BUILder is a social platform that runs on scroll, that lets anyone find builders to network and hack together at specific events across the globe.
The app solves 2 main problems:
- Data nowadays is self reported in most platforms.
- Not self-reported data is usually time consuming to acquire.
BUILder aggregates rich reputation data from onchain sources to make matches quick and verifiables, while providing a gamefied, smooth, and fun experience to the users.
Main features:
🔎 Discover Builders as if you are on Tinder: "Like or pass" builders based on similar interest. Complement eachother and Build winning hackathon teams.
💫 See real aggregaed data: Check each builder interests, skills, knowledge and more useful info to determine if it's worth networking with them.
🤝 Match gallery: Have a track of all your past matches for future events.
🔓 Secure Matching Mechanism: Get reefunded only after meeting IRL with builders. This is secured via a regenerative QR that builders need to scan.
💰 Rewards for winners: IF builders that matched via BUILder, win a prize at a hackathon, BUILder treasury will give them extra rewards on top.
-- HOW DOES INCENTIVE MECHANISM WORKS? --
All users that "likes" need to pay $5 to cast their likes, this is because we want to incentivise real connections.
All $ coming from likes between different builders will go to buildercontract.sol, an scrow that will save all the money income from builders.
Once 2 builders match, they will need to meet IRL to scan their QRs so the scrow will give them back all the money (-10% fee for BUILder).
If the 2 builders matched but didn't meet IRL before the event's due date, the 100% of the funds will remain on the protocol, meaning a total lose for the builders.
If builders match, make team for hackathon, and win prizes, they will get rewarded with an extra amount from BUILder treasury as a compensation.
Note: Due date event and know if a builder won a prize, is reviewed manually by BUILder team in collab with the evetn/hackathon teams thanks to our strategic partnerships.
