Neo Cast Notification for Web3

Web3 Notifications

Web3 notifications are a vital part of the communication within the decentralized web, providing users with important updates, information, and alerts related to various aspects of the web3 ecosystem. Here's a quick explanation of what web3 notifications are, who can trigger them, and their different types:

What Are Web3 Notifications? Web3 notifications are messages or alerts sent to users within the web3 ecosystem. These notifications keep users informed about a wide range of topics, including DeFi (Decentralized Finance) activities, governance proposals, web3 news, and critical updates related to protocols and services. Web3 notifications are designed to enhance user engagement and provide timely information.

Who Can Trigger Web3 Notifications? In the web3 ecosystem, there are three main actors who can trigger and send notifications:

  1. Channel Owners: The owners of a specific channel have the authority to send notifications to their channel's subscribers. These notifications are typically related to updates or announcements specific to the channel's content or service.

  2. Delegate Notification Senders: Channel owners can delegate the power to send notifications on behalf of their channel to specific wallet addresses. This feature, known as delegated notifications, allows trusted entities to assist in sending notifications, expanding the reach and capabilities of the channel.

  3. Notifications To Yourself: The Neo Cast Communicator feature enables any address to send notifications to themselves. While this doesn't involve communication with others, it can be useful for self-alerts or reminders.

Types of Web3 Notifications: Web3 notifications can cover a wide spectrum of topics and updates, including but not limited to:

  • DeFi Activities: Notifications about changes in DeFi protocols, yield farming opportunities, or token swaps.

  • Governance Proposals: Alerts regarding upcoming or ongoing governance proposals and voting opportunities.

  • Web3 News: Updates on the latest developments, partnerships, and news within the web3 ecosystem.

  • Protocol/Service Updates: Information about changes, upgrades, or maintenance related to specific protocols or services.

Receiving Web3 Notifications: Web3 notifications are received by users who have opted into a particular channel. These notifications appear directly in the inbox of subscribed users, ensuring that they receive important updates. Non-subscribers of a channel do not receive these notifications; instead, they are categorized as spam.

It's important to note that sending web3 notifications is typically a gasless transaction, meaning that notification senders do not need to pay gas fees when sending notifications via the dApp. Gas fees are only applicable when on-chain notifications are triggered directly from smart contracts.

In summary, web3 notifications are essential for keeping users informed within the decentralized web. They can cover various topics and are sent by channel owners, delegate notification senders, and even users to themselves. Subscribed users receive notifications in their inbox, while non-subscribers do not receive them, categorizing them as spam. Gas fees are not required for most web3 notification transactions.
