Project Description

Filtion is an innovative platform that surpasses the limitations of personal web services from the Web2 era, such as blogs, Brunch(Korean blog), and Notion, by utilizing Web3 technology. This platform is designed to allow users to create and manage their own websites and writing spaces in a decentralized manner.

šŸ“Œ Differences Between Web2 and Web3

  • Limitations of Web2

Traditional Web2 services like blogs, Brunch(Korean blog), and Notion use centralized databases to store and manage data. While these services offer various features and provide convenience to users, they also have several drawbacks:

  1. Risk of Data Loss: If the database is deleted or becomes inaccessible, all the user's stored content can be lost.
  2. Limited Revenue Structure: Creators often find it difficult to generate direct revenue from their shared content.
  3. Privacy Concerns: Users must continuously provide their personal information to centralized third-party sites, which poses a high risk of personal information being exposed if these sites are hacked.
  • Innovations of Web3

Filtion leverages Web3 technology to address these issues with the following features:

  1. Decentralized Data Storage: Content is stored on blockchain, ensuring permanent preservation and reducing the risk of data loss, while also enabling transparent information sharing.
  2. Content Ownership and Revenue Generation: Creators can generate revenue from their content through various models, including content sharing profits and ownership benefits.
  3. Decentralized Site Ownership and Management: Users can create, own, and manage their own decentralized sites instead of relying on centralized third-party platforms. This grants users full control over their digital assets and the freedom to operate without intermediaries.

āœØ Key Features of Filtion

  1. ENS (Ethereum Name Service) Based Site Creation: Users can create their own sites through ENS, which converts blockchain addresses into human-readable domain names.
  2. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) Storage: Content created by users is stored on IPFS, a decentralized file storage system that ensures permanent data preservation and easy sharing.
  3. Content Monetization: Users can generate revenue from their content through various monetization models supported by Filtion.
  4. AI Image Generation: The Lilypad feature provides AI-generated, royalty-free images that users can use to decorate their blogs and for reference.
  5. Local Weather Forecasts: Using WeatherXM's Explorer, users can get an accurate weather forecast directly on their home page.
  6. Filtion on the Fleek: Filtion uses Fleek to provide a decentralized execution environment for hosting its Next.js apps.

šŸŽ” Goals

Filtion's ultimate goal is to evolve services like blogs, Brunch(Korean blog), and Notion from Web2 to Web3. This will enable users to create their own sites, generate diverse content, store it permanently, share it easily with others, and earn revenue from it.

Through this innovative approach, Filtion aims to offer content creators more autonomy and revenue opportunities, while providing users with a more transparent and stable platform.

How it's Made

šŸ› ļø Technical Features

Fleek for Next.js App Hosting

Filtion uses Fleek to provide a decentralized execution environment for hosting its Next.js apps. Hereā€™s how Fleek enhances Filtionā€™s platform:

  • Decentralized Hosting: By leveraging Fleek, Filtion hosts Next.js applications in a decentralized manner. This ensures higher performance, improved security, and greater reliability compared to traditional centralized hosting solutions.
  • Edge Functionality: Fleek allows Filtion to utilize Next.js features like image optimization as edge functions, which means these operations are performed closer to the user, resulting in faster load times and a better user experience.
  • Seamless Integration: Fleekā€™s platform integrates seamlessly with the decentralized storage solutions used by Filtion, such as IPFS and Filecoin, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow for deploying and managing content.

Decentralized Storage (Filecoin, IPFS, and FVM)

Filtion addresses traditional Web 2.0 limitations by leveraging decentralized storage technologies:

  • IPFS (InterPlanetary File System): Data is stored on a decentralized network, enhancing security and permanence.
  • Filecoin: Provides incentivized storage, ensuring that data is permanently available and securely stored.
  • FVM (Filecoin Virtual Machine): Automates data management with smart contract functionality, providing economic incentives for storage.

ENS Domains

Filtion utilizes ENS (Ethereum Name Service) to provide users with unique, blockchain-based domain names:

  • Unique Ownership: Users can own and manage their own ENS domains, creating personalized and easily shareable web addresses.
  • Secure and Transparent: Blockchain-based domain management ensures secure and transparent ownership.

Integration of WeatherXM

WeatherXM integration enhances user experience with real-time weather data:

  • Real-Time Weather Data: WeatherXM provides accurate and up-to-date weather information.
  • Enhanced Content: Content creators can use weather data to make their posts more relevant and engaging, particularly for travel, events, and outdoor activities.

Security and Privacy

  • Data Encryption: All data is encrypted during transmission and storage.
  • Privacy Protection: User personal information and data are thoroughly protected.

Filtion offers a revolutionary platform that allows individuals to create their own websites, manage content securely and efficiently, and share freely, leveraging Web 3.0 technologies. This enables users to experience a new level of digital interaction suited to the Web 3.0 era.
