[MICROGRANT] Datamorpho

[ariutokintumi]

1. What is your project?

This file standard and protocol gives any kind of file/NFT the capability to transform its data-content to a different one already obfuscated and encrypted in it using hidden states through logically programmed triggers that shows the path to deploy them.

The protocol uses IPFS realiability and cryptographic security to generate datamorphed files that remains with the same data-content but are unexpectly dynamic in their output.

This was a POC prototype for the hackathon, almost no code but is functional on real demo pruposes.

2. How will IPFS, Filecoin, or related technology be used for this project? (max 100 words)

The protocol uses IPFS realiability and cryptographic security to generate datamorphed files that remains with the same data-content but are unexpectly dynamic in their output.

We love, rely and need the reliability that IPFS protocol offers to trust the authenticity of any stored datamorphed file, 100% trackeable.

3. How will you improve your project with this grant? What steps will you take to meet this objective? (max 200 words)

-Full funcitonal API service for plain text files and JPEGs (the most requested ones) using IPFS as web3 data storage service.
-JS libraries to implement datamorphosis functionallity on web.
-Development of the isolated crucial data storage service and deploy one as alpha service "use at your own risk" agreement.

4. Is this project open source?

Yes it is, but we didn't decide which one yet.

5. Do you agree to share grant reports upon request, including a final grant report at the end of the three month period?

Yes

6. Does your proposal comply with our Community Code of Conduct?

Yes

7. Links and submissions

We only submited it to IPFS prize in ETH Global Mexico but we didn't a prize or a reply, BTW our project ranked #1 Finalist of the Hackathon.

Additional questions:

• For each team member(s), please list name, email, Github account, and role in the project.
  Prefer not to public disclose this untill grant is accepted. Can tell privately.
• How did you learn about our microgrant program?
  Saw it online looking for it.
• If your project was created as part of an event or hackathon:
  • What was the name of the event?
  • ETHGlobal Mexico.
  • https://ethglobal.com/showcase/datamorpho-omvp5

Hi @CARMINATTI, thank you for your proposal! It looks like this project is connected to this repo. Can you briefly describe the relationship?

[ariutokintumi]

Hi, This is the prorotype presented in ETHGlobal Mexico were we got the #1 Finalist place. This prototype is a PoC not using the proposed standard but resulting in a "expected behaviour" in the Human/User Experience. So, for what the project will deliver this code and implementation is not usable, but it was great to show on the ETH Global Mexico our intentions. We have a Twitter account not very updated because the project is not deliverin yet @Datamorpho please follow! If you are now at ETH Bogota we can meet in person to talk further, I'm here hacking now. I hope this clarification works for what you meant, if not feel free to ask again with more details. Thanks for your message. German ***@***.***)

Hi @CARMINATTI, thank you for your reply! Is @ben132333 a team member for this project? If so, can this contributor add a quick note to the comments confirming this?

[ariutokintumi]

Hi, Ben is one of the team members for the hackathon and prototyped the PoC function. I'll write him to ask the quick note but is not guaranteed he want to work on the further development. I hope yes. I will also invite the other hackathon team members to do the same.

This is Eduardo, i was part of Datamorpho's graphic development in EthMexico 2022

[rbensonevans]

This is Benson Evans. I was the lead system-architect-developer for Team Datamorpho. Researched the jpeg file format and tested how it could be used as an encrypted datafile to be used in a IPFS encrypted database.. Because of time constraints more work was spent on the architectural design possibilities to be implemented post-hackathon in a real system than on integration into the hack itself.

I support this grant application to further the development work.

[ben132333]

Hi @CARMINATTI,

Yes I'm part of this project. I was the dev during the hackathon.

[ariutokintumi]

Hi @ErinOCon, I hope you are great. Do you have any update on this?

By our side we were talking to IPFS people in DEVCON and also in ETH Global San Francisco past weekend and they gave us some ideas about using IPNS for key releases in a most sorted way in the free open service we want to provide (at your own risk), for the ones that don't want to make their own implementation.

Keep us updated please!

Hi @CARMINATTI, thank you for your proposal and for your patience with this review. We will not be moving forward with a grant at this time. For next steps, we would recommend researching encryption methods and mutable file systems supported by IPFS.

Please feel welcome to reapply as your building continues to progress.
