Konnect3: NFT-Verified 3D Asset Delivery #
Overview
Konnect3 is a delivery and integration layer designed to securely route NFT-backed 3D assets into real-world environments such as game engines, metaverse platforms, and enterprise rendering pipelines. Built on top of the DAB (Decentralized Authentication Bridge) architecture, it authenticates wallet-based asset ownership, retrieves metadata-bound 3D models, and delivers them in native formats to target platforms including Unreal Engine, Unity, and NVIDIA Omniverse.
Functional Role #
Konnect3 acts as a delivery orchestration system for 3D kNFTs by:
- Verifying token ownership via DAB
- Extracting asset metadata and format requirements
- Delivering assets in target-native formats
- Enforcing licensing and monetization policies linked to the kNFT
Key Capabilities #
1. DAB-Backed Asset Authentication #
- Wallet-Based Identity Verification: Confirms asset ownership using cryptographic signature flow via DAB.
- Token-Gated Access Control: Ensures that only authorized wallets can access or use the asset.
- NFT Licensing Models: Supports time-based access, exclusive use rights, or utility trait restrictions.
2. Native Platform Integration #
| Platform | Integration Method |
|---|---|
| Unreal Engine | Direct loading of 3D assets into editor or runtime environment |
| Unity | Plugin-enabled kNFT support for prefabs, characters, and scene objects |
| NVIDIA Omniverse | Streamable delivery of 3D assets into real-time simulation environments |
| Web & SaaS | Asset API allows browser-based retrieval and use in custom renderers or portals |
3. Format Handling & Metadata Routing #
- Format-Agnostic Delivery: Supports
.glb,.fbx,.obj, and USD-based variants. - Metadata-Driven Retrieval:
- Uses on-chain kNFT metadata to locate, validate, and serve the appropriate version and format of an asset.
- Auto-Conversion Pipelines (Planned): On-demand file adaptation for custom platform requirements.
4. Monetization & Licensing Layer #
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| NFT Leasing | Time-bound access to assets based on smart contract terms |
| Creator Licensing | Usage tracking and monetization enforcement tied to token metadata |
| Versioning Support | Asset updates linked to NFT evolution (via DNA sequencing or metadata patching) |
Integration Workflow #
- User Authenticates via DAB
- DAB verifies wallet signature and NFT ownership
- Issues access token for authorized asset session
- Konnect3 Identifies Asset
- Queries metadata, licensing terms, and file path
- Checks licensing status and entitlement
- Platform-Specific Delivery
- Routes compatible asset format to Unreal, Unity, or Omniverse
- Enables usage in runtime or development context
- Developer Uses Asset
- Asset can now be used, modified, or included in the build pipeline
- Licensing logic is enforced via session state and kNFT metadata
System Components #
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| DAB Authentication Layer | Handles wallet login, NFT ownership verification, and access token issuance |
| Metadata Indexer | Fetches and filters kNFT traits for routing and file delivery |
| Asset Router | Delivers content via native file streaming to target endpoints |
| Plugin Connectors | Unity, Unreal, and Omniverse SDKs to integrate assets directly into scenes |
Primary Use Cases #
Game Developers #
- Import verified player-owned NFTs as in-game assets
- Enable asset customization, character skins, or items tied to NFTs
- Support buy/lease workflows directly inside the game environment
Digital Creators #
- Package and distribute kNFTs via a creator-led licensing model
- Ensure 3D models are accessible in downstream tools immediately after mint
- Use dynamic trait-driven updates to evolve or extend collections
Enterprise & Metaverse Operators #
- Import assets for product simulations, architectural visualization, or training systems
- Enforce access control through NFT-gated delivery
- Enable version tracking of digital twins and simulation inputs
Summary #
Konnect3 abstracts the complexity of NFT-bound asset deployment by bridging blockchain verification with platform-native delivery. It enables real-world usability of 3D assets through authenticated access, dynamic metadata routing, and direct plugin-based integration. Built to support monetization, interoperability, and rapid deployment, Konnect3 ensures that creators and developers can confidently deliver their digital assets anywhere they’re needed.
