Illustrative workflow (Pay & Store–style)
This page walks through encrypted storage, shared access, and USDC settlement on Arbitrum—the same stack described in the overview. It is a story device (Elena & David), not a literal feature checklist.
We are not describing a live SNFT barter marketplace, IDO, or Celo / NEAR / Oasis dependency. For what ships now, open Pay & Store and StablePay.
Stage 1: Creation & Securitization
The lifecycle begins when a standard file is transformed into a secure, sovereign digital asset with flexible storage options.
Action: Elena uploads draft blueprints to Pay & Store storage, choosing a standard tier. For the final signed contract she selects a longer-lived or permanent archive tier.
Behind the Scenes: Files are encrypted and addressed with content identifiers (IPFS-style CIDs). The Free tier uses time-bounded IPFS pinning; Standard and hot legs of Pro use 0G Storage; Pro archival and Enterprise use Arweave for permanence or immutability as described in the storage tiers. Keys and access policy are enforced by AirLiftLab’s security model (including on-chain components where deployed).
Stage 2: Management & Access Control
The asset's owner now needs to share it securely without losing control.
Action: Elena grants David (david@email.com) “View Only” access to the blueprints for 7 days with a single approval.
Behind the Scenes: Permissions are recorded in AirLiftLab’s access-control layer. David can view without repeated signatures from Elena, but download rules follow policy—signature-minimized sharing where the product allows it.
Stage 3: Agreement & payment link
The parties align on scope; settlement is prepared as a dollar-quoted stablecoin payment, not a bespoke NFT swap marketplace.
Action: David confirms the deliverable. Elena issues a payment request (StablePay-style) or in-app charge for 5,000 USDC equivalent—no "SNFT barter exchange" step.
Behind the Scenes: Ownership or entitlement to the secured asset is represented and transferred through AirLiftLab’s application and smart-contract layer on Arbitrum, with Ethereum providing settlement assurances—not NEAR or unrelated chain hubs.
Stage 4: Financial Settlement
The lifecycle concludes with a seamless, cross-border financial transaction.
Action: David accepts the swap and authorizes payment of 5,000 USDC (shown in dollars in the app).
Behind the Scenes: Stablecoin settlement executes on Arbitrum; batches are tied to Ethereum for final settlement policy. The app updates access rights when the trade completes—without routing through Celo, Oasis, or NEAR.
Sharing & permissions
Signature-minimized sharing and approvals are implemented in the product layer—with cryptography and policy enforcement appropriate to Pay & Store and StablePay—not via separate “AI agent hubs” on other chains.
User states intent
Elena chooses a high-level action in Pay & Store (for example, grant time-limited, view-only access).
Policy verification
AirLiftLab verifies accounts, roles, and constraints using the product security model (application logic plus on-chain checks where used).
Grant access
Encrypted access is updated; only the intended recipient receives decryption material after verification—without naming Oasis or NEAR as required infrastructure.
