unlock VS baseline

Unlock is a great decentralized tool that doesn't require members to be familiar with web3 to get started.

This is exactly how something like Unlock Protocol works.

I'll name you several.

Copied from another reply I made, here's some projects to check out:

- Lens Protocol [https://lens.xyz/ (one example implementation: https://lenster.xyz/)] is an early social network built on top of Polygon.

- Farcaster [https://farcaster.xyz/] is another one, that takes a more hybrid approach of using Ethereum for trustless identity, but stores social stuff in a "sufficiently decentralized" way.

- ENS [https://ens.domains/] is a universal username system.

- Unlock Protocol [https://unlock-protocol.com/] uses NFTs for tradeable subscriptions, event tickets, etc.

- Radicle [https://radicle.xyz/] is a decentralized Github basically, that (optionally) uses Ethereum to store the Git HEAD of a "project" essentially.

- Arweave [https://www.arweave.org/] stores files permanently using a cool "endowment" mechanism. Currently, the network has secured its storage for like 1000 years in theory.

If you haven't seen it, you were not interested in looking and I doubt that any "evangelist" is going to change your mind.

Anyway, if you are honestly open to change your mind, go take a look at ENS domains [0] and unlock protocol [1]. Both of these are applications that use NFTs "properly", and allow us to do things that are currently possible only with a central authority.

[0]: https://ens.domains

[1]: https://unlock-protocol.com

If you want to go with the crypto route, that's the main goal of Unlock Protocol. It's basically one of the first use cases (beyond ENS domains) where NFTs actually make sense.

Look at Unlock Protocol (https://unlock-protocol.com/) and Lit (https://litprotocol.com/) for token gated content

All their code is public, https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock, you just need to follow the MIT license https://github.com/unlock-protocol/unlock/blob/master/LICENSE

Ethereum is by far the most widely adopted blockchain by enterprises. Ethereum’s Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) is the largest blockchain-enterprise partnership program and Ethereum is by far the most frequently leveraged blockchain for proof of concepts and innovation in the blockchain space by enterprises. Meanwhile, there are protocols like the Baseline protocol which is a shared framework which allows enterprises to use Ethereum as a common frame of reference and a base settlement layer without having to give up privacy when settling on the public Ethereum mainnet. This framework makes adopting Ethereum much easier for other enterprises. Another example is EY’s “Nightfall”, a Zero Knowledge optimistic rollup which provides full privacy and cheaper transactions for enterprise use.

Have a look at decentralised finance (DeFi), have a look at at https://docs.baseline-protocol.org/ , Read about NFTs a little more, read about what a DAO is and think about why crypto may be interesting because of that.

The Baseline Protocol is a new standard that is going to be adopted by enterprises globally. It is a standard created by folks from Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and led by a team of professionals from several institutions like EY, Microsoft, Consensys, Unibright, SAP, and so on, in different capacities. The protocol is meant to synchronize data between 2 entities while keeping data private + secure. https://docs.baseline-protocol.org/

The Baseline protocol by EY, Microsoft, etc was created specifically for this purpose. It allows SAP and other software to sync up across organizations without using proprietary code and also allows for verified business logic to run that everyone on the system can trust. Coca-Cola is using it to get a real time view of their supply chains, Microsoft is using it for their Xbox licenses, lots of federated industries are using it as a common frame of reference for prices, purchase orders, and other data that multiple organizations share and need to all rely on.

May I introduce you to the baseline protocol: https://docs.baseline-protocol.org/

I don't know the Baseline project, the repo looks active, but the last release (0.1.0) is from 1 year https://github.com/eea-oasis/baseline Mostly developed by 2-3 dev and 1 this year

Maybe this is just my very biased view (okay, you are also asking this in a Ethereum subreddit), but the discussion which blockchain is suitable for which use-case slowly gets replaced by the question, which scaling solution and which off-chain design patterns are the most suitable for your application. And the blockchain will be Ethereum, an enterprise variant of it (see Quorum) or at least compatible with it (see Baseline Protocol). So for me the comparison of different blockchain types, their throughput, etc. is not very interesting as it is generally very hard to objectively compare those different approaches and I'm sure that many blockchains were built with very different use-cases in mind (see IOTA or VeChain).
