About AstroX & ME​

Who are you? What's AstroX?​

AstroX currently have three products under development at the same time:

  • ME aims to establish a decentralized identity system for Web3 so users can safely use blockchain services in an anonymous state.
  • At the same time, we are developing a Mini-Dapps container protocol on Internet Computer, which will bring decentralized, fully trusted execution on-chain and user privacy protection to the blockchain world.
  • To speed up the process of mobile applications on-chain and cater to the user's habit of a broader range, we provide Agent Dart for Dapp developers, allowing users to experience blockchain service in a way closer to native applications.

Why do you want to do this project?​

  • The user's habit is inseparable from the mobile clients. Therefore support for mobile clients is necessary. The demand for IC ecological projects users for mobile clients is also increasing. As a result, Agent Dart is essential.
  • Compared with Ethereum, identity on IC and wallet are different concepts. The identity will be a more primary entry point than the wallet. The identity can contain more information, such as email, Twitter, and other social data, which can be tied to a third-party wallet for use in transactions. In addition, using an identity to authorize a third-party DApp to log in will act as an anonymous identity, so the original identity information will not be tracked, protecting account privacy.

What's the scope of ME?​

We have just implemented the most basic identity registration and login function. We will consider making the identity an aggregator, which can connect a lot of information, such as various devices' wallets, authorizing DApp login, etc. We hope to establish identity standards on IC and cooperate more with external Dapps. In addition, with our Mini-Dapps framework, the project can be expanded in many directions in the future.

Will there be a token sale?​

For the time being, we do not consider tokenomics, which involves more complicated issues such as DAO. But it is undeniable that token is a good user spontaneous incentive mechanism, and we will consider introducing it when the time is ripe.

About features​

I have no ICP wallets. Can I sign up ME?​

Yes, for sure! ME supports signing up with biometric devices and Ethereum wallets. You can use fingerprint or face to sign up if your device supports them. And even if you only have Ethereum wallets, you can connect to it and get ME as well.

You can link as many II anchors as you like! That means you can manage all your II anchors in ME. ME will not store any seed phrases of your II; all information is under your control.

What can I do after linking Internet Identity Anchors?​

ME allows you to authorize Dapps with your II anchors. Through it, you no longer need to remember II anchors and select one of your II anchors linked with ME.

Notice: This feature has been developed but is not ready to be open to you all.

In the future, you can connect wallets, add a personal avatar, show NFTs, etc., and we are working on it. Please stay tuned.

There is an error indicating that the verification code cannot be requested. I need to go to the II to see if it is in the process of adding the device.​

Please also open the II page to see if you have clicked "ADD NEW DEVICE" and selected "Remote device", and the II page is displayed as follows:

Once the II page is displayed as shown, copy the verification code from the ME page, paste it into the "Verification Code" box on the II page, and click the button below. Then go back to the ME page and wait for it to refresh.

There is an error prompting the verification code can not be requested. I need to go to II to cancel the process.​

Refresh the II website and log in again, click the "Cancel" button at the bottom of the page, and then go through the "Add New Device" -> "Remote Device" process again.

ME side shows the verification code, but there is no place to enter it on the II page?​

Please wait for a while (5-10 seconds) and the II page should automatically refresh and display the verification code entry box.

If the II page does not change for a long time, please refresh the II page and log in again to access the page as shown below.

What if I'm connected to ME for more than 15 minutes indicated on the II page?​

Please refresh the ME and II pages and log back in to go through the process again.

What's the ME APP?​

ME APP is a mobile product we provide to users. Users can more conveniently perform identity management, ICP transactions, authorized login to DApp, and other operations anytime and anywhere.

About security​

Does ME store my II identity anchor's mnemonic or private key?​

No. ME does not store any of your II's mnemonics, all information is under your own control.

Why does it add ME Dapp as a new device to my Internet Identity?​

ME can provide ease of use to manage your Internet Identities and NNS wallets. The only way to realize such functionalities is to reach out to your principal id first. Therefore, ME Dapp requests to be a new device in your Internet Identity. And then ME can use the principal id to ask for verifications before some sensitive operations. Every step is totally under your control.

For new users, it’s recommended to create a new Internet Identitie and NNS wallet, and then to link them to ME.

Do my identity data save in your servers?​

ME is a totally decentralized application. No centralized servers or cloud services are involed. ME only interacts with canisters running on Internet Computer.

What ME save:

Only some of the necessary data will be stored, such as the relationship between username and II Anchors, principal id.

What ME does NOT save:

  • Your recovery phrase. ONLY you can access it.
  • Your fingerprint/face data. They doesn’t leave your device.
  • Any other your personally identifiable or private data.

Does ME has fully control on my Internet Identity and NNS?​

ME acts as a device in your Internet Identity and only knows its principal id. ME use the principal id to ask for verifications by you own. Without fingerprint or other verifying methods, ME can do nothing to your identities.

Is it safe when I transfer ICP via ME?​

ME offers capability of transferring ICP after you connect your NNS wallet. And all these functionalities are totally under you control.

Your transferring operation only interacts with the ledger canister. ME acts as a frontend application for II, NNS and Ledger integrator.
