Fuse partners with Arcana
Fuse partners with Arcana web3 privacy stack for devs to onboard users & manage their data. Arcana’s tech stack is now available for projects in the Fuse ecosystem.
Wishing to onboard users with social logins and create wallets. It will also incorporate decentralized data storage and access management into their applications.
Despite its meteoric rise, blockchain technology and Web 3 still have not achieved mass adoption. Two potential reasons for this are the friction that the blockchain adds by making users set up wallets before using apps relying on them.
How the network runs
For example, for all its centralization issues, Web 2.0 has provided netizens with the convenient option. Interacting with many applications and websites using just their social media accounts.
While Web3-powered login approaches (using Metamask, for instance) have also been developed, they still require users to install and use additional tools like Metamask, which may be a barrier to many users who are just accustomed to using their Google or Facebook to connect to desired apps.
Similarly, many decentralized applications (dApps) have to rely on centralized data storage solutions as storing data directly on the blockchain is either too expensive or downright impossible (for large files) due to the inherent limitations. Meanwhile, those decentralized storage solutions that have emerged often leave a lot to be desired in terms of user-friendliness and the ease of development on top of them. They also lack on-chain access control to the data stored, limiting the shareability of the data.
Arcana solve the problem
Arcana Network (Arcana) solves these points of friction with its Privacy Stack: a data storage and management stack for Web 3 to easily onboard users and manage the apps’ data layer.
Additionally, Arcana provides users with a range of services. It includes decentralized data storage (Store), access management (Access), and private key management enabling social logins (Auth). Files stores on Arcana is encrypt, end-to-end, assign Decentralized Identifiers (D-IDs). App developers have a choice of whether to store the data in a given region or globally depending on the requirements.
The importance of Arcana platform
The storage and handling of data on Arcana take place off-chain. With storage nodes incentivized by the platform’s native XAR token. The access to data is manage by Arcana’s Access control functionality. Whereby every object keep have a unique identity and a list of addresses that can access it, along with the type of access that each of them is a grant. Arcana runs its own Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible blockchain.
This significantly facilitates the addition of Arcana-powered functionalities to dApps. Powered by other EVM chains, as the same public-private key pair will by definition exist on both Arcana and those chains. Thus, user accounts can be easily generated with simultaneous access to the given dApp’s main chain and Arcana.
The Arcana blockchain underlies the mechanisms for access to the stored data. As well as ensuring the continuous receipt of valid proofs of storage. It relies on Proof of Stake and the staking validators. Act as challengers in the proof of replication scheme, with the resulting proofs stored on the Arcana ledger.
How Arcana work?
In addition to decentralized storage and data access management, a major use case handled by Arcana is non-custodial private key management. Arcana enables distributed generation of private keys associated with social media accounts. If an Arcana-using dApp implements social account logins (also known as OAuth). Arcana will use the login information to generate public-private key pairs for the account on the dApp’s blockchain.
How Fuse integrates Arcana
The Fuse team is delighted to announce that Arcana’s decentralized storage, identity, and access management, and private key management stack is now available to any team building applications and products on top of Fuse. To that end, developers wishing to explore the possibilities offered by the Arcana platform have access to Arcana’s software development kits (SDK’s).
One of the most interesting potential use cases that the integration with Arcana opens to the projects developing on top of Fuse is the possibility to incorporate social account logins into mobile wallets. One of the key products that the Fuse technology stack offers dApp builders is the open-source mobile wallet technology. It is use by multiple teams to quickly deploy customized wallets.
With the Arcana integration, project teams can now add social account logins to their wallets if they find it useful. They can also store data and define access to it completely on-chain. It allows users to own their data and have complete control over it.
