Grant Application for Mapz Live

[nbelthan]

Project Abstract

Please provide a brief description of your project here summarising key points (1-2 paragraphs). Mapz.live is an innovative blockchain-integrated platform designed to enhance the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience through a community-driven approach. With a live MVP that facilitates EV charger discovery and reviews, we're expanding into Web3 with NFT-based navigation and user rewards. Our tech stack includes React, React Native, and Postgres, with test NFTs on Polygon Mumbai and plans for NEAR blockchain integration. Seeking a $45,000 grant, we aim to build out our NFT infrastructure on Mintbase in two phases, concluding with smart contract audits. Mapz.live is on a trajectory to become the Web3 'Waze' for EVs, with aspirations to extend globally and introduce advanced features that include parking solutions and media-enriched reviews.
