PAL Network Architecture

This section delves into the architecture of the Phygital Abstraction Layer (PAL), detailing its foundational components and processes.

The network built by PAL involves various actors interacting with physical objects embedded with NFC chips, enhanced through a phygital abstraction layer. Here's a brief overview of these participants:

Phygital Object Owners are individuals or entities that possess physical objects embedded with NFC chips. These owners can track and manage the digital aspects of their physical items through the PAL protocol, ensuring authenticity and ownership

Service Consumers are the end-users who interact with the phygital objects. They benefit from the enhanced experiences provided by the NFC chips, such as authentication, digital content access, and other services associated with the physical objects.

Phygital Entity Provider (PEP)

The party responsible for the issuing blind NFC chip which are delivered to the artist and creators who integrate them into physical objects. Phygital Entity Provider (PEP) mint NFC related chips in the PAL protocol so that chip owners can track thier possession and ownership from the third part factory to the end consumer.

Phygital Entity Agent (PEA)

The artist, creator or integrator that mints nfc chips against the physical things they are embedded in or attached to. A PEA is responsible for the scanning experience that a phygital object resolves to as well as a phygital experience for the end user.
