Inspiration

We strongly believe and seek personal freedom, self determination, and justice in our own lives and naturally resist systems of blind trust prone to corruption and undue control; and as such we find inspiration in the promises of blockchain technology to solve some of the most vexing problems in our society today such as crony capitalism through intermediation and empowerment of people to engage in commerce, peer-to-peer, without self serving third parties.

What it does

Peer-to-peer digital payment service powered on blockchain designed to help facilitate buyers and sellers in transactions with necessary escrow controls without the need for a central trusted third party.

How we built it

Ethereum, Solidity, IPFS, React

Challenges we ran into

Time

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working DApp enabling peer-to-peer payments with escrow controls enabled through a smart contract on the ethereum blockchain.

What we learned

We can do this.

What's next for BetterPay

  • Improve UX
  • Build out feature set
  • Get user validation

From UX perspective, abstract blockchain / crypto from user to make it as easy as venmo, use stable coin to make it denominated in USD, etc.
