Technical Architecture

Detailed overview of the Diamondz Shadow blockchain architecture and implementation.

Layer 3 Implementation

Diamondz Shadow is built as a Layer 3 blockchain with AnyTrust data availability, settling on Arbitrum for enhanced scalability and reduced costs while maintaining security.

Trust Layer

Security and trust infrastructure provided by Hirule Labs, specializing in blockchain security solutions.

Data Availability

AnyTrust data availability layer ensuring efficient data posting with reduced costs and high throughput.

Settlement Layer

Settles on Arbitrum for fast finality and cost-effective transaction processing with EVM compatibility.

Web2 - Web3 Zortal-Oracle

The Zortal-Oracle is a comprehensive social media bridge that chronicles metrics from all major platforms and connects them to on-chain token economics through secure oracle networks.

Supported Platforms

YouTube
Twitch
Spotify
Instagram
X (Twitter)
LinkedIn
Steam
TikTok

Oracle Workflow

  1. Aggregate metrics from all connected social platforms
  2. Process multi-platform data through Chainlink oracle network
  3. Calculate cross-platform engagement scores and bonuses
  4. Execute smart contracts for token minting/burning decisions
  5. Distribute rewards based on total social media contribution

Key Features

  • Multi-platform metric aggregation and normalization
  • Cross-platform engagement bonuses for creators active on multiple channels
  • Real-time social sentiment analysis integration
  • Algorithmic token economics based on total social footprint
  • Configurable weight parameters for different platform types
  • Anti-gaming mechanisms to prevent metric manipulation
  • Privacy-preserving data collection with user consent management

Proof of Contribution

// Proof of Contribution Consensus Algorithm
1. Contribution Metrics Collection
   - Content creation
   - Governance participation
   - Community engagement
   - Technical contributions

2. Contribution Score Calculation
   score = Σ(metric_i * weight_i) for all metrics i

3. Validator Selection
   probability_of_selection ∝ contribution_score

4. Block Production
   - Selected validator produces block
   - Block includes transactions and state transitions
   - Block is submitted to L1 for verification

5. Reward Distribution
   rewards = base_reward * (contribution_score / total_contribution_score)

The Proof of Contribution consensus mechanism rewards users based on their contributions to the ecosystem rather than computational power or token holdings. This ensures that value flows to those who actively participate in and improve the ecosystem.

Advantages

  • Energy efficient compared to Proof of Work
  • More inclusive than pure Proof of Stake
  • Aligns incentives with ecosystem growth
  • Resistant to wealth concentration
  • Encourages active participation

Implementation Challenges

  • Objective measurement of contributions
  • Sybil resistance in contribution tracking
  • Balancing different contribution types
  • Preventing gaming of the system
  • Maintaining decentralization

Smart Contract Architecture

Core Contracts

  • zsLabToken.sol - ERC-20 implementation
  • Governance.sol - Voting and proposal system
  • MovieFactory.sol - Production management
  • RevenueDistributor.sol - Revenue tracking
  • ContributionTracker.sol - PoC implementation
  • NFTMarketplace.sol - NFT minting and trading
  • YouTubeAdapter.sol - YouTube metrics integration
  • ZortalOracle.sol - Web2-Web3 social media metrics integration

Contract Interactions

The contracts interact through a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

  • Governance controls MovieFactory parameters
  • MovieFactory creates Production contracts
  • Production contracts interact with RevenueDistributor
  • ContributionTracker monitors all on-chain activity
  • NFTMarketplace links to Production contracts
  • YouTubeAdapter feeds metrics to RevenueDistributor
  • ZortalOracle feeds multi-platform metrics to RevenueDistributor
