What can I do with Darkblock?

Darkblock enables NFT creators to attach content that is only available to the owners of the NFT. We do this in a native-web3 way, which means that 3rd party apps can integrate the protocol to create and display content.

How do I do this?

There are two basic ways to create Darkblocks using our web app at
https://app.darkblock.io
⁠
.
Add one or more files to a specific NFT. You can connect your wallet at
app.darkblock.io
⁠
, find an NFT you have created, and files using the upgrade button.
Add one or more files to an NFT collection. Again, go to app.darkblock.io, connect your wallet, select Upgrade → Upgrade a Collection. You can optionally target specific traits or token ranges.

What file types do you support?

Any file type can be attached as a Darkblock and be made available for download. We also support a wide variety of types through our in-browser viewer.
Our Viewer Directly supports these file types: aac, bmp, cbr, epub, flac, gif, glb, html, jpg, m4a, mkv, mp3, mp4*, mpeg, ogg, ogv, opus, pdf, png, svg, tgz, usdz, wav, webm, zip
It’s always best to test your files on some junk NFTs to see what it’s like!
*Your mileage may vary for some video types. Please make sure it is a codec supported by major browsers.

How do users unlock Darkblock content?

You can refer people to our app at
app.darkblock.io
⁠
to connect their wallets, find the NFTs they own with Darkblocks, and unlock their content in the browser. Or, you an
embed our viewer
⁠
into your website. There are also 3rd party apps that incorporate Darkblock content.
