Experience Points

Experience Points officially deployed on Starknet's Sepolia blockchain

Inspiration

We were inspired by the potential pro-social uses of blockchain technology that have been discussed on podcasts by some of our favorite intellectuals. Starknet functions as a core scaleup solution to the Ethereum and as a team very interested in emerging applications of blockchain technology it demanded our attention.

What it does

Our project creates a fungible blockchain token (a cryptocurrency) called "Experience Points". This token can be built upon to extend its functionality in later projects. Our design intent is to use it as a voting token to help coordinate behavior through the writing of a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) set of smart contracts.

How we built it

We used the Cairo programming language to write and deploy a Smart Contract on the Starknet developer blockchain.

Challenges we ran into

The compiler for the local node didn't run on windows or my linux command prompt, so we shifted development to our single MacBook.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Designed a blockchain token that can be called by various other smart-contracts, like crypto-wallets and transactions.

What we learned

As beginner to intermediate programmers we learned the process of quickly learning a new programming language and development environment. As blockchain enthusiasts we learned about the design philosophy behind Starknets scaleup solution for Ethereum.

What's next for Experience Points

Integrate experience with a habit tracker to help gamify one's life. Utilize Experience Points as the central voting token of an investment/ charity DAO. Advance decentralized finance as a mechanism of human coordination.
