Inspiration

The idea for Yeet Finance emerged from a desire to create a truly accessible and fair launchpad for meme coins. The meme coin space is often overshadowed by rapid market fluctuations and risky investments, which can lead to financial losses for retail investors. We wanted to develop a platform that ensures fair access, leverages the best in cross-chain functionality, and provides tools to help protect users from potential scams.

What it does

Yeet Finance is a chain-abstracted launchpad specifically for meme coins, designed to level the playing field for investors. It uses aggregated launches, allowing fair access to projects across chains, and includes timed launches—a unique feature that prevents unfair advantages by scheduling access windows. With proposed AI-powered analytics, Yeet Finance aims to flag potential rug pulls by analyzing on-chain data patterns, providing investors with insights into project risk based on past scams and behavioral patterns.

How we built it

The platform is developed on the Aurora and Base chains, with both chains indexed and aggregated by the Envio indexer. Smart contracts manage launches and token distribution, with a faucet-driven fake WETH asset on testnet to facilitate trading. We encountered challenges with cross-chain compatibility, specifically around chain signatures, but we ensured compatibility with EVM tooling (like Viem) by creating a custom WalletClient that uses the MPC signer, hence near chain signatures.

Our tech stack includes Solidity for smart contracts, Python and TensorFlow (for future AI-powered analytics), and Nexts & Shadcn for the frontend interface. Foundry for contract development and Viem for contract interactions

Challenges we ran into

Some key challenges included managing cross-chain compatibility and handling chain signatures. Developing a custom WalletClient with the MPC signer allowed us to integrate smoothly with Viem and other familiar EVM tools. Additionally, we had to carefully balance transaction speed and security across different chains while keeping gas fees low on Aurora.

Building the AI-based rug pull detection (a future integration) also presented unique challenges in designing models that minimize false positives and capture genuine risk indicators.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud to have developed a streamlined user interface for our launchpad that’s easy to navigate and accessible to new crypto investors. Integrating timed launches and the unique cross-chain compatibility are major milestones for us.

What we learned

Building Yeet Finance was an enlightening experience in cross-chain development. We deepened our understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within the Aurora and Base ecosystems.

What's next for Yeet Finance

The next steps involve:

Going live with the memecoin launchpad on Aurora Mainnet
Building our AI model to cater to a variety of fraud patterns and incorporating user feedback for platform improvement.
In the future, we aim to add more analytics tools for investors, as well as partnerships to extend Yeet Finance's reach across more blockchains.
