Use Cases
There are a lot of use cases where Calimero can be used and here are some of them:
Private DAOs Management
Migrate sensitive on-chain and off-chain data into a DAO-owned private Calimero application, enabling you to interact with the base chain of the DAO. DAO members keep the core contract logic on-chain, while shielding all the sensitive data.
Decentralized Voting Systems
Enhance trust in voting by creating a secure and tamper-proof voting process application, ensuring each vote is counted accurately and cannot be altered. This technology enhances trust in voting by providing verifiable and immutable records while protecting voter privacy. It empowers voters, reduces the risk of fraud, and promotes democratic participation through a transparent and secure voting platform.
Decentralized Social Platforms
Build social experiences which need scalable but private data like social groups, direct messages and others, while eliminating high transaction costs (gas fees associated with blockchains). This can include exclusive groups and gated communities based on ownership of NFTs or token payments which would allow participation and decryption of the community data content.
Decentralized Productivity (DeProd) SaaS
Create a decentralized productivity tools suite by self hosting your data on Calimero’s private applications and move away from the control of centralized entities. The new platform would mitigate the burden of lifetime deals and hard migration processes for the current users of Productivity SaaS solutions.
Decentralized Gig Economy
Disrupt the current gig economy players and compose a fully decentralized ride sharing, freelancing, temporary work, mechanical turk platform, or any other shared economy model where each network participant gets their fair share of the profits.
Trustless Gaming
Resolve the transparency and verification problems in games with turn mechanics (i.e. Battleship), and in those where private data holds significant importance (i.e. poker).
Decentralized Edge Compute
Most of the general compute today happens on cloud service because that is where most of the data lives. With Calimero, all the applications data is stored locally, whereas Calimero enables edge compute on that data. Combined with the use of decentralized AI and Edge Inference LLMs, there are numerous use cases how Calimero can enhance user experience: Edge AI on users data for social spam filtering, e-commerce shopping recommendations across channels, to name a few. This would allow users to finally maximize the endless possibilities from their data, on their own rules.
For example, when you used to purchase from a certain merchant, the data was fully controlled by that merchant or the platform where the data was hosted, which would yield to your recommendations being exclusively tied to that merchant. But if the data would have lived on your device, your data recommendations would have been across various market channels, and not exclusively tied to that specific merchant.
Decentralized Identity Verification
Create a private Calimero application network which provides transparent and trusted identity verification for service providers. With Calimero, sensitive procedures such as opening a bank account or applying for Visas would not require service providers to host the data of their users at centralized entities any more.
Decentralized Intellectual Property Management
The traditional platforms for managing and enforcing intellectual property rights are not fully transparent, resulting in creators not being able to maximize the utility of their work. Developing a decentralized IP management platform would result in a fairer compensation system for all creators.
