And it's a wrap for the ETHIndia Fellowship🫡 I have to say that I am a bit overwhelmed that it's been 8 weeks already. In today’s post, I’ll be talking mostly about the project that I built during EIF and how things turned out, the current state of the project, and what I have in mind for the future.

I’ll put up all the relevant links for you to check out right at the start in order to give you more context on the project.

Just to give you a quick brief about the project, I started building Pixie🦄 because I wanted to build something that facilitates a seamless experience of sharing files, allows users to have complete control over who has access to their files, and further provides the ability to monetise💰 their files. If you checkout the project, I might have been able to pull off some parts of it, but I think there’s still so much that can be done, and I feel I am in a good state to execute things from here, as I have way more context on how to proceed with it than I had at the beginning of the project.

In the current state of the project:

*   You can store your files securely at a place (I call it the Pit)🕳️
    
*   Share access to a file with specific wallet addresses.
    
*   Add a paywall around your files by gating them with ERC1155 tokens🎟️
    

There are several components to the project, and I'd like to talk about them briefly:

The smart contract for the project was simple and clean enough to serve its purpose. The only thing I had on chain were file IDs for a user and the ability to mint specific ERC-20 tokens for a file. Other than that, all of the file and user data was stored in Polybase

The main logic for encrypting and decrypting and adding access control conditions to a file was handled via the Lighthouse SDK. I really like what they are doing, and I had a few interactions with people from their dev teams—really helpful and cool folks.

I want to keep building Pixie and get it into production as soon as possible, but before that, I’ll spend some time figuring out the product fit. I’ll try talking to people who would benefit from a solution like this and get their thoughts to improve my overall perception and possibilities for the project.

The entire build phase was nothing but a joyride for me. I had the time of my life building Pixie, making progress one step at a time.
