Inspiration

We proudly present our groundbreaking decentralized social app that combines the best of both worlds - the seamless user experience of Web2 and the power of decentralization. Designed with the modern user in mind, our app reimagines social networking by empowering individuals to take control of their online presence and data privacy.

we bridge the familiarity gap for users transitioning from traditional Web2 platforms to a decentralized environment. With just a few clicks, users can log in to our app using their existing Google accounts, enjoying the convenience they're accustomed to while experiencing the benefits of decentralization.

Imagine a social app that puts you in the driver's seat, where you regain ownership of your personal data and regain control over your online interactions. Our app empowers you to connect and engage with friends, family, and communities, all while preserving your privacy and data security. No longer will your personal information be stored on centralized servers vulnerable to data breaches. Instead, your data is encrypted and distributed across a network of nodes, ensuring utmost security and transparency.

By embracing decentralization, we address the limitations of traditional social networking platforms. No more worries about algorithms curating your content or companies monetizing your personal information. Our app puts the power back into the hands of the users, allowing you to decide what content you see, who you connect with, and how your data is utilized.

Through our decentralized social app, we aim to inspire a new era of digital interactions where users have control, privacy, and security. We believe that by providing a familiar Web2 experience with the added benefits of decentralization, we can drive mass adoption of this transformative technology.

Join us on this incredible journey as we redefine social networking for the modern age. Together, let's build a more inclusive, transparent, and user-centric online community. Experience the future of social networking today, powered by the fusion of Web2 and decentralization

How we built it

Polybase

we used polybase as our apps database where every piece of data is stored, and is fetched and updated by user while interacting with the app. user data, posts comment chat all are collection in polybase.

lighthouse

used Lighthouse SDK to empower our app with encryption upload and share encrypted file with other user, this made user experience encrypted image sharing in our app.

Spheron

Web hosting and uploading post content to IPFS is done through Spheron, which make it easier to Pin and fetch Pinned content through dedicated gateway

Lit Protocol

user can sign up using google auth and he is minted a PKP which enable us to sign message on his behalf while interacting with other components in app, these sign actions are done through LitActions to make user experience as if he is using a web2 app

Challenges we ran into

it took time to understand different protocols and implement them in our app, and make them interact with eact other

What's next for Zapix

Zapix DAO where user can easily make storage deal for their data and also govern on existing data on our app, if in case any use post any explicit content
