SyncNotify: On-Chain Notifications

The SyncAI Network provides a delivery layer for decentralized push notifications directly to wallet addresses. This feature enables Web3 projects, dApps, smart contracts, or any Web3 services to send real-time notifications to their users through an open, interoperable, and secure network. It boosts and monetizes engagement and retention via personalized notifications.

Push Notifications

Architecture Overview

Step	Component	Description
1	Create Channel	A channel is created on the SyncAI Network and registered as a service on SyncID.
2	Activate Channel	The channel is activated to define the types of notifications and the data schema.
3	Compose Notification	A notification is composed, including the recipient’s wallet address, content, and metadata.
4	Sign Notification	The notification is signed using the sender’s private key to ensure integrity and authenticity.
5	Validate Notification	Nodes validate the signature and structure of the notification.
6	Deliver Notification	Notifications are sent off-chain to the user’s wallet address via the SyncID service layer.
7	On-Chain Notification	For smart contract-triggered events, the notification is delivered on-chain, incurring minimal gas fees.
8	Receive Notification	Users receive notifications in real-time, directly in their wallet interface or application.

Note: Since SyncAI network supports notifications, every chat message includes a notification. Even when a chat message is sent to an address, the recipient receives a notification along with the message, provided they have accepted the chat request.

Spam Prevention

The network prioritizes spam prevention by adopting a user-centric approach:

Flags	Description
Whitelisted	Users receive notifications only from protocols they subscribe to.
