This looks impressive actually. I'm used to seeing shitcoins and scams, this is honestly a breath of fresh air.

How exactly does the private stuff off the chain interact with the blockchain? Why do you use Ethereum? I really like this project, the private-public hybrid concept is interesting

Thank you! We really appreciate the kind words. We have developed an API that acts as an oracle to our smart contract. We hope that this makes it as easy as possible to use because it just requires a few REST calls. As for why we use Ethereum, we believe it has the potential to be a long lasting platform in the space, but we are keeping our options open and paying close attention to all platforms and how they handle scaling. If you want some more detailed answers about the tech feel free to pm me or ask on our telegram!

So if I want to authenticate a REST API, I basically have to set up shell endpoints that route to your API? If so, that sounds simple enough. Thanks for the clarification

Exactly. Our goal is to make it safe and easy to leverage the blockchain to authenticate APIs. Setting up these shell endpoints also allow you to integrate with other authentication systems like JWT and OAuth.
