ReadON Partners with Manta to Launch ReadON Private Mode
ReadON is thrilled to announce the introduction of its on-chain privacy initiative in conjunction with Manta Network, the fastest ZK Layer 1 network supporting modular on-chain privacy. As part of this update, the two strategic partners address the significance of user data privacy.
ReadON‘s SBT Profile serves as a data aggregator of a user’s reading history, specifically the interaction between users and content which includes reading, liking, commenting, and more. While on-chain profiles can achieve openness and composability, the use of NFTs as data carriers in many on-chain social protocols has resulted in privacy issues that cannot be solved.
Through a deep partnership with Manta Network, whose ZK-based solutions provide users with a privacy layer and a fully self-controllable asset proof method (ZK Proof), ReadON provides a complete on-chain social privacy solution for users with a “private mode”.
My Information, My Asset
Troy Hua, co-founder of ReadON, said, “User data is an asset, but unlike traditional assets, once it is fully open to the public, the user loses ownership of it. Every on-chain transaction is already public information, and the value behind it no longer belongs to every user who created them.”
ReadON’s privacy protection solution has a more long-term significance in giving users true ownership of this information. For all usage scenarios of such user data, project promotion, data mining, user value analysis, etc., only with ownership and control can users benefit from them, to ensure that their contributed information is not abused.
Kenny Li, co-founder of Manta Network, said, “We’re excited to start empowering users in the ReadON ecosystem with Manta’s zkSBTs, which offer a walletless, on-chain privacy experience that integrates seamlessly.”
Join us in this on-chain privacy era with ReadON and Manta Network, and take control of your data privacy and ownership.
