August marks a significant milestone for decent.land as we introduce a refined mission and new flagship protocol.
Our journey started in 2021 with a vision to build social and identity primitives on Arweave. The first public app under the decent.land name – a way to create a permanent username on Arweave – evolved into ANS, and as the expansive web3 social landscape matured, we developed Ark Protocol. Ark enables identities from any chain to transfer their reputation into the Arweave social ecosystem. We have always maintained our belief that while Arweave is the perfect chain for storage, it needs infrastructure for deeper interoperability with the broader universe of web3.
Reborn as
Freedom and ownership was web1’s promise, broken by web2 – a mistake we’re determined not to replicate. The future is multi-chain, interconnected and open.
THE MISSION
The future is multi-chain, but a multitude of walled gardens is no improvement over the web2 conditions we seek to escape. The new web will be built on a pool of easily accessible data that can power permanent applications without sacrificing UX.
We recognize the steep learning curve associated with web3 dApps, which often require users to manage keys, buy gas and grasp alien concepts. This can deter mainstream web2 developers and users. Therefore, we are dedicated to enhancing the user experience, making it more intuitive and accessible for everyone.
Recognizing both the potential of web3 and the challenges it presents, we pivoted into building solutions to make web3 more accessible, to improve interoperability across different blockchains, and to enhance dApp UX. We hope our new flagship protocol, the
ANNOUNCING THE MOLECULAR EXECUTION MACHINE
MEM is a developer platform designed to facilitate the building, testing, and deploying of serverless functions that leverage blockchain technology. MEM gives developers high scalability and rapid execution while abstracting away complex crypto concepts and the need for an in-depth understanding of smart contracts, transactions, wallets, or blocks.
We built MEM towards our mission of making it easier for developers to build chain-agnostic, UX-optimized dApps on the Arweave storage layer. Protocols like
Now we’re ready to let it out into the wild.
Over the last two years, we’ve learned a lot by building quickly in multiple directions and shipping tooling needed by projects like ours. Decent Land Labs will narrow its focus to developing and maintaining 4 core products:
FOCUS PROTOCOLS
-
Molecular Execution Machine (private beta) - Molecular Execution Machine (private beta). Chain agnostic smart contracts, secured by Arweave
-
namespace.gg (private beta) - Spin up any TLD name service for your DAO, dApp or protocol.
-
Ark Protocol (V3 nearing release) - Multi-chain identity linking protocol to power identity, reputation and social graphs.
-
Arweave Name Service (V1) Your identity for the permaweb – .ar domains.
Our focus protocols aim to make web3 fast, accessible and interoperable, creating an ecosystem where data and identity can flow freely, no matter the chain.
THE FUTURE
A few exciting things that are in the pipeline to share:
-
Decent Land Labs is currently raising their seed round that has been led by LD Capital, Longhash Ventures, BigBrain VC and Foresight Ventures to fuel the development of the core protocols.
-
Hackernoon will soon deploy
namespace.gg DIDs for their authors (.hackernoon domains)
-
MEM is has already built integrations to enable encrypted read/write, fiat payment processing and a dashboard for API/resource management. Our
molecule.sh makes MEM easily extensible, more features and new molecules will be rolled out on a regular basis.
