⚙️How Scisets Ra Works

WEB3.0 Account

Unlike the traditional method, where you have a single account, you create individual accounts for each platform you use, such as Twitter, YouTube, and GitHub. If you want to change your display name or profile picture, you must update them separately on each platform, even when dealing with their content rules. As more platforms adopt federated ldentities through powerful players, they can effectively control your entire online presence. What's worse, many platforms also require you to share personal information to create an account, adding a layer of trust in them.

WEB3.0 account is made up of a cryptographic pair of keys: public and private key. When you want to create an account, most of libraries will generate a random private key that is made up of 64 HEX characters and can be encrypted with a password.

Example:

fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffebaaedce6af48a03bbfd25e8cd036415f

The public key is generated from the private key using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. You get a public address for your account by taking the last 20 bytes of the Keccak-256 hash of the public key and adding 0x to the beginning.

> new account --keystore <path>

Please enter a password for the new account to be created:

Account Creation Service

Scisets Ra introduces Metamask and Torus to help you create your own WEB3.0 account or generate your WEB3.0 account from your WEB2.0 social accounts.

Web3Auth Key Infrastructure

In this manner, the public key is applied within the blockchain system to enable users to verify their role as the originators of actions recorded on the blockchain ledger.

Smart Contract

A "smart contract" functions as a program operating on the blockchain. It comprises both code (functions) and data (state) located at a specific blockchain address. Smart contracts represent a category of web3.0 accounts, holding balances and being interaction targets. However, they differ from user-controlled accounts. Instead of user control, smart contracts are deployed on the network and execute as programmed. User accounts can then interact with smart contracts by initiating records that trigger predefined functions within the contract. Similar to conventional contracts, smart contracts can establish rules enforced through their code. These contracts are not inherently deletable, and interactions with them are irrevocable by default.

In this BETA release, Scisets Ra has implemented a smart contract on both Ethereum Sepolia Blockchain and Polygon Mumbai Blockchain. This smart contract is designed to mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for individual research assets and manuscripts. These NFTs are then allocated among a predetermined group of authors, funders, and institutions.

The paper's information is stored as metadata within the network. For additional information, refer to Data Structure section.

Non-fungible token (NFT)

NFTs are tokens distinguished by their individual uniqueness. Each NFT possesses distinct attributes that make it non-fungible and verifiably scarce. This stands in contrast to tokens like ERC-20s, where every token within a set is uniform and shares identical properties (fungible). Unlike identical and equal-value dollar bills in your wallet, specific NFTs hold significance due to their unique qualities, setting them apart from others (non-fungible).

Scisets Ra utilizes NFTs for automatic paper licensing and copyright generation from DAY 1, ensuring the transferability and transformative nature of your research lifecycle owned by your funders, publishers, and institutions.
