Smart Contract Mechanics

SocialBlock is powered by Solana-based smart contracts, enabling decentralized authentication, tokenized identity, live chatrooms, social tasks, rewards, and on-chain analytics. These automated, trustless, and transparent contracts ensure fair participation, secure transactions, and seamless community engagement.

This section provides an in-depth look at the smart contract mechanics that drive SocialBlock and how developers can contribute to building on-chain functionalities.

🔹 Core Smart Contracts in SocialBlock

SocialBlock utilizes a modular smart contract architecture built on Solana’s Sealevel runtime, allowing for high-speed transactions and low fees.

1️⃣ Authentication & Identity Contract

Manages wallet-based logins, SocialBlock Identity (SBID) identity minting, and reputation tracking.

Key Features: ✔ Wallet authentication – Users sign transactions to verify identity. ✔ SocialBlock Identity (SBID) issuance – Users mint a unique identity NFT. ✔ Reputation tracking – Smart contract updates on-chain engagement scores.

Example Function (Minting Identity SBID):

rust

pub fn mint_identity_sbid(ctx: Context<MintSBID>, user: Pubkey, metadata: String) -> ProgramResult {
    let sbid = &mut ctx.accounts.sbid;
    sbid.owner = user;
    sbid.metadata = metadata;
    Ok(())
}

2️⃣ Community Creation & Governance Contract

Manages the creation, verification, and governance of communities on SocialBlock.

Key Features: ✔ Community domain minting (as NFTs) – Every verified community gets a unique NFT domain. ✔ $SBT staking for verification – Communities must stake $SBT to unlock premium features. ✔ Governance voting – Token-holding members can vote on proposals for community upgrades.

Example Function (Community Minting):

rust

pub fn create_community(ctx: Context<CreateCommunity>, name: String, creator: Pubkey) -> ProgramResult {
    let community = &mut ctx.accounts.community;
    community.name = name;
    community.owner = creator;
    Ok(())
}

3️⃣ Live Chatroom Contract

Powers decentralized, on-chain chatrooms on any URL, enabling token-gated and real-time discussions.

Key Features: ✔ Chatroom creation & access control – Users must hold specific tokens/$SBT to chat. ✔ Message signing & timestamping – Ensures chat integrity and prevents spam. ✔ Tokenized moderation – Community mods can enforce chat rules via smart contracts.

Example Function (Posting a Message):

rust

pub fn post_message(ctx: Context<PostMessage>, user: Pubkey, message: String) -> ProgramResult {
    let chatroom = &mut ctx.accounts.chatroom;
    chatroom.messages.push((user, message));
    Ok(())
}

---

4️⃣ Social Tasks & Rewards Contract

Enables automated social tasks and reward distribution for users completing on-chain activities.

Key Features: ✔ Task verification – Ensures users complete actions like retweeting, engaging, or staking tokens. ✔ Reward distribution – Sends $SBT tokens or NFTs upon task completion. ✔ Fraud prevention – Prevents Sybil attacks using Web3 ID verification.

Example Function (Reward Distribution):

rust

pub fn distribute_rewards(ctx: Context<DistributeRewards>, user: Pubkey, amount: u64) -> ProgramResult {
    let rewards = &mut ctx.accounts.rewards;
    rewards.balances.insert(user, amount);
    Ok(())
}

---

5️⃣ Referral & Affiliate Program Contract

Handles tracking and distributing referral rewards for users who invite others to SocialBlock.

Key Features: ✔ Unique referral codes – Smart contracts generate on-chain referral links. ✔ Multi-tier commissions – Users earn rewards based on direct and indirect referrals. ✔ On-chain tracking – Eliminates fraud and ensures transparent payouts.

Example Function (Referral Tracking):

rust

pub fn track_referral(ctx: Context<TrackReferral>, referrer: Pubkey, referred: Pubkey) -> ProgramResult {
    let referrals = &mut ctx.accounts.referrals;
    referrals.entries.insert(referred, referrer);
    Ok(())
}
