TimeLink – A Blockchain Protocol for Preserving and Delivering Data to the Future

⚙️ How It Works

Users upload data (text, images, videos, contracts, NFTs, etc.) to the system.
The data is encrypted and stored in a decentralized storage system such as IPFS or Arweave.
A Time Lock Smart Contract on the blockchain defines the unlock time.
After the designated time passes, the recipient (or future generations) can access the data.

🛠️ Core Technologies

Blockchain: Ethereum Layer 2 (Base, Polygon, or Arbitrum)
Smart Contract: Solidity + TimeLock Protocol
Storage: Arweave / IPFS
Identity: ENS or Decentralized ID (DID)
Token: $TIME (for governance and storage fees)

🌐 Real-World Applications 🏛️ Digital Heritage Preservation – individuals send “letters to the future,” digital wills, memories, or NFT artworks to their descendants. 📜 Scientific or Technological Projects – store research data or public commitments to be revealed in the future. 💰 Time-Locked Assets – send crypto to others that can only be unlocked after a specific time. 🎓 Educational & Cultural Archives – preserve messages, lessons, and knowledge for future generations. 🧠 Unique Features ⏳ Time Capsule NFTs – each data package is represented by a unique NFT with a time unlock feature. 🔐 Strong Encryption – only authorized recipients hold the decryption keys. 🌍 Fully Decentralized – no one, not even the system itself, can access the data before the unlock time. 🪙 $TIME Token – used for storage payments and governance voting within the protocol.
