Submit Study Data

Participate in research studies by securely submitting your encrypted data and earning ETH rewards.

How This Works

Your data is encrypted on your device before being uploaded to a decentralized network. Only the researcher can decrypt and access your submission. This process ensures your privacy while enabling valuable research.

1

Upload Study GPG Key

Get the public GPG key from the researcher to encrypt your data

What this does: The GPG key acts like a digital lock. Your data will be encrypted (locked) using this key, and only the researcher with the matching private key can unlock and read your data.

Choose a GPG public key file (.asc, .gpg, .pub)
Next: The researcher should provide you with a .asc, .gpg, or .pub file containing their public key.
2

Check Irys Balance

Verify you have sufficient balance to store your encrypted data permanently

About Irys: Irys is a decentralized data storage network that ensures your encrypted data stays available forever. A small fee (usually under $0.01) covers permanent storage costs.

Connect your wallet to check Irys balance
Why needed: Storing data permanently on a decentralized network requires a small fee to cover infrastructure costs.
3

Enter Study Address

Provide the blockchain address where your encrypted data will be submitted

Important: This address identifies the specific research study on the blockchain. Double-check this address with the researcher - wrong address means your data will not reach the study.

Get this from: The researcher should provide this blockchain address when inviting you to participate.
4

Verify Study Encryption Key

Automatically verify the encryption key matches what is stored in the study contract

Security check: This step confirms that the GPG key you uploaded matches the one the researcher has registered for this study, ensuring your data will be encrypted correctly.

Waiting for contract to be available...

Please connect your wallet to continue.

This happens automatically once you connect your wallet and enter a valid study address.
5

Upload Your Data

Choose the data file you want to submit to the study

Your privacy protected: Your file is encrypted on your device before being uploaded. The raw data never leaves your computer unencrypted - only the researcher can decrypt it with their private key.

Info: waiting for public GPG encryption keys and or input file
File types: Any research data file (CSV, JSON, TXT, etc.). The researcher will specify what type of data they need.
6

Upload to Irys Network

Store your encrypted data permanently on the decentralized network

Final step: Your encrypted data is uploaded to Irys, a permanent decentralized storage network. You will receive a unique ID that proves your data was submitted and when.

Info: connected wallet/provider required
What happens: Your encrypted data gets uploaded and you receive a permanent storage receipt.
