Ollie Cookies

Ollie Cookies is an innovative Chrome extension that revolutionizes the way internet users interact with their browsing data. Our project addresses the longstanding issue of users giving away valuable data for free, often unknowingly, to large tech companies who profit from it. Key features:

1. Anonymous and encrypted data collection: The extension collects browsing data while preserving user privacy.
2. User monetization: Users can earn money from their browsing habits, turning a previously one-sided transaction into a mutually beneficial exchange.
3. Data marketplace: We've created a platform where advertisers and marketers can purchase high-quality, verified user data.
4. Identity verification: Integration with World ID ensures all users are real people, maintaining data integrity.
5. Privacy-first approach: Utilizing Oasis Sapphire for handling sensitive data, ensuring user information remains secure and encrypted.
6. Gas-free rewards: Users can withdraw their earnings without incurring gas fees.

The process is simple:

1. Users install the Ollie Cookies Chrome extension.
2. They authenticate using World ID.
3. The extension collects anonymized browsing data as users surf the web.
4. This data is securely stored and made available on our marketplace.
5. When buyers purchase the data, profits are distributed to the users.
6. Users can easily withdraw their earnings through the extension.

Ollie Cookies aims to create a more equitable internet ecosystem where users have control over their data and can benefit from its value, while providing businesses with access to high-quality, verified information.

Ollie Cookies is built using a combination of cutting-edge technologies to ensure security, privacy, and efficiency:

1. Chrome Extension: Developed using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. It handles user interaction, data collection, and communication with our backend.
2. Backend Server: Built with Node.js and Express.js, it manages API endpoints for data storage and retrieval.
3. World ID Integration: We use the IDKitWidget from @worldcoin/idkit for user authentication, ensuring all users are real individuals and preventing bot activity.
4. Oasis Sapphire: Leveraged for its confidential smart contract capabilities. We use it to securely store and process sensitive user data, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access.
5. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System): Utilized for decentralized storage of collected data, enhancing data resilience and reducing central server load.
6. React Frontend: Our marketplace interface is built using React, providing a smooth and responsive user experience.
7. Smart Contracts: Developed using Solidity and deployed on the Oasis Sapphire network, these handle the logic for data transactions and reward distribution.

One particularly innovative aspect is our use of Oasis Sapphire's confidential smart contracts. This allows us to perform data aggregation and transactions while keeping individual user data encrypted and private, even from us as the platform operators. We also implemented a custom anonymization process in the Chrome extension, using techniques like URL parsing and user agent hashing to collect meaningful data without compromising user privacy.

The integration of World ID not only provides secure authentication but also adds a layer of trust to our marketplace, assuring data buyers of the quality and authenticity of the information they're purchasing.

By leveraging these technologies, we've created a secure, efficient, and user-centric platform that reimagines the relationship between internet users and their data.
