A new Ethereum-based service called Ethscriptions is making waves in the cryptocurrency and blockchain community. The platform provides a unique method for creating and sharing digital artifacts on Ethereum, leveraging the transaction calldata.
Ethscriptions work by allowing users to create a unique data URI that is then stored on the Ethereum blockchain. This data URI can be anything from an image to a video to a piece of text. Once an Ethscription is created, it can be shared with anyone on the Ethereum network.
The Ethscriptions platform is still in its early stages, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way digital artifacts are created and shared. The platform is already being used by a number of projects, including the Ethereum Punks collection.
How does it work?
Ethscriptions work through a unique mechanism. Any successful Ethereum transaction, where the input data (interpreted as UTF-8) is a valid data URI, creates an Ethscription. The catch? The data URI has to be unique. Duplicate content gets ignored, and all valid mimetypes are supported.
Moreover, the uniqueness of the URI is confirmed by ensuring no Ethscription from a previous block or a transaction earlier in the same block shares the same content. This ensures the integrity and distinctiveness of each Ethscription.
In terms of ownership, the recipient of the creation transaction becomes the initial owner of the Ethscription, while the sender is marked as its creator. In a scenario where the input data of an Ethereum transaction is the transaction hash of a valid Ethscription, it becomes a valid Ethscription transfer, given the transaction sender is the Ethscription’s owner.
Who is behind Ethscriptions?
Ethscriptions was created by Middlemarch, one of the founding partners of NFT infrastructure enterprise Capsule 21. The project’s developers, @0xHirsch and @duvtale, were credited in the announcement.
Where can I learn more?
The Ethscriptions website has a lot of useful information, including a detailed explanation of how the platform works. You can also find the source code on GitHub.
Conclusion
Ethscriptions is a new and innovative platform that has the potential to revolutionize the way digital artifacts are created and shared. The platform is still in its early stages, but it is already being used by a number of projects. I am excited to see how Ethscriptions develops in the future.
