(https://adosia.com/documents/adosia_whitepaper.pdf) (new whitepaper coming soon)
Upon being contacted by regulators, Adosia opted to cooperate while moving to build out the Adosia IoT platform without funding - and we managed to build something better than originally intended while preserving the goal of aligning for tokenization on Cardano
Adosia is now a fully functional end-to-end utility application enabling users to create, define and deploy custom WiFi control systems - this requires the user to have minimal hardware experience and zero software development knowledge - most of our customers are using Adosia to deploy (and monitor) custom cultivation and gardening applications - though many are using it for natural gas/smoke detection, motion control, and a variety of hobby applications (motion-activated Christmas tree lights, makeshift security, etc).
Enter Cardano:
Adosia's ADO token / Goguen positioning predominantly entails enabling users to sell/monetize their IoT creations within a p2p marketplace via offering packages of "IoT device operating profiles" which other users can purchase/license to enable their own open hardware - as one example our Canadian cannabis customers can monetize their cultivation profiles via enabling other customers across the globe to purchase or license their IoT operating profile setups ("data IP").
Adosia is working to incentivize IoT data submission of potentially useful analog data (moisture levels) and select digital data (such as temperature, humidity, etc) and work to see if that can be monetized via DMP (data marketplace) for sustained revenue post incentive phase.
Adosia's Fund2 proposal, a parallel initiative, entails a core library to sign Cardano transactions locally - so an IoT device itself can perform transactions to purchase such upgrades and profiles - the architecture there would entail the user generating the build transaction server side, then the device pulling that in locally to sign, and then sending out the necessary components for the signed CBOR to be submitted to the chain via a hot cardano node - this component will enable a baseline for broad development to occur within the Arduino ecosystem as well as enable Adosia devices to complete purchases on their own behalf as well as to authenticate themselves within the system.
Adosia is also working to readily modify our platform in a manner to enable any user with a Cardano wallet to trigger IoT actions simply by sending a transaction to a specific Cardano address. For each given IoT device, Adosia users would simply define the Cardano address(es) to monitor, purchase pricing, and 3 bit external IO to trigger (supporting up to 8 products ) for each relevant product item.
Adosia Heidrun:
Heidrun, originally created to support the Adosia IoT project (Catalyst Fund3 deliverable), is an open source platform API that enables developers a simple self-hosted means to rapidly integrate both accepting Cardano payments as well as add support for user or app initiated Cardano native asset withdrawals directly into custom applications.
Heidrun exists as a standalone node, operates completely independent of smart contracts, and is Cardano "node-less" (currently utilizes BlockFrost API).
Adosia is currently using Heidrun to:
- accept Ada payments for custom IoT triggering upon Ada payment receipt
- accept Ada payments for enabling Adosia SaaS subscriptions
- accept Ada payments for enabling Adosia IoT platform account and device upgrades wit
- accept Ada payments for on-platform ADO token purchases
- accept Ada payments to enable ADO token withdrawals
