Inspiration
Currently more dogs are being adopted and shelters are being emptied as a result of lockdown and the need for companionship.
There needs to be a solution which will cater to the problems for pets and pet owners when we have the “new normal” and lockdown is over.
Product Objective The Product is to solve the following problems: Pet owners do not like to leave their pets at home unattended without care Pet Owners Need to Ensure that the pet companion/pet sitter is trustworthy Pet Owners find that current pet sitting alternatives are too expensive
What it does
We provide a decentralised, community based option to taking care of your pets. We do this by providing transparent trust worthy pet care givers with credentials and ratings locked in a smart contract through a block chain for transparency. Moreover, we provide a community Crypto currency token which is used to enhance the community and lower pet care giving fees.
How we built it
The Application is built on a MERN Stack (Mongo DB, Express Js, React JS, and Node JS),it integrates with a Solana based token and smart contract
Challenges we ran into
Knowledge gap in blockchain and token to app integration
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The idea is a 2nd Place Winner of the Innovation Challenge - The Future of Creative Spaces @ RMIT Activator.
During this hackathon we were a able to implement the bare bones MVP for the Idea.
What we learned
This hackathon delivered our team a wide variety of learning experiences including what solana is, how its runtime facilities work and the on-chain programs associated with it. We learnt about solana clusters and how validators come together for the processing of transactions. We were introduced to the creation and management of wallets including token generation via the spl token program. We also familiarised ourselves with Rust and Javascript (including the web3.js APIs) in relation to smart contracts hosted on the blockchain. These smart contracts were integrated into our web3 dapp to provide a new client user experience that acts as a third party negotiator.
What's next for DogeWalk
We will be interviewing users to see the appetite of the market for a decentralised block chain option and what would make them use a web 3 application. - From there we would decide next steps.
