FAQ: Sending MATIC from an Exchange to the Polygon Network w/o the bridge (Nominal Gas Fee)

trainfarb commented 2 years ago

Proposal (For Review) - Matic to Polygon Bridge Alternative (FAQ)

Mission:

Challenge: Getting MATIC tokens from an exchange onto the Polygon Network is really confusing. Traditional bridge is expensive for first timers.
Biomimicry: How do synapses transmit information across different sections of our neural network?
Goal: Create FAQ section for how purchase MATIC on Okcoin and send to [WALLET] to mint Horsemen tokens

Roadmap:

Create documentation for walkthrough in GitHub
- Set up Okcoin
- purchase MATIC (wait X amount of days)
- download EF promoted wallet
- add polygon network to the downloaded wallet
- transfer MATIC to the wallet
- connect wallet to minting dApp
- purchase Free Horsemen Intro NFT (see below)
- done
Discuss where else documentation gets shared:
- Gitbook?
- Notion?
- Medium?
- Substack?
Free to mint polygon NFT for people who complete the walkthrough
- EF Designed Stamps that introduce the different characters
- Or Jiba can do a quick/sketched comic strip for the diff characters guiding people from web3 into into the Horsemen web3 universe with EF Learning Lab documentation.

Deliverables:

Learning Engine Case Study as a summary
Matic to Polygon Tutorial NFT
URL for completed documentation
- GitHub
- Notion
- Medium?
- Substack?
Share completed documentation to the network
- Discord
- Twitter
- Instagram?
- Medium?
- Substack?

"Free to mint polygon NFT for people who complete the walkthrough" - I love this! Kind of like proof-of-view?

trainfarb commented 2 years ago

Yea! If they follow the tutorial and can purchase the free NFT with some MATIC gas it'll prove they learned something new and upgraded their powers. Maybe whichever one of the Horsemen that's most welcoming is infusing their powers in the people who complete this tutorial. Could use EF Stamps like learning badges and a way to track engagement/views.

This is great. We can spin up a learning management system that will allow people to take courses, view lessons, and take tests. I know of a few on WordPress, but do you know of any we could use for this?

matharchod commented 2 years ago

I also like the biomimicry approach. It's different, but it's also anti-fragile, which is RAD. This is another aspect of our approach that differentiates us from the crowd.

trainfarb commented 2 years ago

That all sounds awesome! I know nothing about learning management systems, so that's all way over my head. Would be so cool to have those kinds of metrics.

I'll get to work on the actual thing you asked me to do in the first place haha (the steps to go from exchange to minting). At this stage I was thinking about keeping it simple and just putting documentation here on GitHub (or GitBook/Notion?), and one of the steps in the documentation would take them to the free minting dApp. If people actually mint some free NFTs and proceed to mint horsemen NFTs we'll know we're onto something.

I'll start working on the steps tomorrow, and I'll keep you posted! Do you have a preferred Wallet that EF will recommend people sent their MATIC to now that wallet connect is set up??

matharchod commented 2 years ago

Hmmm… I have some Unstoppable Domains that we could dust off for this project. I’ll check into that today!

matharchod commented 2 years ago

I've found a UI pattern we can follow for this experience. It would be great if we could keep them in the minting experience without sending them to an LMS.

trainfarb commented 2 years ago

Wow this is great! So this is the decentraland app??? Also what does LMS stand for?

matharchod commented 2 years ago

This is an app made by one of the members of our Teams group. Decentral Games is basically all about playing poker in the metaverse. Thing is, you can stake NFTs to players in the game for passive income. Cool, right? Anyway, LMS stands for Learning Management System. They’re kind of like stand alone websites for taking classes, completing courses, taking quizzes and tests. Scores, grades, and progress reports are output from the system for instructors and administrators to evaluate results. All-in-all, that’s probably too much for what we’re trying to do - lol

trainfarb commented 2 years ago

That's such a cool concept, and yea amazing flow. So cool that's someone in the group. Is their code open source??? We might be able to easily adapt it for this.

Ah okay cool yea probably soon for LMS but I'll definitely be looking into them more. Thanks for clarifying!
