Challenge Tracks
BNB Chain Challenge
- Make Telegram the Web3 gateway for BNB Chain
Objectives: Build a Telegram Mini App that allows users to seamlessly connect to the BNB Chain using their Telegram credentials, enabling secure and user-friendly access to decentralized applications and transactions without relying on external wallets.
Description: Make interacting with the BNB Chain as easy as sending a Telegram message, and design the tech that can persuade users to trust your app to deposit their assets.
- Telegram Authentication:
- Develop a secure and robust authentication flow using the Telegram API.
- Ensure user privacy and data security by minimizing data collection and implementing best practices for key management.
- BNB Chain Connection:
- Enable seamless interaction with the BNB Chain, allowing users to view balances, send/receive tokens, and interact with dApps.
- Abstract away the complexities of wallet management and private key storage.
- Gasless Transactions:
- Explore and implement solutions for gasless transactions, such as meta-transactions or account abstraction, to provide a smooth user experience.
- Clearly communicate the mechanics of gasless transactions to users.
- User Interface & Experience:
- Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface within the Telegram Mini App framework.
- Guide users through the authentication and transaction processes with clear instructions and helpful prompts.
- Build an Innovative Trading Aggregator
Objectives: The goal is to simplify the user experience on BNBChain by offering one-click bridging and trading capabilities. This will allow users to own and manage their assets across different chains while easily trading on BNBChain, ensuring the lowest fees, best prices, and additional services such as MEV protection. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance convenience and efficiency for all users within the BNBChain ecosystem.
Description: This trading aggregator will be expertly designed to streamline the trading experience by consolidating liquidity from multiple sources. By aggregating liquidity from various DEXs and perps, the trading aggregator ensures users get the best possible prices for their trades, minimizing slippage and price impact. Key features will include:
- Aggregator for DEXs and Perps: Aggregates liquidity from numerous sources to offer the best price routes, token selection, and user interface/experience.
- Cross-Chain Liquidity: Integrates with top cross-chain projects to provide the best prices and paths for different tokens and blockchains, ensuring that liquidity bridging into BNBChain can be traded easily with optimal prices and user experience.
- Building an Open-Source Real World Asset (RWA) Transaction Platform for Real Estate
Objectives:
- Enhance Transparency: Develop a platform that reduces the risk of corruption and fraud by providing transparent and traceable transaction histories accessible to all stakeholders.
- Increase Efficiency: Streamline the real estate transaction process, reducing the time and cost involved in buying, selling, and transferring property.
- Support Innovative Ownership Models: Enable fractional ownership, programmable property rights, and other innovative ownership models to make real estate more accessible.
Description: The core of the platform should be built on the BNBChain network to ensure secure, tamper-proof records of all property transactions. By digitizing property rights, the platform will provide an immutable record of ownership that is accessible and verifiable by all relevant parties, including buyers, sellers, agents, and legal professionals. This digitization will also reduce the potential for fraud and streamline the title verification process. Transparency is a key goal, achieved by recording every transaction on the blockchain, which is publicly accessible and traceable. This level of transparency helps build trust among users and reduces the risk of corruption, as all actions are visible and cannot be altered retroactively.
If you don’t see what you’re interested in here, that’s okay. You can also participate by following this wishlist, and your project will automatically be submitted to the Q4 online hackathon.
🚨 An onsite demo presentation will be held on the final day for the top 10 teams (subject to change based on the total number of submissions). Participation in the demo is mandatory for all top teams. Failure to participate will result in disqualification from the competition and automatic elimination from contention for one of the top 3 spots.
