ETHGlobal Cannes - Helpify
Overview
One week before ETHGlobal Cannes, I discovered the event and noticed Ronin was offering bounties. Without hesitation, I booked a ticket to France and prepared for my first major hackathon.
The Challenge
Creating an innovative crowdfunding platform that would incentivize community participation and generosity while being built on the Ronin blockchain.
The Solution
Helpify - A crowdfunding platform with a twist: a gamified incentive layer (gamba) that rewards generosity. Anyone can create campaigns, the community decides what to build and pledges RON tokens, receiving Soul Bound Tokens (SBTs) in return. Daily testnet raffles reward supporters, enabling backers to share in the success.
Technologies Used
This hackathon marked a pivotal moment in my journey. Going solo to an international event and winning first place gave me confidence in my abilities and opened doors to new opportunities.
Helpify's innovative approach to crowdfunding through gamified incentives showcased how blockchain technology can make charitable giving more engaging and rewarding for participants.
Outcome
Won first place in the Best Consumer App on Ronin bounty category. The project successfully demonstrated how gamification can drive community engagement in crowdfunding, attracting genuine interest from the Ronin ecosystem.
