Inspiration

The first message the Internet sent was “L” and “O”. At 10:30 pm, Oct. 29, 1969, Kleinrock, in Los Angeles, A message was sent to Bill Duval at Stanford University. This was a five-letter word: Login. After entering “L”, the system broke down. The instrument showed that the transmission system collapsed. Therefore communication was forced to stop. The world's first communication test through the Internet only transmitted two letters, which were “O”, marking the creation of the rudiment of the Internet based on information transmission.

What it does

The transmission of a string of words opened the door to the Internet, thus beginning the booming development of the Internet. In the Crypto World, we also hope to take information transmission as a starting point and promote a leapfrog development of applications in the blockchain ecosystem. Therefore, we established a decentralized version of NFT mail application called “Dmail”.

Based on features of Web3.0 and IC, with mail application as the entrance, Dmail lowers the threshold for users and developers to participate in the Crypto World by enabling smooth transmission of information between traditional mail and blockchain mail, users hereby can use blockchain as if they use the Internet. We hope that Dmail serves as a basic portal to the blockchain world and a gateway to the real world in the future.

Meanwhile, Dmail will also be the first mailbox that is 100% developed by Web 3 technologyy. Dmail will be an entrance to the blockchain universe and a gateway for Web 2.0 users to experience convenient blockchain services. In the future, Dmail is expected to become a decentralized identity to Web 3.0 and a linkage between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 users, as Dmail is committed to work on allowing 4 billion email accounts around the world to possess a Dmail address.

How we built it

To solve problems of interaction, communication and information sharing between on-chain and off-chain users, we developed a distributed application called Dmail.

Dmail is the first mail application based on Web3.0 that integrates NFT and distributed storage functions, and is dedicated to building a bridge between the traditional world and the parallel world. Compared with traditional mail, Dmail gives rights of control back to users. Users can manage and access data with their private keys, and can also determine the future trend of the product through community Governance. Dmail is committed to providing users with a permanent service without a centralized server, and meanwhile ensuringe the ownership and privacy of data.

Dmail is the foundation of communication, information sharing and collaboration of on-chain and off-chain users in the future. Specifically, it will serve as the basic communication and cooperation tool of the blockchain world, and the gateway for information exchange between the blockchain world and the real world. As an information interaction gateway in the new era, it will help users connect the whole blockchain world and the real world, and help users, developers, institutions and assets to build reliable interactive connection and build an information storage space that will never be lost in the blockchain world. In this way, we believe that it can better serve the blockchain world and the real world, and enables everyone an access to an equal access to different worlds.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Oct 18, 2021, Demo Test Launched. Oct 31, 2021, IC Hackathon Winner. Nov. 30, 2021, Seed funding closed. Dec. 4, 2021, NFT account pre-sale. Feb. 1, 2022, Brand upgrade. Feb. 8, 2022, Strategic funding closed. Feb. 11, 2022, $25,000 grant from IC foundation($5,000 before). Mar 21, 2022, Presale holders break 11,000+. Apr 2, 2022, Selected to IC Bootcamp. May 18, 2022, 3D Crystal NFTs Launched. June 1, 2022, Beta Network Launched. And now Dmail has support more multi-chain logins and use Filecoin as storage.

What we learned

Dmail is one year old, and in the process, our team has expanded from 3 to over 20 people, including people in technology, product, operations, marketing, design, and finance, which is great to give back, and of course we have dozens of Mods and Ambassadors around the world.Then Dmail got 2 rounds of funding, 30,000+ Twitter and Discord users, which is the result of the team's efforts and our honor. Thank you to everyone who supported DMAIL.

What's next for Dmail Network

Dmail has just launched on the beta network, which is a great start. Next, the team will focus on product feature iteration and performance optimization, and then work towards multi-login, access to Web 2.0 mailboxes, plug-in wallets, protocol layers, collaboration tools and decentralized identity.
