## TL;DR

This paper introduces a blockchain-based system for collaborative 3D modeling that enables decentralized version control and communication among users without relying on a central server.

## Contribution

It presents a novel blockchain-based approach for decentralized, server-less collaborative 3D modeling and version control.

## Key findings

- Decentralized mesh modification history stored on blockchain
- Users can commit and checkout modifications without central servers
- System enables collaborative modeling in a peer-to-peer manner

## Abstract

We propose a collaborative 3D modeling system, which is based on the blockchain technology. Our approach uses the blockchain to communicate with modeling tools and to provide them a decentralized database of the mesh modification history. This approach also provides a server-less version control system: users can commit their modifications to the blockchain and checkout others' modifications from the blockchain. As a result, our system enables users to do collaborative modeling without any central server.
