The second step in the micropayments stage was to validate streaming payments for streaming content, by combining a blockchain, a web browser, conversion from Geeq to micropayments, and websites that would accept micropayments in order to stream video or audio files. This functionality was released to the community.
The community could simulate using $Geeq (by using a pre-loaded wallet of pretend tokens) to fund and spend micropayments, mediated by transactions to a Geeq chain.
The Geeq Block Explorer for the Stacks App provides a transparent and intuitive interface to view and verify on-chain activity. It allows users to examine the provenance, authenticity, and sequence of every layer within a Stack, leveraging Geeq’s no-smart contract protocol.
Designed for accessibility and precision, the Block Explorer ensures all data is organized, searchable, and easily auditable, making blockchain validation straightforward for both users and developers.
The Geeq Stacks App is Geeq’s innovative on-chain solution for managing dynamic, multi-layered digital collections. It enables users to authenticate, append, and organize data securely, all without the need for smart contracts.
Geeq Stacks offers a new approach to blockchain-backed organization and verification, providing intuitive tools to curate evolving assets and unlock practical, scalable applications for businesses and individuals.
The Stacks App and its customized block explorer were deployed simultaneously over multiple chains, for the first round of VIP NFT pass holders. Gold holders were provided more credits each on their own chain, while silver and bronze holders shared a different chain. (Yes!)
The first step in the development work for Geeq’s protocols was a proof of concept for independent node’s individual validation of standard coin transactions, including the self-audit feature of the network when the proofs provided by nodes diverge.
A browser demo was released in February 2021. Also, find out more about Geeq Pay. Being able to make and receive payments is the first hurdle for any decentralized blockchain technology-as-a-service.
Aitrex built the first, non-custodial, multi-chain Geeq wallet as a mobile app. Named “SafeQeep” by the Community, SafeQeep includes an in-wallet feature to tokenize your data with a secret encryption key, sign it with your account’s private key, and send it to a Geeq chain. Read about its built-in contract-free mint here.
The next step was to show Geeq could scale to settle micropayments on-chain. Micropayments have always been a core use case for Geeq’s high-volume, low-margin, multi-chain infrastructure, built with bearer token technology from the second patent application.
The goal was to provide the digital equivalent of small change. A parent could fund a child’s purse by converting Geeq into discrete nickels and dimes. These tokens remained denominated in Geeq but, once issued,
APIs (application program interfaces) had to be developed in order to interact with the Geeq Data webapp, the Geeq Data block explorer, and the blockchains. The environment is described in detail here.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) build logically on Geeq’s secure validation of transactions with application payloads and metadata. The issuer fixes the characteristics and terms of the NFT. An NFT is minted by sending an application layer transaction. When the mint transaction is validated, a permanent record is created in the application layer. No smart contracts are required.
Geeq NFTs are controlled by coin accounts, so transactions that involve existing NFTs interact only with the validation blockchain.
Geeq Data is Geeq’s first native web application. It uses Geeq’s ground-breaking method of scaling while every application transaction is settled securely on-chain. Geeq apps do not require smart contracts.
Geeq Data is an attestation service: an obvious area where businesses and individuals will benefit from Geeq’s efficient, sustainable, reliable, and uniquely neutral blockchain protocols.
Geeq Data is endpoint-agnostic.
sReleased Hydrogen (Q4 2024), Helium, and Carbon (Q1, Q2 2025) for the community as testnets with iterative changes to the Stacks App. Login through social media accounts (Twitter/X) to demonstrate easy access via Web2. Login with token-gated Geeq VIP Pass (on Blast) to demonstrate easy access via Web3. Held community contests for best Stacks! Easy-use wallet app within an app for token testnets and transactions was provided as a custodial wallet.
Responded to community requests for more features in Stacks App,
One of Geeq’s strengths is the ease with which it integrates Web2 or SaaS style apps with blockchain. The dev team prepared a NFT minting app for the community for the holidays. This was the first of many apps that can use Geeq’s NFTs!
For more details, please see the write-up in the December 2023 Technical Update.
The Stacks App integrates a custodial wallet to deliver a user-friendly experience. Users access familiar tools like DALL-E and can save or tokenize their work directly on a Geeq chain, extending their workflow with seamless blockchain integration.
The in-app wallet simplifies the process: it creates a wallet for the user, formats the blockchain transaction without touching the data, and provides a confirmation button. Upon user approval, the wallet signs and submits the transaction to the blockchain and waits for a notification that the asset is in the user’s account.
