Kairos is a platform that transforms cultural and arts participation into meaningful, embodied footprints, preserving precious moments while fostering direct connections between content creators—such as museums, artists, curators, and event organizers—and their audiences.

Kairos Footprints serve as a form of Proof of Attendance (POA), recording personal participation, event attendance, or memorable moments. They provide event organizers and content creators with a reliable way to verify attendance, while offering attendees a unique method to preserve precious experiences.

Kairos Footprints are designed as collectible souvenirs to commemorate attendance at cultural and arts events. Similar to ticket stubs or stickers, they are both fun and collectible. Kairos Footprints support a variety of digital formats, including images, text, videos, animations, 3D models, and interactive media.

Each Kairos Footprint includes detailed information, such as event content, dates, and times, enabling us to connect the dots of a user’s participatory moments, creating its unique digital path. Through the open and transparent nature of the Kairos platform, users can connect with like-minded individuals by identifying overlaps in their footprints and following updates from content creators.

The potential of Kairos and its Footprints is to make cultural and artistic participation visible, transforming it into a milestone-like, playful experience that encourages engagement and rewards accumulation. It turns your participation into a unique, shareable, and pride-worthy journey, while fostering community-building in the digital space through Kairos Footprints.

Each person can collect a specific Kairos Footprint only once. Your participation, experiences, and moments are inherently personal and unique to you. Collecting a Footprint preserves these moments, transforming fleeting instances into meaningful tokens.

Users can collect Kairos Footprints by scanning QR codes at the event they are attending and following the instructions to open a blockchain wallet, allowing them to start collecting their tokenized attendance.

Kairos Footprints are minted and stored on the blockchain through smart contracts and distributed as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) using open standards. They are decentralized, transparent, and immutable, owned by their creators and collectors, and securely stored in blockchain wallets.

A wallet is a user interface on the blockchain that functions as both an ID and a ledger, allowing users to manage their cryptocurrencies, tokens, and assets on a decentralized framework.

After scanning a Kairos Footprint QR Code, users can set up a wallet with their Google account. Each email corresponds to one wallet.

The wallet holding Kairos Footprints is identified by a unique, randomly generated cryptographic hash. The owner’s identity remains encrypted unless the user opts to reveal it, such as by adding a real name or nickname on the Kairos platform.

Blockchain wallets are highly secure and immutable, protected by robust cryptographic technology that is extremely difficult to breach. Wallet owners have full control and ownership of their assets, including fungible and non-fungible tokens.

When content creators engage with their audiences by issuing Kairos Footprints, they can convey specific messages and potential meanings, fostering a new dimension of cultural and artistic social experiments—intimate yet public.

Our goal is to make Kairos Footprints accessible to everyone, ensuring they remain open and permissionless. However, during the early stages of the Kairos platform, access will be limited to partner collaborators.

開路是一個將參與藝文活動和事件的經歷化為具體的足跡、紀錄珍貴的時刻，也嘗試建立起內容生產者（例如美術館、藝術家、策展人或活動組織者等）與參與者之間直接關係的平台。

「開路足跡」是一種「出席證明」（Proof of Attendance），是親身參與、經歷或見證活動、事件的紀錄。它為內容生產者和活動組織者提供一種確認活動出席的客觀標誌，也對參與者來說成為一種獨特且可靠的方法來留下這些珍貴的時刻。

「開路足跡」的作用在於被領取，以便留下自己出席各種活與事件的紀錄。我們希望它如同手章、貼紙一樣有趣且具有蒐藏性，可以是靜態的圖文也支援更多樣的數位形式，例如影像和動畫，甚至 3D 及可互動的創作格式等。

「開路足跡」包括各種不同事件與活動的圖像與詳細訊息，數位化每個人獨特的藝文參與經歷。同時，也透過「開路」平台上公開透明的特性，發現自己與他人「開路足跡」的交會之處，也追蹤內容生產者。

「開路」平台與「開路足跡」的目的，都是讓藝文參與的歷程變得可見，成為里程碑式的遊戲性體驗，促進參與，獎勵積累。它不只讓藝文參成為獨特且呈現出差異，值得分享和自豪的事情，也藉由「開路足跡」的公開透明特性，在數位世界中形成另一維度社群的可能。

一般情況下，一個人只能領取單個活動或事件的「開路足跡」一次。因為參與、經歷或見證等行為，都是屬於自己而非他人的；能夠領取「開路足跡」的當下，也必然是持續流逝與不可重複的。

現階段，只要在使用「開路」的活動現場掃描「開路足跡」的QR Code ，依循流程引導開啟區塊鏈錢包，即可領取。

開路足跡透過智能合約於區塊鏈上進行鑄造和儲存，以通用的代幣標準作為「非同質代幣」（所謂的 NFT）進行分發，因此是公開、不可竄改的。當它製作完成和被領取時，則先後由製作者和領取者所有，存放在他們的區塊鏈錢包內。

錢包是區塊鏈使用者的個人帳戶，既類似身分證又類似存摺，端看其中存放的代幣類型及其底層倚賴的去中心技術。

掃描開路提供的開路足跡 QR Code之後，領取者只要登入自己的Google電子郵件信箱，即能自動開設完成。一個信箱對應一個錢包。

開路足跡所在的錢包，表現為一長串隨機編碼，每個錢包都不同。因此，瀏覽與查找開路足跡的人無法得知錢包所有者的身分，除非使用者自願揭露——好比在「開路」平台上編輯自己的真實姓名，或取一個酷暱稱。

區塊鏈錢包有著難以破解的加密技術，存於其中的代幣（非同質代幣只是一種）由錢包使用者全權所有與控制，不存於任何第三方，因此不易被盜取和監控。

只要內容生產者試圖讓支持者領取開路足跡，有特定的訊息與意義欲在過程中傳達，就能使用開路。開路可以作為一個工具、素材、介面或通道，發生在任何作品、展演、遊戲、事件和文本中。 當內容創作者透過發行「開路足跡」與觀眾互動時，他們可以傳遞特定的訊息與潛在的意涵，開創一種全新的藝術與文化社交的實驗維度，既親密又開放。

我們的目標是使任何人都能在此發行「開路足跡」，因為區塊鏈是開放、無須特許的。 但在平台草創階段，我們僅針對合作夥伴開放。
