Revolte - An interactive novel to onboard Web2 users to Web3

An interactive novel to onboard Web2 users to Web3

Comment 2

Inspiration

With Irruption Lab (https://www.irruptionlab.com/), we are building applications for web3 democratization, and the Revolte project is part of it. We have already created several projects, and the feedback from the newcomers was always the same: Why do I need to install a wallet? What is a transaction? Why do I need gas? Why do I need to sign/approve messages all the time? Why can't I log in with email and password like everywhere else? What are the real use cases of the technology? Blockchain, you mean Bitcoin?

Something is missing ! Without easy/fun Web3 on-ramp, a mass adoption is utopian. With our adventure game Revolte, we are trying to help people get into web3 without scaring them off with all the complicated technical stuff.

Inspirations: Cryptozombie (https://cryptozombies.io/) to learn Solidity langage, and Ethereumhacker (https://ethereumhacker.com/) to learn about smart contracts vulnerabilities.

What it does

Join the Web3 revolution with Revolte!

Our adventure game introduces users to the world of blockchain, wallets, tokens, and more, with mandatory tasks like wallet installation to guide players through the story. Explore real Web3 applications and experience the potential of this transformative technology.

How we built it

With this adventure game we’re trying to help people get into web3 without scaring them off with all the complicated technical stuff.

Simply follow the adventure, no additional instruction is required. Each chapter has different objectives, as described below, to enter smoothly into Web3 and into our world...

  • Chapter 1 is live! It leads to the installation of the wallet for the newcomers. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the story and make the world we’ve created feel more real and interesting.

  • Chapter 2: this one is for the users to experiment (on the testnet) the basics of web3, like making a transaction, swap, using a bridge, nft…This chapter (split in several episodes) will be developed from March to April 2023. Some episodes have already been released.

  • Chapter 3 (on the mainnet). This chapter will be dedicated to showcase existing protocols and integrate them in our story. Users will have to interact with those protocols, as if it was part of the story, to continue the adventure. This chapter will start from May 2023. The number of episodes is not limited (one protocol per episode will be showcased).

Challenges we ran into

Building a captivating adventure. Keeping the project agnostic.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First feedback are really positive. We are filling a gap for the onboarding a new users, that was not existing until now.

What we learned
