The Road to Decentralization
Decentralization is a tricky concept. What does it mean to be decentralized exactly? You may get ten different answers if you ask ten different people. Here is ours: Decentralization is about control.
Use Case Series: COMICS!
That’s right, friends, Calvin and Hobbs are coming to NFTs. Up until this point, the open nature of NFT IP has kept artistic mediums like ebooks and comics from entering the NFT arena. Darkblock is changing that. Our protocol offers the added protection layer that pay-per-view artforms like comics need. Without encryption, comics can easily be copied and redistributed. Luckily, with our protocol, comics can finally monetize their art as NFTs.

Partner Marketplace Integration
ATTN Marketplaces: Integrating Darkblock has never been easier! If you haven’t already heard of Darkblock, we are a decentralized NFT unlockables protocol. Our mission is to give creators and collectors more control and new ways to monetize their NFTs.
Darkblock is now Multi-Chain!
You asked and we answered! We are excited to announce our Solana blockchain integration! This integration was the natural next step for Darkblock, as four of the current “Top 25 NFT Marketplaces” are located on Solana (Solsea, Magic Eden, Solanart, and Digital Eyes). It is undeniable that Solana has taken off in the NFT space since September of last year.
The Darkblock Viewer: Coming to a Marketplace Near You
At Darkblock, we are creating a decentralized protocol that encrypts, stores, and protects content associated with an NFT that is only revealed to the owner. We understand that in order to make this technology available to the masses, it must be easily accessible. Enter the Darkblock Viewer.
The Darkblock API
Darkblock is a decentralized protocol that enables digital creators to upgrade their NFTs with special content only accessible by the NFT owner. Darkblock gives creators more control over their content to enable new business models leveraging the power of NFTs. Darkblock is an open protocol for creators to leverage without permission. Darkblocks can be created and deployed to Arweave’s permanent data store directly, and then accessed via our TV App, our forthcoming web-delivery widget, or by interacting with the protocol to display content directly into any application.
Announcing the release of Darkblock’s apps and pre-seed round
Darkblock has launched a web and tv-app to enable creators to upgrade existing NFTs to include an exclusive piece of content reserved for the NFT owner. The decentralized protocol layer works by attaching an encrypted asset to an existing NFT. The NFT displayed on a marketplace acts as a “preview” to the underlying asset (jpg, mp4, gif, etc.) protected in a Darkblock. Only the true owner of the NFT (or owners, if fractionalized), is able to decrypt and view the original NFT.
How-To: Display Your Darkblock
Have you ever wanted to see your NFT? Sick of ‘casting’ and want a native app? Download our Darkblock TV-app. Available now on the Amazon app store and Google Play store, our TV-app allows users to utilize their existing smart TV to exhibit their digital assets.
