Immutably Connect Secure Chips with Onchain Assets

Ethereum Reality Service

Resolve

A decentralized registry that resolves chips to dapps, smart contracts and off-chain websites and services.

Authenticate

Verify chained attestations from chip manufacturers, brands and creators who embed chips into things.

Claim

Leverage chip signatures to claim digital assets like NFTs and PBTs. Enroll in services and dapps and represent crypto ownership IRL.

How ERS works

01 Manufacturer Adds Chips

On creation, a chip's identity is generated, recorded and attested to by the manufacturer – the first party taking responsibility for the chip and certifying its existence.

The manufacturer generates a unique certificate for each chip it enrolls from the chipId – the chip's corresponding Ethereum address.

The chipIds and certificates are bundled into an enrollment merkle tree, the root of which is stored onchain.

02 Developer Embeds Chips

A developer embeds the chips into projects. A developer can be anyone from a large brand enrolling thousands of items to an individual artist creating a handful of physical works with embedded chips.

The developer is entrusted with managing the service that is paired with a chip on behalf of the end user. The developer generates ownership proofs from each chip they wish to embed into a project.

03 Users Claim Chips

An end user typically interacts with the chip through a transport like NFC at which point they resolve any associated content and services.

The user taps the chip and generates a signature which is used via the `transferToken` interface to claim ownership of the chip.

A chip is represented as a PBT in the user’s wallet, and an associated service created by the developer can direct to rich content, similar to an NFT’s tokenUri function.

Who ERS is For

Brands

Embed decentralized authenticity into garments, collectibles and toys that requires no ongoing service fees or app maintenance. Create your own immutable platform without the need for third party APIs.

Creators

Make fully custom digiphysical experiences that don’t rely on centralized authorities. Connect with fans who now can own your art and merch both IRL and virtually. Mint them ongoing NFT and token drops.

Communities

Engage with members by issuing cards that enable event access and can be tied to onchain governance. Secure treasury with low cost, secure element hardware wallets distributed to multisig signers.

End Users

Own your hardware completely by controlling the services and dapps associated with your physical things. Chips in ERS are fully composable so you don’t need access to private APIs to create custom experiences with just a tap.
