Unfortunately Darkblock will be shut down very soon. The content will be forever on Arweave, encrypted, but access will be lost when the DB network goes away. We were unable to find a way to decentralize the tech enough to keep it going. Reach out on Discord if you have questions
When it comes down to it, no one cares about decentralization.
Like me, maybe you were drawn into crypto because decentralization, economic freedom, and creator autonomy were exciting concepts (and still are).
And maybe, like me, you over indexed on using those terms when talking about the app or protocol you're building.
But work in crypto long enough and you realize (or remember, if you worked on products in web2) that people don't use a product for philosophical reasons.
People use products that...
➡️make their lives easier
➡️solve persistent problems
➡️save them money
➡️make them money
Your job as a builder is to identify the immediate benefits your product provides and hammer those whenever you talk about what you're building, whether on your website, on socials, or in conversation.
Repeatedly saying your product enables the "decentralization" of this or that won't lead to success.
Finding, engaging, and keeping users (because you solve an immediate pain point) leads to success.
It's not selling out to take a capitalist approach. If we're successful at using blockchain tech to benefit users, we can rest free knowing that decentralization, economic freedom, and creator autonomy will be the future dividends of our work.
Any guess where this lighthouse was taken ?

Thank God the Egyptians didn't delete any walls or have them as a #404. My early OG works still available on @opensea and made permanent by @Darkblockio on #Arweave

@rareperkins Definitely not. People still think they're JPEGs. In the future, NFTs will simply be the container for all forms of multimedia files - ebooks, videos, music tracks, GLBs, etc. That's what we're building at @darkblockio

RIP Kalamint…
Back in 2022, Kalamint was one of the first NFT marketplaces to recognize the importance of our protocol and the value that’s unlocked once artists and creators can separate an NFT’s unlockable content from centralized platforms. Token-bound content is the future!
Want to create locked content unlockable only by the NFT holders? You now CAN!!!
Kalamint brings onchain unlockables powered by @darkblockio

I've been a digital fine artist since Crypto Kitties on the Codex Protocol platform circa 2017...
Just like an old unused Google email Codex has vanished https://t.co/MfKGhodE5d
But I'm still archiving everything to Arweave through @darkblockio https://t.co/naYiOUD2Hy
In other words, your comics are encrypted, decentrally stored & permanently attached to your NFT so you’ll always have access—NOT locked away in a platform’s walled garden and only accessible as long as the platform survives!
We appreciate your confidence in us!
Though our plan is for the Darkblock protocol to provide ~decentralized~ unlockables—meaning artists like you don't need to trust any centralized platform to deliver exclusive content to fans ���
🥳Exciting update for DexAppBuilder users! 📣
We've integrated @darkblockio, a decentralized protocol enabling content creators to share exclusive content directly with fans. No more centralized token-gating! Explore on the Asset page / Integrations in DexAppBuilder now! 🔥

We just introduced support for our sixth blockchain!
As of this week, Darkblock now supports #PulseChain, which opens up a world of possibilities for creators, users, and developers in that ecosystem.

Awesome @darkblockio use case for music.. want to have just the drums, vocals, beats, cowbell, bass, etc tracks from a song? you can provide them for over 200 years to whoever holds the NFT in the future.. no website subscription needed..
