PAT3NT

Inspiration

After taking building multiple cool projects and unique ideas, we were finding it difficult to find a platform which could tale our ideas and projects to the next level. Inspired by this, we came of a project to develop a platform which allows the BUIDLers to keep motivated in their projects.

What it does

It is a NFT Based Patent system, in which users can create 3D NFT Cards for their ideas and increase the price of the NFT based on the progress and achievements achieved. Users can make offers to an idea that they would love to build further. For each offer made, the owner of the idea can accept and transfer the ownership or reject the offer and keep the building on the idea.

Problems

No place to find new innovations happening
Hard to track progression
Multiple half developed projects
No place for progression based ranking

Solution

NFT based Idea Patent System
Variable price based on progression
New revenue source
Community showcase problem
A launchpad for in development projects
Skill exposure to investors

How we built it

Unity (3D NFT generation)
Next.JS (Frontend development)
tronweb3 (Blockchain integration)
tronide/Solidity (Smart Contract Developement)
Figma (UI Designing)

Challenges we ran into

Using the TRC721 token was one of the challenges when building the smart contract. There were not enough resources available, but we were finally able to implement that.

Implementing Unity WebGL was one of the most complex tasks as well, but it was quite a great learning experience.
