<aside> 🛠 This documentation and our protocols are works in progress and due to change without notice. Hey, we haven’t got to v1.0.0 yet!

</aside>

Hi stranger! On this page, you will find everything you need to know about how the two protocols we develop at Big Whale Labs work and how to use them:

1. Zero-Knowledge proofs of capital in the form of Soulbound Tokens (zkNFTs)
2. Open Blockchain Storage System as a way to store social data (OBSS)

zkNFTs

Visit sealc.red to learn more about how they work. If you own an “[email protected]” email, you can get a “@meta.com” token verifying the ownership without revealing the exact email. Then you can use this token to access gated content, talk to journalists, flex on the internet, etc. All done anonymously.

Also works for Goerli and Mainnet Ethereum NFTs. If you own a BAYC token, you can mint a BAYC-d derivative token at sealc.red that will have no connection to the original address. All done with the help of ZK.

• All of our zkNFTs are basic ERC 721 tokens
• Any tool that can work with ERC 721 tokens can work with our zkNFTs without any modifications (e.g. Guild)
• You can find the complete list of available zkNFTs at peek.sealc.red
• You don’t need any ZK knowledge to use our protocol (we deal with ZK, you use it as usual)
• The only thing you need to do to use the protocol is to pick a derivative from peek.sealc.red (mint one at sealc.red first if necessary) and call the balanceOf function to check the asset ownership

Here are a few examples:

• Checking if an Ethereum address owns a “@bwl.gg” email: balanceOf at 0x95777872e4b148416BCbbcA633A210c5588F8C3B
• Checking if an Ethereum address owns a lobsterdao NFT: balanceOf at 0x49f63fb26274fA3Bac99107dEF2fDFF0436b7781
• Checking if an Ethereum address owns a Farcaster account: balanceOf at 0x167be506C1Cf324A05D80f51f22256b41B6E6265

Using the contracts above is simple, yet no one can connect zkNFTs to the original assets, not even us! For instance, we have no idea what team members at bwl.gg own the “@bwl.gg email” zkNFTs!

Here are a few ways you can use zkNFTs:

• Post anonymously on Twitter by using echo.sealc.red but with a badge proving ownership of an email at a domain or of an NFT
• Post anonymously on Farcaster by using sealcaster.xyz if you own a Farcaster account
