Curators make choices that reflect their preferences, expertise, or purpose, allowing them to filter and highlight content for others. This concept can be applied both on-chain (blockchain) and off-chain (traditional systems), with a broad range of uses depending on the context.\n\nOn-chain uses:\n\nNFT Curation: Compiling NFTs into a list of artworks suitable for digital galleries or exhibitions.\n\nDAO or Community Identification: Identifying wallets or Universal Profiles linked to specific decentralized communities, such as DAOs, influencers, or ecosystem contributors.\n\nDeFi Applications: Assembling lists of audited and trusted DeFi smart contracts for easier access by others.\n\nReputation & Trust Scores: Curating profiles or entities based on their social standing, achievements, or trustworthiness within decentralized applications.\n\nThese curated lists are transparent, immutable, and reusable, enabling anyone on the blockchain to verify their provenance and integrate them into other smart contracts or protocols. This flexibility offers the potential for a rich, decentralized digital ecosystem where personal preferences and peer-driven networks shape the experience.\n\nOff-chain uses:\n\nContent Recommendations: Curating articles, videos, or other digital media in niche categories that cater to specific communities or topics.\n\nCommunity Curation: Similar to early internet forums, where moderators or groups would create topic-based lists of websites, blogs, or digital resources.\n\nReal-world Product Collections: Compiling lists of products or businesses that align with a certain ethos, such as eco-friendly companies or local artisanal shops.\n\nThe LUKSO Standard Proposal 8 Identifiable Digital Asset lends itself quite nicely to serving as the foundation for the Hashlists Curation Protocol. LSP8 was designed for creating unique, non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It allows for precise control over individual assets, making it an ideal choice for implementing curated lists, as each entity on the list is represented by its unique token ID, which can itself be mapped to a unique blockchain address. The properties Curated Hashlists inherit from LSP8 are:\n\nUniqueness of Assets: Every entry in a curated list is unique. LSP8 provides a way to tokenize and manage these unique assets, representing anything from NFTs to smart contracts to digital profiles.\n\nTrackable Provenance: By using LSP8, curators can ensure that their lists are verifiable and tamper-proof. Each curated list\u2019s origin, changes, and endorsements are transparent, traceable on the blockchain, and publicly verifiable.\n\nInteroperability: LSP8 assets can interact seamlessly with other LUKSO standards, such as LSP3 (profile metadata) and LSP9 (vaults), expanding the range of possible interactions within the ecosystem. For instance, curated lists could be integrated into other decentralized applications (dApps), social platforms, or even serve as modules in larger protocols.\n\nCensorship Resistance: Unlike centralized platforms where curated content can be manipulated or restricted, on-chain curated lists using LSP8 cannot be censored. This ensures that lists remain true to the curator's intent without interference.\n\nDecentralized Ownership and Control: Curated lists created via LSP8 allow full ownership and control by the individual curator. The list itself becomes a tokenized asset that can be transferred, sold, or shared, giving curators autonomy and direct rewards for their efforts.\n\n", "hidden": false, "question": "How does your project leverage LUKSO's smart contract standards (LSPs) and Universal Profiles (UPs)?

During the hackathon, we realized that blockchain users often face a barrage of unwanted tokens with no effective way to opt-out or filter these transactions. The GRAVE project, designed to tackle this issue, provided the inspiration for hashlists as a solution for onchain curation, allowing users to control and manage unwanted assets more effectively. We are active on X, X spaces, and on podcasts, and will continue advocating for the adoption of LSPs whenever and wherever possible.

Unfortunately, those in control are entities and corporations misaligned with what's best for us as individuals and humanity as a whole, but we accept our situation, feeling powerless to change it. But what if we could take back control and redesign the \"attention economy\" to serve us, rather than deliver us to be served? #notYourAlgoNotYourFeed\n\nThe solution lies in the blockchain -- a system that is permissionless, transparent, censorship-resistant, reusable, and configurable to match our personal goals and desires. LUKSO Standard Proposals (LSPs) are at the forefront of this transformation, laying the foundation for a universal social network. A key element of this vision is the Hashlists Curation Protocol, built using LSP8 Identifiable Digital Assets, which empowers users to curate their own digital experience.\n\nWith Hashlists Curated Lists, anyone can curate entities on the blockchain, shifting power away from algorithms and returning it to individuals. This approach takes us back to the early days of the internet, when people connected through raw, unfiltered interactions, discovering new worlds and ideas through chance encounters and \"stumble upons,\" and not algorithmic gatekeepers. By fostering a peer-driven curatorial model, we can dismantle the groupthink and polarization propagated by centralized, algorithm-driven feeds.\n\nHashlists v1 offers endless possibilities. You could curate a list of NFT projects fit for a gallery, compile DeFi smart contracts that have passed audits, identify wallets or Universal Profiles associated with specific communities or DAOs, or even curate high-quality digital assets for wallet display. These curated \"hashlists,\" named for the cryptographic hash functions that generate blockchain addresses, will exist entirely on-chain. This ensures that their provenance is verifiable, and other blockchain protocols can integrate and build upon them.\n\nBy embracing the Hashlists Curation Protocol, users and developers alike can play a vital role in reshaping the digital landscape. Together, we can move beyond centralized control and create a decentralized, pluralistic, user-driven ecosystem where authenticity and individual preferences thrive. Now is the time to reclaim our feeds and help build a future where technology serves humanity, not the other way around.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "yearone-io", "projectTwitter": "yearoneio"}, "recipient": "0xec1c59E78De6f840A66b6EE8E4066700Be863529"}}
