Metis CEG Program: 4th Pillar dMail & dChat

What is 4thPillar (4P)?

Community-build dMail & dChat Application perfectly aligned with decentralized fundamentals;

• Decentralized, self-custodial & modular communication platform

• Immutable & on-chain; 1 email/message = 1 Metis transaction

• Self-custodial E2E encryption via Encryptor Extension

• Self-custodial decentralized storage via PollinationX storage NFTs

• Send your first dMail via Metis Follow the user guide https://docs.the4thpillar.io/dapps-and-clients/dmail/dmail-user-guide

Why 4thPillar (4P)? One-of-a-kind on-chain model;

• Moving communication on-chain ensures the immutability and traceability of emails and messages, introducing a level of trust and security unprecedented in legacy digital communication.

• Robust & Resistant; Natively resistant to Web2 data mining, data ownership loss, censorship, spam, phishing and ID theft.

• Modular & Self-custodial; In the case of the 4P downtime, anyone can spin up and run their open-source dMail & dChat client and access their communication data.

Permissionless access; Native permissionless access prevents access restrictions and de-platforming use cases.

• Secure & Encrypted; By owning encryption keys, users can take control over their communication encryption in a true self-custodial way.

• Storage control; By utilising self-custodial decentralized storage NFTs, 4P enables users to retain data ownership, ensuring they retain full control over their communication data.

• Open source collaboration; Join our collective effort, submit issues, pull requests, or offer general feedback on GitHub.

• Next-gen Web3 UI/UX; One click connect and network switching with intuitive and modern dMail & dChat client.

• Awarded technology; In development from 2018, the underlying OCC (on-chain communication) Protocol powering 4P application received awards and recommendations from; the Adriatic Council, UNCEFACT, Edgeware, Solana, Tron and others.

Web3 Specific Features; On-chain W2W emailing and messaging

Decentralization coefficient = Metis L2

Permissionless access, no phone number required

Decentralized storage NFTs

Modularity; Network (chose between EVMs), Storage (self-custodial storage NFTs) & Encryption (self-custodial E2E communication encryption via Encryptor Extension)

NFT/token gated on-chain group chat

Option to charge an email correspondence fee

How does it work? The dChat W2W message exchange happens on-chain as one short encrypted message represents one L1/L2 blockchain transaction. As dMail is data heavier, lite encrypted JSON objects are created to hold dMail metadata. The link to this encrypted metadata and checksum is recorded on the chain as a blockchain transaction. In both cases, the core primitive described by the formula applies; 1 email/message = 1 Metis TX

• Audits will be available before MainNet

Goals & WinWins; Introducing a non-financial blockchain utility in the form of on-chain email & messaging communication on Metis.

• Empowering users with email & messaging alternatives that are decentralized, modular, self-custodial and not based on the existing predatory model.

• 4P on-chain model (1 email/message = 1 Metis transaction) empowers unparallel Metis transaction volume opportunity.

Why Metis?

• High throughput network
• Ethereum security
• Fast transaction finality
• :Low transaction price
• Thriving community
