Matters Lab and Planetable.xyz enter into strategic partnership

@Matters Lab has been committed to building a truly decentralized social and authoring protocol for users, and we are pleased to announce that we have established a strategic partnership with the Planet team and will integrate services step by step in the future.

Planet is an IPFS-based desktop application that realizes content subscription between users through IPNS and ENS, which is completely decentralized and does not depend on servers. In June 2022, Planet released the first version, proving that this is the way to go. Planet has a clean and focused app, and its engineering team is excellent. Planet has no unconventional new standards, but develops and utilizes the powerful functions of existing common standards such as HTML, RSS, JSON Feed, etc.

In Planet, each article is stored on IPFS in the form of an HTML folder, which allows users to upload and download files in any format. These design ideas are highly consistent with Matters' current storage solution. In Planet and Matters, each article is a separate frontend stored in IPFS.

Matters Lab has been thinking about how to store the user's personal homepage directly in IPFS as a static web page, allowing users to fully customize the homepage. Planet provides an excellent solution that allows users to publish their personal homepages under ENS, and supports custom templates, making it a lightweight Web3 personal website publisher.

In the initial stage, readers will be able to subscribe to the content published by authors through Matters.News in a completely decentralized way through Planet, or they can use other readers to subscribe through the IPFS public network. The creators of Matters.News have a content feed and simple personal page on IPFS, which can be used with ENS.

In the second phase, readers can read, appreciate and comment on any work posted to IPFS on Matters.News , whether through Planet or other channels. Matters.News will be a community and amplifier for curating and discovering great content.

We plan to finally allow users to switch freely between Planet and Matters.News, edit the same personal homepage through different clients, publish to the same group of readers, and achieve true interoperability, which will be what Web3 has promised but not yet. New developments to come.

Through the strategic cooperation with Planet, Matters Lab will further develop social and creative protocols in the field of Web3, providing users with more interoperability, more complete decentralized services and better user experience.

About Matters Lab

Founded in 2018, Matters Lab is committed to building a more free and fair creator ecosystem in the Web3 environment. Among them, it includes the use of decentralized technology tools to complete the confirmation of digital rights, the design of the governance system, and the construction of the creator's economic model.

Matters.News is the first stop of Matters Lab, the largest open source decentralized publishing platform in the Web3 world, with over 100,000 registered writers. The Traveloggers NFT program is the second stop of Matters Lab, with the goal of exploring the creator economic model. Matters Lab also launched a large-scale NFT public canvas @The Space, which is the first project in the Web3 industry to explore public governance with radical market principles.

About Planet

Planet is a free and open source software that can be used to publish and track website content without relying on centralized servers or cloud services. Planet realizes peer-to-peer content distribution based on IPFS. Users can connect websites created with Planet to the Ethereum domain name service ENS (.eth), and others can access and track content updates through the .eth domain name. Thanks to the fact that IPFS and ENS are both decentralized - no key link is in the hands of a single commercial company or individual, users can use such decentralized open source software to create their own websites.
