Inspiration

Many web3 users grapple with the complexity of managing assets across multiple accounts and wallets. Current wallet systems often present a cumbersome and error-prone experience, leaving users uncertain about the movement of their digital assets between addresses.

What Flip does

Flip revolutionizes the web3 experience by streamlining transactions, ensuring a seamless interaction for users of various expertise levels.

Addressing Pain-points: Flip is designed to alleviate the significant hassle encountered by web3 users. It simplifies transactions, allowing swift and effortless interaction with applications and peers.

Enhanced User Experience: By providing an intuitive yet feature-rich interface, Flip eliminates the need for users to constantly search online for every step of the process. It offers a user-friendly environment, empowering newcomers and experienced users alike.

Optimized Interface: Unlike traditional wallets with cumbersome interfaces, Flip avoids clutter. It streamlines the process by reducing unnecessary clicks to create transactions, network changes, and RPC additions without confusing or overwhelming users.

Unified Account Access: Flip allows users to seamlessly send digital assets from any of their held accounts. It consolidates all accounts across supported blockchains into a simple interface. Through its distinctive wallet app and smart contracts, Flip empowers users to send tokens from multiple addresses, presenting a unified, streamlined solution.

How we built it

With examples from common web3 wallets, we identified key pain-points through the process of common use cases, namely: dealing with multiple secret-phrases, checking token balances across multiple accounts, how to send the sum of multiple accounts.

Challenges we ran into

Documentation was very clear but examples did not cover a range of common web3 libraries. Examples did not cover common implementations - like sending a transaction using an application. Did not cover the use cases of BnM/LnM tokens - they seem to be yet another wrapped asset. There are no diagrams on any of the tutorials - this makes it very difficult to have a clearer picture of what is happening on chain. With our persistence and hard work, we were able to overcome these hurdles.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of developing an app that makes web3 more accessible to users of all backgrounds. Browser wallets are the gateways to blockchain for most, breaking down the technical barrier to signing and sending transactions with a point-and-click experience. Our team wanted to take that experience to the next level. Flip is borne out of our own experiences with modern wallets, drawing inspiration from the friction dealing with networks, keys, addresses and the tokens they hold. – value to new and tech savvy users. Seeing our vision come to life and witnessing the transactions go cross chain with Chainlink CCIP was a moment of huge pride.

What we learned

Building Flip was an incredible learning journey for us, especially as this was our inaugural hackathon experience. The hackathon was an amazing platform for us to experiment with the many products Chainlink has to offer, and how they can work together to break-down barriers in a multi-chain ecosystem. As active users of current web3 wallets and familiar peer-to-peer web2 apps like Venmo and CashApp, we honed-in on the qualities that make a user interface valuable, and how that translates to a rewarding user experience. This research served as a strong foundation for designing a wallet that caters to users of all technical backgrounds. We set out to emulate that web2 experience in a web3 domain.
