What it does 📚📚

  • Investing doesn't have to be that hard dammit hands is on a mission to democratize finance for all. We believe the financial system should be both to work for everyone. For young investors the app provides social proof for investment decisions with the social element so they can connect collaborate and develop financial literacy. All of this is done on an open source blockchain-based social media platform that allows young people to take back ownership of their social content. Imagine Reddit, Kickstarter, and Coinbase's as all-in-one mobile app? You can do this with a diamond which connects investors who seek and share trading information on social media platforms.

    • On the platform, users can post shorts from writings or investment advice with photos or memes and that in return the community can reward money and financial DESOs to post a particularly like by clicking on a diamond hand icon to buy and sell created coins they can also create a cell non-fungible token with creator coins. From DESOS sign.py module, we can generate a hash to sign the authorization transactions.

How we built it 👷‍♀️👷‍♀️

  • DeSo is a new layer-1 blockchain built from the ground up to scale decentralized social applications to one billion users and it Unlocks The Next Frontier for Blockchain DeSo was built from the ground up to scale one of the biggest untapped markets for blockchain: Social MediaOur frontend is built using the React.js framework.

  • We chose to use he DeSo blockchain to minimize costs, and we interact with DeSo using the framework Ethers.js and MetaMask. Lastly, we store our user data in MongoDB and interact with it through a REST API running over an ngrok tunnel.Sends the Post object Diamond Hands post to DESO and returns the formatted Diamond Hand post to the browser

Challenges we ran into 💻👷‍♀️

  • I did not know any Google Go nor Angular JS. Steep learning curve. However am familiar with Python
  • Browser-based IDE Replit instead of Visual Studio Code, no pip installs just import libraries
  • We have set up our Frontend, Backend, and Web3 Infra for our application to function on top of. We have all the DeSo infrastructure that would allow us to issue Diamond Hands.
  • We only need the capital to start issuing these NFT's as we had difficulty using the DeSo testnet.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Creativity Although using Diamond Hands has been mentioned before by Entrepreneurs like Gary Vee we realized that no big corporation has created a decentralized ticket NFT marketplace that could be used to issue tickets by organizers. Thus, we believe that our idea is authentic.

What we learned

What's next for Diamond Hands 👷‍♀️

  • Real-time trading stock posts similar to twitter by configuration on Uptimerobot.com, adding new monitor HTTPS, adding DESO URL.
