RAIR Technologies, a leading Web3 innovation company, has launched RAIRprotocol, an open-source protocol layer for decentralized applications (dApps). This new protocol aims to help developers create scalable dApps using an open token licensing model, speeding up their entry into the Web3 space.
The RAIRprotocol includes several key features: smart accounts, a marketplace, digital rights management (DRM), and infrastructure for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Notably, it offers 88 documented API endpoints for enterprises to use through an open-source token licensing model.
Ed Prado, CEO of RAIR Technologies, highlighted that a significant barrier to Web3’s broader adoption is the ambition of startups to become the next Google. He emphasized that Web3’s success hinges on its core principles of decentralization, transparency, and community involvement. Integrating directly with RAIRprotocol allows large enterprises to reduce risks and gain a strategic edge in the competitive Web3 landscape.
RAIRprotocol enables partnerships with noncustodial auth infrastructure Web3Auth and Web3 development platform Alchemy. It also supports integration with services like Google Cloud, MongoDB Atlas, Coingecko, Filebase, and Hashicorp. Developers can use RAIR Technologies and RAIRprotocol independently or together, depending on their project needs.
The protocol offers six microservices:
- RAIRsolidity: For granular on-chain NFT minting, royalty, resale, fungible token credit, and marketplace logic via ERC2535 upgradeable diamond multi-proxy contracts.
- RAIRnode: A backend for creating modular API endpoints and scalable off-chain cloud infrastructure.
- RAIRfrontend: Deploying customizable mobile-first NFT marketplace frontends.
- RAIRstream: DRM-protected content with a full FFmpeg encoder/transcoder.
- RAIRsync: Syncing smart contract addresses via the Alchemy syncing engine.
- RAIRinfra: Full open-sourcing of RAIR cloud infrastructure tooling, including Kubernetes and terraform workflows.
To use RAIR’s open-source code, developers need to secure an NFT license, which must be included in the NOTICE file of derivative works to ensure compliance with the licensing terms.
Garrett Minks, CTO of RAIR Technologies, noted that RAIRprotocol, which has been in development since 2019 with over $3 million invested, provides a ready-to-use framework that significantly accelerates the onboarding process for new Web3 developers.
