 52 weeks together, to thank all of you adequately is impossible.

We witnessed DeFi taking over the world, NFTs driving adoption and landing mainstream spots, Metaverse coming to a room near you and so many more things! And of course, the creation of EPNS Protocol, the communication layer for Web3 that will ensure all of these things (and more!) can function properly.\\n\\nWe had a phenomenal 2021 with building the tech that will empower the future of the internet aka Web3. Continuing with our vision of becoming the de-facto communication layer for Web3, the 2022 roadmap is designed to enable faster adoption of the EPNS protocol, becoming multi-chain, further perfecting the protocol, and enabling developers and wallets alike to integrate the protocol in the smoothest way possible.\\n\\nTo help us achieve our objectives, we will focus on the following product themes:\\n\\n- EPNS Protocol & Smart Contracts (Send Notifications)\\n- Progressive Decentralized Governance\\n- Front-End products: dApp, Mobile App, Browser extension\\n- PUSH Nodes (Retrieval & Dispatch)\\n- Technical Documentation\\n\\nTLDR;\\n\\n![First Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n### EPNS Protocol (Send Notifications)\\n\\n![Second Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-2.webp)\\n\\n2021 witnessed the creation and [successful audit](https://epns.io/EPNS-Protocol-Audit2021.pdf) of the EPNS Smart Contracts!\\n\\nThe main goal of the EPNS Protocol is to make sure all communication is prepared and sent in compliance with the protocol standards. This will make every notification readily available to be picked up by the PUSH Nodes in charge of dispatching.\\n\\nThe year 2021 witnessed quite significant modifications in the EPNS Smart contract.\\n\\nAs we continue to work towards our vision of becoming blockchain agnostic, we have now ensured that our protocol is capable of effectively supporting multi-chain interoperability.\\n\\nIn order for us to provide a communication layer across multiple chains, our protocol has now been divided into 2 major components namely EPNS Core & EPNS Comm(Communicator). As per the current architecture, the EPNSCore contract shall only be deployed to the Ethereum blockchain, the EPNSComm is designed to be used in multiple chains. Read more about the in-depth details about the contracts [here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/roadmap-q3-audited-epns-push-protocol-v1-is-here-f4560dfe550c).\\n\\nWhile some of our imperative features like Channel Creation, notification sending, subscribe/unsubscribe, etc; were already designed in our smart contracts, new features are coming to the protocol this year. For instance:\\n\\n- [Channel State cycles](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/roadmap-q3-audited-epns-push-protocol-v1-is-here-f4560dfe550c): This feature allows a channel\u2019s state to be changed in the protocol. A specific channel can either have an inactive, active, deactivated or even a blocked state. Moreover, a channel\u2019s activities and capabilities in the protocol will also be highly dependent on the state of the channel,\\n- Addition or Removal of Delegate Notification senders: Yes, the whole procedure of Sending notifications to subscribers can now be delegated to any given wallet address. As per the current architecture of the protocol, a channel owner has the power to add any specific wallet address as a valid delegate for his/her channel, thus allowing the wallet to send notifications on his behalf,\\n- Verification of Channels through the smart contracts.\\n- Meta transaction for Subscribing, Unsubscribing Sending notifications, etc\\n\\nAlthough most of the MVP features are already in place, there will be quite significant upgrades to the EPNS smart contracts in the year 2022 as well.\\n\\n#### Functionality for Claiming Interests:\\n\\n- One of the most significant features of our smart contracts and perhaps much-awaited one is the claim interests functionality that allows the users to claim their incentives from the contract.\\n- While this feature was initially planned for just the channel owners as well as subscribers in the EPNS contract, it is now being designed to distribute rewards among all $PUSH Token Holders. The incentives shall be in the form of $PUSH tokens themselves.\\n- This entire claim procedure shall be a part of the EPNS Core contracts and will be included very soon.\\n\\n#### On-Chain Governance Mechanism:\\n\\n- Since the launch of our EPNS Governance, it has been quite evident that EPNS wholeheartedly believes in the significance & power of a progressive decentralized governance system.\\n- While the EPNS community is actively participating in different governance frameworks like the Weekly Rockstar NFT, Grants program, etc, we shall have a similar procedure for the further development & upgrades of our smart contracts as well.\\n- As the EPNS Governance contracts have already qualified the entire security audit, the community shall soon be able to participate in the decision-making process for the inclusion of any new features in the contracts, upgrades of the contract to newer versions as well as the overall growth of the protocol.\\n- Moreover, some of the imperative functionalities of the current EPNS Core contract like blocking a channel permanently, verifying a channel, or revoking a channel\u2019s verification shall also be handled via the on-chain governance procedure itself.\\n\\n#### Wallet-to-Wallet Chat Functionality\\n\\n- As per our recent announcement, one of the super interesting features that we are planning to launch this year is the Wallet to Wallet Chat feature. This functionality is undoubtedly is one of its kind and we are planning to modify our EPNS Core and Comm contracts to ensure this feature can be used adequately.\\n\\n#### Designing EPNS Comm Contract for Non-EVM Chains:\\n\\n- Becoming blockchain agnostic demands equal attention to all the different types of chains that exist in the Web3 world.\\n- While EPNS smart contracts are specifically designed for EVM compatible chains at the moment, we shall soon initiate the design and development process of our smart contracts for non-EVM chains as well.\\n- Since the EPNS Communicator contract is supposed to be deployed on multiple chains, it is, by design, comparatively simpler than Core and does not rely on the core contract for any of its actions. Hence, we shall especially be focussing on designing the EPNS Communicator contract in order to make it ready for deployment across all different types of chains, including the non-EVM compatible chains.\\n\\nWe are making it easier for teams and individual contributors to make use of all these features to create solutions. A revamped version of the Showrunners Framework will be made available together with Integration Guides aiming to foster a healthy and creative developers community using EPNS as the building block for communication needs.\\n\\n### Progressive Decentralized Governance\\n\\n![Third Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nWe began the year 2021 with a firm belief in the fact that an effective Governance mechanism is one of the most crucial pillars for a decentralized protocol as well as the bridge that links and connects the community to the project. And it can undoubtedly be stated that we haven\u2019t left a single stone unturned in our journey to build a Progressive Decentralized Governance, ever since.\\n\\nHere\u2019s what we did so far when it comes to governance:\\n\\n- Since its inception in the month of September 2021, the Governance framework was launched with 3 imperative ways for the community to be involved, i.e., Weekly Rockstar NFT, Grants Program as well as Metagovernance.\\n- In order to ensure adequate coordination within the community to make better decisions, the initial phase of the governance was more about laying out the specific processes, rules as well as roles of governance.\\n- Moreover, we gradually shifted towards the use of Snapshot for a decentralized voting mechanism. Considering Snapshot\u2019s easy gasless voting mechanism as well as our weekly EPNS Rockstart program, we saw steady growth in the number of delegates and participants in the Governance.\\n\\nWhile these were just a few of the highlights from last year, the EPNS governance has much bigger and more interesting plans for 2022. True to those same themes, 2022 will bring to the Community additional contribution & reward streams and further $PUSH voting empowerment involving the EPNS ecosystem and protocol.\\n\\nThe goal of the governance team is to bring us ever closer to becoming a true DAO. In 2022 we\u2019ll deliver the following:\\n\\nEPNS On-Chain Governance Contracts: While the EPNS Governance contracts were already audited last year, we shall achieve one of our most crucial milestones this year with the launch of our governance smart contracts.\\n\\nWith the deployment of the EPNS Governance contracts, we shall be able to ensure that the community is capable of actively participating as well as contributing to the overall development of the smart contracts.\\n\\nMeta-Governance and DAO Partnerships: The process of \u201cDAO-ification\u201d requires a robust governance environment and we get closer to that goal every day.\\n\\nWe\u2019ll continue growing our Community, delivering the features wanted, and facilitating contributors to dedicate their talents to EPNS. One overall piece will be meta-governance, this means making our governance processes available to other communities outside our own and vice versa \u2014 giving $PUSH holders a greater voice in the web3 ecosystem.\\n\\nUnder this umbrella is partnering with other DAOs we identify as a community to be beneficial. That part is sort of intentionally vague because web3 collaboration is always changing and we want to evolve with it.\\n\\nGovernance Website & dApp: Additionally we shall also have a separate website specifically for the Governance procedure. This shall include all information regarding our governance. It shall allow our community members to create new proposals, vote on proposals, and also include our governance dashboard as well as other governance tooling integration.\\n\\n### Front-End Products\\n\\n![Fourth Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-4.webp)\\n\\nWe started 2021 with a very specific plan of providing effective user interfaces for our users to connect with our products and services. The three main UI components that we built last year were:\\n\\n- dApp (Decentralized Application)\\n- Mobile Apps (IOS & Android)\\n- Browser Extension\\n\\n#### dApp (Decentralized Application)\\n\\nWhile most of the foundational features for the dApp were already developed in Q1 of 2021 itself, we have included some really interesting as well as significant features for both Channels and Users, as well. For instance:\\n\\nFor Channel Owners:\\n\\n- A Channel Profile Page for every channel that includes all important details about a channel as well as crucial channel settings. Moreover, a specific channel\u2019s profile page shall only be accessible by the owner of the channel.\\n- The Addition or Removal of a Delegate is an imperative action that can only be taken by the owner of a particular channel. This shall allow channel owners to add any wallet address as a valid delegate to send the notification on the channel\u2019s behalf. Importantly, the channel owner can also a particular delegate at any given time.\\n- Deactivation of a Channel feature is a new feature that allows a channel owner to deactivate his/her channel. However, it\'s imperative to note that deactivation is an action that can only be performed by the owner of that channel while also allowing the channel owner to reactivate their channel whenever they want. The in-depth details about the deactivate channel feature can be found [here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/roadmap-q3-audited-epns-push-protocol-v1-is-here-f4560dfe550c).\\n- The [Channel verification badge](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/roadmap-q3-audited-epns-push-protocol-v1-is-here-f4560dfe550c) feature is now also live on the dApp. This is a really interesting feature that not just assigns a verification badge for channels and aligns them in a better position in the UI but also allows the verified channels to verify other unverified channels.\\n\\nFor Subscribers\\n\\n- Gasless Subscribe or Unsubscribe is perhaps one of the most significant and useful features that we implemented in the dApp. This allows an incredibly smooth as well as a zero-cost opt-in procedure for the users. Subscribing to a channel is now as simple as just signing the transaction with your wallet address without the need to pay any gas.\\n- Channel Search Bar in the dApp now allows users to look out for any channel that they want and opt-in easily.\\n\\n#### What\u2019s Next for the dApp?\\n\\nNow that we have the basic and important features in place already, this year we are planning to add quite significant ones to enhance the user experience on the dApp. Some of them being:\\n\\n- Redesigning of the dApp UI: To begin with, the [EPNS dApp](https://app.epns.io/) shall soon have a brand new UI design with a comparatively better experience for users. Since we already have started working on our new interface, we might have the new UI ready by Q1 of this year itself.\\n- Notification settings for Users and Channels: One of the most significant features that shall be launched this year is the notification setting for both users and channels.\\n When it comes to notifications, a specific channel might have different types of notifications. While some notifications deal with the Governance updates of that channel, others might be related to the loan liquidations. Now with Channel notification settings, the channel owner shall be able to provide specific notification options to its users depending on the different kinds of notification a channel might have to offer.\\n\\nOn the other hand, notification settings for users shall allow users to be capable of being selective in terms of the notifications that they receive. Users will be able to precisely select only those notification options from a channel that they are interested in.\\n\\nIn other words, a user only interested in the governance proposals of a particular channel shall not receive other types of notifications from that channel despite being a valid subscriber of the channel.\\n\\n- The dApp will also include a feature that allows editing or modifying a Channel\u2019s Detail. This, however, shall only be doable by the owner of that channel.\\n- Search and Filteration of Notifications shall also be included in the dApp to simplify the process of searching for a particular notification.\\n\\n#### Mobile App\\n\\nQuite similarly to the dApp, our mobile apps have also come a long way now. While the early stages had only some of the initial important features on the apps, we have included quite a lot of significant features in the last year and modified our apps. Some of those features are as follows:\\n\\n- Channel Discovery feature was added, which allows users to look at all the channels associated with EPNS.\\n- The Spam Box feature on our mobile apps ensured that the Spam notifications never entered the inbox of a user.\\n- Quite importantly, the Wallet Connect sign feature was enabled in the mobile app to ease the sign-in process.\\n- Moreover, the Opt-in feature was included in the mobile app. This allowed users to subscribed to their favorite channels right from their mobile.\\n\\nThis year, we are planning to add the following features to the mobile app:\\n\\n- Support sign-in with multiple wallets so that the users can receive notifications for all their wallet addresses in one single place.\\n- Filters and search options for the channels list.\\n- Options to mute notifications for a specific time\\n- Visualizations for multi-chain notifications.\\n- Provide richer notifications for channels.\\n\\n#### Browser Extension\\n\\nWhile we already have the Browser Extension in place and completely functional now, this year we are planning on providing a richer and better UI design for the EPNS extension to ensure its on-pair with all other front-end product capabilities where it makes sense.\\n\\n### PUSH Nodes (Retrieval & Dispatch)\\n\\n![Fifth Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-5.webp)\\n\\nPush Nodes can undoubtedly be stated as one of the most crucial components in our journey towards becoming a true reliable communication layer for the Web3 world.\\n\\nLast year we included the following features in our Push Nodes:\\n\\n- Off-Chain Notification\\n- Spam Feature\\n- Support for Polygon Notification\\n- Using local IPFS instance\\n- S3 Bucket Backup\\n\\nWhile some of the very significant features of the Push Nodes were already built last year, this year we are planning to make our Push Nodes more powerful and effective. Some of the critical features that we are planning for the year 2022 are as follows:\\n\\n- Decentralization of Push Nodes: While there is no denying the fact that our aim is to become a blockchain agnostic communication layer, we also understand that decentralization of our Push Nodes is unquestionably one of our top priorities. This is why we have tasked ourselves to decentralize the push nodes this year and achieve our goal of becoming a truly decentralized middleware solution.\\n Decentralization of our push nodes is going to be a very imperative step towards becoming blockchain agnostic as this ensures higher scalability, stronger support for Layer 2 solutions as well enhanced performance, etc.\\n\\nMoreover, along with the decentralization of our nodes, we shall also be implementing an effectual incentive mechanism for our active participants.\\n\\n- User and Channel Notification settings: As previously mentioned, the notification settings for both users and channels are one of the much-awaited features that we shall introduce this year.\\n\\nWhile our audited EPNS Core and EPNS Comm smart contracts already have the notification settings functions for both channels & users respectively, one of our important tasks this year is to ensure our push nodes are ready to support this feature.\\n\\n- Wallet-to-Wallet Chat feature: The wallet-to-wallet chat feature is one of those super interesting features that the community is really looking forward to. Therefore, effectively enabling our push nodes to support this feature is one of the major tasks we are planning to work on by the Q3 of the year 2022.\\n- Multi-chain support: Since the EPNS smart contracts are already designed keeping in mind our vision of becoming blockchain agnostic, we also plan to ensure that our Push nodes are capable of handling multi-chain support. While we are already on the Ethereum blockchain, we will very soon launch our contracts on different chains like Polygon, BSC, etc. The year 2022 will not just witness the EPNS Contract on EVM compatible chains but also on non-EVM compatible chains like Solana.\\n\\nAdditionally, we are also planning to provide an analytics dashboard for Push Nodes\\n\\n#### Technical Documentation\\n\\n![Sixth Image of Roadmap 2022](./image-6.webp)\\n\\nWhile we have been more inclined towards developing different components of our product, we are quite aware of the significance of effectual documentation.\\n\\nThis year, we are also planning to roll out extensive technical documentation as well as guides for both developers and users. Along with publishing new documentation we shall also be updating our previous technical documents, whitepaper and ensure that they are up-to-the-minute with all the latest changes.\\n\\nSome of the crucial topics that we are planning to cover this year are as follows:\\n\\n\\n- Documentation on Back-end SDK\\n- Documentation on Front-end SDK\\n- Tutorial for Using Backend-SDK to Set-Up notifications for a channels\\n- Tutorial for Using Frontend SDK to integrate EPNS on a specific Protocol\u2019s dApp\\n- Detailed description and explanation of CLAIM Functionality and incentive mechanisms of our EPNS Core smart contract\\n- Detailed Explanation on W2W Chat Feature.\\n\\n\\nWith these plans for the product\u2019s roadmap 2022, we have started this year with utmost belief and commitment to our mission of providing an effective and reliable communication layer for the Web3 world.\\n\\nIf you have any comments or questions please feel free to reach out to us on telegram or check out our website for more details: https://epns.io/"},{"id":"buidl-w-epns-ideas-to-hack","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/buidl-w-epns-ideas-to-hack","source":"@site/blog/2022-04-20-buidl-w-epns-ideas-to-hack/index.md","title":"BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!","description":"BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!","date":"2022-04-20T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 20, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Hacking","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/hacking"},{"label":"Development","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/development"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Solidity","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/solidity"}],"readingTime":4.35,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"buidl-w-epns-ideas-to-hack","title":"BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!","description":"BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS (Ethereum Push Notification Service) is calling all developers to work with us to build on top of our protocol","tags":["Hacking","Development","Ethereum","Blockchain","Solidity"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"EPNS Roadmap 2022","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-roadmap-2022"},"nextItem":{"title":"Devconnect 2022: EPNS is all set to meet you!","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/devconnect-2022-epns-is-all-set"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nEPNS (Ethereum Push Notification Service) is calling all developers to work with us to build on top of our protocol\\n\\n**What\u2019s Up ETHAmsterdam?**\\n\\nCalling all Developers to BUIDL on EPNS Protocol!\\n\\nAmsterdam! Wow! So great to be in one of the coolest cities of Europe and having to meet some of the most amazing, coolest and rockstar BUIDlers of Web3! We shared our entire plan at Devconnect in our blog [**here**](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/devconnect-2022-epns-is-all-set-to-meet-you-e5dbd3d16e96)!\\n\\nThough shortly afterward, a lot of folks reached out asking about what we would want to see built on top of EPNS protocol for the prize pool we are hosting at [**ETHAmsterdam**](https://amsterdam.ethglobal.com/) between **22nd-24th April 2022**\\n\\nWell, the answer to this is whatever you\u2026 the cool dev wants to buidl is what we want! But here are some cool ideas to get your creative juice flowing! Of course, We have some cool prizes and swags for each one of you, scroll to the bottom in case you want to learn about that!\\n\\n# Quick rundown of EPNS\\n\\n**Ethereum Push Notification Service (EPNS)** is the world\u2019s first decentralized communication & notification protocol for Web3. Using the protocol, any smart contract, dApp or backend can send on-chain or off-chain notifications tied to wallet addresses of a user in a multichain, open, platform agnostic way. Being an open communication middleware, notifs can be integrated and shown on any crypto wallet, mobile apps, extension or dApps.\\n\\n# Ideas to Buidl. Solve. Conquer.\\n\\nAs the blockchain ecosystem has evolved into a composable, multi-chain network, native Web3 communication is growing more and more necessary for user experience, developer operations, investor security, protocol architecture, and a lot more.\\n\\nToday\u2019s methods of communication between and among Web3 users and companies \u2014 dominated by Twitter, Discord, and Telegram \u2014 give rise to poor UX, scams, and sub optimal communication. Among some of the most pressing issues: smart contract version releases are missed, liquidation thresholds are not warned, NFT drops are forgotten, and vulnerabilities aren\u2019t communicated well.\\n\\nThe result is a fractured and siloed approach towards communication in the blockchain ecosystem, making room for an optimised, Web3-native solution. EPNS is created to fix this! This is how:\\n\\n**Integrate EPNS to your dApp and improve UX for all Web3 users**\\n\\n- This is probably the easiest, As EPNS is a communication layer, the best and quickest way to get this going is to integrate EPNS in your dApp via our frontend **sdk & tutorial** here\\n- This will not only improve the user experience for your dApp as users can now instantly see all their notifications across all their activities that they have opted in for but it also vastly improves the entire UX of the Web3 space.\\n\\n**_Screen1_**_\\\\- User is connected to their wallet and has loaded their dApp._\\n![First image of BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n**_Screen2_** _\u2014 User sees the EPNS notifications if they are subscribed to any channels in a sidebar which comes on the click on the bell icon._\\n![Second image of BUIDL w/ EPNS: Ideas to hack the future of #Web3Comm!](./image-2.webp)\\n\\n**Create your dApp / protocol channel and send notifs**\\n\\n- So, you already integrated EPNS but like to also improve the experience for your users. Well, this is where you can jump in and create your own channel (any service that sends notifications are called channels).\\n- After which you can easily start sending important notifications about your project directly to the wallet address in a gasless way.\\n- Whether you are creating DAO, DeFi, NFT, Metaverse or anything in between, having a direct form of communication tied to user\u2019s wallet address massively improves the experience of your dApp (and goes extremely well with the bell icon you have integrated)\\n\\nCheck out our [**Showrunners and Tutorials**](https://docs.epns.io/developer-zone/developer-guides/working-with-showrunners) here for more details\\n\\n**Create notifications channel for anything Web3**\\n\\n- A lot of projects and protocols are popular but still don\u2019t have notifications, you can build notifications for them, not only you get prizes for it but some amazing incentives are coming for the channels that are popular (though this is a different conversation). Some ideas that you can use if you want to build out a notif channel.\\n\\n**Web3Comm for DeFi**\\n\\nThe DeFi ecosystem is a landscape of constant innovation. We have seen an unprecedented amount of on-chain activity, prompting acute needs from users to keep on top of what is happening. EPNS is poised to accelerate the adoption of the DeFi ecosystem to meet the needs of users and dapps to keep up with rapid innovation.\\n\\nThis of course is one while most important we\u2019ve made quite a headway with a bunch of partners, however if you think you are able to renovate some of this, and build your own technology and have protocols that change the DeFi space for the better, we\u2019d definitely invite you to explore this side of things. Some of the things that EPNS can enable for DeFI protocols and their users is to solve critical DeFi problems as below..\\n\\n- Near Liquidation Alert (Borrowers & Liquidators)\\n- Staking Rewards Available to Claim (Stakers)\\n- Staking Rewards About to Expire (Stakers)\\n- Price Alerts (Traders)\\n- Stablecoin Peg Slippage (Arbitrageurs)\\n- Low Gas Cost (Devs, ETH Power Users)\\n- Rebalances (Token Set Users)\\n- Index Selection/Weighting Changes (Index Users)\\n- Token/Contract Migrations (Protocol Users)\\n- Governance Updates, Token Launches\\n- New Collateral Types on Money Markets\\n- New Liquidity Mining Incentives\\n- Yield Farming APY alerts\\n- Escrow Periods Ending / Tokens Coming Unlocked\\n\\nBesides these there are a ton of other applications that\u2019ll most Web3 users in terms of getting communication or help on notification for that are of important notifications across the board.\\n\\nHope these ideas are some that you find exciting to build, and if you do have any queries feel free to reach out to us on Twitter @epnsproject\\n\\n# **Let\u2019s talk prizes and our $1M grant!**\\n\\nFor those of you who don\u2019t know, ETHAmsterdam, then you might already know we have an exciting [**Prize Pool**](https://showcase.ethglobal.com/ethamsterdam/prizes) that\u2019s up for grabs!\\n\\n**PRIZE OVERVIEW \u2014 For ETHAmsterdam Hackathon**\\n\\n- **4x $500** for the best creation of channel/ Dapp/ use Frontend SDK in their Dapp.\\n- **2x $1,000** for the most creative use of Backend SDK / Smart Contract in your Dapp, web3, communication layer.\\n\\nBut that\u2019s not just it!

As such, Cryptex Finance will now be able to seamlessly interact with its users and keep them updated about the governance process and other happenings on the platform.\\n\\n# Tokenizing Total Crypto Market Cap\\n\\nThe total crypto market cap is one of the key metrics used to gauge the growth of the industry and is widely quoted by investors across the globe. In this regard, Cryptex Finance is a platform that aims to tokenize this key metric to allow investors to gain exposure to the price movements of the entire industry.\\n\\nThe platform introduces the world\u2019s finance total market cap token TCAP which is a fully backed and fully collateralized asset that accurately represents the total crypto market cap at all times. Investors can mint TCAP by creating a vault and adding collateral. Then, the token can be used just like any other token for trading, providing liquidity, and earnings yield farming rewards.\\n\\nThe platform is secured and managed by the holders of the governance token CTX, who steer the direction and the future growth of the platform. As such, Cryptex Finance can vastly benefit from a decentralized communication mechanism that allows the platform to keep users updated about the governance process, along with the status of their vault collaterals. This is where EPNS plays a pivotal role.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail?\\n\\nAs a result of this pilot collaboration, Cryptex Finance will have an official channel housed on the EPNS platform that once it goes live will allow users of Cryptex to subscribe to this channel to receive notifications whenever the collateral ratios in their vaults fall low and whenever new governance proposals are created for voting. Users can also expect to receive the voting results as push notifications once they are declared. This saves them the hassle of manually checking for all these updates and improves the user experience on the platform along with the participation rates.\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited to kickstart this integration with Cryptex Finance and hope to contribute to the growth of the platform.\\n\\n# **About Cryptex Finance**\\n\\nCryptex Finance is an Ethereum-based protocol that lets traders, funds, and DeFi users get exposure to the total crypto market capitalization.\\n\\n[Website](https://cryptex.finance/), [Blog](https://cryptex.finance/#news), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/cryptexfinance), [Telegram](https://t.me/cryptexfinance), [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/cryptex)"},{"id":"announcing-our-series-a","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/announcing-our-series-a","source":"@site/blog/2022-04-14-announcing-our-series-a/index.md","title":"Announcing Our $10.1 Million Series A!","description":"Announcing Our $10.1 Million Series A!","date":"2022-04-14T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 14, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Fundraising","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/fundraising"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Decentralization","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/decentralization"},{"label":"Announcements","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/announcements"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"}],"readingTime":2.66,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"announcing-our-series-a","title":"Announcing Our $10.1 Million Series A!","description":"Announcing Our $10.1 Million Series A!","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"We\u2019re proud to announce that EPNS has raised $10.1 million to continue building out the communication infrastructure for the decentralized future.","tags":["Fundraising","Web3","Decentralization","Announcements","Ethereum"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"EPNS Integration Underway to Enable Seamless Communication for Users Within the Cryptex Finance App","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-integration-underway-to-enable"},"nextItem":{"title":"EPNS and CoinDesk Announce Media Push Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-and-coindesk-announce-media-push-notifications"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of Announcing Our $10.1 Million Series A!](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n> We\u2019re proud to announce that EPNS has raised $10.1 million to continue building out the communication infrastructure for the decentralized future.\\n\\nToday, we\u2019re proud to announce that EPNS has raised a $10.1 million Series A funding round, with an average valuation of $131M. Jump Crypto led the round, with additional participation from Tiger Global, ParaFi, A.Capital, Sino Global Capital, Polygon Studios, Harmony Foundation, Wintermute, Zee Prime Capital, Woodstock, DCX Ventures, Alpha Wave Capital, Zebpay, TRGC, Signum Capital and iSeedVC. The Series A also included investments from Web3 leaders Andrew Keys of DARMA Capital, David Silverman of Aave Companies, Ajit Tripathi, Kane Warwick, Jordan Momtazi and Justin Moses of Synthetix, Aniket Jindal of Biconomy, Anton Bukov of 1inch, Sahil Dewan of Harmony, Mateo a Levy, Jerome de Tychey of Cometh and Ethereum France, Sam of Journal du Coin. The Series A round comes with either a 9 to 12 months cliff for each investor along with 24 months to 30 months vesting.\\n\\nWe will use the funding from the Series A to expand the team, grow the user base, and develop beyond the Ethereum ecosystem to stay true to the vision of a multi-chain, interoperable decentralized future. With a robust team, tech implementation and resources, EPNS will keep perfecting the protocol, building wallet to wallet communication in Web3, and enabling developers and wallets alike to integrate the protocol in the smoothest way possible.\\n\\nWhat an incredible milestone for EPNS \u2014 and so much of it is thanks to the support, engagement, and excitement of the community. You\u2019ve been with us from our earliest days of hackathons and grants to our token generation event, our seed funding announcement, mainnet launch, and now Series A. We\u2019re excited for what lies ahead, and we want to welcome you to join this next phase of the EPNS protocol and the improvement of Web3.\\n\\n**If you\u2019re new to EPNS, here\u2019s a quick rundown of why we\u2019re here.** As the blockchain ecosystem has evolved into a composable, multi-chain network, native Web3 communication is growing more and more necessary for user experience, developer operations, investor security, protocol architecture, and a lot more. Today\u2019s methods of communication between and among Web3 users and companies \u2014 dominated by Twitter, Discord, and Telegram \u2014 give rise to poor UX, scams, and suboptimal communication. Among some of the most pressing issues: smart contract version releases are missed, liquidation thresholds are not warned, NFT drops are forgotten, and vulnerabilities aren\u2019t communicated well. The result is a fractured and siloed approach towards communication in the blockchain ecosystem, making room for an optimized, Web3-native solution.\\n\\nStarting with Ethereum and growing to other networks, EPNS is building the native Web3 communication protocol to enable users to speak to one another on-chain. EPNS enables permissionless channel notification and channel subscription along two categories of users: Channels (individuals or companies that wish to issue communication) and Subscribers (individuals that opt-in to receive communication). Currently, EPNS is powering on-chain notifications for ENS (domain expiration), CoinDesk (media alerts), Snapshot (governance updates), Oasis (vault liquidation), and more. Since mainnet launch in mid-January, EPNS has powered 4 million notifications sent to over 44,000 subscribers. EPNS is working with over 80 projects including the likes of Uniswap, Decentraland, MakerDAO, Gitcoin, Polygon, ENS, dYdX, Bancor, Defiant, Coindesk, Aragon, Notional Finance, mStable, Snapshot and more!\\n\\n[**Come join us!**](https://angel.co/company/ethereum-push-notification-service) **|** [**Checkout EPNS**](https://app.epns.io/#/live_walkthrough)\\n\\n# **FAQs**\\n\\n**What\u2019s the token design / economics?**\\n\\nThe v1 $PUSH token economics [can be found here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/push-token-economics-d7f566c29b1a). The token design will evolve to also include v2 contract features (including wallet to wallet chat), [more info on those here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/epns-contract-v2-features-e7887fac72a6).\\n\\n**What\u2019s the token allocation and how does this affect the community?**\\n\\nTLDR; the raise doesn\u2019t affect the $PUSH community allocation, which is 53%. You can read about the [token allocation model here](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/announcing-the-epns-push-token-generation-event-4d1699e716f5#:~:text=The%20EPNS%20team%20is%20allocated,a%2048%20month%20vesting%20period.).\\n\\nThe new raise comes from carving unlocked allocation out from the Foundation, from advisors, and from Founders who have agreed to return their soon-to-be-uncliffed tokens for the benefit of the protocol. Furthermore, The tokens are cliffed and vested for each investor so the token allocation model improves as the unlocked supply gets locked again.\\n\\n**What are the terms for Series A investors?**\\n\\nWhile we cannot disclose the exact terms, all series A investors have a cliff of either 9 or 12 months and are vested for 24 to 30 months.\\n\\n**Why is the raise needed?**\\n\\nThis raise was extremely strategic for the EPNS protocol, as this marks the journey to go to multichain and replicate the traction and love we got from launching on Ethereum. The next step in this multichain journey is Polygon, followed shortly by Binance and Harmony.

As a result of this partnership, users of Decentraland will soon receive updates about their transactions through decentralized push notifications.\\n\\nIn the recent past, the metaverse went from being a sci-fi dream to a striking reality that is now unfolding rapidly. The development of blockchain technology and the possibility of a virtual economy powered by digital assets, acted as catalysts to this development, allowing developers to create virtual worlds and experiences, seemingly overnight. In this race toward the metaverse, Decentraland was the earliest and most popular project to bring fully immersive virtual experiences to its users.\\n\\n# Redefining Communication Within Virtual Worlds\\n\\nPowered by the Ethereum network, Decentraland is a community-owned, fully-immersive virtual world that users can experience and interact with. The platform is community-owned as it is fully decentralized and governed by its community of users through the Decentraland DAO. Users become a part of this virtual world as a digital avatar and are free to explore it and experience what it has to offer. Users also have the opportunity to own virtual real-estate in Decentraland and build and monetize their own environments upon it.\\n\\nDecentraland\u2019s virtual economy is powered by MANA, a ERC-20 token that serves as the currency within the virtual world. LAND and Estate hold the ERC-721 standard, representing parcels and merged parcels of digital land. Holders of the LAND essentially own a small part of the metaverse and are free to create experiences and applications in the Decentraland world. Other users can interact with these experiences, win and trade collectibles with fellow users, and even learn at the Decentraland University.\\n\\nGiven the sheer number of experiences and possibilities within this virtual world, it is only fitting for Decentraland to have a communication layer of its own through which it can keep its users apprised of the status of their Marketplace transactions. Through our pilot collaboration with the platform, we\u2019re keen on building this layer.\\n\\n_\u201cDecentraland is revolutionizing user interactions over the internet,\u201d_ says Harsh Rajat, co-founder of EPNS, _\u201cthe network effects of this platform can create massive online communities where users can play, explore, experience, and earn through their interactions with each other. In this regard, EPNS push notifications will serve as a communication layer within the virtual world, allowing users to constantly stay updated and engaged with its happenings. Much like Web2\u2019s social media notifications.\u201d_\\n\\n# What the Collaboration Entails\\n\\nAs a result of this pilot collaboration, Decentraland will have an official channel on the EPNS platform that users can subscribe to. This official channel serves as a communication medium that relays out important information as push notifications to all its subscribers as and when it happens. This reduces user dependence on external media and improves user experience and user engagement rates. Subscribers can expect to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- When a bid is offered on one of their NFTs\\n- When a bid is accepted\\n- When an order is executed\\n\\nSpeaking of the collaboration, the team at Decentraland said, \u201c_We\u2019re thrilled to form this pilot collaboration with EPNS. Having closely followed their developments and efforts to redefine communication in Web3, we believe EPNS would be a great addition for the Decentraland community, allowing them to be more reactive to what is happening._\u201d\\n\\nAs Decentraland continues to build immersive experiences for Web3, we\u2019re pleased to partner with them on their ambitious journey.\\n\\n# **About Decentraland**\\n\\nDecentraland is the first fully decentralized, Ethereum-based virtual world that is built, governed, and owned by its users. The ever-expanding metaverse is a truly unique ecosystem with its own currency, marketplace, system of property, and decentralized autonomous organization. In this richly detailed world, new creations, such as games, puzzles, artwork, and even whole environments, are added on a daily basis by members of the community. Users are free to explore and discover what Decentraland has to offer as digital avatars and attend live concerts, conferences, exhibitions, dance parties, and many other events that happen every day of the year. In Decentraland the possibilities are simply limitless, and there\u2019s always something to do and new people to meet.

Let\u2019s dive in and get a brief overview of each of the new features that we are working on.\\n\\n### 1. Channel Creation with $PUSH Token (instead of DAI)\\n\\nOne of the most crucial modifications in the new version of our smart contracts will be in the channel creation procedure.\\n\\nAs per the current contract design, in order to create a channel, the channel creator must deposit a sum of 50 DAI to the EPNS Core contract.\\n\\nHowever, with the deployment of the new version of the contract, the channel creation procedure will require the user to use the $PUSH token instead of DAI. The users shall now be able to create channels by depositing a minimum amount of 50 $PUSH to the protocol.\\n\\nThe usage of the $PUSH token for channel creation is one of the imperative steps in the direction of having more utility for our $PUSH token. The underlying channel creation mechanism in the smart contract, however, shall remain the same.\\n\\n### 2. Allowing PUSH Holders to CLAIM their rewards\\n\\nIt can be undoubtedly stated that the functionality for claiming rewards has been one of the most awaited features for our EPNS Core smart contracts, and is probably the star function of our 2nd version of the smart contract.\u2b50\ufe0f\\n\\nIn order to provide some colors to it, the intention of claim functionality is to not just limit our users to receiving notifications but also allow them to earn and claim their rewards in $PUSH tokens for being active users of the protocol.\\n\\nBrief glance at the reward mechanisms\\n\\nThe 2nd version of our EPNS Core contract will come with some imperative modifications in the way rewards are generated and distributed among the participants.\\n\\nThe previous architecture of our EPNS Core contract involved the usage of the AAVE lending protocol for interest generation. As per the current version, whenever a new channel is created, the channel creation fees(DAI) deposited by the channel owner are being lent out to the AAVE\u2019s lending protocol. This ensures that the EPNS Core contract receives the aDAI tokens as interests.\\n\\nHowever, with the upgrade of the contract, this procedure for interest generation shall be changed. The new version of the contract shall not include any dependencies on AAVE\u2019s lending protocol. Moreover, as previously mentioned, the token used for the channel creation fee shall also be changed to $PUSH instead of DAI.\\n\\nUnlike the current contract structure, the 2nd version of the contract shall not deposit the channel creation fees to AAVE. Instead, a particular fraction of the $PUSH token that is to be used for channel creation, shall be stored in the fee pool of the contract.\\n\\nMoreover, while incentives were initially planned to be distributed only among the channel owners as well as subscribers, they shall now be claimable by every $PUSH Token holder. The amount of rewards claimable by a particular user shall rely on the holder weight of that particular user.\\n\\n
More details about the reward distribution mechanism of the EPNS Core contract shall be shared soon
\\n\\n### 3. Channel Owners will be able to UPDATE-EDIT their channel details\\n\\nThe new version of the EPNS core shall include the required function that allows a channel owner to edit his channel\u2019s details.\\n\\nBefore I dive deep into this feature, let\u2019s quickly understand what exactly do I mean by channel details.\\n\\nWhenever a channel is created from the dApp, the creator is required to pass 4 important parameters, i.e.,\\n\\n- Channel\u2019s Name\\n- Channel\u2019s Description\\n- Channel\u2019s Logo, and\\n- Channel\u2019s CTA\\n\\nOnce all these details are passed, they together form the channel\u2019s identity bytes, which are then stored on IPFS.\\n\\nHowever, as per the current implementation of our dApp, a channel cannot edit any of these details once the channel creation is successfully completed. While this leads to an unwanted scenario where any mistake done during channel creation cannot be rectified later, it also stops a channel owner to add or modify their pre-existing channel description, name, or logo\\n\\nHence, after a few internal discussions and taking in some valuable feedback from our community, we decided to resolve this concern and include the relevant functions in the smart contracts, to begin with.\\n\\nThe 2nd version of the EPNS Core contract shall have a function that allows, only the channel owner of a particular channel, to edit any specific detail about his/her channel.\\n\\nWait! There\u2019s a CATCH\\n\\nThe channel update function in the contract, however, comes with 2 crucial pointers and requirements.\\n\\n- \u26a0\ufe0f he NOTICE Sign \u26a0\ufe0f: Whenever a channel owner modifies any specific detail about his/her channel on the protocol, the channel shall appear with an additional note in the View Channels section of the DAPP UI. This note will inform the rest of the users as well as subscribers about the channel\u2019s old name or description.\\n- \ud83d\udcb0 Channel Edit Fees \ud83d\udcb0: Editing channel detail comes with fees. A channel owner who wishes to update his channel detail later must deposit pre-defined fees in the protocol in order to be able to edit their channel description, name, or logo. Most importantly, this fee shall keep increasing every time the channel owner makes a new edit in his/her channel details.\\n\\nThe Rationale Behind\u2026\\n\\nIn order to understand the above-mentioned details in a better manner, it\'s best to get some clarity on the reason behind those two procedures.\\n\\nIdeally, editing and modifying channel details repeatedly is not a behavior that should be encouraged. Editing and modifying channel details give the power to any malicious channel owner to change the name of their channel to a more popular defi or governance channel, in order to gain subscribers and this shall be a wrong practice.\\n\\nThe above-mentioned procedures allow the users and subscribers to get a clear and transparent detail about a channel\u2019s old details, even if the channel owner changes it later.\\n\\nMoreover, the strict requirement of fees for editing channel details and increasing the fees with every new edit penalizes and discourages the channel owner to edit important channel details time and again.\\n\\n### 4. Functionalities for Wallet-To-Wallet Feature\\n\\nThe Wallet-to-Wallet (W2W) chat feature is one of our major milestones of this year and an incredibly interesting feature for the entire Web3 world.\\n\\nThe new version of our smart contracts shall also include the crucial functions in order to implement this feature adequately in our protocol.\\n\\nAs per the current discussions & plans around this feature, any user shall be able to use the wallet to wallet, chat feature on our protocol, with a particular number of addresses. However, if the user wishes to expand his/her boundaries for W2W interaction, they can choose to activate themselves on our EPNS Smart contracts by depositing a specific sum of $PUSH Tokens.

On-Chain Governance \u2014 a major step towards our Progressive Decentralized Governance\\n\\nSince the launch of our EPNS Governance, it can undoubtedly be stated that EPNS wholeheartedly believes in the significance & power of a progressive decentralized governance system.\\n\\nConsidering the current scenario, while the EPNS community is actively participating in different governance frameworks like the Weekly Rockstar NFT, Grants program, etc, we shall have a similar procedure for the further development & upgrades of our smart contracts as well.\\n\\nAs it has already been shared with the community that during the [last security audit by ChainSafe](https://epns.io/EPNS-Protocol-Audit2021.pdf), the EPNS Governance contracts were also audited and qualified for the entire security audit procedure.\\n\\nTherefore, one of the most significant plans for this year\'s roadmap items is to initiate our On-Chain governance procedures. This shall ensure that the EPNS community will be capable of participating in the decision-making process for the inclusion of any new features in the contracts, upgrades of the contract to newer versions as well as the overall growth of the protocol.\\n\\nMoreover, some of the imperative functionalities of the current EPNS Core contract like blocking a channel permanently, verifying a channel, or revoking a channel\u2019s verification shall also be handled via the on-chain governance procedure itself."},{"id":"epns-collaborates-with-tokenbrice","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-collaborates-with-tokenbrice","source":"@site/blog/2022-04-07-epns-collaborates-with-tokenbrice/index.md","title":"EPNS Collaborates With TokenBrice to Bring Decentralized Push Notifications to Readers","description":"EPNS Collaborates With TokenBrice to Bring Decentralized Push Notifications to Readers","date":"2022-04-07T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 7, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"}],"readingTime":1.3333333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-collaborates-with-tokenbrice","title":"EPNS Collaborates With TokenBrice to Bring Decentralized Push Notifications to Readers","description":"EPNS Collaborates With TokenBrice to Bring Decentralized Push Notifications to Readers","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS and the DeFi-focused educational blog TokenBrice join hands in a strategic collaboration to bring decentralized push notifications for readers.

Today we\u2019re happy to share that this offer will be available to a wider set of users for a longer period of time. Details below.\\n\\n- Reduced minimum token holding for eligibility from 250 $PUSH to 100.\\n- The eligibility period has been extended for the whole month of April.\\n\\nAll other details will remain the same as of now.\\n\\n## Vote Delegation\\n\\nVote delegation is a novel feature that is enabled in the PUSH token contract, keeping in mind the idea to grow a strong community that acts in the best interest of the protocol. `PUSH` allows its token holders to **delegate** their voting rights to an address of their choice.\\n\\nVote delegation is creating a strong barrier for the majority of token holders as it requires ETH to cover gas-fee to execute the `delegate` on-chain transaction.\\n\\nAs the DAO landscape is going through immense experimentation and innovation to address the pressing problems, we came up with the **Gasless Vote Delegation** feature as a solution to voter apathy. We launched the feature a month ago and would like to share our insights and feedback received since its release.\\n\\n## Gasless Delegation\\n\\nThe goal of this initiative is to make voting an accessible activity to every PUSH token holder. Holders currently have a few ways to activate their voting power, and many of those ways are already incentivized with users receiving $PUSH token rewards!\\n\\nWith this feature token holders can delegate their voting power, free of gas cost. From our PUSH Governance dashboard, a token holder would just have to sign the delegate transaction.\\n\\nAs this feature rollout was an experiment, we took precautions from exploitations by enabling few barriers.\\n\\n- This feature is accessible to everyone holding at least 250 PUSH.\\n- A unique wallet address would be able to use the gasless delegation feature once in 7 days.\\n\\n## How to implement Gasless Vote Delegation\\n\\nAfter the implementation of the Gasless Vote Delegation, we see this to be a much better delegation architecture for holders than them delegating votes on-chain. Hence we are releasing this article & making the repositories public so that any DAOs out there could explore & implement the feature without much difficulty.\\n\\n**A high-level overview of the steps involved for a delegator**\\n\\n1. Click on _Delegate_ from [Push Governance Dashboard](https://incentives.epns.io/)\\n2. Sign the delegate parameters needed for _delegateBySig_ contract function\\n3. The backend verifies the signature by leveraging EIP712 & does the backend checks.\\n4. The backend wallet pays for the transaction.\\n\\nEIP-712 is a more advanced and safer signature method. It is a standard for hashing and signing typed structured data. Gasless delegation is implemented using EIP-712.\\n\\n## How the frontend works\\n\\n[Frontend repository](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-incentives-dapp)\\n\\n1. Sign the delegate parameters needed for _delegateBySig_ contract function\\n\\n```\\nconst domain = {\\n name: contractName,\\n chainId: chainId,\\n verifyingContract: contractAddress\\n}const types = {\\n Delegation: \\\\[\\n { name: \\"delegatee\\", type: \\"address\\" },\\n { name: \\"nonce\\", type: \\"uint256\\" },\\n { name: \\"expiry\\", type: \\"uint256\\" },\\n \\\\]\\n}const value = {\\n \'delegatee\': newDelegatee.toString(),\\n \'nonce\': nonce.toString(),\\n \'expiry\': expiry.toString()\\n}signature = await signerObject.\\\\_signTypedData(domain, types, value);\\n```\\n\\n2\\\\. Check whether the gasEstimate for the transaction is less than or equal to GAS_LIMIT.\\n\\n```\\nconst gasPrice = await EPNSCoreHelper.getGasPriceInDollars(library);\\nconst totalCost = gasPrice \\\\* gasEstimate;\\nif(totalCost > GAS\\\\_LIMIT){\\n return \\"Gas Price is too high, Please try again in a while.\\"\\n}\\n```\\n\\n3\\\\. Call the Delegate API\\n\\n```\\nawait postReq(\\"/gov/gasless\\\\_delegate\\", { delegator: account, signature: signature, delegatee: delegatee, nonce: nonce.toString(), expiry: expiry })\\n```\\n\\n## How the backend works\\n\\n[Backend repository](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-incentives-backend)\\n\\nOnce the incentives frontend triggers the Delegate API, the following conditions are checked before proceeding to pay for the delegation from the backend wallet.\\n\\n1. ETH balance of the backend wallet must be greater than the WALLET_THRESHOLD\\n\\n```\\nbalance > WALLET\\\\_THRESHOLD\\n```\\n\\n2\\\\. PUSH Balance of the delegator must be greater than the PUSH_THRESHOLD\\n\\n```\\npushBalance > PUSH\\\\_THRESHOLD\\n```\\n\\n3\\\\. The delegator must not have attempted the Gasless Delegation feature in the past 7 days.\\n\\n```\\ndays > 7\\n```\\n\\nOnce these conditions are met, the delegation transaction is initiated from the backend wallet.\\n\\n1. Split the signature and extract v, r & s\\n2. Initiate the _delegateBySig_ contract call\\n\\n**Note:** We released this feature on an experimental basis. Please DYOR before implementing this feature."},{"id":"the-all-new-epns-dapp-ui","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/the-all-new-epns-dapp-ui","source":"@site/blog/2022-04-05-the-all-new-epns-dapp-ui/index.md","title":"The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here","description":"The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here","date":"2022-04-05T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"April 5, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Dapps","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/dapps"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"}],"readingTime":4.096666666666667,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"the-all-new-epns-dapp-ui","title":"The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here","description":"The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Q1 has ended and we\u2019ve made significant progress in our roadmap items during this first quarter of 2022!\\nWe planned quite a few essential tasks for the QA of 2022, but, the most interesting and crucial one was the redesign of our dApp UI.","tags":["Ethereum","Web3","Dapps","Blockchain","Newsletter"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"How to Implement Gasless Vote Delegation \u2014 A novel feature for Governance","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-to-implement-gasless-vote"},"nextItem":{"title":"Roadmap 2022 \u2014 Q1 Wrap up","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/roadmap-q1-wrap-up"}},"content":"import { ImageText } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\nQ1 has ended and we\u2019ve made significant progress in our roadmap items during this first quarter of 2022!\\n\\nWe planned quite a few essential tasks for the QA of 2022, but, the most interesting and crucial one was the redesign of our dApp UI.\\n\\nAnd viola!\\n\\nWe are really excited to announce the release of our **brand new User Interface.**\\n\\n![First image of The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nChannel Dashboard in the new user interface\\n\\nAfter a few internal discussions and taking in some valuable community feedback, our dev team has worked real hard on redesigning the dApp interface to enhance the user experience and provide some really effective features at the same time.\\n\\nLet\u2019s dive-in, in and get a brief idea of what\u2019s new in the dApp and explore some of its cool features.\\n\\n## TLDR;\\n\\nSome of the important new features in the dApp are as follows:\\n\\n**a. Merge of Incentive dApps**\\n\\n**b. Merge of Governance Section**\\n\\n**c. Notifications Search and Filter**\\n\\n**d. The Developers Section**\\n\\n**d. Dynamic User journey**\\n\\n**e. Olvy Integrations for announcements & releases**\\n\\n**f. A specific section for the SPAM Box**\\n\\n**g. The In-Demand & Beautiful DARK Mode theme \ud83c\udf17**\\n\\n**h. Beautified and Enhanced UX design**\\n\\nWhile these are the features that are currently available on the main EPNS dApp, there are a couple of more really interesting ones that are in the works and will be launched eventually.\\n\\n## The Merge of Governance & Incentives dApp\\n\\nWith our new UI, the navigation experience through our multiple other dApp is now a lot more effective.\\n\\nAlso, the EPNS dApp now includes the Governance section and allows a user to seamlessly navigate and _explore the EPNS governance world, check their voting power or initiate the voting delegation process to other community members, etc._\\n\\nSimilarly, users can now interact with the incentives dApp as well, right from the main EPNS dApp without the need to switch between multiple tabs on your browser.\\n\\n## Notification Search & Filter\\n\\nNotifications are important, undoubtedly. However, given the fact that the _Web3 world never sleeps \ud83d\ude00,_ there could be a scenario where your inbox is loaded with different notifications.\\n\\nTherefore, in order to provide additional power to the users and make their lives much easier, the new user interface also comes with a notification search and filter option.\\n\\n![Second image of The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nNotification Search and Filter\\n\\nThis feature enables the user to search for very specific notifications they would like to see.\\n\\nAdditionally, the UI provides the users with different kinds of filters that they can easily apply to their notifications.\\n\\n- **_Notifications based on Channels:_** This allows the users to search for notifications that were sent out by a particular channel.\\n- **_Search by keyword:_** With this filter in place, users can directly search for any notifications based on keywords within a specific notification.\\n- **_Start Date_:** Notifications can be filtered out from any given start date.\\n- **_End Date_:** Notifications can be filtered out from any given end date\\n\\n## Inbox VS Spam Box\\n\\nUnlike the previous user interface, the new one has specific sections for your **inbox** and **spambox** respectively.\\n\\nMost of you might already know, that the notifications from channels that a user is not subscribed to shall land in the Spam Box. This spam box shall now be a different page where all notifications from unsubscribed channels could be seen.\\n\\nHowever, the spam box shall also include an opt-in button for every notification which technically allows the user to opt-in to a channel, even from a spam box, if they find the notifications useful or interesting.\\n\\n![Third image of The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here](./image-3.webp)\\n\\n## Developer Section\\n\\nWhile the creation of a channel is an important step for you to set up your service and start sending notifications, it\'s not a mandatory step. A user who is simply interested in receiving notifications of the web3 world is only required to opt-in to his/her favorite channel and that\u2019s it.\\n\\nTherefore, in order to avoid confusion on this specific part, the new interface shall include a separate section for services and developers to set up their channels.\\n\\nMoreover, the developer section, as of now, shall include 3 important parts:\\n\\n- **_Main Channel Creation page_**: This shall be the main channel creation page where the users will have to deposit the required amount and pay for the gas(_the real ether \ud83d\ude00_). Channel creation on this page shall ensure that your channel is now created in the production environment and is live on the EPNS Core smart contract.\\n- **_Test Channel Creation page_**: However, in order to get a clear understanding of how the channel creation process works, the developer section of the dApp shall also include a test channel page. This shall not be connected to Ethereum mainnet but with the Kovan testnet and hence no real fees shall be involved in the process. Hence, this can be used as a test playground to understand the different steps involved in channel creation. Once the developer is confident enough, they can go ahead and create a real channel on the main page.\\n- **_Developer Docs_**: Documentation can be of great help to get a better understanding of any piece of software. Hence, the developer section, being comparatively more technical than all other sections of the dApp shall also include the developer documentation link.\\n\\n![Fourth image of The All-New EPNS Dapp UI is finally here](./image-4.webp)\\n\\nDeveloper Section in dApp\\n\\n## Dynamic User Journey\\n\\nNavigating through a decentralized application can be tough, and we certainly understand that.\\n\\nKeeping this in mind, we have included an extensive and dynamic user journey in our new dApp. Starting from basic introductions to receiving notifications on your device, this walk-through feature shall guide you through all of it.\\n\\nAlthough our user interface is minimalist and incredibly simple to navigate, the user can choose to go through this dynamic user journey as much as they to get a better understanding of what each component of the dApp does.\\n\\nThis is also built, considering the fact, that not every user is a web3 expert and we wholeheartedly want to enhance the user experience of new web3 users with our simple and intuitive dApp design.\\n\\n## Olvy Integrations\\n\\nAs an additional feature, we also included the Olvy integrations with both of our dApp, i.e., [prod](https://app.epns.io/) and [staging](http://staging-app.epns.io/).\\n\\nEvery new release, announcement, and important development shall now be beautifully shared via olvy and directly appear on the dApp itself.\\n\\n## The Dark Mode\\n\\nLast but not the least, the **Dapp** now has the incredibly beautiful dark mode as well.\\n\\n_I might be slightly more inclined towards the dark theme, but, who isn\u2019t?_\\n\\n# Wrapping it Up\\n\\nAll in all, I\u2019d like to say, this has been a great start to the new year!\\n\\nI mean given so many developments across the incentives and governance bit, being able to search and filter notifs better and of course the remarkable display and design updates!\\n\\nI think it has given an impetus to how we\u2019ve tried to better the overall experience and of course, we\u2019re looking to soar higher and higher from hereon!\\n\\nWe\u2019re excited about Q2!

Notional Finance is DeFi\u2019s leading fixed-rate protocol enabling users to borrow or lend at fixed rates for up to one year \u2014 with longer maturities coming soon.\\n\\n# How Will Notional Finance Users Benefit\\n\\nThanks to the new integration, an official channel on the EPNS platform will be created that Notional Finance users can easily subscribe to. Through EPNS\u2019 mobile application, decentralized application, or Chrome Extension, Notional Finance users can choose to receive notifications whenever:\\n\\n- **Their portfolio approaches liquidation**. This will allow users to decide if they want to add more collateral to their borrow position in order to avoid potential liquidations.\\n- **One of their loans reaches maturity**. This will allow users to actively decide if they\u2019d like to close their borrow before maturity or to actively roll it forward to the next maturity and thus avoid incurring any penalties.\\n\\nWith fixed rate borrowing and lending available to increasingly-longer periods, busy DeFi users may need an extra \u201cpush\u201d to remember important milestones and important liquidation levels. This integration fills this need and allows for an enhanced experience and peace of mind for Notional users.EPNS provides a reliable communication mechanism that delivers real-time loan updates to users while preserving anonymity and privacy. EPNS is happy to support Notional users on their investing journey and to collaborate with Shippooor DAO to bring this integration to life.\\n\\n# **About Notional Finance**\\n\\nNotional is a protocol on Ethereum that facilitates fixed-rate, fixed-term crypto-asset lending and borrowing through a novel financial instrument called fCash. Notional is now a top 10 DeFi lending protocol, with more than $500M in total value locked and $375M+ in loan volume.\\n\\n| [Website](https://notional.finance/) | [Blog](https://blog.notional.finance/) | [Docs](https://docs.notional.finance/notional-v2/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/NotionalFinance) | [Discord](https://discord.gg/UNawHBQxw6)\\n\\n# **About Shippooor DAO**\\n\\nShippooor DAO is a DeFi consulting firm built by shippooors for shippooors.

As such, users of the platform are poised to receive updates about everything Flipside Crypto right on their devices.\\n\\nBlockchain technology, as a pivotal part of the next industrial revolution, has been growing from strength to strength in the last decade. Today, this technology is the cornerstone for the crypto, decentralized finance, web3, and NFT-metaverse industries. And just like the internet, user interactions within the blockchain space create a large amount of user data. This data is an invaluable resource to understand consumer behavior within the industry to create user-centric blockchain applications going forward.\\n\\nHowever, in its current state, the blockchain industry lacks a reliable analytics and query protocol that developers can source their data from. Enter Flipside Crypto. This novel blockchain protocol has been making major strides in the crypto-analytics realm with community-driven, incentivized insights.\\n\\n# On-Demand Analytics Through Structured Bounty Programs\\n\\nFlipside Crypto is a community-driven crypto analytics platform that allows users to create and share data-backed insights for the projects that interest them. In doing so, the platform provides rich pre-modeled blockchain data that anyone can use to build futuristic applications for this emerging industry. On Flipside Crypto, developers can raise queries for the analytics and data they require about a platform and regular users of that platform can answer these queries with their unique insights.\\n\\nThese on-demand insights are incentivized through the platform\u2019s structured bounty programs based on feedback from the protocol in question and community members. This means that users who take time to learn about their favorite blockchain protocols can get paid to do so and eventually level up to become \u201cSQL Superstars\u201d.\\n\\nFlipside Crypto has already partnered with blockchain networks and protocols like Solana, ThorChain, and ParaSwap, among others to make their on-chain data easily available for use.\\n\\nNow, given the community-driven nature of the platform, it is vital for Flipside Crypto to have a robust communication mechanism through which it can constantly keep its users in the loop. And this is where the collaboration with EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail?\\n\\nThe collaboration aims to create an official medium of communication between the users and Flipside Crypto to help them communicate on important aspects of the protocol. Flipside Crypto will soon have an official channel on the EPNS platform that can be subscribed to. Users who subscribe to the channel will receive direct notifications from Flipside Crypto about any platform update, as and when it occurs.\\n\\nEPNS has a mobile application, decentralized application, and a chrome extension to ensure that users do not miss out on these notifications no matter what device they\u2019re on.\\n\\nAs Flipside continues to facilitate the growth of the blockchain space through rich data-driven insights on consumer behavior, we\u2019re pleased to collaborate with them on this journey and hope to become an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n# **About Flipside Crypto**\\n\\nFlipside provides Community Enabled Crypto Analytics, allowing our users to create and share data insights on the crypto projects they care most about. Through dashboard and visualization tools, as well as auto-generated API endpoints, data analysts can easily create queries that answer any question.\\n\\nStay in touch! | [Website](https://flipsidecrypto.xyz/) | [Blog](https://blog.flipsidecrypto.com/) |"},{"id":"epns-at-ethdenver-2022-a-throwback","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-at-ethdenver-2022-a-throwback","source":"@site/blog/2022-03-21-epns-at-ethdenver-2022-a-throwback/index.md","title":"EPNS at ETHDenver 2022: A Throwback","description":"EPNS at ETHDenver 2022: A Throwback","date":"2022-03-21T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 21, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethdenver","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethdenver"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Ethereum Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum-blockchain"},{"label":"Conference","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/conference"}],"readingTime":2.0633333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-at-ethdenver-2022-a-throwback","title":"EPNS at ETHDenver 2022: A Throwback","description":"EPNS at ETHDenver 2022: A Throwback","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Flipside Crypto, the project enabling communities to share data-driven insights on blockchain projects, joins forces with EPNS to bring decentralized push notifications to its users.

The protocol went live on [Ethereum Mainnet on Jan 11th](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/the-epns-mainnet-is-here-470faec0c01) and it now has 19 official channels by major projects in Web3 including ENS, MakerDAO, Coindesk and dYdX.\\n\\nAny service, protocol, or individual who wants to include the functionality to include notifications in their dApp could follow this guide. **In this post, we\u2019ve made it easy to learn how to get started.**\\n\\n# EPNS Integration\\n\\nThe initial step for EPNS integration is **channel creation**. Here is the [**step-by-step guide on how to create a channel**](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/getting-started-with-epns-ca2dd7f43329).\\n\\nOnce the channel is created, the channel owner could start sending notifications from the dApp and receive notifications on all of the EPNS platforms \u2014 dApp, Android App, iOS App, Browser Extension, and the users would have to subscribe on our dApp, but after this integration, you would be able to perform that very functionality on your dApp.\\n\\n# Integrating with the Frontend SDK\\n\\nFront-end SDK allows developers & protocols to integrate the notifications to their dApp or mobile app, we would specifically be focusing on the channel module of it.\\n\\nThis module comprises of three sub-modules majorly:\\n\\n- Opt in and out to a channel from the SDK\\n- Fetching the details of a channel by using it\u2019s address as an identifier.\\n- Find out if a user is subscribed to a channel.\\n\\nHere is how you can integrate your React Frontend Dapp with EPNS Decentralized notification service:\\n\\n**Step 1:** Install the npm package\\n\\n```\\nnpm install @epnsproject/frontend-sdk\\n```\\n\\n## Subscribing to the channel\\n\\n**Step 2:** Import the channels module from the package.\\n\\n```\\nimport { channels } from \\"@epnsproject/frontend-sdk-staging\\";\\n```\\n\\n**Step 3:** Define the required variables to make a request to fetch some notifications!\\n\\n```\\nconst { library, active, account, chainId } = useWeb3React();const signer = library.getSigner(account); //this could also be any entity which has a method \\\\`\\\\_signTypedData(domain, type, message)\\\\` which is capable of signing messages using eip 712.const channelAddress = \\"0x94c3016ef3e503774630fC71F59B8Da9f7D470B7\\"; //the address of the channel we want to op-in to or opt-out fromconst chainId = 1; //this is for the ethereum network, and can be any of out supported chains.const userAddress = \\"0x57c1D4dbFBc9F8cB77709493cc43eaA3CD505432\\";\\n```\\n\\nit is worth noting that the \\\\*signer\\\\* variable could be gotten through other means, for more information on the signer object, please refer to [this article.](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/#Signer)\\n\\n**Step 4:** Opt in-to or out-of the channel!\\n\\n```\\nconst epnsSubscribe = () => {\\n await channels.optIn(\\n [signer](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/),\\n channelAddress,\\n chainId,\\n userAddress,\\n {\\n onSuccess: () => \\"so something\\" // do something after success\\n }\\n )}\\nconst epnsUnSubscribe = () => {\\n await channels.optOut(\\n [signer](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/),\\n channelAddress,\\n chainId,\\n userAddress,\\n {\\n onSuccess: () => \\"do something\\" // do something after success\\n }\\n )}\\n```\\n\\n## Step 5:\\n\\nCheck if the user is subscribed to the current channel, in order to know if to subscribe to the user or unsubscribe them.\\n\\n```\\nconst \\\\[isSubscribed, setIsSubscribed\\\\] = useState(false);\\nchannels.isUserSubscribed(userAddress, channelAddress)\\n.then((res) => {\\n setIsSubscribed(res);\\n});\\n```\\n\\n## Putting it all together\\n\\n**Step 6:** Finally, we proceed to combine all the above into a coherent code.\\n\\n```\\nimport { useEffect, useState } from \\"react\\";\\nimport { useWeb3React } from \\"[@web3](http://twitter.com/web3)\\\\-react/core\\";\\nimport { channels } from \\"[@epnsproject/frontend-sdk-staging](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-sdk)\\";\\nimport ConnectButton from \\"./components/connect\\";\\nimport \\"./App.scss\\";const CHANNEL\\\\_ADDRESS = \\"0x94c3016ef3e503774630fC71F59B8Da9f7D470B7\\";function App() {\\n const { library, active, account, chainId } = useWeb3React();// create state components to fetch all the notifications.\\n const \\\\[isSubscribed, setIsSubscribed\\\\] = useState(false);// channel details\\n const \\\\[channel, setChannel\\\\] = useState(null);\\n // load channel details on start\\n useEffect(() => {\\n if (!account) return;\\n // on page load, fetch channel details\\n channels.getChannelByAddress(CHANNEL\\\\_ADDRESS).then((data) => {\\n setChannel(data);\\n });\\n // fetch if user is subscribed to channel\\n channels.isUserSubscribed(account, CHANNEL\\\\_ADDRESS).then((res) => {\\n console.log(res);\\n setIsSubscribed(res);\\n });\\n }, \\\\[account\\\\]);const epnsSubscribe = () => {\\n await channels.optIn(\\n [signer](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/),\\n channelAddress,\\n chainId,\\n userAddress,\\n {\\n onSuccess: () => \\"so something\\" // do something after success\\n }\\n )}\\nconst epnsUnSubscribe = () => {\\n await channels.optOut(\\n [signer](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/api/signer/),\\n channelAddress,\\n chainId,\\n userAddress,\\n {\\n onSuccess: () => \\"do something\\" // do something after success\\n }\\n )}return (\\n

It provides investors with the easiest, most efficient way of gaining exposure to a wide variety of assets and asset classes. The best part is that Float Capital does away with over-collateralization of assets and in turn avoids liquidation.\\n\\nInvestors on this protocol can use DAI to mint tokens for assets like cryptocurrencies, commodities, and equities, and create a position with ease. They can hold and gain exposure to a wide variety of assets while still avoiding the risk of actually holding them.\\n\\nIn this regard, it is pivotal for the platform to have a communication medium through which it can keep users updated about various opportunities in the market and this is where EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our collaboration with Float Capital, we aim to build an official channel of communication between the users and the platform. Users will soon be able to subscribe to this channel and in doing so, they can expect to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- There are changes in the market i.e., price changes and exposure changes\\n- New markets, new features, and new updates are added to the protocol\\n- There are gains or losses in investor positions\\n\\nThese notifications will enhance the user experience on the Float Capital platform and allow users to make the right investment decisions. We at EPNS are pleased to be on board with Float Capital and hope to be an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n# **About Float Capital**\\n\\nFloat Capital is a peer-to-peer, yield-enhanced, floating asset exposure mechanism.\\n\\nPut simply, Float is the easiest and safest way for users to buy magic internet assets. Users do not need to worry about over-collateralization, or suddenly getting liquidated. The vision of Float is to provide decentralized and trustless exposure to various asset classes.\\n\\nStay in touch!| [Website](https://float.capital/?chain=137) | [Blog](https://medium.com/@Float.Capital) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/float_capital) | [Whitepaper](https://media-float-capital.fra1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/public/FLOAT_CAPITAL_whitepaper.pdf)"},{"id":"push-govearnance-updates","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-govearnance-updates","source":"@site/blog/2022-03-17-push-govearnance-updates/index.md","title":"Push GovEARNance Updates & Engagement Rewards Campaign","description":"Push GovEARNance Updates & Engagement Rewards Campaign","date":"2022-03-17T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 17, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Governance","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/governance"}],"readingTime":2.6,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-govearnance-updates","title":"Push GovEARNance Updates & Engagement Rewards Campaign","description":"Push GovEARNance Updates & Engagement Rewards Campaign","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Since the governance launch in September 2021, a lot of things happened in EPNS: mainnet launch in January, new partnerships, new 2022 roadmap updated, and now a new rebranding in Governance!","tags":["Ethereum","Newsletter","Blockchain","Epnsproject","Governance"]},"unlisted":false,"prevItem":{"title":"EPNS Collaborates With Float Capital to Bring Push Notifications to Magic Internet Assets","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-collaborates-with-float-capital"},"nextItem":{"title":"Token-Gated Channel for Our Rockstar Community","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/token-gated-channel-for-our-rockstar-community"}},"content":"import { ImageText, VideoContainer } from \'@site/src/css/SharedStyling\';\\n\\n![Cover image of Push GovEARNance Updates & Engagement Rewards Campaign](./cover-image.webp)\\n\\n\x3c!--truncate--\x3e\\n\\n### Introduction\\n\\nSince the [governance launch](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/epns-governance-goes-live-lets-push-for-progressive-decentralized-governance-7448b58b89b4) in September 2021, a lot of things happened in EPNS: mainnet launch in January, new partnerships, new 2022 roadmap updated, and now a new rebranding in Governance!\\n\\nWe have been putting a lot of effort into creating a new face for the Governance so we can make it even easier to participate in building the future of web3 notifications.\\n\\nSince the beginning, EPNS has always taken community very seriously.

By focusing their unique talents however they saw fit, users could tag their submissions on Twitter with **#RockstarsofEPNS** for a chance to win the weekly prize and title.\\n\\nEvery week for the past year the Push Governance team (led by Miss Walter) chose 4 submissions weekly and then gave $PUSH holders the chance to vote on the nominees through our Snapshot voting page.

As a result of this collaboration, users are poised to receive decentralized push notifications directly to their devices when new airdrops are available to claim.\\n\\nFrom DeFi\u2019s very inception airdrop campaigns have been a foolproof way for businesses in the industry to market themselves. By sending out a share of their total token supply directly to the wallets of community members for free, businesses not only ensured active user participation but also gave them a way to benefit from the overall growth of the project. This novel marketing tactic is vastly successful within the DeFi industry and became a doorway for new users to enter this space without any initial investment.\\n\\nHowever, given the monumental growth of DeFi in the past couple of years, the industry is now swarming with thousands of new projects with vast potential. It is practically impossible for DeFi enthusiasts to keep a track of all available airdrop opportunities, and as a result, end up missing out on potential ones. This is precisely why Earnifi was built.\\n\\n### The Need for an Airdrop Aggregator\\n\\nEarnifi is an effective new DeFi tool that aggregates all available airdrops across different blockchain networks on a single platform to ensure that DeFi users do not miss out on any claim they might be eligible for. In a simple two-step process, the platform allows users to enter their wallet addresses and access all available claims in an instant.\\n\\nEarnifi has its wings spread across multiple major blockchain networks including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon, ensuring that users do not miss out on any opportunities in these budding ecosystems. As of now, Earnifi uses centralized email services to notify users about all these opportunities. However, given the obvious path towards decentralization, Earnifi has teamed up with EPNS to ensure direct communication with users without the need for centralized external media.\\n\\n\u201cWe are keen on ensuring decentralization in every aspect and as such, we believe that decentralized platforms need a decentralized communication system,\u201d says the team at Earnifi. \u201cEPNS successfully eliminates the need for DeFi protocols to depend on centralized solutions like mail or social media, while building direct communication between the protocol and users. We\u2019re thrilled about the collaboration and can\u2019t wait for our users to reap its benefits.\u201d\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough this pilot collaboration, EPNS and Earnifi are building an official decentralized communication medium between the platform and its users. Earnifi will have a verified channel on the EPNS platform. Subscribers of this channel will receive push notifications when new airdrops associated with their wallet address are available to claim. Given the limited timeframe for airdrops, a push notification service like this could ensure that eligible users claim their share before it\u2019s too late.\\n\\n\u201cEarnifi is a blessing in disguise for active DeFi users looking to get their hands on airdrop claims. The DeFi industry gives out millions of dollars in airdrops and without a proper communication channel, most of these opportunities go in vain. In this regard, EPNS through its collaboration with Earnifi ensures that users are constantly updated and can make the most of this opportunity,\u201d says Harsh Rajat, Co-founder of EPNS\\n\\nEPNS has a chrome extension, a decentralized application, and a mobile application to ensure that users do not miss these notifications on any device.\\n\\n# **About Earnifi**\\n\\nEarniFi was created by [DeFi Dawson](https://twitter.com/DawsonBotsford) and allows users to track a number of blockchains including Ethereum, [Binance Smart Chain](https://everybithelps.co.uk/binance-smart-chain-to-metamask//), [Polygon](https://everybithelps.co.uk/connect-polygon-to-metamask/) addresses for airdrops. Some airdrops will often have an expiration date and after which time, you lose the opportunity to claim your free crypto. However, Earnifi solves this by notifying users when they have an airdrop available to claim.

As a result of this collaboration, investors on RealT\u2019s platform will soon receive updates about upcoming sales, token delivery, and rent delivery. Additional use cases will be implemented along the way.\\n\\nAmong the many applications of the emergent blockchain technology, tokenization of real-world assets is the one that draws attention from the global markets. Indeed, tokens on the blockchain allow to store value and information in a secure and verifiable manner. Now, by leveraging this technology and attaching a real-world asset to it, it becomes easy to prove the value, ownership, and rarity of the asset.\\n\\nThis is especially useful in the real estate industry where there\u2019s limited transparency, the use cases for fraud, forgery, and duplicity of documents. By tokenizing real-estate on the blockchain, not only are these fraudulent practices eliminated but it also opens doors for anyone to invest in property globally. With this very aim launched RealT, the firm tokenizing a company which held the property as an asset.\\n\\n### Tokenized Real Estate\\n\\nAs mentioned before, RealT is a platform issuing security tokens that interact with DEFI projects. It essentially turns the ownership of property into digital tokens that retain all the legal rights and protections that are offered by traditional ownership. It opens up new dimensions in the world of real estate by allowing investors across the globe to tap into the US real estate market.\\n\\nRealT offers a specially curated list of properties to its community of users and they can invest as much or as little as they want. Token holders receive the rent through the blockchain and can sell anytime without any hassle. RealT\u2019s visions have been lauded by the market and the project has seen substantial success so far.\\n\\nWith the development of its ecosystem and different up-coming use cases, RealT wanted to bring decentralized push notification to its users. In this regard, RealT needs a proper communication channel that allows the platform to keep its users updated on different status of the coming sales, tokens and rent delivery. And through this collaboration, we aim to build this communication channel for RealT.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail?\\n\\nAs a result of our pilot collaboration, RealT will have an official channel on the EPNS platform. Users who choose to subscribe to this channel will get directly connected for seamless communication in a decentralized manner. They can receive push notifications about the various happenings on the platform.\\n\\nAs RealT continues to revolutionize the real estate industry, we are pleased to collaborate with them to ensure the smooth running of their processes in an effort to improve the network. We are hopeful that EPNS push notifications will become an integral part of the RealT network.\\n\\n# **About RealToken (RealT)**\\n\\nRealT is a platform which allows investors around the globe to buy into the real estate market through fully-compliant, fractional, tokenized ownership. RealToken reinvented traditional real estate ownership by providing investors a simple, intelligent, and user-friendly method to buy a property, leveraging the US legal system through an LLC or Inc structure. RealT establishes an LLC or Inc for each property, and tokenizes those interests into security offerings. Currently, RealT\u2019s real estate offerings are based in the US, but has plans in the near-term to expand globally."},{"id":"epns-introduces-gasless-march","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-introduces-gasless-march","source":"@site/blog/2022-03-03-epns-introduces-gasless-march/index.md","title":"EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.","description":"EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.","date":"2022-03-03T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"March 3, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Governance","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/governance"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Delegation","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/delegation"},{"label":"Ethereum Gas Fee","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum-gas-fee"}],"readingTime":4.3933333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-introduces-gasless-march","title":"EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.","description":"EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS and Earnifi, DeFi\u2019s newest airdrop aggregator platform, team up in a pilot collaboration to enable direct communication between users and the platform.

EPNS is going to cover gas fees for PUSH holders to delegate their votes on-chain.\\n2. Governance users then have immediate voting power to weigh in on the PIP (Push Improvement Proposal) for Reward Drop to Push Gov users, both existing & new.\\n3. Throughout the month of March, all users who take advantage of the Gasless period to delegate their tokens in Push Governance will be eligible for a 100 $PUSH Reward Drop. A total of 30 winners will be chosen randomly among all who delegate between March 2 \u2014 March 31.\\n\\nThe goal of this initiative is to make voting an accessible activity to every PUSH token holder. Users currently have a few ways to activate their voting power, and many of those ways are already incentivized with users receiving $PUSH token rewards! For those who prefer to delegate their votes over staking for yield, the gas fees incurred to do so are a consideration. This initiative will mitigate that fee for a large chunk of holders for a limited time.\\n\\nMore **\ud83d\udc47**\\n\\n# $PUSH Governance Voting Power \ud83d\udd14\ud83d\uddf3\\n\\nThe EPNS Community currently can take part in Push Governance by submitting a PIP (Push Improvement Proposal) or through the **Push Grants Program \u2014 now LIVE and accepting grant submissions** [**here**](https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/)**.** The formal voting for both is done on Snapshot where the [Push Voting Strategy](https://snapshot.org/#/strategy/push-voting-power) enables the following groups to vote:\\n\\n- $PUSH holders who delegate (to themselves or a Delegatee) on the [Push Governance delegation page](https://incentives.epns.io).\\n\\n![First image of EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.](./image-1.webp)\\n\\n- Users staking their $PUSH tokens or Uniswap LP stake tokens in either of the EPNS [Yield Farms](https://incentives.epns.io)\\n\\n![Second image of EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.](./image-2.webp)\\n\\n_We\u2019re thankful to these folks who have already activated their votes on-chain and haven\u2019t forgotten about them in this release (more below\ud83e\ude82)._\\n\\nAs of today, a majority of the total token holders (almost 90%) haven\u2019t activated their tokens to vote yet. This initiative aims to remove the largest barrier to entry for our holders so their token\u2019s utility is activated and their voting weight is enabled.\\n\\n# **Gasless Delegation\u274c\u26fd\ufe0f Specifics**\\n\\nFor a limited time, EPNS is going to cover the gas costs for a large group of these token holders who haven\'t delegated. This should make the ability to participate more accessible, by making it free!\\n\\nThe development team has been working on this behind the scenes and today opened up the [backend repo](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-incentives-backend) to the public. This feature release allows the EPNS project team to cover the gas fees for delegators when they initiate the transaction on-chain.\\n\\n> **_Who\u2019s eligible?_**\\n>\\n> Addresses holding at least 250 $PUSH or more.\\n>\\n> **_For how long?_**\\n>\\n> The program will be open initially for 30 days (Mar 2, 2022 \u2014 Mar 31, 2022)\\n>\\n> **_Transaction limits?_**\\n>\\n> One delegate transaction in 7 days per eligible address , gas fees cannot exceed $50 per delegation transaction\\n\\n## How to Delegate?\\n\\n1. Hop into [https://incentives.epns.io/](https://incentives.epns.io/) Push Governance dashboard\\n2. Select the way to delegate. There are 2 ways to delegate your PUSH votes. _Gasless_ or _With Gas._ The default way is _Gasless._ If you are not eligible for Gasless Delegation, you could still select _With Gas_ option and proceed to pay for gas yourself to do the delegation.\\n3. Clicking on `Delegate` button will pop Metamask.\\n4. **For _Gasless_:** \\n Sign the transaction. \\n Then our backend proceeds to pay for the transaction using EIP712. Please wait for a minute or 2 for the transation to become successful. \\n **For _With Gas_:** \\n Confirm the transaction.\\n\\n![Third image of EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nDelegate your PUSH votes Gaslessly or With Gas\\n\\nAs of today (at block **#14313131**) a total of 1,025 addresses are eligible to participate \u2014 which accounts for just over 25% of the nearly 4,000 $PUSH holders. Depending on the success of the first 30 days, the program duration and holdings eligibility may be reconsidered to include more users in this gasless offer.\\n\\n# Reward Drop \ud83d\udcb0\ud83e\ude82 Info\\n\\n![Fourth image of EPNS Introduces Gasless March\u2014 Gas-free $PUSH Delegation \u274c\u26fd\ufe0f & Reward Drop Proposal for Push Governance Community.](./image-4.webp)\\n\\n## PROPOSAL LIVE! [Gasless March & Governance Users Reward Drop](https://gov.epns.io/t/draft-proposal-gasless-march-and-governance-users-reward-drop/476)\\n\\n- Reimburse past tx fees of delegators\\n- Urge LP stakers to activate their token voting power\\n- 30 users who delegate during the Gasless March Gas-fee-free Delegation\\n\\nAs mentioned earlier, about 10% of holders have already made the transactions necessary to vote in Push Governance. These addresses include the delegators and Yield Farmers earning PUSH rewards in the EPNS staking pools. To the handful of active addresses who have already paid these ETH gas fees and aren\u2019t earning rewards, we\u2019ve proposed a retroactive PUSH distribution to reimburse these users.\\n\\nAnother small subset of users included in this reward drop will be the LP stakers on Uniswap that haven\u2019t activated their voting power. For these holders, the way to do that is to stake into our EPNS Yield Farms. The vast majority have done so, for the few that haven\u2019t, we expect this reward drop should cover their expense to execute that transaction.\\n\\nIn addition to these reimbursement rewards, and to promote taking advantage of the Gasless Delegation feature even further, we\u2019re offering the same reward drop to a lucky few of these users as well! Even users with **less than 250 $PUSH** who _didn\u2019t qualify_ _for this gasless delegation window_ **are eligible** for this bonus drop if they delegate their tokens during the gasless offer window.\\n\\nWhile making the delegation of PUSH voting power gasless (free) for many users over these next 30 days we wanted to give users one additional incentive to drive usage of this initiative. Make it easy, make it free, and include rewards to participate\u2026 these are the steps we\u2019re taking to increase participation and combat voter apathy.\\n\\n> **_Who\u2019s eligible?_**\\n>\\n> Users that delegated prior to snapshot, either to themselves or a Delegatee\\n>\\n> Uniswap LP providers that have not activated their voting power by staking to our EPNS Yield Farms\\n>\\n> 30 random users chosen among all those that delegate their votes over the next 30 days (Mar 2, 2022 \u2014 Mar 31, 2022)\\n>\\n> **_Reward amount?_**\\n>\\n> 100 $PUSH\\n>\\n> **_How many will receive the reward drop?_**\\n>\\n> Users delegated prior to snapshot \u2014 26\\n>\\n> LP Providers yet to stake to Yield Farms \u2014 14\\n>\\n> Random selection of 30 addresses that delegate over the month of March, gaslessly or not \u2014 30\\n\\nThat\u2019s 70 addresses that will receive rewards for past delegation/LP holders to delegate, plus 30 random users chosen among those who delegate during the Gasless March Push for a Governance time window, 70 in total.\\n\\nThis is a governance proposal that is currently live for community consideration.\\n\\n# Wrap \ud83c\udf80\ud83c\udf81\\n\\nAs #PUSHgov delivers this feature to users during Gasless March we hope to attract even more interested users to the Push Governance family.

As such, DeFi enthusiasts can now receive their daily dose of DeFi updates directly on their devices as decentralized push notifications.\\n\\nDeFi\u2019s monumental success is often attributed to the rapid innovations, tech developments, and high return investment opportunities that emerged from this space. But behind the scenes, DeFi\u2019s dedicated news and media outlets played an important role in DeFi\u2019s rise. By taking day-to-day updates to the masses, media companies spread education and awareness about this emerging industry ultimately setting the revolution in motion.\\n\\nOne such media outlet is The Defiant.\\n\\n# Pragmatic Journalism; Objective Information\\n\\nThe Defiant is a DeFi-centric news and media platform that curates, digests, and analyzes all the significant developments in the industry to keep readers updated at all times. It acts as a one-stop-shop for all DeFi enthusiasts to learn, research, and stay informed about the various trends in this space while closely following the growth of the industry.\\n\\nThe Defiant delivers data-backed and objective pieces of information to its readers while actively working to eliminate misinformation. However, for a platform that is primarily focused on DeFi, The Defiant lacks a decentralized communication system to take this information directly to its readers. And through this strategic collaboration, we at EPNS aim to build this system.\\n\\n\u201cThe Defiant is a platform that we at EPNS rely on to get major industry updates. The pragmatic journalism and research-backed information published on the platform helps us assess the vibe of the industry and ultimately build products that users would love to use. In this regard, we\u2019re enthralled with this collaboration with The Defiant and we hope that decentralized notifications become an integral part of its operations,\u201d says the team at EPNS, speaking about the collaboration.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThe collaboration between EPNS and The Defiant has one goal and that is to build a decentralized communication channel for the platform. This channel will be housed on the EPNS platform and regular readers of The Defiant can subscribe to it. When they do so, they receive updates directly to their wallets whenever new DeFi news articles are published on the platform. This eliminates the need for centralized communication services and pushed forward the DeFi revolution.\\n\\n\u201cEPNS is a very important innovation in DeFi,\u201d says the team at The Defiant. \u201cThe need for a decentralized communication system will be key and EPNS is one of the few teams building this primitive. EPNS is helping communication within the decentralized world become more efficient and transparent, and we believe our readers are poised to benefit from this system of direct communication.\u201d\\n\\nAs The Defiant continues to spread awareness about DeFi to all corners of the world, we are pleased to collaborate with them on this journey and hope to continue this alliance into the future.\\n\\n# About The Defiant\\n\\nThe Defiant curates, digests, and analyzes all the major developments in decentralized finance, so that you can stay informed and smart about the most cutting-edge and fastest-changing corner of crypto and finance.

As such, users of Nord Finance are poised to receive updates about their loan status and new investment opportunities through decentralized push notifications on their devices.\\n\\nThe DeFi industry has only grown from strength to strength since its inception in 2017. Today, it is home to some serious technological developments and rapid innovations that promise to change the course of the global financial system. However, in its current state, the industry causes a myriad of problems to its players.\\n\\nFor starters, the space is extremely fragmented and lacks interoperability. Individual blockchain ecosystems within DeFi have built walls so high that users housed on one chain often miss out on budding opportunities in the other. Then, for DeFi\u2019s most popular investment strategy of yield farming, farmer saturation often reduces the yield generated and investors find themselves jumping from platform to platform in search of better yield. The price fluctuation of crypto assets leads to impermanent loss for liquidity providers and throws them in a constant dilemma of whether to HODL or provide liquidity. Lastly, the industry lacks variety in the range of investment opportunities available and leaves average, risk-averse investors, out of the picture.\\n\\nNow, Nord Finance, as a DeFi platform was built to specifically solve these issues within the industry.\\n\\n### DeFi for the Masses\\n\\nNord Finance is a blockchain-agnostic DeFi ecosystem that aims to create a multitude of financial opportunities for users by combining the best of traditional finance with DeFi. All of these opportunities cater to investors across the spectrum and are designed to generate the highest possible yields without impermanent loss. To achieve this, Nord Finance brings stablecoins into the picture and creates additional utility for them within the DeFi ecosystem.\\n\\nInvestors can use their stablecoin holdings for a wide range of opportunities from savings and fund management to collateralized loans, yield farming, and swaps on the Nord Finance platform. The interoperable nature of this platform automatically directs the liquidity to the highest yielding pools across the DeFi space to generate high APYs. This means that investors are not limited to a single platform and can bank on opportunities across the industry.\\n\\nGiven the innovative nature and the sheer number of possibilities on Nord Finance, users of this platform need a channel through which they can constantly keep a track of their investments and new opportunities. And this is exactly what we aim to achieve through our collaboration with Nord Finance.\\n\\n\u201cNord Finance is just the platform that the growing DeFi industry was in need of,\u201d says the team at EPNS. \u201cThe innovative financial products combined with the platform\u2019s interoperability make it suitable for both beginner and veteran investors entering DeFi. In this regard, we believe that EPNS can add to the existing user experience on this platform by allowing users to stay on top of their investments, loans, and new opportunities.\u201d\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThis collaboration with Nord Finance entails building a direct communication medium between the protocol and its users. Nord Finance will have an official channel on the EPNS platform through which users can receive push notifications whenever,\\n\\n- New farming opportunities or liquidity pools are available for investors.\\n- The loan repayment period approaches\\n- On-boarding period for token claiming ends.\\n\\nThis saves users the hassle of manually checking for new updates every single time. EPNS has a mobile application, decentralized application, and a chrome extension to ensure that users do not miss out on these notifications no matter what device they\u2019re on.\\n\\nSpeaking of the partnership the team at Nord Finance says, \u201cto say that EPNS has redefined communication in DeFi would be an understatement. It is a platform that is single-handedly bringing the whole of web3 closer together. We\u2019re extremely thrilled to have them on board and we believe that EPNS will help us better communicate with our users and improve their overall experience on the platform.\u201d\\n\\n# **About Nord Finance**\\n\\nNord Finance, a blockchain agnostic platform, is an advanced decentralized financial ecosystem that focuses on simplifying decentralized finance products for users by highlighting traditional finance\u2019s key attributes. Deployed on the Ethereum Network, it integrates multi-chain interoperability, thus proposing a plethora of financial primitives, which constitute savings, advisory, loans against assets, investment/funds management, and swaps.\\n\\nAt Nord Finance, we are building a one-stop advanced decentralized financial ecosystem to serve the rising needs targeting novice users and professionals to meet their financial goals.\\n\\nConnect with us\u2026\\n\\n- Join our [Telegram](https://t.me/NordFinance)\\n- Join our [Telegram Announcement](https://t.me/NordFinance_Ann)\\n- Follow our [Twitter](https://twitter.com/Nord_Finance?s=09)\\n- Visit our [Website](https://nordfinance.io/)\\n- Mail us at contact@nordfinance.io"},{"id":"epns-and-lifi-team-up","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-and-lifi-team-up","source":"@site/blog/2022-02-16-epns-and-lifi/index.md","title":"EPNS and LiFi Team Up To Improve User Experience Through Push Notifications","description":"EPNS and LiFi Team Up To Improve User Experience Through Push Notifications","date":"2022-02-16T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 16, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":1.82,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-and-lifi-team-up","title":"EPNS and LiFi Team Up To Improve User Experience Through Push Notifications","description":"EPNS and LiFi Team Up To Improve User Experience Through Push Notifications","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Despite its monumental success over the past couple of years, the decentralized finance (DeFi) industry still largely remains to be fragmented.

Every blockchain network within the industry seems to have created walled gardens for themselves that make it difficult for users to bypass. As a result, users are usually stuck with funds on a single blockchain network, preventing them from taking advantage of opportunities across different chains.\\n\\nThis creates a lackluster user experience, hindering the full potential of DeFi and thereby its mainstream adoption. Having recognized this problem, Li.Fi, an emergent DeFi protocol, created a robust way for users to experience interoperability within DeFi. As such, we\u2019re pleased to announce our pilot collaboration with Li.Fi to provide a means of communication between the protocol and users.\\n\\n### How LiFi Can Benefit from EPNS\\n\\nLi.Fi is a cross-chain bridge aggregator protocol that allows users to swap any token for another, irrespective of their native blockchain networks. The protocol chooses the best possible bridge to move funds from one chain to the other by connecting to DEXs on both sides. This means that by simply integrating the Li.Fi SDK and API, dApps and protocols in DeFi can allow users to bypass the walled gardens of blockchain networks to conduct transactions.\\n\\nUsing Li.Fi, users will be able to take advantage of superior yield farming, staking, and investment opportunities across the DeFi ecosystem without having to constantly move from one chain to the other. This contributes to an overall better user experience for both new and veteran users and brings the fragmented DeFi space closer together, paving the way for mainstream adoption.\\n\\nNow, given that users of Li.Fi can conduct multiple cross-chain transactions, it is quite a laborious task for them to manually check for transaction confirmations. Li.Fi needs a communication channel through which it can directly update users about the status of their transactions. This is where EPNS comes into play.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our pilot partnership with Li.Fi, we aim to provide a way for the protocol to seamlessly communicate with its users without depending on external media. Users of Li.Fi will directly receive push notifications about the status of their transactions through bridges. Instead of them having to check time and again, the protocol will notify users when their assets are successfully bridged to the other side. This saves users a lot of time and effort and improves their overall user experience within DeFi.\\n\\nAs Li.Fi strives to bridge the gaps between blockchain networks, we are pleased to have partnered with them on this journey and hope to be an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n### About LiFi\\n\\nLi.Fi is a cross-chain bridge aggregation protocol that supports any-2-any cross-chain swaps by aggregating bridges and connecting them to DEXes and DEX aggregators.\\n\\nIn a nutshell, we\u2019re like 1inch & Paraswap for bridges, we choose the best bridge to move funds from one chain to another, but since bridges only support stable-coins and a few other coins, we have DEXes on both sides of the bridges to swap before and after the bridge, thus facilitating any-2-any swaps across chains.\\n\\n| [Website](https://li.finance/?fromChain=eth) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/lifiprotocol) | [Medium](https://blog.li.finance/) | [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/lifi) | [Telegram](https://t.me/lifinews)"},{"id":"epns-and-cryptomanga-team-up","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-and-cryptomanga-team-up","source":"@site/blog/2022-02-15-epns-and-cryptomanga-team-up/index.md","title":"EPNS x CryptoManga: Decentralized Communication for Decentralized Gaming","description":"EPNS x CryptoManga: Decentralized Communication for Decentralized Gaming","date":"2022-02-15T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 15, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Nft","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/nft"}],"readingTime":1.6433333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-and-cryptomanga-team-up","title":"EPNS x CryptoManga: Decentralized Communication for Decentralized Gaming","description":"EPNS x CryptoManga: Decentralized Communication for Decentralized Gaming","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"The colossal rise of NFT-gaming in the past couple of years has led to a new dawn of the global gaming ecosystem.

We now have a multitude of decentralized gaming projects that allow gamers across the globe to monetize their game-time and create multiple sources of income. Among all these projects, CryptoManga is an emergent NFT-gaming platform that is steadily climbing the popularity charts for its unmatched story-telling combined with compelling gameplay.\\n\\nIn this essence, we at EPNS are pleased to announce our pilot collaboration with CryptoManga to facilitate superior user experiences through decentralized push notifications for gamers.\\n\\n### How CryptoManga Can Benefit From EPNS\\n\\nInspired by popular Japanese graphic novels, CryptoManga is an assortment of 5,555 unique NFTs, each representing the ownership of digital shells and identities. These identities and shells exist within the virtual Deathless City and create the opportunity for an enthralling play-to-earn gaming environment called the DarkBattle. In this virtual world, each NFT has a story of its own, represented as an NFN (non-fungible narrative) and generated using deep learning models.\\n\\nCryptoManga combines the manga illustration styles of the 90s with the present-day NFTs to create an unmatched gaming experience for gamers of the future. The best part is that this gaming environment is woven into Twitter and provides a unique way for Twitteratis to engage and interact with each other. CryptoManga\u2019s gaming mechanics combine DeFi with NFTs, allowing gamers to easily monetize their time and gameplay.\\n\\nNotably, the CryptoManga ecosystem is community-driven and is dependent on the users of the platform for crucial decision-making. Users can stake the native token $MAD to participate in platform governance on the MangaDAO.\\n\\nIn this context, CryptoManga needs a decentralized communication medium to connect with users and ensure that they do not miss out on governance updates. And, through our partnership with them, we aim to build this medium.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nAs a pilot collaboration, CryptoManga will soon have an official channel of its own on the EPNS platform. Users can subscribe to this channel to have a direct source of communication with the CryptoManga platform. This channel will send out decentralized push notifications to all subscribed users to keep them updated with platform governance activities. Users can expect to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- New governance proposals are listed on the platform\\n- The status of the proposals change\\n- The results of the proposals are declared\\n\\nAs CryptoManga embarks on a journey to revolutionize the NFT-gaming space, we\u2019re pleased to collaborate with the platform and hope to continue this alliance into the future.\\n\\n# **About CryptoManga**\\n\\nCryptoManga is a collection of unique 5,555 NFTs representing the ownership of digital pseudonymous shells and identities that exist within a heterotopia of the Deathless City, a post-civilization world where the power structures have become nomadic and deterritorial.\\n\\n| [Website](https://cryptomanga.club/) | [Twitter](https://mobile.twitter.com/cryptomanganft) |"},{"id":"poolz-finance-collaborates-with-epns","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/poolz-finance-collaborates-with-epns","source":"@site/blog/2022-02-14-poolz-finance-collaborates-with-epns/index.md","title":"Poolz Finance Collaborates with EPNS to Bring Push Notifications to Its Users","description":"Poolz Finance Collaborates with EPNS to Bring Push Notifications to Its Users","date":"2022-02-14T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 14, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Defi","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/defi"}],"readingTime":1.59,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"poolz-finance-collaborates-with-epns","title":"Poolz Finance Collaborates with EPNS to Bring Push Notifications to Its Users","description":"Poolz Finance Collaborates with EPNS to Bring Push Notifications to Its Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"From the get-go, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) have served as a popular way to pool and swap liquidity within the DeFi ecosystem.

Projects in DeFi found a substantial way of generating the needed liquidity through yield farming and mining programs. However, when compared to centralized exchanges, DEXs appear to be quite limited in what they can do. Emergent DeFi startups and projects still find it difficult to pool initial startup funding and market entry liquidity on DEXs.\\n\\nTo solve this issue and help DeFi projects raise enough initial liquidity in a decentralized manner, Poolz Finance introduced a robust mechanism for new projects to raise funds through cross-chain liquidity auctions. In this regard, we at EPNS are pleased to announce our pilot collaboration with the protocol to enable direct communication with its users.\\n\\n### How Poolz Finance Can Benefit from EPNS\\n\\nPoolz Finance is a swapping protocol and IDO launchpad that aims to revolutionize fund-raising in DeFi. It essentially allows startups and new DeFi protocols to auction their tokens on the platform for bootstrapping liquidity. Poolz Finance features highly customizable pool options to cater to a wide range of DeFi projects with varying use cases, and supports multichain integrations. Moreover, the platform also helps nascent startups with pre-listings, bringing them close to early investors.\\n\\nFor investors, Poolz Finance provides a way to invest in the growth of early-stage projects. As such, it is essential for the protocol to constantly stay in touch with its users, keeping them updated about new IDO, pool launches, and whitelisting updates. Through our pilot collaboration with Poolz Finance, we aim to create a medium for direct communication between users and the protocol through push notifications.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nAs a result of this strategic collaboration, Poolz Finance will have an official channel on the EPNS platform. Users of Poolz Finance can subscribe to this channel to allow the protocol to directly communicate with them. They can expect to receive updates whenever a new liquidity pool is created on the platform and whenever a new token is available to claim.

Harsh and Richa and we would like to introduce to you the session where our guest was the one and only Dan Finlay\\n\\nIn this Session Recap, we will try to summarise the most interesting points for you.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 So, getting started\u2026..what connects your wallet to the dapp and what is that one single software that has onboarded millions of people into the web3 space\u2026\u2026..please welcome the OG of the space, the co-founder of metamask\u2026\u2026please welcome the one and only, the person who gives the coolest obligatory poses, Dan Finlay of Metamask.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Hey Dan, how are you doing?\\n\\nDan \u2014 Hi, thanks for having me.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Thanks for being here dan, yeah so, let\u2019s get started with the interview.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 cool, awesome dan can you probably get started by telling us a little bit about yourself and the coolest folks of Web3\\n\\nDan \u2014 Umm so yeah, just a real quick background because I\u2019ve probably given the history a million times, so yeah i am a local of the bay area of california and i was more of a entertainer and actually i was making videos and stuff in my youth and then eventually you know from editing videos into programming apps and i eventually made friends with my co-founder Davis and he went to this meetup and learned about ethereum, we were co-working at that time and so we were talking a whole bunch about it and talking about how could you interact with an application where there\u2019s no single server, where there\u2019s no secrets anymore, users have to hold their own keys and you know we had some ideas then, and it sounded really easy at that time and so we were like \u201cokay, we\u2019ll make this real quick\u201d and he had an initial version that was entirely in the browser, it was like a browser in a browser which was extremely ambitious but eventually we dialed it back to just being a browser extension and now we also have a mobile client and here we are and it\u2019s almost 6 years later or i think from his original starting on the project it\u2019s like 7 years and 6 years since we first shared it with the public and it\u2019s changed a lot but not as much as i had liked and i\u2019m sure everybody has a million features they\u2019d like umm i think we really kind of unearthed a new product\u2019s category, The wallet. I think the closest thing we had was like a password manager maybe but a wallet isn\u2019t just typing in passwords, it\u2019s actually like potentially giving individual consent you know, it\u2019s got not just your account\u2019s but it\u2019s got the ability to perform actions on your behalf and the websites don\u2019t have that ability anymore and so this real inversion of control, so now whenever you perform an action on a website it has a opportunity to ask the user for permission and so we get to be this cool little service on a person\u2019s computer that gets their permission for stuff so i sometimes think about it as a little digital lawyer who sits on your computer and tells you \u201cthis website would like to do that, is that what you wanna do?\u201d and you know like we are trying to then we end up trying to really bridge that gap because we have have put you know something some consent between them and somebody else\u2019s idea of what to do with their money and yeah so that\u2019s like a little micro background on the product category and obviously this last year and and um we did a lot to facilitate layer two networks we added apis that let make it easier to switch networks from an application so users can now use multi-chain applications without entering config values and settings like just by con sensing to things you can use applications that are cross-chain and we are not stopping there um we really do have a vision of the wallet as a truly multi-chain thing where people have accounts of all types people have different security preferences you know not everyone\u2019s going to probably use their own um hotkeys for all of their assets you know obviously we have hardware wallets today um and there are also contract accounts today and now we\u2019ve got you know a distributed signing you know multi-party compute algorithms and um i think there\u2019s going to be a lot more and so we\u2019re trying to build the wallet in a way that can facilitate ongoing experimentation in in all of those ways so that people really have the ability to choose the risk profiles that make sense for them um and so anyways it\u2019s a obviously grown to be a much bigger project than we possibly imagined when we first heard of ethereum it sounded like it would be like rails like you write your logic now you make an app ta-da but the truth is there\u2019s just so much more to it than that and um it\u2019s been quite a ride and clearly there\u2019s uh quite a bit more to go.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Yeah and that\u2019s an amazing like uh you know look back at the future at the past and also sneak peek in the future so i just want to do a little time travel with you mentioned that you know you were creating videos so before meta mask and web 3 what were you doing and what led you to take the plunge in web 3.\\n\\nDan \u2014 I did a lot of things i have a almost i could probably bore you by listing all the weird jobs that i had i\u2019ll tell you a couple weird ones i was a balloon twister for a little bit like so you\u2019d be at a restaurant and i would go up to you and say would you like a balloon animal and then but i was a balloon artist like people would say what can you make and i\u2019d say i\u2019m a balloon artist you tell me what you\u2019d like to me to make you know and so i got some good fun challenges there i had to make the starship enterprise one time or like the alien and predator and uh you know sometimes some good challenges but um i did a lot of improv comedy and um and then i was teaching computers at some art centers for a while um you know i really thought of myself as a communicator i had some background in my history that made me want to do something that was that had like social impact um but my best sense of how to do that was through communication so you know when things like the daily show came out for for a while i thought that was really going to be a big splash and then we go through all those years and it kind of felt like uh maybe just laughing at the problems isn\u2019t enough um you know we need to actually build alternative structures for facilitating better cooperation um between people and and yeah i think that occupy wall street was also i think it was impactful for a lot of us um for me there was like simultaneous really mixed feelings like partly like hey look there\u2019s a lot of this feeling out there a lot of people are discontent with the way things are there is a lot of will to help people out and yet it\u2019s so chaotic and disorganized you know like the people\u2019s mic like taking turns speaking regardless of you know no sense of priority or um you know or trust it just wasn\u2019t good enough and i think a lot of people came out of occupy with the sense that like it\u2019s like look we\u2019ve got reddit we can upvote comments we don\u2019t have to be sitting in a circle like taking turns talking we can definitely come up with a better way and so yeah i think um when i started learning how to write uh web apps was there was a recurring theme of like trying to make up better ways to debate better ways to make decisions together and i feel like a lot of the crypto space a lot of the web 3 space is kind of inspired from similar feelings like that it\u2019s like frustrations with how untrustworthy the old systems have been and a desire to build something better.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 That\u2019s so cool and yeah completely like agreeing with it. I just wanted to touch upon uh that now that we know matamas has a common evm household name but every software every project has a humble beginning can you describe like maybe what was metamask uh like back then.\\n\\nDan \u2014 So when kumamba first learned about uh ethereum he was trying out a few different experiments he probably went through like three little experiments for what a wallet could be like his first one was like a terminal in the browser and i was like not user friendly enough at all and then the next one was the browser in browsers and that was uh it ended up being really hard to do um and yeah and so then we came up with the browser extension and yeah early on oh it was very janky we should we should definitely post screenshots from the early versions because the truth is we\u2019ve gone through like four major reskins of metamask but sometimes people say like oh metamask hasn\u2019t changed very much i really think that we\u2019re like in a boil the frog situation people don\u2019t notice all the changes that are happening but the first version um all your accounts had a walrus avatar um they uh oh the um the confirmations were uh little notifications from the browser so you couldn\u2019t interact with them at all you could just accept or deny and so gas price was always just fixed there was uh you couldn\u2019t import accounts or anything like that um we didn\u2019t have any notion of tokens for the first like couple years or something like you know your c20 was an idea somebody was like this is a thing we should do and then and for a while i kind of had the opinion like look we\u2019ve got a big enough job just showing confirmations like we could probably do confirmations like we could probably do that and then somebody could come along and make a dashboard app and show tokens right but eventually tokens just became so fundamental to what people expected were like okay let\u2019s add them yeah and that\u2019s probably me dragging my feet like i really do value like focus i think that there\u2019s enough of us working on this stuff that we could carve out smaller pieces .\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Yeah! sounds pretty cool and that\u2019s a great sneak at the past in metamask i\u2019d love to put those screens and also would love to see the walrus avatars.\\n\\nDan \u2014 Oh yeah! So yeah\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 I would love to see those balloon things if you still have them.\\n\\nDan \u2014 Oh yeah, the blue yeah, yeah if i\u2019ve got some pictures of them i\u2019ll try uh tweeting one out if i can dig one up i mean i still have my balloon kit so i could probably just make like an ethereum logo or something you know or epns, we will see, will see.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 That\u2019s amazing, thanks for just coming back to the origin of metamask. How did the low poly design fox come into being, what is the origin of the name and the design?\\n\\nDan \u2014 uh! that was actually kind of a combination of different people so kumamba said had the idea of he\u2019s like he wanted it to be an animal that was low poly that maybe evoked the letter m that\u2019s that\u2019s the prompt as i remember it and then he he shared it with a colleague of ours uh christian geria who then made a svg fox that was kind of looking to the side and it\u2019s uh you know it was our original version one of the fox and then this was before i had actually joined so then i saw that and i was like oh it looks like it could be 3d so i was uh i was going to surprise him as part of my kind of joining the team and so i went on craigslist and i looked for 3d designers and i found somebody and i actually worked with them and it took like four drafts there\u2019s actually they\u2019re online somewhere where there\u2019s like there\u2019s like several versions of it as it kind of changes to what it became and uh i made it into a script where it would follow the cursor you know yeah so it was kind of i think we\u2019ve been passing it around in the spirit of like improv you know a lot of yes and a lot of taking something changing it and uh making it a little better.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Also then uh would love to know you spoke about uh some alpha so would love to know what\u2019s the coolest alpha drop that is coming up feature-wise in metamask now.\\n\\nDan \u2014 Uh yeah so something that\u2019s cool that uh that probably just happened a couple days ago on january 18th if everything goes according to schedule um we will have launched uh something that we\u2019re calling metamask flask it\u2019s um a special developer distribution of metamask where we\u2019re going to experiment with features that are a little experimental a little more a little more bold than we would usually push to all users and so developers are welcome to install flask as their as their metamask driver as long as they know how to backup their keys and are willing to do a little uh coding to um you know if they if they write an application that relies on it uh just assume that apis will break so you might have to yeah we\u2019re we\u2019re saying flask is for developers um we\u2019re going to break apis but we\u2019re going to do some fun crazy things and the first fun crazy thing we\u2019re going to do on flask is we\u2019ve got a version of snaps we started realizing that something this big inorder to get it to production needed to not be a long-running branch but needed to be built in a way where we can turn it on with a single flip of a switch and so that\u2019s what flask is every feature on flask we can trivially transition into production and so uh in in flask we\u2019ve got a basic version of snaps the first version is very simple it allows you to provide apis to sites uh display confirmations to users or alerts if you\u2019re maybe something like epns as well as perform some cryptographic information with keys that are derived from the user\u2019s secret recovery phrase so long term we\u2019re going to be adding a lot of really cool apis to snaps letting you represent snaps-based assets in the user\u2019s wallet ,adding new account types showing warnings or endorsements on contracts and and much more we have a lot of things that we think this is going to be useful for so we we really think that this is going to unlock um multiple layers of innovation that just were not open to before like in the past you had to build a whole new wallet from scratch if you wanted to do a lot of these things and so uh it\u2019s been a lot of work it\u2019s basically been the equivalent of building a new operating system kernel um so i hope that people can understand and be patient with us um but i think the reward is going to be great i think we\u2019re going to make the wallet a much more versatile um tool\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Tool that\u2019s amazing and when can we expect the alpha drop to be you know ready to test and play around with.\\n\\nDan \u2014 By the time this errors you can go to flask.metamask.io and you can download it and try it out\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Awesome amazing and like super so much respect for everything that you\u2019ve been doing uh speaking of respect metamask has actually crossed 21 million active users and which is like a wow number for everybody so i just wanted to ask what has been the biggest challenge that you faced during this journey of you know this big huge metrics.\\n\\nDan \u2014 Uh the biggest challenge along the way uh i think i think it all becomes psychological at a certain point like like there\u2019s a point like everybody knows this ecosystem does not sleep you know it is 24/7 and um in particular you know if you\u2019re building if you\u2019re building a defi app or a wallet your users have like financial uh you know things at stake and when there is a an outrage or there\u2019s a bug or if there\u2019s you know god forbid if there\u2019s ever a vulnerability of any kind you don\u2019t sleep you get up you do it um and so i think that there were some periods in the middle that we we hadn\u2019t prepared for how serious this space can be at times um you know like i think you know just when we started it was like a hack yeah so the first year or two um like when the 2017 ico boom was happening that was a very hard period i think that we also had some hard periods where um you know it was like the bear season of like 2019 where people were starting to have some doubt we definitely weren\u2019t getting funded the way we are now that we\u2019ve you know created revenue um and so we were stretched then and we weren\u2019t sure if this is because a wallet is a big project or if we were just kind of failing at it you know and i think that we\u2019ve learned now that yes actually a wallet is a very big project and um we\u2019re finally i think treating it with the seriousness that it deserves and we\u2019re we\u2019re uh yeah trying to make sure everything gets the the love that it that it needs you know there\u2019s like so much creativity and innovation happening that uh yeah i mean maybe the hardest part is just like keeping up with it all it\u2019s just like you know i mean not that not that any of us do but you\u2019re trying to you can you can use yourself of just doing that.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 absolutely hundred percent and like speaking of what uh you know there is always one feature in the project that is very close to your heart or even like for my heart in my project but people really don\u2019t embrace it as much as you would want to so is there a feature like that uh with metamask.\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah kind of i think i think there\u2019s a couple features that we have where i think people don\u2019t appreciate how they kind of complete a story um we\u2019ve got we\u2019ve got like these three features actually that i think make multi-chain long tail creativity viable on metamask so what we added is a library that\u2019s an onboarding library so people can say oh get your wallet and we get the person set up and then link back to the site then we added an api that adds your custom network so if you\u2019re on a layer 2 it says, hey this site uses blah blah you know chain would you you know would you like to switch to it or add it and then and then they do now they\u2019re on that chain and then the third method is our eip 747 which is um add a custom asset too so then you can say we also use this token would you like to show that in your wallet and and so there what we\u2019ve done is there with no central uh server nothing that can go down you know other than the site\u2019s own uh networks and dependencies we\u2019ve enabled a user to um arrive at a site without a wallet get it use a custom network and use an asset that nobody\u2019s maybe listing um all just with clicks of consent and and to me that that\u2019s really important we didn\u2019t even introduce a central major list or anything we just let you go to a site and purely through the trust that you\u2019ve got established with that link and and yes i\u2019m saying there\u2019s an act of trust when you visit a link don\u2019t click links from people you don\u2019t trust don\u2019t trust links from strangers but upon visiting a link that you can trust we can we can fully onboard you to a tool a new ecosystem a new chain that is possibly as cheap as you can imagine and a new asset that somebody may have just made up minutes before and and to me i\u2019m very proud of that.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Awesome awesome and i would love to know that you know what\u2019s one of the maybe the coolest um experiments that you have seen in web 3 that hasn\u2019t sort of wagged me yet but you think has a lot of potential.\\n\\nDan \u2014 i\u2019ll i\u2019ll give a shout out i just yesterday learned that i guess a project by rick dudley laconic after four years in stealth mode is about to come out it was inspired by a lot of the problems that infuria or like hosting ethereum nodes has where like everyone trusts this central node but now that central node has all the server costs in this one everybody helps save some state and they help gossip it to each other um i i like \\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_ safe uh add-ons like the they have a whole module system um you know what\u2019s the zodiac uh kind of ecosystem i think is really cool because they\u2019re making \\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_ safe as a contract account allows anyone to write a contract that plugs in and can act on behalf of that contract and so zodiac is a suite of these modules that are oriented at DAOs and so it\u2019s kind of becoming a plug-and-play DAO system and um and it\u2019s a very lightweight one so i you know love and respect uh like the \\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_ approach and stuff and uh you know and and colony and you know there\u2019s like all these great experiments in dapps um but i really i like this one because it\u2019s just doing such a good um like featherweight you know your know is safe it\u2019s one contract module just add the modules you need you know it\u2019s like and you know the nose to safe wasn\u2019t even made for that you know i like seeing when people make contracts where they\u2019re interoperable and they didn\u2019t even have to be made together but they\u2019re just they\u2019re made so uh so well that somebody else can repurpose them i love seeing that kind of things.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Amazing!\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Yeah, awesome so and dan , i wanted to know like metamask, how do you guys decide like what feature should come on metamask or not like uh is there a thought process behind it we would love to know that.\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah yeah yeah ideally it would all just be like public and open and available for others to like mutate and i know i have a doc running where i\u2019m like where i put my like craziest like open decision making process ideas today it\u2019s not that um it\u2019s not that yeah let\u2019s say like hash linked into centralized uh we\u2019ve got a series of different documents these days a lot of the prioritization is actually happening in a notion although i do a lot of like um brainstorms on on \\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_ so github obviously has lots of issues and lots of feature requests and there\u2019s so many i think we have like you know like 10 000 or something um and so what we try to do is we try to lump them into categories we try to list those categories and then we start talking about okay strategically which of these categories are like facilitating our upcoming goals and so just and then combine that with our long-term goals so we\u2019ve got like long-term like i have a sense of what i think a wallet needs to become you know like in 20 years if we haven\u2019t done that we kind of failed um but of course along the way we have to adapt to the current ecosystem we say oh it looks like you know the transaction fees are too damn high we really need to make sure that layer two is thriving right now so yeah so we combine our high level plans these kind of thematic we call like uh epics or initiatives uh use that to kind of prioritize the groups of issues that we\u2019re doing on a quarter by quarter basis uh we do have a community page where we invite people to post feature requests so that\u2019s ends up being one of those things where it\u2019s like okay well that\u2019s a feature that i\u2019d like to develop alongside all of our other features and so now we have to decide whether you know how much energy we want to put on optimizing our process this or that which you know which is coming first um i think uh we have so many things that we want to do that uh even just laying them out can be uh an enormous task.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 That\u2019s an amazing insight and thanks for uh diving so deep into it uh on that note like uh we spoke about like how you guys uh look into what upcoming features will come on metamask but metamask itself has so many cool features that not many people know about uh i want you to outline one cool picture of metamask which people haven\u2019t embraced yet.\\n\\nDan \u2014 i don\u2019t think people have noticed that like sometimes we ship features and people don\u2019t even notice here\u2019s two um people haven\u2019t noticed that you can log in with multiple accounts and facilitate multi-account apps um so for example a portfolio dap like zapper or zaryan could ask for you to select as many accounts as you want they can they can view those and you can uh now interact with all those accounts at once um that\u2019s a cool thing that basically nobody\u2019s doing today also we added an encryption api so you can send encrypted messages to metamask users it does require them um providing a publickey first and then anyone can write encrypted messages to those keys and then we have a special method for decrypting those if you wanted to make a end-to-end encrypted uh messaging app or anything that incorporates absolutely secret messages to the user that\u2019s an api that\u2019s available today very few dapps have you know they use it in a creative way they don\u2019t use it even in the way that it was designed naturally they\u2019re hacking it um but uh yeah and not a lot of people using it to actually make uh encrypted messaging.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Got it, that\u2019s a signed message right ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 no that\u2019s um it\u2019s decrypt uh wallet decrypt method method i think\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Wallet Decrypt ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 Yeah, docs.metamask.io there\u2019s some there\u2019s some secret gems in there we\u2019re going to be giving a lot of love to our docs uh in this coming year.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Awesome uh all right moving forward uh then like there\u2019s so many uh so-called chapter of wallet wars what\u2019s your opinion on that?\\n\\nDan \u2014 Yeah so what do i think about wallet wars well there\u2019s definitely more wallets today than there have ever been uh in our history and we knew when we built metamask we were building it on open standards you know the secret recovery phrase is an open standard and we did that so that people would have the option of using other tools that would work for them and yeah i think that there are a lot of there are so many things that a wallet could do and that a person might want a wallet to do that i think that there\u2019s a lot of value in having many approach you know like naturally having contract accounts is like a must-have for some people and then having having a an account that is like maybe it\u2019s more defy centric maybe it\u2019s more nft centric you know everyone\u2019s got their own sense of what web 3 is and i feel like every wallet developer is kind of bringing their own sense of that you know web3 is a it\u2019s like a very very big concept and i think that uh metamask maybe it\u2019s just because we were first uh or you know technically i guess like mist was first but you know they\u2019re they\u2019re not around anymore but because we were early and we\u2019re kind of the oldest web 3 wallet i feel like we kind of have a responsibility to kind of play the middle where we try to enable as many different use cases as possible um we\u2019re not over pandering to one community we\u2019re not you know just trying to integrate the features that facilitate one use case you know but i think also when you start making a wallet that\u2019s more entrenched in one use case um it can kind of compromise on the interoperability like when you go to another site now if that site wants to interact with the assets on that other thing that\u2019s that\u2019s part of the fun of web3 part of the fun is i can take my tokens from this sale i can take in this exchange i can bond them in this DAO i can back them on this nft you know you can go to different sites and you\u2019re doing lots of different things with the same underlying assets and i think that kind of interoperability largely comes from having a wallet that is trying to facilitate the widest set of use cases and it\u2019s totally the hardest thing to do anyways i think there\u2019s a lot of uh creative approaches to wallets right now i think you know i see a lot of people taking a lot of approaches i still don\u2019t see anybody that i think has like nailed why i\u2019m in it and why metamask is doing it um and so you know i wish them the best of luck in meeting their needs um as wallets but i look forward to somebody doing what i have in mind better than me because then i can finally get some rest.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 that\u2019s nicely put and uh i don\u2019t think that\u2019s not happening in the near future so yeah.\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah lots of very different ideas that\u2019s for sure.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Yep Yep, awesome so dan um i would love to know what\u2019s next for you what are the plans of 2022 and how do you see that evolving ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 uh 2022 well well we all know that it\u2019s the uh year of layer two thread um and uh yeah but i think for us we\u2019ve got we\u2019ve got some big uh design changes and improvements in mind largely oriented at facilitating scalability we\u2019re finally bringing ntfs to extension and we\u2019ve got some nice extra features for nft lovers in the in the works we\u2019re going to continue making transactions more readable um if we do it right we will try to get snaps to production and so metamask will be a fully not just multi-evm chain but maybe facilitating finally contract accounts and all sorts of other cool innovation i can\u2019t wait for that looking forward to finally have syncing across devices possibly-possibly maybe finally get some proper social features although i think that proper decentralized social is a little bit harder than most people think i think it\u2019s easy to just build a new web 2 social network on top of a wallet but i think that there are some things that if we want to make it a healthy ecosystem we should try to do right yea i think i think it\u2019s going to be a big year for for improving scalability and and readability and and i think the usability i think it\u2019s going to step up just like how it feels to use it like i think we are still we\u2019re using a lot of the ux that we\u2019ve had for like two and a half three years um i think that we\u2019re going to be stepping it up a lot i think we\u2019re going to be improving a lot of apis um i think it\u2019ll be a good year for developing and using web3.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 awesome awesome so yeah one last question because we spoke about social network and uh innovation so what do you feel about communication or the pre-native communication via wallets. of course we are talking about us and i would love to know your opinion about it.\\n\\nDan \u2014 Yeah so i mean i think the first principle that i would just advocate and i think that you already do this is is that communication should be opt-in like the last thing we want is anybody can ping my address right um but as long as i\u2019m subscribing to things then i think that it\u2019s on the right direction um obviously we\u2019ve got all sorts of interesting architectural problems like who owes the server do the notifications go down if one server goes down if so that\u2019s a little embarrassing from a web 3 perspective and yet not unrealistic because of the realities of how things get built especially bit by bit communication within the like should we have a messenger built into the wallet at some point you know status does that and that\u2019s that\u2019s really cool you know maybe on the mobile client someday we\u2019ll have something like that um for now you could pretty much do that as a website on the desktop app so that\u2019s not unthinkable but should it be embedded i don\u2019t know i don\u2019t think it\u2019s our top priority right now although uh we do have we\u2019ve had some experiments that i think are get fun where we could we could make a chat where we incorporate like the apis into the chat this is like going off this is not meta masks team uh sanctioned but uh that had a like a weekend hack with kumavs a little while back where we made like a chatbot that incorporated a javascript api within the chat context and i could imagine making a cool like social smart contracting environment where you can like actually maybe code and invoke and interact right there in the chat um i think that\u2019d be really fun someday.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Yeah, that\u2019s insane.\\n\\nDan \u2014 no no no that was that\u2019s a lot that\u2019s uh so so there\u2019s there\u2019s a lot of different things that communication can mean of course right like so PUSH, it\u2019s a good starting point because like any other communication is based on it and uh and it seems like it should be a simple use case although making it properly decentralized is always more uh complicated than you might anticipate yep, yes so congratulations on the launch today.\\n\\nHarsh \u2014 Thanks thanks, you so ,much sam uh awesome so this brings us to the end of phase one of the interview done uh what we don\u2019t tell our guest is that richa basically uh online uh i mean she stalks uh i guess online prepares a customized set of key questions for them and then uh ask uh those questions to you uh so that\u2019s uh the phase two of the interview and on to you richa.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 thanks and these are not as scary questions as harsh as making them sound they\u2019re just funny questions so then i\u2019ll just ask some questions maybe rapid fire take five to ten seconds and we\u2019ll have some fun all right so let\u2019s get started .\\n\\nyour favorite builder?\\n\\nDan \u2014 i mean i feel like the word builder for me is almost synonymous with austin griffith like he\u2019s with the build i feel like he\u2019s done so much for making usable tools and building a community like taking on apprentices i think it\u2019s just a wonderful thing.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 yep yep and he\u2019s one of our favorite guests as well . so the next question, if fox doesn\u2019t exist in the world what does the metamask logo look like?\\n\\nDan \u2014 um maybe it\u2019s an octopus uh just because her next choice was the mustache but i don\u2019t know um yeah yeah i\u2019ll go with the octopus for now.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 so you get up and it\u2019s the year 2050, what do you see?\\n\\nDan \u2014 i get up well do we even see any more or do we just like interpret our kind of neural link sensory inputs from the world um uh hopefully i see a bunch of um well hopefully i see my bedroom and then i step out and hopefully i see a community of friends who are you know have what they need to and are empowered to uh you know build lives that they\u2019re happy with.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 we know you\u2019re multi-talented so what\u2019s your another hidden talent that we don\u2019t know of\\n\\nDan \u2014 i did i played a lot of violin as a child with like eight years or something so um when i make digital instruments they\u2019re usually fretless like i like between the notes i think it\u2019s a beautiful thing to not be constrained to a single scale.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 one of the most popular questions asked, when dollar meta ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 when dollar meta ? you mean like when token yeah uh uh definitely not as soon as you\u2019re hoping just just dial back dial back a little bit take take a break build something you care about uh don\u2019t count on us to you know like we\u2019re we\u2019re really focused on enabling people to enable themselves um you know if if we you know at any point do something like that you know we\u2019ll we\u2019ll make sure our community is the first to know but not not too soon\\n\\nRicha \u2014 awesome and that\u2019s a shout out to everybody who\u2019s trying to claim some airdrops so there is no token out there.\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah yes we\u2019ll tell you what tell you what if you\u2019re ever claiming an airdrop just know a real airdrop is not going to ask for your secret recovery phrase okay just step one you know you can go get some shady tokens from strangers on twitter just like if they throw errors on etherscan and try to direct you to some other shady website you know don\u2019t give them your secret recovery phrase etc.. etc basically don\u2019t give out your secret recovery face and then you should be okay like you know it\u2019s fine to accept airdrops and see what those are worth but yeah just um don\u2019t also give away everything you own\\n\\nRicha \u2014 there you heard it if you could be a fly on the wall who would you want to listen in on ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 on these days i honestly i feel like i\u2019m so lucky i feel like i get to listen in on i think i feel like i get to join and and talk to and uh interact with you know some of the the most incredibly brilliant people in the world and and i\u2019m so grateful um honestly at metamask i\u2019ve we\u2019ve been getting enormous uh inspiration and mentorship from the folks at agoric so people like mark miller and dean tribble and uh and chris kowal um you know and kate sills and oh i mean i won\u2019t gonna like list that whole company sorry i will i\u2019m gonna hold back but um uh incredibly grateful i i love talking to mark and them and um they they teach us so much about building secure distributed systems and that\u2019s what we\u2019re really doing and they\u2019ve got like decades of thoughts on the topic and so i\u2019ve been so so happy to meet people that feel like they\u2019re historically deep on a topic that i\u2019ve found myself in.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 amazing uh what is the first thing that comes to your mind when i say the following wrong answers only. ATH ?\\n\\nDan \u2014 a hundred dollars right\\n\\nRicha \u2014 \\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\\\_\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah we i i sure hope so let\u2019s let\u2019s make it so make it so let\u2019s not assume it.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 huh yes gm uh\\n\\nDan \u2014 yeah good morning\\n\\nRicha \u2014 Wrong answers only\\n\\nDan \u2014 Oh wrong answers only, oh sorry uh gold mine.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 amazing your favorite ice cream flavor.\\n\\nDan \u2014 i don\u2019t eat a lot of ice cream oh i\u2019ve been enjoying a salted caramel mochi though.\\n\\nRicha \u2014 really good cats or dogs?\\n\\nDan \u2014 cats, all right i got a cat i love him\\n\\nRicha \u2014 there you go your favorite superhero?\\n\\nDan \u2014 I\u2019m not a huge comic book person so you know my earliest formative superhero was just Superman.

Among these digital assets, cryptocurrencies have remained investors\u2019 popular choice in the last decade. However, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have recently picked up pace last year, providing investors with yet another viable investment opportunity and not to forget a ticket to the metaverse. Owing to this fact, NFTs recorded a whopping $41 billion in sales last year and experts believe that this number is set to grow exponentially.\\n\\nIn this regard, the emergent NFT marketplace Digible is creating an exciting and easily accessible platform for investors and collectors to enter the NFT revolution. Today, we at EPNS are enthralled to announce our pilot program collaboration with Digible through which we aim to redefine the way the platform communicates with its users.\\n\\n### How Digible Can Benefit From the Partnership With EPNS\\n\\nDescribed as the \u201ccollector\u2019s metaverse\u201d, Digible is an NFT marketplace that aims to combine the best of the physical and digital worlds through NFTs. It allows users to buy, sell, trade, and exchange rare physical cards that hold a reliable value. Every NFT on the platform is supported by an underlying physical asset that users can uniquely own.\\n\\nMoreover, Digible also offers a set of unique services like DigiDuel, DigiSafe, and DigiGrade to its users. DigiDuel allows users to battle for rare NFTs on the platform and DigiSafe and DigiGrade help in securing and safely storing valuable NFTs.\\n\\nOn this note, the platform needs a reliable medium for exchanging information with its users and updating them about the status of their NFTs. EPNS aims to create this channel for Digible.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our collaboration with Digible, we aim to create a means for the platform to be able to communicate with its users to pass on updates and increase user participation. Users of Digible can subscribe to its official channel on EPNS to receive decentralized push notifications whenever\\n\\n- They receive an offer on their NFTs\\n- Their offer for NFTs has been canceled or accepted\\n- They\u2019ve won or lost an auction bid for NFTs\\n- Sellers receive a new bid on the NFTs\\n- A sealed NFT box has been opened\\n- A new sale is made on the platform\\n\\nDigible\u2019s unique approach to combining the physical and virtual worlds through NFTs is poised to create a unique appeal in the world of NFTs and we\u2019re pleased to collaborate with this platform on their ambitious journey.\\n\\n# **About Digible**\\n\\nDigible\u2122 is powering the collector\u2019s metaverse for physically-backed collectibles by using blockchain technology to eliminate the friction of trading physical collectibles. Allowing for collectible investors such as hobby fanatics and private equity firms to acquire physical collectibles without having to worry about where to store them.\\n\\nHow it works:\\n\\nUsers that send items to the DigiSafe\u2122 will receive an NFT that contains a scanned image of their physical item, and acts as a freely tradeable legal title to the physical item. If the user wishes to retrieve their physical item, they can claim it on the Digible platform. Digible will then burn the NFT and send them the physical item at their shipping expense.\\n\\nCore products:\\n\\nDigible\u2122 marketplace: Cross-chain, Decentralized marketplace for trading physically-backed collectibles as NFTs.\\n\\nDigiGrade\u2122: Grading and authentication service for collectibles on the chain.\\n\\nDigiSafe\u2122: Decentralized, safe, insured storage of physical items represented by NFTs. Professional collectors and businesses with adequate insurance may apply for Digisafe status to qualify for additional revenue for storing of collectibles.\\n\\nDigiGames\u2122: Battle NFTs with each other in the form of mini-games and allows for third-party game developers to build card dueling systems and play to earn games using pure and physically-backed NFTs.\\n\\nDigiWax\u2122: Open-source protocol for sealed virtual NFT packs/boxes filled with physically-backed collectibles and digital collectibles. Secured and verified by Chainlink VRF. Breaker\u2019s can digitally seal boxes and ensure a verifiably fair distribution of NFTs to the participants.\\n\\nDigible\u2122 believes that physically-backed collectibles will consume a large portion of the NFT market by 2023. This vision has led to us building the future of collectibles, all on the blockchain. We believe that the transparency on blockchain will lead to a safer, more accessible, and fair ecosystem for the world to access the physical collectibles and trading card markets.\\n\\n| [Website](https://digible.io/) | [Medium](https://digibleio.medium.com/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/digibleio) |"},{"id":"epns-allies-with-mstable","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-allies-with-mstable","source":"@site/blog/2022-02-02-epns-allies-with-mstable/index.md","title":"EPNS Allies With mStable to Facilitate Decentralized Notifications for Users","description":"EPNS Allies With mStable to Facilitate Decentralized Notifications for Users","date":"2022-02-02T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"February 2, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Stable Coin","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/stable-coin"}],"readingTime":1.87,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-allies-with-mstable","title":"EPNS Allies With mStable to Facilitate Decentralized Notifications for Users","description":"EPNS Allies With mStable to Facilitate Decentralized Notifications for Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"Stablecoins in DeFi have proven to be an excellent store of value and a medium of exchange within the decentralized framework.

However, recent years witnessed the extreme fragmentation of the stablecoin ecosystem. DeFi protocols and investment opportunities initially started out to be DAI-centric but they now incorporate a plethora of other stablecoins. This leaves investors and traders in DeFi constantly juggling between all the available stablecoins to take advantage of these DeFi opportunities on different platforms.\\n\\nTo circumvent this problem, the DeFi protocol mStable has come up with the concept of meta-assets that can be created by combining all these individual stablecoins into a single stable asset. The creation of these meta-assets can prove to be extremely crucial for the stablecoin economy and inturn DeFi as a whole, and we at EPNS are pleased to collaborate with mStable to improve their user experience.\\n\\n### How mStable Benefits from Decentralized Push Notifications\\n\\nmStable is a DeFi protocol and a meta-asset platform that unites stablecoin lending and swapping to create a decentralized stablecoin ecosystem. It addresses some of the major problems with stablecoins by essentially knitting the fragmented pegged-asset economy into a single standard.\\n\\nAnyone can mint meta-assets permissionlessly like mUSD on this platform by depositing a 1:1 ratio of other USD-backed assets like USDC, DAI, or USDT. This essentially means that mUSD is more stable, secure, and reliable when compared to DAI because it is fully backed by several stablecoins at once with capped weight limits for each individual stablecoin. So, in a practical sense, mStable allows for the creation of new asset-backed tokens that are greater than the sum of their counterparts, while enhancing the utility of stablecoins through its market-leading savings product.\\n\\nThe entire mStable ecosystem is powered by the native governance token MTA. Users can stake this token to participate in platform governance and earn a share of the monthly staking rewards and platform fees. In this regard, EPNS through this strategic partnership aims to build a communication channel for users and the protocol to help them better collaborate for governance and decision-making.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nDecentralized push notifications are set to become an integral part of the mStable ecosystem once the collaboration gets going. mStable\u2019s official channel on EPNS will be live for users to subscribe to and this will keep them updated about the various steps in the governance process. Users will receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- A new proposal is submitted for voting\\n- Changes are made to existing proposals\\n- Voting process begins\\n- Voting process ends\\n- The results of the voting are declared\\n- The staking vault has been topped up with rewards.\\n\\nAs mStable strives to bring about a significant change in the stablecoin ecosystem, we\u2019re pleased to work with them on this journey and hope to become an integral part of their ecosystem.\\n\\n# **About mStable**\\n\\nmStable is an autonomous and non-custodial infrastructure for pegged-value crypto assets. The protocol was created to address problems in the pegged-asset economy like lack of yield, lack of protection, and significant fragmentation. mStable provides a solution to these three problems through the creation of meta-assets, which are fully backed by a diversified basket of existing tokenized same-base assets.\\n\\n| [Website](https://mstable.org/) | [Medium](https://medium.com/mstable) |"},{"id":"epns-collaborates-with-gro-protocol","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-collaborates-with-gro-protocol","source":"@site/blog/2022-01-31-epns-collaborates-with-gro-protocol/index.md","title":"EPNS Collaborates With Gro Protocol to Enable Decentralized Notifications for Users","description":"EPNS Collaborates With Gro Protocol to Enable Decentralized Notifications for Users","date":"2022-01-31T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 31, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Gro Protocol","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/gro-protocol"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":1.91,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-collaborates-with-gro-protocol","title":"EPNS Collaborates With Gro Protocol to Enable Decentralized Notifications for Users","description":"EPNS Collaborates With Gro Protocol to Enable Decentralized Notifications for Users","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"With interest rates and stock markets plummeting in the wake of the pandemic, the DeFi industry came as an attractive new opportunity for investors who benefited from its global accessibility and higher returns.

Yet, the majority of financial products in DeFi still cater to investors with a higher risk appetite. Risk-averse investors still find it very difficult to enter the decentralized framework and as such are left out of the revolution.\\n\\nFor DeFi to be able to compete with TradFi and potentially replace it needs to cater to varying risk appetites of investors and make it easy for users to transition into the decentralized world. DeFi\u2019s emergent [Gro Protocol](https://app.gro.xyz/) was launched in an effort to achieve this and we at EPNS are pleased to partner with them on this ambitious journey.\\n\\n### How Gro Protocol Can Benefit From Decentralized Notifications\\n\\nGro Protocol is a DeFi yield optimizer and stablecoin yield aggregator that is built to balance risk and protect savings through its tranching mechanism. The protocol offers PWRD and Vault that cater to varying risk appetites and combine the best of TradFi and DeFi to provide ideal returns to investors.\\n\\nPWRD is a protected savings product that consists of stablecoin baskets and the risk here is diversified across protocols and stablecoins used to ensure that investors get the best possible returns while being protected against exotic risks like protocol exploitation. Vault, on the other hand, is a product with a slightly higher risk factor that protects PWRD in return for sharing yield from PWRD deposits. Both these products are designed to offer everyday investors a taste of DeFi higher returns and transparency while efficiently optimizing to balance risk and yields.\\n\\nThe protocol\u2019s native GRO token acts as a medium of exchange within the network and it can be earned through airdrops, liquidity mining, and vesting bonuses. In this regard, there is a need for a reliable channel of communication between users and the protocol to keep users updated about the status of their GRO tokens and EPNS helps build this channel.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nThrough our pilot collaboration with Gro Protocol, we aim to create a means of seamless communication between users and the protocol through decentralized push notifications. Gro Protocol will have an official channel on EPNS that is set to go live in February this year. Users can subscribe to this channel to receive notifications whenever\\n\\n- New airdrops are available for users to claim.\\n- Airdrops are about to expire.\\n- They are eligible to claim GRO tokens from Vesting Bonus Pool.\\n\\nAs Gro Protocol works towards making DeFi accessible to everyday users, we\u2019re pleased to collaborate with them on this journey and hope to be an integral part of their operations.\\n\\n# **About Gro Protocol**\\n\\n[Gro](https://www.gro.xyz) is a DeFi protocol offering leveraged and protected stablecoin yields through risk tranching. Its products include PWRD, Vault and Labs. Gro protocol uses an automated portfolio of stablecoin yield strategies to balance yield against risk. PWRD users are protected from loss by Vault users, who take a leveraged share of protocol returns from PWRD. As Gro focuses almost entirely on stablecoins, market price volatility is minimized, even in higher risk products.\\n\\nTo learn more about Gro: [dApp](http://app.gro.xyz) | [Docs](https://docs.gro.xyz) | [Medium](https://groprotocol.medium.com/) | [Twitter](http://www.twitter.com/groprotocol) | [Discord](http://discord.gg/gro) | [Telegram](https://t.me/gro_announcements) | [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSQeNePRCe-rfCs1eLjOhTw)"},{"id":"epns-monthly-blocks-jan-2022","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/epns-monthly-blocks-jan-2022","source":"@site/blog/2022-01-31-epns-monthly-blocks-jan-2022/index.md","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","description":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","date":"2022-01-31T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 31, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Ethereum","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/ethereum"},{"label":"Newsletter","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/newsletter"},{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"}],"readingTime":3.513333333333333,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"epns-monthly-blocks-jan-2022","title":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","description":"EPNS Monthly Blocks","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"There have been very special moments though our journey that leave a mark in our hearts, and this month the EPNS Mainnet launch is one of them.

Offering transparency, decentralization, a new layer of privacy, and global accessibility to users, the industry soared to heights never seen before. However, these very distinguishing features of DeFi made the industry an easy target for hackers and defaulters who encashed it heavily. The industry lost more than $2.8B (according to Chainanalysis) to hackers and accounted for a good portion of all hacks globally.\\n\\nThis problem needed to be fixed and quickly, before users started to lose trust in the technology. As a savior for DeFi came Bridge Mutual, the DeFi protocol offering unmatched safety and security for users. We at EPNS are pleased to announce our Collaboration with Bridge Mutual through which we aim to create a reliable communication channel for the protocol and its users.\\n\\n### How Bridge Mutual Can Benefit from EPNS\\n\\nBridge Mutual is a decentralized coverage platform for DeFi that enables users to safeguard their assets and investments. Users of the platform can buy covers akin to insurance for their crypto assets to compensate for any hacks, thefts, or exploits. This allows them to safely navigate the DeFi space with the assurance that their investments are safe.\\n\\nApart from buying coverage, users of this platform can also provide coverage by staking stablecoins in dedicated pools. This allows them to earn a yield on their stake in a high-risk/high-reward scenario. Stakers earn their rewards in the form of stablecoins or BMI tokens.\\n\\nHowever, the lack of a proper communication medium between users and the protocol creates friction, and users have to manually check if their premiums have expired or when new claims are made. This could cause users to miss out on deadlines and risk losing coverage. Through our partnership with Bridge Mutual, we aim to address this very issue.\\n\\n# What Does the Collaboration Entail\\n\\nEPNS and Bridge Mutual will be working in collaboration to build a reliable communication medium for users of the platform. Bridge Mutual will have a dedicated channel on EPNS that users of the platform could subscribe to. Users can opt to receive whenever\\n\\n- A new insurance claim is made on the platform.\\n- Their coverage premium expires.\\n- The withdrawal request matures for coverage pool passes and BMI staking passes and users have 48 hours to withdraw the request.\\n\\nAs Bridge Mutual works towards making DeFi a safe space for users and investors, we\u2019re pleased to be partnering with them on this journey and hope to become an integral part of their operation.\\n\\n**About Bridge Mutual**\\n\\nBridge Mutual, a decentralized coverage platform, is on a mission to become a #1 crypto-armorer of the Decentralized Finance and equip everyone with protection against universal crypto threats. We are a fully decentralized, p2p/p2b discretionary risk coverage platform covering smart contracts, stablecoins, centralized exchanges. Our platform allows users to provide coverage, decide on policy payouts, share profit, and get compensated for adjudicating claims. Users can get protection and provide one in exchange for yield. We focus on great product design, pro-community business objectives and synergy with other web3 innovations.\\n\\n[Website](https://www.bridgemutual.io/) | [Telegram](https://t.me/bridge_mutual) | [Medium](https://bridgemutual.medium.com/) | [Twitter](https://twitter.com/bridge_mutual) | [CoinGecko](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bridge-mutual) | [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/c/BridgeMutual) | [Gate.io](https://www.gate.io/en/trade/BMI_USDT) | [Bitfinex](https://trading.bitfinex.com/t/BMI:USD) | [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/bmi)"},{"id":"push-grants-program-going-live","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/push-grants-program-going-live","source":"@site/blog/2022-01-26-push-grants-program-going-live/index.md","title":"Push Grants Program Going Live!","description":"Push Grants Program Going Live!","date":"2022-01-26T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 26, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Grants Program","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/grants-program"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"}],"readingTime":2.1433333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"push-grants-program-going-live","title":"Push Grants Program Going Live!","description":"Push Grants Program Going Live!","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"With the overwhelming turnout and support received for PIP-01: Push Grants Program (12% of $PUSH circulating supply taking part in the vote, 3X amount needed for quorum!), PGP is now approved to run for two quarters with a total budget of 1,000,000 $USD.

PGP proposal submission, consideration, and decision to take to formal votes - all happen on the [EPNS Governance Forum](https://gov.epns.io/). All the relevant info you\u2019ll need can be found there too. Specifically, in this post, we\u2019ll explore the highlights of the governance forums, a walkthrough on how to create a new proposal, and the requirements needed along the pathway to a Snapshot vote.\\n\\n## **Where?**\\n\\n\ud83d\udc49gov.epns.io\ud83d\udc48 is the overall home of EPNS governance. The [**Push Grants Program(PGP) category**](https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/10) is where you\u2019ll find the grants discourse.\\n\\n![First image of Push Grants Program Going Live!](./image-1.webp)\\n\\nHighlighted page: [https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/10](https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/10)\\n\\nThe \\\\*\\\\*Start Here\\\\*\\\\* post will give you the steps needed to understand how to post and interact with proposals, as well as details on support requirements needed to be accepted.\\n\\n![Second image of Push Grants Program Going Live!](./image-2.webp)\\n\\nHighlighted page: [https://gov.epns.io/t/push-grants-program-pgp-details-start-here/41/4](https://gov.epns.io/t/push-grants-program-pgp-details-start-here/41/4)\\n\\n\u26a0\ufe0fThere will be a similar \\\\*\\\\*start here\\\\*\\\\* post pinned at the top of each new category page (Announcements, Proposals, etc.) with directions & information to help understand the content found there.\\n\\n# How to submit a grant proposal\\n\\nAbove we saw gov.epns.io and found the PGP page, in there the [Proposals](https://gov.epns.io/c/grants/grants-proposal/19) page is listed. That is where applications for grant funding will be posted and discussed. Here\u2019s how that works.\\n\\nOn [gov.epns.io](https://gov.epns.io/) click the \u201c+ New Topic\u201d button.\\n\\n![Third image of Push Grants Program Going Live!](./image-3.webp)\\n\\nIn the new topic window, fill the following 3 fields according to the screenshot below.\\n\\n![Fourth image of Push Grants Program Going Live!](./image-4.webp)\\n\\n- Title formatted as pictured (PGP Proposal: \\\\*insert title\\\\*)\\n- Below the title, choose the Push Grants Program \u2014 Proposals category\\n- #tag the two terms pictured in the bottom right field\\n\\nDoing those 3 things will outline the proposal structure, for users will need to draft their proposals following the [**proposal template**](https://github.com/push-protocol/push-grants/blob/main/proposal-template.md).\\n\\n**An application is accepted only when it gets approved on Snapshot.**\\n\\nThe requirements for proposals to advance to a Snapshot vote, and the process thereof will be:\\n\\n- Proposal lives for at least 7 days on the forum.\\n- Proposal post receives 10 likes and 3 comments (in favor) within those 7 days or more.\\n- A poll will be added within 3 days by the EPNS governance team (EPNSgov) for/against moving to Snapshot vote.\\n- A poll must get at least 10 votes in total and will be moved along with For/Against majority.\\n- **FOR**: Proposal gets advanced to Snapshot within 3 days with voting open for another 7 days.\\n- **AGAINST**: Proposers are notified and encouraged to reapply after digesting feedback received.\\n- Once the proposal lands on Snapshot, 4% of circulating $PUSH supply participating with a positive result is the passing bar.\\n\\n## What\u2019s next for PGP?\\n\\nThe #EPNSgov team has been working hard to deliver this initiative to the EPNS community and Push Governance users. Our part in this process is all about giving the tools over to the users and trying to respond to that feedback. This new grants channel is just the type of avenue we needed to open up in order to spark the type of discourse we\u2019re trying to attract.\\n\\nMoving forward, there are several #EPNSgov projects in the works and we\u2019ll be steadily announcing those across the EPNS network.

I got a curious mind for science and stuff and then became interested in computers which was a very theoretical interest back then in the Soviet Union. Then, I went to study computer science in Moscow, where I met Natalia (my Vitalik\u2019s mom) and got married. Then Vitalik was born, and I watched the Soviet Union fall apart, ended up accidentally starting a business with a few friends, eventually moving to Canada 22 years ago, and living here in Toronto, Canada, ever since. I mostly spent most of my life building tech businesses of various kinds, and then a few years ago, I sold the latest business, and I guess you can say that I\u2019m semi-retired and have been engaging in a lot of things that peak my curiosity.\\n\\n**Richa :** Well, you were talking about you growing up in the Soviet Union, so we would love to know what the culture was like back there when you were growing up and how life was back home?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** I mean, generally speaking life was really poor in the Soviet Union so the most you can say is that everyone was equally poor. Most people were more or less in the same position financially, there was a lot of propaganda about how bad the west is and that they were trying to destroy our freedoms and our quest for communism or whatever was happening. So yeah, there was lots of propaganda, lots of family times. Our family had a huge library and I loved reading books and also grew up in a region which had a lot of ethnic tension so that was also part of their background. Those were just some of the little bits and pieces and there are millions of them.\\n\\n**Richa :** Thanks for sharing that story. You briefly mentioned your entrepreneurship career, so we would love to know what your first startup was like and how you feel after becoming an entrepreneur?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Well, when i was growing up, I had no concept of entrepreneurship because entrepreneurship was not a thing in the Soviet Union, in the Soviet Union everything was supposed to be centrally around like, government takes care of everything, provides free education, free healthcare, free apartments, free everything and that sucked, everything sucked, it was all horrible you know because no centralized institution can really hope to you know like, it\u2019s like, imagine if your brain tried to control all of your organs, your feet, your heart, your lungs and everything, it just doesn\u2019t work that way so it was not really working so my point is that there was no concept of entrepreneurship so I didn\u2019t have that in me but then also the Soviet Union fell apart and it was very difficult time for many people because all of their basic structures that supported them you know in some ways and now all of that was just falling apart and it was very difficult but also it gave us lots of freedom, lots of ingenuity and creativity so even as a student then, I ended up having to to make some money by being entrepreneurial a little bit like you know, I would go to different city to buy some stuff and then bring it to this city and try to sell it to people who didn\u2019t have access to it here and stuff like that, so I had a little bit of taste of entrepreneurship while in university and then I worked for a little bit at the bank and then I worked for a big american company and then in a consulting capacity implementing complex IT systems and then I made a good friend (we have been good friends ever since) then who suggested that we should leave that company and we should start our own business so we ended up doing so and I really had no clue what I was doing so we just left that company, the three of us, and then we started our first serious business which was a joint venture with a danish software company, so yeah that was my first business.\\n\\n**Richa :** That\u2019s amazing, so you\u2019ve had so much experience you know bootstrapping companies while running maybe three successful businesses, so what\u2019s some of the lessons that you\u2019ve learned through your experience and what\u2019s your advice for founders who are entering the space now?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** I try to stay away from advice because you know all advice is really specific to a particular moment, particular person, particular situation. In terms of my own lessons there were so many. Entrepreneurship is such an amazing, exciting and challenging journey where you get to learn so much and it will keep challenging you. For me as a guy who grew up basically being \u201call about knowing stuff\u201d, being a nerd, into math and whatever sciences.\\n\\nSo computers were really eye-opening, especially to realize that you can create the perfect technology, piece of software but have nobody to care about it, your business would just die right? So one huge lesson early on was that you have to sell it, you have to promote it and again growing up in the Soviet Union, the whole concept of selling and marketing was totally foreign. As you learn about this, for me as a guy who is smart and technical, it was like \u201coh, I have to talk to people and try to convince them, oh my god this is scary\u201d. But yeah eventually, I found my groove and realized that good selling is not about pushing the stuff that you have created into others but it\u2019s really about understanding what the world needs, what people need to adjust to it.\\n\\nThat\u2019s really for me, the whole concept of capitalism of entrepreneurship, it\u2019s really about solving people\u2019s problems. It\u2019s not anything else. It\u2019s like you try to identify what is the problem, who are the people who have this problem, then try to figure out the solution. Hopefully, this solution is better than other existing solutions. Then you keep listening to your customers to keep improving. You know the solution, you know what you are offering. Make it better, present it better to build up your reputation. That\u2019s really what entrepreneurship is. These were the first wave of lessons.\\n\\nThere are many others, like think of any business however unique it is, but also think about this in a structured way: a business has to build stuff, a business has to sell and market stuff, a business has to have a controlling accounting function and a business has to have a people function.\\n\\nThere are awesome frameworks out there, so it\u2019s really important to think about business. I mean it\u2019s useful, I found that to think about business in a very structured way, so that was another layer of lessons around that. Additionally, of course eventually you realize that a business is built on people. In my personal experience, I\u2019ve been \u201call in\u2019\u2019 tech businesses. In tech businesses you get to work with really smart amazing people. I love working with them but they can also be very hard to work with because if so many of us are smart, we end up over-aligning our brains. We think we know what\u2019s happening and we know it better than anybody else. We\u2019re so much smarter than everybody else but learning humility, learning about human emotions and emotional intelligence and all of the soft skills, that\u2019s a different dimension of learning. An extremely important one.\\n\\nSo in business it\u2019s really about understanding people, understanding why this person is working here. On the surface you can say, you know we pay them money and they do what I tell them but that\u2019s basically because, again in high-tech business if you want to build a successful high-tech business, you work with smart people, smart people who create amazing technologies can find jobs very easily. They\u2019re not really here for whatever money they\u2019re making here, money is useful and important and great resources but it is really important for them to understand why this business exists, what it does, is it making anything good? Are we here just to try to make some money? and spend that money? That\u2019s not exciting, right.\\n\\nThe purpose of a business is extremely important to understand, being human in the business. How we interact with each other as equal human beings versus like an old school hierarchy, \u201coh i\u2019m the important boss, I told you to do this, \u201cgo on\u201d and do this thing right\u201d. This doesn\u2019t work with smart people. They will tell you to \u201cgo on\u201d and go to some other place. This happens all the time.\\n\\nFor me, those learnings were extremely important. The human side of the equation of building technological business. This also brings me to ethereum, a wonderful yet extremely complicated technology. After eight years it\u2019s been around the complexity, unimaginable right?\\n\\nI have a bare superficial grasp of the complexity and the technical aspects of this. But also a really good grasp of the human aspects of ethereum, of all the amazing people of their ecosystem, of all the builders and all their startups. I have a really good sense of what it\u2019s about. That gives me a lot of interest and confidence in what is happening to entrepreneurship.\\n\\nIt\u2019s awesome to have a great technological idea but then mapping that idea to problems people have, mapping that to the mission, the purpose, the correctness of the business. Mapping that to the structure of a business that can unite people that can help support each other. To help people open up to their full potential, that\u2019s exciting stuff!\\n\\n**Harsh :** Definitely!\\n\\n**Richa :** That\u2019s some amazing entrepreneurial and also life lessons, all your experiences thank you so much for sharing all of that.\\n\\n**Harsh:** Awesome, so I think it\u2019s February now, so the new metrics has been one of the\\n\\nearliest adopters to when it comes to crypto, so I just wanted to know what excited you the most about bitcoin and building on that and what was your first reaction when you learned about ethereum?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** I have a curious mind so for me, learning about bitcoin was just an extremely interesting concept. I learned about it pretty much by accident, I think it was mentioned on a podcast that i\u2019ve been listening for many years the podcast was about security of information systems but the guy (Steve Gibson) had a very curious mind and he mentions all these kinds of stuff, he mentioned bitcoin so I looked it up and explored it and it seemed like such a fascinating technology which was trying to create money without any kind of central authority and again, I cannot say that I paid a lot of attention to bitcoin and crypto until Vitalik really got into crypto space and then after seeing his interest in that, I started paying more attention and you know with his involvement and bitcoin magazine i started reading all of the\\n\\nissues of bitcoin magazine and that was one of the skills that Vitalik always had that he could take a very complex thing right and all of those things people were trying to build on top of bitcoin or enhance bitcoin in some ways and then he could explain it really well for relatively non-technical people so i enjoyed learning through all of those articles and eventually eight years ago when Vitalik came up with their concept of Ethereum and i remember like in this very house where i\u2019m sitting right now and he was sitting upstairs at the table and he showed me like \u201coh hey, check it out i\u2019ve been working on this thing you know here\u2019s a little white paper description of what it is and what do you think about this\u201d right and i read the document and even though i only had the superficial knowledge of character but his writing was always very precise and concise and well and you know easy to understand so i\u2019m reading this like, this makes total sense right and I mentioned that a few times that there\u2019s the analogy that came to me and I used it quite a lot but bitcoin like, it was such an awesome invention for digital trustless money, I observed the emergence of internet so i saw the early websites that were built on html, just lines and maybe some colors, some images and then they became this interactive complicated, flashy, complex systems. When the programming languages were added to internet like EB script and javascript and whatnot, and for me ethereum was like, I could see that here\u2019s this technology, but if we add programming language on top of this then it will become infinitely more flexible and you can do so much more with that right, the sky is the limit and then of course I had really no idea how complicated that would be and i guess Vitalik had some idea of how complicated that would be but nobody could have imagined the journey that was undertaken by the idea of ethereum over the last eight years.\\n\\n**Harsh :** Yep, I mean I love that analogy, by the way I read about it but he wanted to hear it again, so like Vitalik is someone we all look up to, his creation, his vision, I mean we are here because you know he created this thing. So, we would like to know a bit more about him, I would love to know how he was like while he was growing up.\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Actually, today a really great article came out on COINTELEGRAPH and I highly recommend that you check it out, I mean it was pretty obvious early on that he was very intelligent, he learned to read very early on, he loved numbers and he learned math and when we gave him our old IBM pc, he started playing with that and microsoft excel became his favorite toy and initially it was just like drawing stuff and typing stuff randomly but then you know he learned different formulas and he started doing stuff so one could see that he really enjoyed learning those abstract concepts and interactions with complex systems and math and stuff like that. So when we moved to Canada, he was only six years old when we started living there and again learning a new language was a bit of a challenge but not a huge deal necessarily. Then he went to school and it was clear to his teachers that he was extremely gifted and then he ended up going to a gifted school and then we also sent him to all kinds of extra curriculum teachers and facilities to help him learn all kinds of stuff and yeah I mean that\u2019s really something specific because there\u2019s so much stuff.\\n\\n**Harsh :** Got it, so let\u2019s go with what\u2019s your favorite or one of your favorite moments with Vitalik?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Like there are so many of them right, but you know any parent knows that when you have children especially, when they are young, you want to buy them toys that you could not afford when you were growing up and i\u2019m no exception so I remember when I was trying to buy him all kinds of lego sets because i used to dream about them and you know in the Soviet Union, there wasn\u2019t much that you could get your hands on. No legos that\u2019s for sure and the funny thing is that when he started playing with them, i think there\u2019s a picture in their article today, like instead of building houses and stuff he was actually building numbers like \u201chere\u2019s five!\u201d \u201chere\u2019s six!\u201d and you know you could see that, numbers, they played a very important part in this, so I mean that\u2019s kind of one of those little moments but again there are so many like teaching him to ride the bike, and you know getting him to try his first burger and all of those things.\\n\\n**Harsh :** That\u2019s so awesome to know. Moving back to butane time, so as an investor and without naming any project geometry can you share any funny or weird experience you had with someone?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** I cannot think of a particular situation, I mean there are times where I talked to a lot of people about a lot of things and the thing is like I find it surprising that for a lot of people it\u2019s hard for them to communicate a specific question because people reach out to me and i don\u2019t mind that at all and i\u2019m very open to people reaching out to communicate and then they give me so much information I look at all of this like \u201doh my god\u201d okay, I don\u2019t like getting overwhelmed and then I always ask him okay what is one specific question that you want me to answer right and it\u2019s really funny because people then have a very hard time answering that and then they try to reiterate like, i did this and blah blah blah and my system like wait all of this is fine this is great like awesome but what is the specific question? like do you want me to invest money into this, do you want this?\\n\\n**Harsh :** That\u2019s so amazing and it\u2019s something that we all can learn from. All right @Demetry, next one okay, this is interesting, so who owns step 3 and what the hell is going on with Jack?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Well, I mean again, people, it\u2019s so interesting because we humans, we try to make some sense out of this world and you know the world, it\u2019s very complex right and we come up with a name and then we came to know what it means and, this means that, and love means this, and happiness means that, you know everyone,s just whipped through the same thing like what the hell is webtree, well it\u2019s our name of a cloud of emerging things that probably has something to do with decentralized technologies and creep the base and blah blah blah and you know the definitions are happening right now and like I\u2019ve never met Jack and I don\u2019t know him but it sounds like Jack is really into the camp of people who think that bitcoin is one and perfect solution to everything right and I don\u2019t really believe that it\u2019s feasible and again it\u2019s really funny because the thing is I understand that in his own world he knows it really well that this is the perfect answer to everything like, in my world I know perfectly well that he\u2019s wrong and you know this is how the world is. We all, each human being, we live in our own world, the world we constructed based on all of our personal knowledge and our brain genetics and whatnot. Human mind wants to find something perfect and static and simple that will keep us safe and happy and whatnot.\\n\\n**Harsh :** Right, so Dmitry my last question to you is that, in these eight years, ethereum has evolved so much so we want to know what is your vision for ethereum going to 2022 and for the upcoming future?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** If we look specifically for 2022, for me I see that we get into the fruition of all this level two technologies to scale Ethereum because again, ethereum is in so much demand that you know all the improvements that are being worked on the base layer are not able to sustain this huge level of demand and this is fine because ethereum again, ecosystem evolved and found a new way to address that right and again i\u2019ve seen that over the years how much research and trial and error and thinking and whatever went into this and there was a plasma and there was this and that, and now we finally have this amazing solutions finally live and people are using them and they\u2019re growing like crazy, so for me 2022 is very likely the era of ethereum L2s, I think and hopefully we will see lots and lots of people using those systems because again they\u2019re much faster, they\u2019re much cheaper and all of that stuff i would also say that we might see the emergence of some new areas of some new types of systems being built on top of decentralized blockchain starting with yorum, i\u2019m thinking about decentralized social media, i\u2019m thinking identity systems and things like that. So it definitely seems like that\u2019s\\n\\ngoing to be happening and in general i\u2019m very excited like all of that stuff for me conceptually is really about giving more opportunities to so many more people around the world, so when Jack talks about like \u201coh vc funded blah blah blah\u201d i don\u2019t really get it, like what the hell is everybody talking about like connection they can learn programming they can do this they can actually go online, they can start using you know systems like polygon, optimal, orbitrum and they can contribute, they can make some money, they can play games like axi infinity make some money there, for me, this is amazing, the empowerment of humans around the world to create, to participate the economy to own their own money, the money that cannot be censored by their governments by anybody else that like i\u2019m so excited for that in 2022 and beyond that like it\u2019s beautiful.\\n\\n**Harsh :** Exactly, I mean that\u2019s something that I feel as well, basically you have the power to create a global bank and all you need is a computer with an internet connection and you can do it from anywhere, this this is actually web3 and this is innovation like if this is not decentralization taking the power away to create bank from anywhere around the world then what is. So yeah I completely agree and this was such a fun interview Dmitry but we are not done yet, we do have a surprise sound of questions that are rapid fire which are prepared by Richa and customized to each and every person so yeah now Richa onto you.\\n\\n**Richa :** Yeah sure thanks Harsh, so these are just very fun rapid questions that i\u2019ll ask you, just take five-ten seconds to answer so if you\u2019re ready we can start.\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Sure!\\n\\n**Richa :** Awesome, so what\u2019s the best piece of advice you have received?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Understand that your own perspective is always biased, that\u2019s some solid advice.\\n\\n**Richa :** Can you show us something from your workspace right now?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** I\u2019m in my bedroom so, I don\u2019t have anything here.\\n\\n**Richa :** We\u2019ll keep it for the next times, What is one hobby of Vitalik that we all don\u2019t know about?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** He\u2019s a pretty good player of Gore, you know that game?\\n\\n**Richa :** Awesome, Who came up with the name Vitalik and why?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** We came up with this name between myself and his mom, i barely remember how that happened, a number of factors but i think one of them was that i had a childhood friend, he was a bit older and a very awesome guy who was a little bit of a mentor being a few years older to me when i was getting into electronics and stuff like that so that was his name so somehow that name felt good to me.\\n\\n**Richa :** Nice cool,and what\u2019s your favorite food?\\n\\n**Dmitry:** There are so many, I love so many different types of food it\u2019s hard for me to find just\\n\\none but I love pastry I\u2019ll go with pastry croissants.\\n\\n**Richa:** We\u2019ll take that croissants, awesome, what\u2019s the first thing that comes to your mind when i say the following words, Russia?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Pain\\n\\n**Richa :** NFTs\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Beauty\\n\\n**Richa :** What do you like to do, Sing or Dance?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Sing, that feels more natural to me.\\n\\n**Richa :** Awesome, would you like to sing something?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Not really.\\n\\n**Richa :** All right, speed or decentralization your pick?\\n\\n**Dmitry:** Decentralization. I\u2019m a big believer in long-term solutions like life is not a sprint, life is a marathon.\\n\\n**Richa:** Yeah, multichain?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** Whatever happens reality will know better.\\n\\n**Richa :** Awesome, really be on the lookout for that, uh your top three projects of ethereum are?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** MakerDAO, Uniswap and i\u2019ll say AAVE\\n\\n**Richa :** All the OGs and finally, Dmitry, what does ethereum mean to you?\\n\\n**Dmitry :** For me, it\u2019s a movement for really bright adn smart people who want to change the world for the better and who are doing this in a way that they\u2019re having fun, nobody\u2019s controlling and nobody is structuring that it\u2019s very messy, it\u2019s very disorganized, it\u2019s very inefficient, it\u2019s nothing like a well organized VC funded corporation/startup whatever, but it\u2019s so beautiful, it\u2019s so resilient, it\u2019s so creative that it\u2019s unstoppable.\\n\\n**Harsh :** Awesome, alright so this brings us to the end of the interview, thank you so much Dmitry for coming over here and for sharing some of the really cool answers, now we get to know Vitalik a bit more and we get to know about your journey in such a glorious fashion, all right, i think we can wrap it up over here and to all our viewers see you next time bye!\\n\\nHere is the link to the youtube video if you want to watch the whole interview : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v1wzCkS9G4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v1wzCkS9G4)"},{"id":"how-to-get-started-with-epns","metadata":{"permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/how-to-get-started-with-epns","source":"@site/blog/2022-01-25-how-to-get-started-with-epns/index.md","title":"How to Get Started with EPNS (for Devs!)","description":"How to Get Started with EPNS (for Devs!)","date":"2022-01-25T00:00:00.000Z","formattedDate":"January 25, 2022","tags":[{"label":"Epnsproject","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/epnsproject"},{"label":"Web3","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/web-3"},{"label":"Blockchain","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/blockchain"},{"label":"Notifications","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/notifications"},{"label":"Developer","permalink":"/push-website/pr-preview/pr-962/blog/tags/developer"}],"readingTime":3.0633333333333335,"hasTruncateMarker":true,"authors":[{"name":"Push Protocol","url":"https://twitter.com/pushprotocol","imageURL":"/assets/blog/authors/authorpush.png","key":"push"}],"frontMatter":{"slug":"how-to-get-started-with-epns","title":"How to Get Started with EPNS (for Devs!)","description":"How to Get Started with EPNS (for Devs!)","authors":["push"],"image":"./cover-image.webp","text":"EPNS is an open-source, decentralized notification protocol.

The protocol went live on [Ethereum Mainnet on Jan 11th](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/the-epns-mainnet-is-here-470faec0c01) and it now has 19 official channels by major projects in Web3 including ENS, MakerDAO, Coindesk and dYdX.\\n\\nAny service, protocol, or individual who wants to send notifications could start right away with EPNS. **In this post, we\u2019ve made it easy to learn how to get started.**\\n\\n# EPNS Integration\\n\\nThe initial step for EPNS integration is **channel creation**. Here is the [**step-by-step guide on how to create a channel**](https://medium.com/ethereum-push-notification-service/getting-started-with-epns-ca2dd7f43329).\\n\\nOnce the channel is created, the channel owner could start sending notifications from the dApp and receive notifications on all of the EPNS platforms \u2014 dApp, Android App, iOS App, Browser Extension.\\n\\n# **Integrating with the Backend SDK**\\n\\nThe back-end SDK allows developers & protocols to access EPNS Protocol functionalities from within their backends and implement custom logic for notifications. This SDK also comes packed with tooling for easy debugging and testing of notifications through the _simulate_ object.\\n\\nCheck-out our [**Starter guide to implementing the EPNS backend SDK**](https://github.com/push-protocol/backend-sdk-starter-code)**.** The quickest way to get started using our SDK.\\n\\nHere is how you can integrate the SDK to your back-end server:\\n\\n**Step 1:** Install the npm package\\n\\n```\\nnpm install @epnsproject/backend-sdk\\n//this is the package for our production environment**OR**npm install @epnsproject/backend-sdk-staging\\n//this is the package for our staging environment recommended for testing.\\n```\\n\\n**Step 2:** Import the package.\\n\\n```\\nimport EpnsSDK from \\"@epnsproject/backend-sdk\\"\\n// for production**OR**import EpnsSDK from \\"@epnsproject/backend-sdk-staging\\"\\n// for testing or development.\\n```\\n\\n**Step 3:** Initialise the SDK instance.\\n\\n```\\n// the private key of the address which you used to create a channel\\nconst CHANNEL\\\\_PK = \'0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000fff\';// Initialise the SDK\\nconst epnsSdk = new EpnsSDK(CHANNEL\\\\_PK);const CHANNEL\\\\_PK = \'0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000fff\';
