BrandZilla

Inspiration

The inspiration behind this project came after reading everywhere that NFT doesn't have any real world linkage and to own a NFT you need crypto any many such questions …

To address such question I created BrandZilla.

BrandZilla aims to create a ecosystem consisting of Real world Brands and their digital NFTs along with users of the brands with a futuristic approach to become a platform merging social media and metaverse.

What it does

BrandZilla is built with a future vision of merging social media and metaverse, while you are roaming on streets of metaverse you and check out the profiles of users nearby what NFTs they posses and unlike social media now you know if they really own the physical product. For example on social media any one can post their pic wearing branded assets maybe hired from their friends or even its cheap copy which can be hardly verified. But on brandzilla you would be able to know, if they really own the real branded asset by checking their NFTs.

At current stage, the users need crypto to claim a NFT on Brandzilla but that can be avoided making use of gasless transaction and charging the brands for the gas fees which they can charge their customers when they pay for physical product in fiat.

How we built it

I used Metaverse Builder Powerhouse - Moralis for fetching the NFT details and setting the current state of the character. And the most important part that is bringing all different NFT collections by different brands from different blockchains was possible due to moralis. Which means the metaverse character can now wear a Nike Cap from NFT collection on Ethereum Blockchain, Adidas shoes from the one on Polygon, Gucci Bag from Avalanche and goggles or a belt from a collection deployed on Binance Smart Chain. Thanks to Moralis due to which this got possible. To check if the user is lucky enough to get exculsive NFT from Brandzilla collection the randomness was required which was facilitated by Chainlink VRF.

All the NFT metadata was hosted on IPFS using Filecoin's NFT.Storage's product NFT UP.

Challenges we ran into

The major challenge was to create a real metaverse in which multiple blockchain can participate Also to create the Metaverse world it took lot of efforts in creating the Map and character but here by UI UX and digital drawing skills got used.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am glad I was able to complete the project within time and build all the sections.

What we learned

This hackathon was a good learning experience for me as I got to learn more about blockchain and about Chainlink and Moralis and how to use them.

What's next for BrandZilla

There are some feature that I discussed in the presentation like merging social media i.e the scrolling world and metaverse i.e the roaming world. I would want to make it reality. Apart from this right now the Brands have to deploy our brand contract externally but creating a form for them so that they get a better UI while launching their NFT collection on BrandZilla.
