Challenge Description

A significant share of 36 mln advanced users with non-custodial wallets belongs to a vibrant crypto community. They use digital wallets every day, invest in DeFi protocols for personal finance, identify themselves with NFT avatars, and use DIDs and social graphs for connecting with like-minded frens. However, until recently there we no possibility to reach out to the crypto users having only their addresses. With the Ylide protocol, it has changed.

Ylide is a decentralized protocol for wallet-to-wallet communication that helps developers to create dApps to get crypto users connected having only their blockchain addresses. The protocol supports p2p messages, public and private mass distributions across Everscale, and other 15 EVM chains.

In this challenge we invite you to create a product based on Ylide SDK

Submission Requirements

A valid submission will include the source code via a GitHub repository linked to your Gitcoin submission, a recorded demo, a link to the live dApp (if any), and an article that explains how the application works. It is expected that most bounty challenges will be won by fully functioning submissions, however, in certain cases, where there is a higher degree of difficulty, projects and payouts will be assessed on the progress made.

The project submission deadline is Nov 28th.
