Scytalelabs Develops Uniswap Exchange Alternative for CapserLabs Blockchain

Many cryptocurrency holders need more choices to exchange their holdings for other cryptocurrencies.
Currently, their exchange option is through the ‘Uniswap’ exchange.
However, if a user’s cryptocurrencies are on a specific blockchain and that blockchain is not supported by Uniswap exchange, then that user cannot exchange his holdings into another cryptocurrency.
Scytalelabs, a leading blockchain development company, was approached by a customer to create an alternative to Uniswap for their CapserLabs blockchain.

Problem

  • The main challenge for Scytalelabs was to create a decentralized exchange (DEX) that could provide the same functionality as Uniswap exchange while running on the CapserLabs blockchain.
  •  This involved developing smart contracts in RUST, a relatively new language, and ensuring they were secure and efficient. In addition, the team had to create contract indexing services that would allow users to access and interact with the contracts on the blockchain quickly.
  •  They also had to design and develop a user-friendly front-end UI/UX to make it easy for users to trade assets on the exchange, thus enabling rapid adoption.
  •  CapserLabs is a next-generation blockchain platform that provides a scalable and secure infrastructure for decentralized applications.

Solution

  • To overcome these challenges, Scytalelabs assembled a team of experienced blockchain developers who were familiar with RUST and had a deep understanding of smart contract development.
  • The team used best practices and industry standards to ensure the security and efficiency of the smart contracts. The contracts have passed two independent code audits to ensure quality and security.
  • The team developed the backend services in Node.js and used Kafka for message streams and Redis for caching. They also created contract indexing services that allowed users to easily search for and interact with the contracts on the blockchain
  • To create the front-end UI/UX, Scytalelabs worked closely with the customer to understand their requirements and user needs. They designed and developed a user-friendly interface using React.
  • The team used AWS for deployment and Git for version management.

Outcome

  • Scytalelabs successfully developed an alternative to Uniswap for the CapserLabs blockchain. The exchange provides the same functionality as Uniswap, including swapping tokens, providing liquidity, and earning fees.
  • The contracts are secure and efficient and have passed two independent code audits to ensure their quality and security. The contract indexing services make it easy for users to interact with the contracts on the blockchain, and the front-end UI/UX is user-friendly and has received positive feedback from users.

Blockchain-Based Sustainable Apparel Supply Chain Solution

Problem

  • The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. As consumers become increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their choices, there is growing pressure on apparel businesses to operate sustainably.
  • In response, we developed a blockchain-based solution that enabled our client, a leading apparel brand, to track carbon emissions and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) throughout the supply chain.
  • The solution provided transparency and traceability, allowing our clients to take concrete steps toward meeting their sustainability goals and making their businesses more sustainable.

Solution

  • Our solution tracked carbon emissions from the cradle to the grave and allowed for the tracking of products and raw materials throughout the supply chain. We also added carbon and UNSDG scoring to raw materials as they moved through the supply chain. The system also complied with data privacy laws, including GDPR. Here’s how we implemented and executed the solution:
  • Technical White Paper: We wrote a comprehensive technical white paper outlining the vision, which served as the foundation for the solution.
    Data Gathering for UNSDG: We developed surveys and forms for data gathering for UNSDG.
  • Mobile App for Data Gathering: We built a mobile app to gather data and track UNSDG and carbon emissions at the farm level. We customized the app to address organizational and operational hierarchies in African countries and solved low-fi mobile device access and intermittent internet connectivity.
  • Hardware Technology Provider: We worked with a hardware technology provider to customize hardware for the blockchain interface.
  • Access Control and Approval Mechanisms: We implemented access control and approval mechanisms for all farmland stakeholders.
  • Liaison between Development and Innovation Teams: We acted as a liaison between development and innovation teams for successful project execution.
    Consumer-Facing App: We helped brands develop labels that could be placed on clothes, not in the app. Consumers could scan the QR code attached to each product label if they needed more information.

Outcome

  • Our solution helped our client to take their apparel business to the next level of sustainability.
  • Tracking carbon emissions and UNSDG throughout the supply chain gave consumers a convenient way to make more informed decisions. We enabled our clients to take concrete steps towards meeting their sustainability goals.
  • We are proud to have played a role in making the fashion industry more sustainable and look forward to continuing to work with clients to achieve their sustainability goals.

Scytalelabs Develops Prototype for DHS (Dept. Of Homeland Security) Passport & Immigration Services

Scytalelabs is a technology company that specializes in developing secure and innovative solutions for complex identity and access management challenges. In response to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) call for proposals, Scytalelabs submitted a grant application proposing a prototype to prevent document fraud using Self Sovereign Identities powered by blockchain. The prototype addressed the two Technical Topic Areas (TTAs) outlined by DHS, which were the issuance and verification of certificates, licenses, and attestations and the storage and management of certificates, licenses, and attestations.

Problem

The current DHS passport and immigration services process involves a high level of manual effort and is prone to errors and inefficiencies. DHS requires a solution that can automate the process while ensuring that the system is secure and compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines. Additionally, the solution should provide privacy and confidentiality for users while reducing the risk of identity theft and fraud. The solutions required were split into three Technical Topic Areas (TTA’s):

  1. Issuance and Verification of Certificates, Licenses and Attestations
  2. Storage and Management of Certificates, Licenses and Attestations
  3. Decentralized and Derived PIV Credentials

 

DHS sought solutions that solved for the following problems:

  1. Globally Unique Identifier without the need for a central registration authority which could be standardized using W3C allowing them to be
      • Immutable
      • Resolvable
      • Cryptographically Verifiable

     

    2 .The use of Verifiable Credentials to allow for Data Interoperability across issuers holders and verifiers

      • Standardization of data formats
      • Standardization of digital signature schemes

 

     3. Digital version of physical credentials/attestations

      • Driver’s Licenses
      • Passports
      • Training Certificates
      • Educational Certificates

 

     4. Championing Globally Interoperable Specifications

      • Multi-Party Distributed Key Management
      • Tackling the hard challenge of distributed key management
      • Provisioning
      • Revocation
      • Re-Issuance
      • Based on NIST Special Publication 800-130: A Framework for Cryptographic Key Management

Solution

Scytalelabs digital identity solution addressed both TTA #1:  Issuance and Verification of Certificates, Licenses and Attestations and TTA #2: Storage and Management of Certificates, Licenses and Attestations. The digital document issuance system developed is better than conventional paper-based systems in ease of use, speed of use, and security.  Our solution benefits both the end users and the agencies by empowering both.  Users enjoy control over their data while the agencies control authority over the data.  Our system is a better alternative to a paper-based system in that it offers more value than a paper-based system without the drawbacks.  The most innovative aspect of this system is that like paper-based systems, the users own and control their data—data can only ever be released with the user’s consent.  Thereby, this system affords the same level of privacy as when using paper-based credentials; the authorities do not need to know if the credential has been presented elsewhere.  In addition, unlike presenting a physical card, which reveals all the data, this system enables the user to disclose relevant data only—without any compromise on security, authenticity or provenance.  The system also resolves the “phone home” problem for authorities; authorities can easily verify whether a credential has been revoked or suspended.

Our solution is designed on top of recent technological breakthroughs such as the Blockchain.  We adhere to the evolving technology standards which have been championed and funded by DHS.  Our solution is built on top of Sovrin Network, a public but permissioned blockchain network that has been designed to specifically deal with DIDs and self-sovereign identities.  We chose Hyperledger Indy to develop the application layer, for it supports Sovrin but is not bound to it.  It can be tailored to use any Blockchain network that supports operations on DIDs.  Indy allows us to use modern technologies and standards such as Zero Knowledge proofs and verifiable credentials to bring to life our FIPS and NIST 800-63 compatible solutions.

Our solution alleviates user concerns over privacy and security of their data by putting them in control of their own data.  It helps the agencies to retain authority over issued data; they can safely revoke or suspend credentials as needed.  We envision our solution to become the forerunner for digital adoption across Federal departments in the United States wherever digital credentials matter.

The only limitation of the current solution is the use of FIDO UAF instead of FIDO U2F which makes this solution miss TTA #3.  We can incorporate or change over to U2F in the future since the authentication and verification are decoupled in the architecture.  However, it must be noted that the decision to go with UAF is a deliberate choice to enhance usability and ease of use, to make the product’s adoption quick and its commercial success a reality.

Outcome

Scytalelabs successfully demonstrated its ability to develop innovative and secure solutions for complex identity and access management challenges. The prototype proposed and developed for DHS passport and immigration services addressed the two TTAs, namely the issuance and verification of certificates, licenses, and attestations, and the storage and management of certificates, licenses, and attestations. The solution was designed to be compliant with the highest security standards and provided an extra layer of security and privacy for users. The incorporation of FIDO authentication added an extra layer of security and convenience, making the process of identity verification faster and more efficient.
