Future Messages
MEMRY’s Web 3.0 application allows users to leave messages for friends and family to be delivered at future dates, including after the user’s death. This combines the immutability and security of blockchain technology with the emotional and personal aspect of leaving lasting memories for loved ones, ensuring that precious messages are delivered securely and at the intended time, even if the sender has passed away and potentially for decades into the future.
This enables individuals, such as a grandmother, to prepare video or other digital content for future life events, like birthdays, weddings, or graduations.
Here’s an outline of how such a system could be designed and operate:
The core of this service rests on smart contracts on a blockchain platform which supports smart contracts. This ensures the integrity and execution of the delivery conditions. Smart contracts are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code such as a specific date or an event trigger (e.g., confirmation of an event like a wedding or graduation). They run on the blockchain, which ensures that the contract is immutable and distributed, making it resistant to censorship and providing a high level of security.
MEMRY’s friendly UI allows users to upload their messages, select recipients, and set future delivery dates or conditions for each message. It supports various types of content, such as video, audio, text and images.
Decentralized Storage:
For storing large files like videos or images, the application integrates with decentralized storage solutions (IPFS, Filecoin, or Arweave) to ensure content is securely stored and persists over time.
For each message, a smart contract is created with the details of the delivery conditions and the unique hash of the content.
The smart contract includes logic to verify if the conditions have been met (e.g., reaching a certain date) and then triggers the message delivery.
Messages are encrypted to protect privacy, ensuring only the intended recipient can decrypt and view the message. This could involve public key encryption where the recipient’s public key is used.
Upon the conditions being met, the smart contract automatically executes the delivery instructions, allowing the recipient to access and decrypt the message. MEMRY’s application on the recipient’s side would then fetch the content from the decentralized storage using the hash, decrypt it, and present it to the recipient.
