  4. Building new Web3 UI and dApps tailored for African users using Biconomy SDK

  5. Using the Ethereum to Solve Local Problems (with short presentations from local Web3 founders building solutions for the local market)

Requirements

What to Build

Build and deploy a decentralized application on Ethereum mainnet that use Account Abstraction to offer

- easy account setup using Social Login

- ensure gas flexibility using Gasless Transactions / allows users to pay for gas using another ERC-20 token e.g. USDT or USDC 

- an easy on-ramp option using Paymasters 

- account customizations on Smart Accounts or - bundled transactions 

 

What we are looking at

  • Tech implementation: Its on Ethereum Mainnet, it does what it suppose to, and the repo is open to review;
  • Quality and novelty of an idea;
  • Potential of growth within the local market e.g. it can thrive in the Web3 ecosystem after the hack is over;
