Tokens For Good

Inspiration

We were inspired by the creative and innovative designs of NFTs and recognized the potential of turning them into collectibles that can be used to support a good cause.

What it does

Our project gives people who donate to charity an NFT. This gives people the novelty of possessing limited-time collectables and a sense of pride knowing they supported a good cause, increasing the incentive to donate.

How we built it

Frontend: React.js + Chakra UI
Blockchain Backend: DeSo Utility Library
Authentication: DeSo Login

Challenges we ran into

We realized that there was a flaw on our first project and we had to start from scratch. Then a thunderstorm caused an electrical outage, shutting down our internet. Finally, our main back end coder had an emergency and did not send the github repository, meaning we had to start from scratch again.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that despite all of our unexpected hurdles, we managed to learn DeSo, a whole new concept that none of us had seen beforehand. We brainstormed, coded, and almost finished a new project. Unfortunately, we ran into a few towards the end of the code. Nonetheless, we are proud of how far we have come within the span of a few hours.

What we learned

We learned how to utilize React to create an interactive front-end web page. More specifically functions, classes, components, hooks, and a variety of React applications. We have learned all about the risks and benefits of blockchains and all about DeSo, as well as implementing DeSo to React to create a decentralized social blockchain.
