Dialect:智能信息传递标准

今天,我很高兴地宣布,我们与Jump加密公司共同领导Dialect 410万美元的种子轮融资,参与投资者还包括Solana Ventures、Tiger Global、Joe McCann和其他一些著名天使投资人。

Dialect是一种智能信息传递协议,可以实现无缝、链上信息传递体验,最初应用于钱包间聊天和dapp通知。除了核心协议外,Dialect还开发了区块链监测工具包Web组件库,用于通知和聊天,这简化了项目首次直接将可组合的链上信息丢入应用程序的过程。

长期以来,我们一直认为,地址对地址通信将是关键的Web3原语。直接通信或地址间通信的能力扩展了区块链的用途,超越了简单的资产转移,也打开了令人兴奋的新设计空间。直到最近,一直存在速度、成本和可组合性等限制因素。

对于DeFi用户或链上游戏玩家来说,并不是所有人都希望通过电子邮件或手机号码来接收通知,所以有了链上通信机制。链上信息还可以带来正向经济外部性,这在具备这种通信能力之前是不可能的。

我们是在里斯本的Solana Breakpoint会议上第一次见到Dialect的创始人Chris Osborn。 他是一位连续创业者,也是Y Combinator的校友。过去几个月来,我们密切合作,认真思考信息传递的设计空间。

Dialect是一种智能信息传递标准。它之所以“智能”,是因为它既可组合又可交互。可组合通知是Dialect最快的实现方式,使协议和dapps能够与用户通信。这听起来可能很简单,但这个UX在绝大多数加密产品中都未能实现——尽管在Web2中这一功能极具价值。例如,通过集成Dialect监控工具包,DeFi协议或DEX可以直接向用户发送有关利率变化、抵押品充值请求、清算警报或到期提醒的通知。尤其是涉及金钱的时候,这些通知至关重要。此外,因为Dialect通知可以组合,所以可以在dapp的UX中实现类似集中式交易所通知中心那样的原生交付,或者直接交付给位于任何地方的用户,无论是另一个DEX、移动应用程序、电子邮件或SMS,还是以上所有方式。此外,由于是交互式的,开发人员还可以通过Dialect的SDK用动态、可操作的功能或信息预览来装饰消息,例如查看地址,了解资产或签署涉及两个或更多协议的交易的能力。所有这些都可以通过Dialect实现,无需离开通知中心或聊天对话。

Dialect还可以拓展到通知之外的其他领域。任何人也可以使用Dialect进行钱包间聊天。我们预计,专门的聊天和信息传递应用程序将由此产生。现在已经可以构建自己的对话DEX、聊天应用程序,甚至全功能的Web3收件箱。在与加密项目直接相关的领域有着广泛的设计空间:

  • 假名直接信息推送——根据提供有偿任务或查询个人的过去活动或凭证去ping一个地址。因为有助于找到合适的人,并能更好地完成工作,提供机会的一方愿意为信息付费;如果他/她想要持续接收这些付费任务,他/她也可能愿意间接为这些消息付费。这种链上信息提供了全新的劳动者与工作之间的匹配价值。
  • 可验证消息—与钱包关联的消息可以在链上验证,这意味着用户第一次可以确认他们收到消息的来源和真实性。
  • 有条件的跨dapp动作—X协议监控某些参数的变化,如果B事件发生则通知用户做A事件(例如将资金从X协议移动到Y协议),操作行为可以作为按钮附加到通知UI的消息中。
  • 营销活动监控--当一款游戏或产品想要在一段时间内测试一项新功能时,可能会有一些关于谁有资格进行测试的标准。该游戏可以监控链上的活动或使用Dialect的地址凭证,并在地址符合条件时实现独家试用访问。
  • 赏金猎人—通过类似于Earn.com的劳动力市场(如社区游戏),寻找工作的用户可以注册付费任务,并在其通知用户界面中接收可操作的消息或线索挖掘链接。
  • Twitter Bots——Dialect区块链监控工具包也可用于监控条件事件协议,并定制接收通知的时间、地点和方式。一个完美的例子是由Dialect开发的Saber Wars机器人
  • DAO管理—由于管理工具(如Squads)都集成了Dialect,DAO可以向其子DAO广播操作通知。例如,DeFi协议可以向其核心贡献者的子DAO广播快照投票链接,并单独向一般主体广播staking链接。
  • 链上OTC平台——当对冲基金希望在链上做空连锁长尾资产时,通常无法获得流动性。如果可以在一个门户网站注册,获取链上OTC买盘和卖盘,他们就可以从这个门户网站获得通知,比如如何从那些Telegram OTC渠道接收OTC消息。
  • 一键式游戏内资产融资--如今,游戏内资产的租借和租赁流程通常是手动操作的。通过集成到NFT租赁协议/单贷款池,或者直接集成达到提供这些功能的公会管理系统,公会可以轻松管理借给/租给玩家的资产。公会管理工具还可以将到期通知与延期操作或智能合同强制撤销相结合。
  • 社交交易——当聊天室将Dialect与NFT市场和代币交换配置在一起,并允许参与者通过消息中的链接在聊天中进行原生购买时,”模仿”体验会更加顺畅。这种需求很自然,因为当人们在聊天中间谈到资产时,往往希望购买资产。

曾有过加密本地聊天和通知服务的多次尝试,但是所有这些尝试都没有抓住机会:1)将(可验证的)消息放在链上,2)让这些消息可以跨dapps和其他端点进行原生组合。对于这些项目,通知就是产品。对于Dialect来说,通知是将智能信息编织到加密结构的手段。

在创建Dialect之前,Chris取得原子物理学博士学位,在量子计算公司担任技术领导者,并为定制消费品指数创建过一家公司。Chris在高科技和消费品方面的背景使他成为为开发人员构建智能信息传递工具套件的完美候选人。Dialect团队正在招聘 -- 如果您有意向,请立即联系我们
