🏆 0xHack Adoption Bounty: 💲1000 DAI - 2nd best crypto-newbie friendly app

pirtim commented 3 years ago

Say 'Hi 👋' to crypto newbies!

Meet 3 persons without any blockchain knowledge or experience:

Walter, 62, UK	🇬🇧
A mature man, not interested in new technologies, but not totally against them. Very attached to using his PC (uses a smartphone when he reeeaally needs to). He spotted an ad of your product and wants to give it a try.

Sung, 23, South Korea	🇰🇷
A philosophy student. She can't imagine a life without modern technology but has never tried anything related to crypto. She finally got convinced to try out your application by a fellow university student.

Ezinne, 35, Nigeria	🇳🇬
A mother of 2 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. She browses the internet using only a smartphone. She would only use a light, mobile application, to not waste the data usage and the phone battery. She was convinced to try your app by her husband.

All of them want to try out your product.

How did you got them interested?
How are you going to explain how to use the app and how it works?
How are you gonna keep them hooked?

The next wave of crypto adoption is going to be by people like them, but the crypto community first have to create products with unique value propositions and brilliant user experience.

Task

Design and create a proof of concept of a blockchain powered product targeted at crypto newbies.
Present your idea and reasoning behind technical&product decisions.

Pick one of three personas, and create something that would be useful for him or her.
You can (and probably should) use existing tools and services like: 3rd party wallets, fiat on-ramps, 2nd layer solutions, stable coins etc.
You can mock some of the non-key functionalities or external tools.

Guiding questions

What is the intended target demographic?
What problem are you solving for them?
How painful is their problem?
How many people are affected?
Why wouldn't they just use a non-blockchain alternative?
What is the proper technical stack for a newbie-friendly application?

Judging criteria

We are looking for a thoughtful product design, with best UX and UI.
Please focus not only on the writing code, but also on presentation, and explain your reasoning behind different product choices.
We are interested in how you’re going to glue together different pieces of crypto infrastructure in order to deliver an amazing product.

Prize bounty

Amount: 1000 DAI (≈1000 USD)
(there is also a bounty of 3000 DAI for the first place)

Submission deadline

May 31st, 11:00 CEST

Winner announcement date

Judging will take place at the end of the Hackathon on June 2nd.

Additional considerations

A business plan is not strictly necessary, though financially sound proposals will score more points.
- If you plan to financially incentivize users to use your app (eg. sign-up bonus), you have to explain the source of funds and monetization scheme.
The proof of concept itself doesn't have to have all the working features, but the MVP has to be achievable and creatable by committed product team in less than 12 month (without rocket scientists onboard 😉).

elphex is a fun game inspired by the “White Elephant game”. The game allows players to offer an ERC20 token of their choice as a gift to another random player as well as receiving a mystery gift, the fun part of this game is that any player can choose any ERC20 token from their wallet and the organizer can even set a minimum or maximum value for the gifts, calculated at the moment of sending it. All ERC20 winnings from the White Elephant game will be transferred securely back to your wallet at the end, who knows how high your winnings can go if you HODL! 4) mohinishteja has started work.
