Introduction - What is VWBL? ("Viewable")

VWBL is a distributed media protocol that provides decentralized access control over NFT metadata.

Decentralized Access Control

VWBL is an on-chain, condition-based, decentralized access control protocol. The VWBL protocol enables the creation of NFTs which only rightful NFT owners can fully access their owned digital content. By utilizing the VWBL protocol, developers can create services to provide blockchain users (NFT creators and digital content consumers) with decentralized encryption functionality.

Why is decentralized encryption valuable?

We believe that a decentralized access control (encryption) technology will allow digital content creators true ownership and control of their digital creations. This technology will enhance the meaning of 'owning' digital content via NFTs in the open internet.

Encrypted data allows only authorized users access to specific digital data. In Web2.0 services, the encryption keys are managed by a centralized service/company, in which the centralized service/company has the freedom to change conditions and rules of access anytime and are often incompatible with other companies/services. This comes at the detriment of the content creator and as well to end users.

VWBL, a natural evolution of NFTs

VWBL is a natural evolution of NFT technology, providing basic freedoms and control to content owners and creators. By decentralizing access control with VWBL, we believe content creators will regain true ownership and freedom over how they choose to publish and distribute their content. VWBL NFTs will live along side traditional NFTs as they inherently serve different needs and purposes.

Primary Functionality

Security - Access Control

VWBL's primary feature is a decentralized access control protocol. VWBL NFT owners are able to fully own/see their digital content, while non-owners may be given access to a simple preview of the digital content (defined by the VWBL NFT creator).

Only NFT Owners can fully access their rightfully owned Digital Content with VWBL

Freedom of Choice - Chain Integration

VWBL is currently running on top of Ethereum and Polygon. There are continued plans to integrate with other chains (such as Solana), as we plan to allow freedom for creators to choose their chain of choice. ​​ The VWBL protocol allows service developers to utilize on-chain access conditions via smart contracts. Some samples include:

  • User is a ​the specific NFT owner
  • User is a ​member of DAO
  • User is a liquidity provider of a specific token (e.g. WETH/UNI/etc.) pool
  • User has voted in protocol governance
  • The result of any smart contract view call
  • Etc. (Developers can extend the VWBL On-chain Access Conditions to their needs)
