🛠️ Allfeat Protocol Overview

Introduction

Allfeat is a decentralized network built using the Polkadot SDK — a modular blockchain framework designed for high-performance, application-specific blockchains.

Allfeat uses this framework to implement a public protocol focused entirely on music metadata, governed through a unique combination of technical and social consensus.

While previous sections explain what Allfeat is and why it exists, this section explains how it actually works — in precise, technical terms.

⚙️ A Blockchain-Based Metadata Protocol

Allfeat is not just a registry — it is a fully decentralized protocol that:

  • Anchors public metadata on-chain in a permanent and verifiable way
  • Validates the quality and legitimacy of metadata through collective governance
  • Defines a custom execution environment tailored to music industry needs

The network is powered by a blockchain built with the Polkadot SDK, meaning it:

  • Has its own runtime logic (compiled to WebAssembly)
  • Defines its own state machine and transaction formats
  • Uses a dual-layer consensus (PoA + PoM) to manage infrastructure and data governance

🔍 What You'll Find Here

This section dives into the technical architecture of the Allfeat protocol, including:

  • Runtime Architecture – How chain state, logic, and upgrades are handled
  • Consensus Design – Details on BABE, GRANDPA (PoA), and Proof-of-Metadata (PoM)
  • MIDDS Storage Model – How metadata is stored, linked, and validated
  • Extrinsics & Transactions – How data flows through the system and affects state
  • On-chain Economics – Collateral, transaction fees, reward pools, and DoS protections
  • Identifier Model – How on-chain IDs and Real World IDs are mapped and verified
  • Modular Pallets – Overview of the protocol’s internal modules (storage, certification, access control)
  • Security & Governance – How the protocol evolves while remaining transparent and tamper-resistant

🧠 Who This Is For

This section is designed for:

  • Web3 developers building integrations, dApps, SDKs, or analytics tools
  • Music tech builders who need to understand metadata verification and usage at the protocol level
  • Blockchain engineers interested in Polkadot SDK–based networks
  • Researchers analyzing decentralized data models in creative industries

Some familiarity with blockchain principles (transactions, consensus, runtimes, extrinsics) is assumed.

🚧 Specification in Progress

This section reflects the current design of the protocol.
Certain areas — especially around PoM certification logic and reward mechanics — are still being refined as we test and iterate.

We are committed to keeping this section up to date with each version of the protocol.
