ContentView System

Overview​

ContentView is an integrated view tracking system for all content types, enabling users to access content without gas fees through Sponsored Transactions.

Key Features​

1. Zero Gas Fee​

  • Platform pays gas fees on behalf of users
  • Users access content completely free
  • Removes entry barriers for mass adoption

2. Integrated Tracking System​

  • Unified management for all content types (articles, projects, quizzes)
  • Consistent reward system
  • Efficient data aggregation

System Architecture​

ContentView Structure​

struct ContentView has key, store {
    id: UID,
    content_id: ID,
    content_type: u8,  // 1: Article, 2: Project, 3: Quiz
    viewer: address,
    epoch: u64,
    timestamp: u64,
    collection_context: Option<ID>
}

struct ContentViewSponsor has key {
    id: UID,
    gas_pool: Balance<SUI>,
    sponsored_views_count: u64,
    min_gas_threshold: u64
}

Epoch-based Aggregation​

Automatic Aggregation Process​

  1. Real-time Recording: Each view is recorded as a ContentView object
  2. Epoch End: Aggregation after a set period (e.g., 24 hours)
  3. Reward Calculation: Creator rewards calculated based on view count
  4. Storage Recovery: Gas recovery through ContentView object deletion

Aggregation Function​

public fun aggregate_epoch_views(
    epoch: u64,
    content_views: vector<ContentView>,
    reward_config: &ViewRewardConfig
) {
    // 1. Aggregate views per content
    // 2. Calculate rewards
    // 3. Distribute to creators
    // 4. Delete ContentView objects (storage recovery)
}

Economic Impact​

ItemCost (gas units)
ContentView Creation1,000
Storage Recovery-800
Net Operating Cost200
Creator Reward300-500
Platform Margin100-300

Sustainability​

  • Automatic Scaling: Auto-expansion with usage growth
  • Cost Optimization: Gas cost reduction through batch processing
  • Revenue Sharing: Transparent creator reward system

Collection Context​

Viewing Through Collections​

Additional context recording when viewing content within a Collection:

// View content within Collection
public fun view_content_in_collection(
    content_id: ID,
    collection_id: ID,
    viewer: address
) {
    let view = ContentView {
        content_id,
        collection_context: option::some(collection_id),
        // ...
    };
}

Privacy Protection​
