From YouTube: From Proof to Production with 3Box

Description

Danny Zuckerman from 3Box joined us to talk about all the things 3Box was able to do in 2020. From Ceramic to IDX, plus 3Box’s many API products, 2020 was a big year.

Thanks for having me here guys and I'd echo what everyone else has said, um it's awesome to see so many folks who were building with and the 2020 journey for us was really about building towards unified web 3 identity and data, which wouldn't be possible with so many other projects here. So I'll. Try and keep this pretty quick and some high level um some of the most important things we have this year. So january feels like ages ago, I'm sure to everyone.

A

um But that was when we really finished out our first suite of products, so complete ipfs-based user and data management suite for developers to build with profiles and messaging and storage, especially in the ethereum ecosystem, to making it really easy to use decentralized, identity and data, and so that's kind of wrapped up what we always envisioned as the first set of products that we were building at three buffs.

A

um We're excited to see a bunch of growth, especially in the theorem ecosystem, right after that, as soon as we had especially private messaging, which was the last thing that we shipped in january growth started. Taking off, we hit 15 000, end users.

A

uh And then uh we always um wanted to pull out some of the core identity functionality that was tying ethereum keys to identities, into ipfs-based databases and, starting about this time. Last year we had been working on how to do that, and in may we released the spec for ceramic protocol, which I think a lot of you are familiar with, and this was laying out how we envisioned using a bunch of the tech built by protocol labs and others to put the key links between keys and identities and data in the public domain.

A

So it was truly decentralized to truly interoperable, completely cross network and really easy to leverage across the web. 3 stack.

A

While we were doing that, three bucks continued to grow um faster than we expected at times in july, we hit 1000 apps that were built on three bucks that has continued to take off since then, but it's been really incredible to see the way the different projects like metamask and theory on the graph and a whole bunch of others have built using these tools in a whole bunch of different ways, from backup and sync across devices and end users without having to rely on a server to interoperable profiles and a bunch of other things.

A

It's just been awesome to see how people put this to you some ways we didn't really envision.

A

uh Flash forward to september and we released what we view as kind of the next iteration on decentralized identity across the ecosystem identity index, which is a cross-network decentralized identity, standard again built on ceramic network that lets any key from any blockchain, be mapped to any user identity and pointed to any resource, including textile bb's orbit. Dbs posted anywhere and we've released a alpha library called idx that people started building on today. To make this happen.

A

In november, we collaborated with protocol labs and textile and the engineering foundation and others um on the daggers, a standard for signed and encrypted data on ipfs making it really easy. This has been a pain point for us and a whole bunch of others for quite a while.

A

So this makes it really easy to use encrypted data on ipfs from from any wallet, especially in the ethereum ecosystem, with eip-2844 really paving the way for ipfs to be a standard for for private data in web3 and then just to share a little preview of what's coming later this month, we're going to be releasing clay.

A

The ceramic test net ahead of a main net launch early next year, so we'll keep this community very in the loop on that, but we're very excited to get more and more folks, building on ceramic test net soon and definitely reach out a whole bunch of links here. Come drop by our discord.

A

Chat.Ceramic.Network we're in there all the time, building everything in the open, we'd love to hear from you guys and build with you. You.
