How does EPNS work?

For Dapps:

• Any web3 service or Dapp that wants to send notification they have to create a channel on the EPNS dApp - a channel is what a user subscribes to for recieiving notifications. The process of creating a channel is like a No-code tool, the Dapp creates a channel and enters all the details (alias network, short description, link to dapp, alias address, etc). After creating a channel, the Dapp will go through the steps to implement the backend SDK so they can tailor notifications according to their preference and strategy.
  • Channel owners can send notifications to subscribers or delegate particular wallet addresses to send notifications on behalf of the channel
• Dapps can send
  • broadcast notification
    • general message to all wallet adresses
  • targeted notifications
    • notifications to a specific wallet
  • subset notifications
    • notification to a group of wallets

For Users:

• If a user wants to recieve notifications from a Dapp - they have to log into the EPNS dapp and manually opt in to Dapps that they want notifications from
