Byzantine

A platform to vote on abstract ideas, built on the Solana ecosystem.

byzantine

A voting platform that doesn't make sense.

Inspiration

We picked the name Byzantine because of the Byzantine Generals Problem, and thought it fit well for what we were going for

What it does

Byzantine works by holding rounds, and you vote for one of the two abstract choices presented to you. There is no right answer, the only thing that matters is if you are in the majority. The losers' tokens are distributed among the winners.

How we built it

  • We used the Anchor framework and Rust to write our on-chain Solana programs, and our front-end code is written in Next.js and React

Challenges we ran into

  • Managing our time well
  • Figuring out the Solana ecosystem and Anchor

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Ayush made some really cool whiteboard art
  • Alvin wrote a few simple Solana programs

What we learned

  • How Solana programs work
  • The Anchor framework

What's next for Byzantine

  • We'd love to finish working on our project, and add some cool new features like minting NFTs, and adding some more fun minigames
