TL;DR
- Fileverse introduced dSheets, a decentralized spreadsheet that lets users create and manage documents with onchain interaction and no intermediaries.
- The tool supports smart contract queries, transaction submissions, and connections to platforms like Farcaster, Dune, and other protocols via API.
- dSheets secures data with end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge authentication, without storing user information on external servers.
Fileverse, a startup focused on Ethereum-based productivity tools, launched dSheets, a decentralized spreadsheet built to offer a private, intermediary-free alternative to services like Google Sheets and Excel.
The application allows users to create, edit, and manage documents in real time, retaining all the basic functions of a conventional spreadsheet, while adding the ability to interact directly with blockchain data and protocols.
What Sets dSheets Apart?
Unlike traditional options, dSheets enables users to query smart contracts, send transactions, and extract onchain information. It also lets users import data from decentralized platforms like Farcaster or analytics services such as Dune. Additionally, Fileverse’s system supports integrating personal API keys to operate with other protocols without intermediaries. The application runs on Ethereum, Base L2, and Gnosis Chain, with the option to store databases on IPFS for those who want to share them publicly.
Access is simple. Any user can create a document by typing dsheets.new into their browser — a feature also available for dDocs, the decentralized text editor from the same company. Fileverse highlights that for decades, spreadsheets have been dominated by a duopoly of closed, proprietary software, limiting options for those seeking privacy and control over their data. This new project seeks to change that dynamic.
Fileverse: End-to-End Encryption and ZKP
The system protects information with end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge proof-based authentication. This allows users to collaborate privately without exposing personal data to external servers. No information is stored by the protocol, ensuring confidentiality in every operation.
Currently, dSheets is in its initial version, but Fileverse confirmed it will receive weekly updates and is actively collecting user feedback to refine the tool. The project is backed financially by Gnosis Chain and venture capital firm Factor, which led a $1.5 million pre-seed round in 2023.
With this initiative, Fileverse aims to modernize data management in decentralized ecosystems, integrating financial and collaborative functions into infrastructure designed to operate without intermediaries, with a focus on privacy and practical blockchain utility
