Hello Polkadot Ecosystem and the awesome world of Web3 to this video guide to our testnet, known as the InvArch Tinkernet!

In this video, we have Gabriel (Gabe) Facco de Arruda–InvArch’s Co-Founder and Senior Rust Engineer, and A.J. Recana–InvArch’s Social Media Manager, who will be unveiling this video guide. A.J. will first be presenting each use-case, followed by Gabe, who will be demonstrating how each use-case can be done on the InvArch Tinkernet.

Important Information:

*Where you will be going to check out and tinker with the InvArch Tinkernet is not an interface that is user-friendly, it is more for developers to technically interact with and scrutinize

If you need any help during the first run of the InvArch Tinkernet (March 25th to March 31st), please do not hesitate to reach out to the team via Discord

The use-cases presented and demonstrated in this video are as follows: • E-Book • Music • Code

E-book Use-Case: (Video Timestamp: @ 0:27)

The objective (mentioned in-video as ‘scenario’): Mint a .pdf e-book into an IP File (IPF) Create an IP Set (IPS) containing the IPFs Mint IPTs for someone else

Real-world example: Let’s say an investor invested into A.J., as a writer, where they (the investor) gets a percentage (%) of ownership following the completion of the e-book; A.J. mints the book into an IPF, creates an IP Set (IPS) that contains the IPFs, and then it autmaically gets an IPT; then A.J. can go ahead and choose to mint more IPTs for the investor to get their investment back

Music Use-Case: (Video Timestamp: @ 13:58)

The objective: Where 5 separate songs or tracks are minted as IPFs; Then the 5 IPFs are put into an IP Set (IPS), otherwise, an album

Real-world example: An independent group of artists decides to create an album. Each artist writes/produces 1 track of their own to create a total of 5 songs. Each song is minted as an IPF, then they are put together as an IP Set a.k.a the album they wanted to create, / they then release the album onto streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify – say the album goes to #1 and gets millions of streams, each artist would earn one-fifth of the revenue because they all equally contributed to the production of the album; and, there is no label involved

Disclaimer: The music files used in this video are from freemusicarchive.org/genre/Hip-Hop_beats Each song is create/produced by Ketsa; InvArch does NOT claim any credit, copyright, nor ownership of the music files shown in our video Stated by the website, each song is “free to use under specific conditions”; a link which leads to creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ – which states that anyone that downloads a song from the site mentioned above is free to “Share – copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format” InvArch has not and will not use the material for commercial purposes

Code Use-Case: (Video Timestamp: @ 34:29)

The objective: This use-case will be used to demonstrate how you can create IPReplicas

Real-world example: This was an example showing (what we call in "Git"), a developer that can fork someone's repository, and they can then start building their version on top of it

Notes (Code Use-case): For now, a replica does not allow other replicas; in other words, replicas themselves cannot be further replicated In the future, we will have licensing functionality, so we'll have more complex types of replicas Furthermore, the InvArch protocols in the future will be different from this; this first-run InvArch Tinkernet example is just a simple demo, a.k.a testnet With GitArch, the way Git handles files can be done on-chain We don't just have to mint, i.e., doing so by saying or stating changes in a .diff, it can be the actual Git Protocol.

Gabe’s Ending Notes:

"I would like everyone to have fun testing out the testnet!

We worked hard on these pallets. We want people to break them; as counter-intuitive as that sounds, we want people to actually find everything they can, explore what they can do with it, to go wild with it!

Anything that you have to report back, we'll be there with you guys on Discord/checking Twitter; if you find any issues we will be with you! And please share any ideas, any use-cases that you may come up with, we would love to hear about them!"

Conclusion:

There you have it! Please do take some time to digest this video guide to the InvArch Tinkernet! Again, if you have any questions, comments, positive comments or critical comments on the Tinkernet during and after the testnet phase, please do tell us via the comments section of the video guide, in our Discord community, and tweet us @InvArchNetwork on Twitter!

We hope you have all enjoyed this video guide and we are very excited to launch InvArch Tinkernet on March 25th!

See you soon.
