  Bearcat Coin

Inspiration

Bearcat Coin was inspired by other crypto tokens like DAI and USDT. Bearcat Coin would be the UC native currency.

What it does

Bearcat Coin is a currency just like USD except it is secured by the Ethereum blockchain. Students will be able to send and receive Bearcat Coin around campus and to other students.

How we built it

We built Bearcat Coin on top of the Ethereum blockchain on the Rinkeby Testnet. We also built a website for easy signup and onboarding. We also made a server to authenticate if a potential user is a UC student.

Challenges we ran into

We initially wanted to use the Hedera Network but we found it difficult to use their blockchain and APIs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully deploying a token to the Ethereum Blockchain.

What we learned

We learned about smart contracts, frontend development, and web3 technologies

What's next for Bearcat Coin

We hope that the university adopts bearcat coin and we can then deploy Bearcat Coin to a network like Ethereum Mainnet or the Polygon network.
