Crazy project: DOMStream Compile React components into UTXOs that form valid transactions👀 Support privacy & batching sessions into a single tx. Powered by Starstream Goal: decentralized frontends!

React is a way to programmatically create and manage a DOM (html) using Javascipt You can add/remove elementg dynamically based on program state (ex: remove an item from the page after it's bought)

The key insight is that UTXOs can model object lifetimes (keep creating new utxos to represent program contiuations) So you can represent the lifetime of DOM elements as utxos as well!

For example, <button> is added -> create a utxo <button> is removed -> consume utxo props -> constructor state -> datum

Since Starstream supports privacy (via ZK) it means you can run the UI locally and prove statements about your UI without revealing any information (ex: data you entered or navigation history)

Since Starstream supports compression (via ZK) It means any proof about the state of your UI is small! (〜16kbs!)

This means you can easily use DOMStream to create decentralized frontends And do so using tools you know (react) powerered by the same VM as your smart contracts!

It's a crazy idea, but I feel it's a huge improvement over other solutions that require you to learn whole new tools and paradigms here, it's all just react and utxos!

Starstream is still in active development, and DOMStream is a crazy extension of the concept Want to contribute thoughts or learn more? Join the Starstream Working Group below!

This sounds so brilliant. Returned custom components based on the state of the utxo. My mind is soaring towards RWA registration tokenization referring to specific react modules (a location of memory) I wonder if that could be a thing. Immutable ledger referenc8ng a react object that would only pass if unmodified (validator)

I wonder if a good initial use case might be to build a voting website that uses ZK proofs UTXOs everything is recorded and yet privacy is maintained
