swarmkey
a fully p2p file marketplace
About
The problem it solves swarmkey solves the problem that there are currently no cool, useful & **fully** decentralized applications out there... swarmkey is a p2p marketplace for buying and selling decryption keys for files. this allows creators of digital content (ebooks, videos, photo albums, software, etc..) to sell directly to their following. all a buyer and seller need to transact are: - the site's reference hash (bzz://5defd7eff5b8787273a8c73445d228f87d32d76293eeba4e2dccfd5aee6d35a9)) - the Freedom browser (https://freedombrowser.eth.limo/) - a bit of xDAI on Gnosis Chain when a swarmkey user creates a profile, they control their data! it is stored locally, and encrypted back-ups can be published to Swarm --this will allow for future 'cloud back-up' functionality enabling users to share data between devices. swarmkey cuts out the middlemen using a combination of cryptography (zk proofs, symmetric encryption, asymmetric encryption, hashing) and decentralized networks (Swarm, Gnosis Chain). no more intermediaries! no more permissions! no more hassle! download Freedom browser and try out swarmkey today!
How it's made
Challenges we ran into poor documentation overcome with brute force, sleep deprivation and burning a lot of codex tokens
