Connection

The CyberConnect Protocol allows users to form social connections that are recorded and verified on blockchain networks. The protocol supports different types of connections for different purposes:

Follow

Like

Report

Watch

Vote

note

Report means one user flagging another user. Watch means one user observing another user, but not necessarily forming a Follow - type connection.

Developers can incorporate various connection modules to diversify the user experience by using the CyberConnect JS SDK.

How does it work?

Let's take "follow" as an example. A user clicking the "follow" button in an application invokes the "connect" function in the CyberConnect JavaScript library. If this is their first connection in the current session, they need to manually sign the message. The CyberConnect library then generates and stores a derived key to authorize writing connection data onto IPFS and Arweave storage.
