Inspiration

Our team has been involved with social endeavors before, so we brought together our drive for social change and our drive to develop for Celo's blockchain to create beNFT, a platform that connects NGOs and philanthropic organizations with people that want to contribute.

What it does

In beNFT, contributors can buy NFTs on our marketplace from organizations' fundraising campaigns. In turn, organizations can hire our NFT production service, through which we'll design a complete and personalized NFT collection for their campaign. On top of that, organizations will receive profit over future resells, making the collections interesting as a means of investment. The organizations have a dedicated dashboard to keep up with their campaigns and funds raised. For those looking to contribute, the NFT sales happen in a quick and uncomplicated fashion through Celo's blockchain.

How we built it

  • Raised our certainties, suppositions and doubts about the challenge.
  • Conducted desk research (using Notion as our organization tool)
  • Listed the pains we wanted to solve for ONGs and philanthropic organizations
  • Defined our features
  • Structured our use cases
  • Constructed the high fidelity prototype (in Figma)
  • Planned the business model
  • Implemented the app (front-end + Celo integration)

  • First time developing a mobile-first web app

Accomplishments that we're proud of

What we learned

  • Celo's purpose as a company/blockchain

What's next for beNFT

  • MKT campaigns to bring contributors and NFT collectors to the platform
  • Continue dApp implementation
  • Implement the web dashboard for organizations
  • Usability and UX testing
