Wallet Setup, App Connection and Blockchain Choice
4P is a Web3-native app supporting MetaMask, Coinbase, and Wallet Connect. We recommend beginners take the MetaMask Web3 101 course before starting.
Since 4P services run on-chain, ensure your wallet has enough gas for setup and operations. Currently, 4P supports Fantom Opera and Oasis Sapphire, requiring FTM and ROSE gas tokens. Holding 10,000 Four tokens (Fantom or Oasis Standard) in your wallet unlocks 4P Pro.
4P is a multi-chain application. Users can choose between a number of supported EVM blockchains. We recommend browsing the supported network list and choose blockchain most suited for your needs.
Steps:
⚙️ Install and login to a supported wallet
💰 Fund your wallet with gas
🤝 Connect your wallet with 4P App (app.the4thpillar.io)
🔗 Select blockchain (i.e. currently available Fantom Opera, Oasis Sapphire Mainnets and Sonic Testnet)
Dashboard Setup
The 4P Dashboard is your mission control within the app. It lets you set up self-custodial communication encryption via the Encryptor Extension and manage decentralized storage with PX Storage NFTs.
The Encryptor Extension adds an encryption layer for email and messaging. A one-time on-chain transaction, requiring gas, saves the sender/recipient's public key.
Decentralized storage and bandwidth are used in communication. PX Storage NFTs, which can be minted as needed, enable self-custodial storage management. Bandwidth usage depends on the number of uploads to decentralized storage.
Pro membership, activated with a balance of 10,000 Four tokens, is required to enjoy the full benefits of the 4P app. Steps:
⚙️ Download, Install the Encryptor Extension from the Google Chrome Store
🔧 Set your Encryptor password and save your seed words
⛓️ "Register Encryptor" and confirm the transaction with your wallet
👌 "Connect" your PX Storage NFT confirm the transaction with your wallet
⛏️ "Mint" your 100MB Free PX Storage NFT confirm the transaction with your wallet
👑 "Upgrade to Pro" (choice), swap FTM for 10,000 FOUR
Encryptor options; (1) Unlock your Encryptor = Your Encryptor extension is currently locked. Please unlock it to resume secure communication. (2) Register Your Encryptor = Please complete your registration with the Encryptor Extension by creating a transaction on the smart contract. This step is essential to activate the extension’s full capabilities and adds its visibility on the blockchain making the connection between the sender & recipient possible. PX Storage NFT and Bandwidth upgrade options; (1) Upgrade existing PX Storage NFT (i.e. every NFT included a specific number of Bandwidth uploads) by choosing between available packages. (2) Mint new PX Storage NFT by choosing between available packages. (3) Buy additional Bandwidth.
Sending and receiving on-chain emails
The 4P app empowers you to send and receive end-to-end encrypted emails, protecting against data mining, phishing, spoofing, spam, and identity theft. Both the sender and receiver must be on the same blockchain, as cross-chain emailing is not supported. While encryption is optional, we strongly encourage its use. On-chain communication incurs various fees throughout the process.
In the Basic plan, email attachments are limited to 20MB. The Pro plan has no attachment size limit, but it is constrained by the PX Storage NFT capacity. For example, if a user holds a 1GB NFT, they can send attachments up to 1GB.
4P Pro unlocks advanced email features like the Send Email tab. It also offers email whitelisting, allowing you to approve wallet addresses so only authorized accounts can send you emails.
