Index Network and Lit Protocol: Enabling Composable Discovery Engines
Summary
- Index Network enables creators to build contextual discovery engines by indexing their own information to ComposeDB. It supports composable queries across these engines, allowing for a diverse and rich discovery experience.
- Lit Protocol plays a fundamental role in facilitating trustless collaboration through NFT ownership. It allows creators to specify on-chain criteria for collaboration and provides signatures to those who meet those criteria.
- Index Network utilizes two services of Lit Protocol: Programmable Key Pairs (PKPs) and Lit Actions. PKPs are generated through Distributed Key Generation (DKG), ensuring the security of private keys. Lit Actions are immutable rules assigned to PKPs that specify their signing logic.
- By utilizing Lit Protocol, Index Network enables granular management of permissions for indexing new documents by incorporating NFT ownership as a criterion.
- The collaboration between Index Network and Lit Protocol opens up possibilities for organizing information in a powerful way by customizing signing rules and granting specific rights to different users.
- Index Network introduces a user-friendly approach by simplifying user interactions through the verification of necessary permissions and the use of Sign in with Ethereum (SIWE) messages.
- Lit Actions can be triggered by various events, allowing for automated indexing of different data types, such as on-chain media and DAO proposals.
- The mission of Index Network is to enable greater participation in discovery and ensure diverse perspectives and opinions are visible on the open web. The partnership with Lit Protocol aligns with this mission by introducing new groups to the discovery ecosystem.
- Index Network is an open-source project currently available on testnet, and feedback is welcomed.
