Types of Notifications
The Neo Cast protocol supports various types of notifications, each designed for specific communication needs. Here's a quick overview of the different types of notifications available:
Broadcast Notifications:
Description: Broadcast notifications are messages sent to all subscribers of a channel simultaneously.
Use Case: This type of notification is ideal for broadcasting general announcements, updates, or news to the entire subscriber base of a channel.
Targeted Notifications:
Description: Targeted notifications enable channel owners to send messages to specific wallet addresses.
Use Case: Use targeted notifications when you want to deliver personalized messages to individual subscribers. It allows for one-to-one communication.
Subset Notifications:
Description: Subset notifications are notifications sent to a specific group of subscribers within a channel.
Use Case: This type of notification is useful when you want to notify a particular segment of your subscriber base. It allows you to tailor messages to different subscriber groups based on their interests or characteristics.
The Neo Cast protocol continues to evolve, and new notification types may be added in the future to accommodate diverse communication needs. For example, one potential future notification type could be:
Secret Notifications:
Description: Secret notifications are encrypted messages that use asymmetric encryption, typically involving a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
Use Case: Secret notifications are designed for confidential or sensitive communications. They ensure that only the intended recipient with the private key can decrypt and read the message.
These notification types offer flexibility for channel owners to effectively engage with their subscribers based on the nature of the content and the target audience. As the Neo Cast protocol evolves, more notification types may be introduced to meet emerging communication requirements.
