SolaCrypt flips the ransomware logic: the same AES-256 cipher that hijacks files in attacks is used here to protect and monetize content — with the key released by a wallet signature via ECDH, 100% non-custodial.
Ransomware hijacks your files and demands a ransom to return the key. SolaCrypt uses the exact same cryptographic primitive — AES-256, client-side encryption, and a key released upon a condition — but flips the script: the creator encrypts their own content, and the "ransom key" is released transparently and verifiably on-chain, not through extortion. It is the mechanics of an attack, repurposed as a digital ownership infrastructure.
Military-grade end-to-end AES-256 encryption architecture. 100% non-custodial protocol with exclusive owner control.
Three steps, each resolved in a different place: your browser, the Solana network, the buyer's wallet.
The file is sealed with AES-256-GCM in memory before touching any network.
Payment in SOL or USDC registers ownership on the Solana blockchain for a fraction of a cent.
The wallet derives an X25519 shared secret, allowing the file to be decrypted locally only by the buyer.
From Devnet prototype to an open decentralized DRM standard.
In-browser AES-256, Wallet Adapter, access control simulator.
Audited Anchor contracts, native SOL/USDC royalty payouts.
npm SDK, embeddable widgets, confidential data rooms.
Arweave, Shadow Drive, open encrypted asset marketplace.
SolaCrypt is designed to protect initial distribution and enforce cryptographic proof of on-chain ownership.
Like any client-side DRM, once the file is decrypted locally on the buyer's device, absolute control of the decrypted file passes to the user. The DRM cannot (and does not attempt to) block screenshots or secondary sharing of the opened content.
