🌍 Arkiv Hello World

A simple decentralized message board powered by Arkiv

What makes this special? These messages are stored on Arkiv, a decentralized database. They're not in a traditional database - they're on-chain and independently verifiable!

🌐 Connected to Mendoza Testnet • Each message is stored as an entity (created via a transaction) • Click links below to verify on the explorer

Note: Messages on this demo page are signed by a wallet saved as an environmental variable. When you create your own version, you'll use your own wallet (don't worry; no funds needed), but your messages will still appear here!

What's happening here?

  • • Messages are stored as entities on Arkiv (decentralized database)
  • • Creating an entity is also a transaction on the blockchain
  • Entity = the data (your message, attributes, payload)
  • Transaction = the blockchain operation that creates/records that entity
  • • Anyone can read these messages (they're in the shared "ns" space)
  • • No central database required!

💡 Understanding Entities vs Transactions:

When you create a message, you get both an entity key (identifier for the data) and a transaction hash (identifier for the blockchain operation). Click the links above to see both on the explorer!
