About This Episode
In this episode of DevNTell, Narb welcomes back Kai Huang, co-founder and CEO of Supercluster Labs. Kai introduces Supercluster's mission to provide decentralized collaboration and file-sharing tools for DAOs and decentralized teams, moving away from reliance on Web2 platforms. The core focus is on an access control layer that utilizes Web3 primitives—such as NFTs, ERC-20 tokens, and on-chain activity—to gate access to files and community resources. Kai demonstrates the current platform, showing how to create a file cluster gated by an NFT and how access dynamically updates based on wallet holdings. The discussion concludes with Supercluster's future plans to integrate with other DAO tooling platforms and even Web2 services like Notion and Google Drive, providing a universal Web3 user management layer.
Key Takeaways
Supercluster Labs is building a decentralized alternative to Web2 file-sharing platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox.
The platform's key feature is an access control layer that gates file access based on Web3 credentials (NFTs, tokens, ETH addresses).
Supercluster currently utilizes IPFS for storage but plans to allow users to choose from various decentralized storage providers like Arweave or Filebase.
Future development focuses on complex gating rules, such as requiring a minimum number of Snapshot votes or specific community badges (Otterspace).
The ultimate goal is to provide a universal user management layer that can be integrated into both Web3 DAO tools and existing Web2 workflows.
