How T.A.L.A.
Operates.
Browser-bound encryption routed through immutable chain infrastructure. Your files are encrypted before they leave your device, stored on IPFS, and locked by smart contracts on Polygon. No backdoors. No trust required.
Encrypt → Lock → Unlock
ENCRYPT
In Your Browser
Files are encrypted with AES-256-GCM entirely on your device. The plaintext never leaves your machine.
LOCK
On The Blockchain
Encrypted data is pinned to IPFS and a time-lock smart contract is deployed on Polygon with your unlock epoch.
UNLOCK
When Time Arrives
When block.timestamp passes your unlock time, the vault opens. You decrypt locally with your saved key.
Seal &
Anchor
Client-Side Encryption
Before any data leaves your machine, T.A.L.A. encrypts your file entirely in-browser using military-grade cryptography.
- AES-256-GCM encryption standard
- Zero-knowledge architecture
- Plaintext never touches servers
- Keys generated per vault session
Decentralized Dispersion
The encrypted payload is distributed across a matrix of decentralized storage nodes for immutable persistence.
- IPFS enterprise pinning via Pinata
- Content-addressed immutable CIDs
- Redundant global replication
- Hash integrity guarantee
Smart Contract Lock
A cryptographic time-lock condition is anchored to the Polygon network. The blockchain becomes the authority.
- block.timestamp enforcement
- Immutable unlock epoch
- On-chain vault metadata
- No admin override exists
The Code That Guards Your Vault
No override function exists. The require() check is absolute.
Trigger &
Assembly
When the timestamp arrives, the contract opens. You decrypt locally with your saved key.
Temporal Fulfillment
The smart contract autonomously validates that the block timestamp has surpassed the unlock epoch.
- Block-time verification
- Autonomous on-chain triggers
- Gas-optimized resolution
- Zero human intervention
Access Authorization
Once the temporal condition is met, the contract authorizes the vault owner to retrieve and decrypt the payload.
- Contract state validation
- Owner address verification
- Decryption key required
- On-chain event emission
Local Decryption
The encrypted payload is fetched from IPFS and decrypted entirely in the recipient's browser using their saved key.
- Client-side AES decryption
- Integrity hash verification
- Immediate pristine access
- Key shredded after use
The Stack
Dissected.
Five layers of defense between your data and any adversary. Each layer is independently verifiable and operates with zero trust in the layers above it.
Every layer is open source and independently auditable.
APPLICATION
Server-rendered UI with client-side encryption engine. All crypto operations happen in your browser.
ENCRYPTION
Military-grade symmetric encryption. Keys generated locally, never transmitted. Zero-knowledge by design.
STORAGE
Content-addressed immutable storage. Encrypted data pinned across distributed nodes worldwide.
CONSENSUS
EVM-compatible L2 with sub-second finality. Time-lock conditions enforced by block.timestamp.
CONTRACT
Immutable smart contracts gate every unlock. No override functions. No admin keys. Code is law.
What We Guarantee
No admin can unlock early
Smart contracts have no override function
No server can read your files
Zero-knowledge encryption by design
No key escrow exists
Keys generated and used client-side only
No data can be altered
IPFS content-addressing guarantees integrity
No time manipulation
block.timestamp is consensus-validated
Every action is auditable
Full on-chain provenance trail
