Erstwhile Heroes Fund Raiser is a platform for specific artists to create art pieces and make it available as NFT. The platform and artists agree on a set of expectations bounded by the NFT contact.
Inspiration: In a world full of change and uncertainty, there are a few heroes who found the courage to stick to their passion and make the world a better place. Although these erstwhile heroes might find it tough to get along the world of mobiles and internet, they have remained committed to their promise to spread joy. And with the help of web3.0, we at 'Erstwhile Heroes Inc' support the journey of these heroes.
What it does : We list NFTs created by artists who would like to offer their art pieces to their fans, along with a promise to offer their artwork to the bidders. Artists can mint NFTs out of their digital artwork and list for their fans at a reasonable price and commit to a physical event. Supportive fans can purchase these NFTs and acquire the rights to the NFTs as well as a ticket to the physical event. Fans can decide a percentage of amount to be paid upfront and stagger the remaining amount during the physical event.
How we built it: Moralis backed UI provides all the capabilities such as adding a Hero, add a NFT, Enlist in NFT, Transaction details and currently owned collections. Chainlink-mix boilerplate code is used to build smart contract for Solidity, build, test and deploy (brownie). Chainlink keepers are used to trigger NFT minting process by checking the interval of NFTs(ex: 24 hours NFTs). Chainlink VRF is used to pick bidders if offered NFT quantity is less than number of bidders.
Challenges we ran into: Debugging Solidity code is really hard. At times, getting ETH was challenging.
Accomplishments that we're proud of: Learning so much in less than 2 months and implementing a fully functional application is really heartening. It has been several years we haven't done coding. Really proud to submit a project.
What we learned: Solidity, python, JavaScript, react and the whole world of blockchain in about 2 months. Special thanks to Patrick from chainlink. All his code along are very well organized and simple to understand. Moralis has made development much easy with their SDK and tools.
What's next for Erstwhile Heroes Fund Raiser: Given that there is a physical aspect to NFT sold in this project, we would like to expand the current single organizer model to multi-organizer model so that the tool can be scaled up across countries. We need to come up with a strategy on revenue generating model for organizers as well.
