Into the Permaweb 2
If you are reading this, you should have gotten a digital wallet for the permaweb and published your first permapage and created your web3 permaprofile. In this workshop, we are going to get Vouched using the VouchDAO twitter service, learn about the STAMP Protocol and how to participate in the community, use img.arweave.dev to upload a digitaly generated image.
Step 1: VouchDAO
VouchDAO is a organization that manages trusted services responsible for identifying humans on a permisionless and trustless network. We will use the twitter-vouch.arweave.dev service to get vouched. You need a twitter account that has been in service for at least 30 days and does not look like a bot. This workflow will go through the process of identifying you as a human.
What do you need to get vouched? (Arweave Wallet, and Twitter Account)
- Lets make sure we have a wallet, go to https://arweave.app/add and create a wallet.
- Go to https://vouch-twitter.arweave.dev and connect with your wallet.
- Then send a tweet with the account you want to vouch for
- Wait a few minutes and click submit
Step 2: STAMPs Protocol
The STAMPs protocol is about capturing social capital for creative content, this capital in web 2 is valueless, but with web3 we believe it can transfer into real monetizable value. That is the great STAMPs protocol experiement, it is based on an additive-sum economy. The main principles are the following:
- Creators should be rewarded for the value they create
- Content should be open to everyone
- Humans should be able to transfer attirbution of content in the form of a STAMP: (signed timestamped attribution of value, or love for the work)
- STAMPs generate rewards for the creator
- Rewards can be exchanged for value
Now that you are vouched, lets discover some content, you can go to https://now.arweave.dev and look at the hottest content on the permaweb. If you enjoy the content delivered, then connect your wallet and STAMP it.
Congrats!
You are a permaweb STAMPer! Welcome to the community!
