Equestrium

Inspiration

The preliminary inspiration for this is horse racing. We think it would be fun to have a platform where you can race any NFT you own against other NFTs owned by other people

What it does

This web app allows you to load and enter any NFT you own into a rae with other people's NFTs. There is an entry fee and the winner collects all the pool as a reward for winning

How we built it

We built this using Solidity and typescript. We are using react and moralis as well. We plan to use Chainlink VRF to determine winning outcomes and we are going to use IPFS as we build out a 3D race model to store NFT marbles that will have an nft projecting of the users nft on it

Challenges we ran into

At first we wanted to do a horse racing app but then we found out this already existed on polygon and pivoted to create a platform to race already existing NFTs.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Learning how to use moralis has been really cool. Proud we have a basic frontend stood up

What we learned

Learning how to use moralis was really cool. It is a great tool that we are excited about. Also, really enjoyed the app building code alongs they are very helpful for us being really green to building frontends.

What's next for Equestrium

Continue to flesh out the ideas. Right now we need to build out a feature to display and select the NFTs you want to race then once this is finished we will start racing on the testnet. After that we will build out for Polygon and test a race on that chain. Then go back to Ethereum main net and test race there.
