SWTCH Labs

?? Exciting News from SWTCH Labs! Over the holidays, we've been hard at work building and testing our new SWTCH(X) Messenger. Powered by the robust SWTCH Protocol and Messaging layers, this platform features quantum-resistant encryption, ensuring secure, decentralized communication and file distribution. It’s the foundation for even more groundbreaking innovations to come. Stay tuned! We'll be sharing the link to download the new messenger soon. ?? #QuantumResistant #EncryptedMessaging #Decentralized #SWTCHLabs

?? Exciting Updates from SWTCH Labs! We are thrilled to announce the progress we've made on the SWTCH Platform: - SWTCH Protocol: Completed and now awaiting audits. - SWTCH Protocol Deployments: Ready for all EVM targets. - SWTCH Multi-Chain SDKs: Advancing steadily for Rust, TypeScript, and Node. - SWTCH Client Integrations: We’ve begun integrating SWTCH Multi-Chain SDK features into our products. The CLI is 90% complete and now being integrated with the DApp and Desktop versions. At SWTCH Labs, we're committed to building practical tools that empower you to launch your applications with a robust cryptographic foundation. Our platform offers ECIES by default with a DID, and for a small subscription fee, Quantum-Resistant cryptography for all your media and communications. Stay tuned for more updates!

SWTCH Labs: Advancing Decentralized Technology Following our successful Alpha phase, SWTCH Labs continues to make significant strides: 1. Fundraising: We're raising capital for SWTCH Protocol audits, quantum-resistant encryption audits, and continued growth. 2. SDK Development: Our SDKs are progressing, laying the groundwork for SWTCH Protocol smart contract interactions. These will power our CLIs, Desktop app, and DApp. 3. First Integrations: ??? Private Encrypted LLM-as-a-Service (settled with crypto) ??? P2P Encrypted Messaging Desktop ??? CLI (Encryption-as-a-Service) These showcase the potential of the SWTCH Platform, all requiring Decentralized Identities (DIDs). 4. Bitcoin Project Milestone: We've made significant progress during our research phase on our system for deploying smart contracts on a layer above Bitcoin. Achievements include: ?? ? Zero-Knowledge Proof Generation ?? ? Proof Verification with Ordinal-stored data This advancement aims to expand Bitcoin's capabilities while leveraging its security and network effects. Our goal is to deploy the SWTCH Protocol via the SWTCH Bitcoin Node, with Bitcoin Core Integration to handle the Bitcoin network functions. 5. Coming Soon: Our new website will offer DID registration, essential for accessing SWTCH services. We're excited about the growing interest in SWTCH Labs' solutions and the future of decentralized web services. For investment opportunities, please contact [email protected] or DM. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to innovate in the decentralized technology space! #Blockchain #Decentralization #CryptoInnovation #SWTCH

Exciting news: SWTCH Labs has successfully completed the Alpha phase of our protocol! We're now moving forward with smart contract audits to ensure security and reliability. We're thrilled to announce that several groups will be integrating with our technology in the coming months, demonstrating the growing interest in SWTCH Labs' solutions. What's Next: 1. Rust and TypeScript SDKs: Currently in development, entering QA next week. These will power our CLIs, Desktop app, and DApp. 2. SWTCH DApp: Based on our SDK, this will enable users and operators to build on SWTCH using Decentralized Identities (DIDs) to publish web services and build reputation on the network. 3. API Monetization: SWTCH empowers developers to monetize their APIs, opening new revenue streams. Interested in building with SWTCH? Check out our GitHub repository: https://lnkd.in/gEGKWR3h We're excited about the future of decentralized web services. Stay tuned for more updates!

SWTCH has created a "Proof of Contribution" smart contract to enable a rewards system, for SWTCH Contributors and Developers to earn SWTCH tokens. We will not have an airdrop. SWTCH network tokens require work to be earned. Users may contribute by posting and re-posting and it will be rewarded with SWTCH, post team approval. Early SWTCH Contributors will earn more tokens as they will taper as time advances. Contributions may be [Social Media Posts and Re-Posts, GitHub Commits, Others to be named] We will deploy the SWTCH DApp to support the registration of a DID for Contributors and then the supporting UI to sign the Contribution and submit to the SWTCH Protocol for approval. https://lnkd.in/gNJYegnX

We have completed the documentation phase of the SWTCH Platform and now continue building our ambitious roadmap. Follow us on Twitter as well for maximum redundancy. https://lnkd.in/gwUCHPRT

The SWTCH WhitePaper, Protocol and SDK documentation are available for review. https://lnkd.in/g7aPu6DC We have two upcoming product releases which utilize various aspects of the SWTCH Platform: - SWTCH, a decentralized encrypted messaging platform and supporting desktop with Quantum Resistant encryption. - SWTCH-CLI, a command line interface for interacting with the SWTCH Protocol, including encryption and file packaging for decentralized file storage and sharing. Feel free to DM me with your thoughts or suggestions on this project.

Exciting developments are underway at SWTCH! We're actively planning the future of the SWTCH Platform. Stay updated with our latest Issues and Roadmap here: https://lnkd.in/g5zbFpPk

During the research phase of writing the new SWTCH WhitePaper related to decentralized infrastructure, I encountered several issues related to identity. The key question arose: How do we manage identity? There are several identity systems which correlate with our goals of decentralization. Identity has been implemented extensively by all big tech companies, but are all their solutions are centralized, built to surveil and monitor our digital footprints. To ensure our security and to prevent impostors and bots from exploiting our networks we need to have decentralized identities that exist outside of these centralized systems. #Background Decentralized Identity(DID) involves the following core actors: - Holder : Creates the identity using their crypto wallet. - Issuer : A third-party who issues the identity after KYC to validate the individual or company. - Verifier : Verifiers validate the supplied claims. hashtag #Standards Existing systems for decentralized identity provide a solid specification to build on: - W3C : https://lnkd.in/eZxx-Dzi - DIF : https://lnkd.in/eHwCrjyB - ERC-725 : https://lnkd.in/eDzNn8rn - Manages unique idenitities for humans, groups, objects and machines. - Identities can perform functions such as signing, transacting, logging in, and accessing. - Claims can be attested by third parties or self-attested. - ERC-735 : https://lnkd.in/e9GZGkWg - Manages adding, removing and holding claims. - Claims can be attested by third parties, allowing DApps and smart contracts to validate the claims about a claim holder. ERC-735 manages claims for ERC-725 identities enabling a trusted identity network, by relying on external third parties to verify the identity. #DIDs Our goal is not to reinvent the wheel but to integrate valid and trusted decentralized identity systems. At the end I considered the following identity systems: - uPort(now Serto and Veramo): Manage identities via JavaScript APIs. https://veramo.io/ - Civic: Provides a tokenized identity with a smart contract interface. https://civic.com - KILT: An identity blockchain on the Polkadot network. https://www.kilt.io/ - Dock: Proposes a Web3ID a authorization API. https://www.dock.io/web3id - Polygon ID: Proposes a decentralized identity management system. https://www.polygonid.com/ - Gitcoin Passport: Uses Metamask and Wallet Connect to verify humanity. https://lnkd.in/eb88r68Q - Universal Profiles: Create a universal profile which has a custom Chrome Wallet plugin. https://lnkd.in/gVZdKeBG Feel free to reach out and let me know of other DID systems that I may have missed, as my search wasn't as exhaustive as I would've liked.
