We all want to represent ourselves with colorful profile pictures, cheesy usernames and NFTs are a great option to do so on a decentralised world. Once we have linked our NFT PFP, any dapp can query this information and display it on the logged in users’ profile. We will be creating a Soulbound Token (SBT) to manage this and will be able to work on any EVM compatible address.

Why SBT?

Once created, it is personal/fixed for an address so we don’t want to transfer this token to anyone else. Soulbound token doesn’t have transfer method and is permanent to an address. There will be only one token per address.

What all data can be stored?

Planning to support the following

1. Username
2. Profile picture
3. Profile description ( max: 140 chars)

Which blockchain will it be deployed?

I are planning to deploy it to all popular EVM compatible chains. User should be able to pick the chain where the data is maintained. For eg: If you are maintaining the info in Polygon. You will have to go to Polygon to update information. But your profile information can still used on dapps which are running on other chains, so the same information can be displayed on an Ethereum dapp. (This might require using a 3rd party service which can query information irrespective of connected chain)

Isn’t it same as ens without the fees?

To be honest, yes. It is more or less does the same thing as ens without the fees and renewals. I am not sure why something like username or profile picture needs to be a thing which can be traded and required us to pay a renewal fee. Isn’t blockchain something which is open to all and something which doesn’t require a corporation to manage our data or to pay a service cost to use. We are paying fees as gas to the validators/chain when we do some transaction.

When will it be available?

I have started working on it. Will be published soon.
