Intro

Welcome to the Xeal Protocol Documentation.

Xeal is a solution that bridges the gap between digital and physical through the use of AI invisible watermarks and blockchain technology. Whether you are a builder, brand owner, artist, or a degen, this documentation will help you navigate the various features and capabilities of Xeal protocol.


What is Xeal?

Xeal is a Real World Asset (RWA) bridging solution that combines the power of AI, blockchain and steganography to enhance the authenticity and security of digital and physical assets by embedding AI invisible watermarks into media files.

That was an unnecessary explanation for a degen like you perhaps, so it's best for you to see how it works by trying it out yourself. Here are the steps:

First, download Xeal app on the appstore, by searching "Xeal". Here are the links if you're already on mobile:

Second, try opening the app and scanning this photo.

Nothing should happen, as expected. Why? Because it's just a JPEG.

Third, try scanning this one instead:

Wait, something pops up! That's right. We put an AI invisible watermark inside the NFT so that it can be verifiable on-chain just by scanning through our app. You can download the image or take a screenshot and the NFT will still be scannable. Now do you see why we keep telling everyone to stop owning JPEGs? This is what the next generation NFT looks like, and we call it xNFT.

That's a cool tech, but why does it matter? Wen moon?

We built this because we were sick of this joke. No, we don't want people claiming that NFTs are useless just because people can copy & paste JPEGs. Instead, we want the good old days back when creators were excited about the true ownership and decentralization of art.

The origin of this joke actually goes back to the NFT's one-way connection: while smart contracts point to JPEGs, the JPEGs themselves lack a link back to their smart contracts. This creates an incomplete representation of digital asset ownership. Xeal makes asset point back to its smart contract, creating a complete two-way verification system of an NFT.

The creator and the owner of any media asset, whether it be a video, a song, or an image, will be verifiable wherever it goes. People won't be able to joke around that they now own the NFT after screenshotting it, as the hidden code will follow. Even if you manage to draw the exact same image without the hidden code, it's not real anymore if people can't verify it!

Scanning is cool. So what can we do in Xeal?

xNFTs combine aspects of meme coins and NFTs to enhance watermarked digital assets. The xToken represents an entire NFT collection and serves as the exclusive trading currency within that collection. This system ensures creator royalties and supports token burn mechanisms, potentially increasing the xToken's value as the collection grows in popularity.

We offer creator focused creation, but we also offer decentralized NFT collection creation, allowing anyone to contribute art with a set mint price (above a creator-defined minimum). A portion of this price is burned, while the remainder goes to the artist.

The ecosystem benefits from "creative energy" through custom burn rates on minting. Each NFT requires xTokens for purchase and minting, with additional tokens burned during the process. Creators receive royalties on future trades, justifying the initial burn and supporting the collection's economy.

This approach aims to balance creator incentives, community participation, and economic sustainability within the xNFT ecosystem. As NFTs are traded, loyalty fees go to the original creator, while the token burn mechanism benefits the overall collection economy.

People won't be able to joke around that they now own the NFT after screenshotting it, as the hidden code will follow. Even if you manage to draw the exact same image without the hidden code, it's not real anymore if people can't verify it! As a proof, we posted the same watermarked NFT in and so that you can be convinced to join the cult after seeing what we claim holds true.
