About EOB (Email Over Blockchain)

It is a fun project, to demonstrate how blockchain email could look like. It is a simple app that allows you to send and receive emails over Blockchain.

EOB is on top of the LBRY protocol. However It is not the best fit for such a service, but it is good enough.
Feel free to contribute 😀

How it works

EOB works with the LBRY blockchain.
Sending an email is creating a transaction in the blockchain, this transaction contains email metadata.
So you keep the mail metadata in the blockchain and the mail itself in somewhere like IPFS.
Each LBRY channel is an account here. You can send and receive emails to/from channels.

Issues with LBRY

  • Mails on lbry protocols are not encrypted yet!
