Project Description
Engage and reward your community members with tokens and NFTs with an interactive quiz platform.
A DAO/Community focused application with an interactive platform like kahoot, with an option for the organizers to stake some tokens as the prize money and rewarding the active community members. The users also get NFT badges in addition to it, with its metadata showcasing activities like participation, achievements and consistency. The DAOs/Communities can use this to track their active members and also reward/whitelist them for the future.
Value
Community Engagement is broken in web3. Be it workshops, AMAs, project updates are being populated over social handles and left intact. There is no metric to gauge the quality audience who pay attention and actively learn about the the project. Most of the DAO tooling products in this category are built around the learn to earn reward model which is asynchronous and boring. With an interactive quiz game, we are planning to engage the audience in a more effective and fun manner.
We plan to approach the existing communities online, who are still using discord bots to conduct quizzes every week and collaborate with them. We are also looking to market our product at offline events, workshops and hackathons extensively and hope to cultivate a healthy habit among the audience to have these quiz games for every web3 event.
We plan to leverage IPFS, NFT.storage for storing the NFT badges of users which will be initially deployed on EVM/Polygon. But, We strongly believe that the newly launched Filecoin Virtual Machine has a lot to offer for the NFT ecosystem, especially in our project where we need to constantly update the NFT metadata based on user activity. Hence, we are actively learning about FVM and are planning to deploy our NFT Smart Contract on FVM as well.
Deliverables
As of now, We are in POC stage with a basic smart contract, DB design and a Community Dashboard. The deliverables are as follows:
Development Roadmap
Milestone 1: 5000$: 15 days (Building MVP)
Milestone 2: 15000$: 45 days (Live Quiz App)
Milestone 3: 15000$: 45 days (NFT Badges)
Milestone 4: 7500$: 25 days (Dashboards)
Total Budget Requested
The total budget is $42,500 and it will be used to cover working hours and allows for the development to be completed in 16 weeks.
Maintenance and Upgrade Plans
We will maintain the project for a long time, fix any bugs and make necessary tweaks upon user feedback.

Relevant Experience
We began our journey in web3 almost an year ago. Since then, We have been a part of 10+ hackathons in 2022, conducted by ETHGlobal, Devpost, Devfolio and Encode Club.
Both of our co-founders have Bachelors degree in Computer Science and worked in different organizations for 1+ years. Through these hackathons, We have developed significant understanding in Blockchain technology, Smart Contracts, NFTs and decentralized storage. We are passionate about web3 ecosystem and decided to go full-time on this project. We are thankful for the support shown by Filecoin community so far throughout our journey and we will actively contribute our part in taking the FVM ecosystem to the mainstream through our project.
