User onboarding can make or break an app. Adding too much cognitive load during onboarding can lead to drop-off and harm retention. Not paying attention to account security can cause serious damage in the form of bot attacks and identity fraud. Most importantly, a lack of personalization during onboarding can make your app get lost among the competition.

Your challenge is to create an onboarding experience for an app that serves at least two distinct user bases: one of them should be individual consumers (B2C) and the other one should be business employees (B2B).

Your goal is to create frictionless, secure, and personalized onboarding journeys for distinct user bases for the same app. Consider the following aspects in your onboarding journey:

Which authentication methods to use for B2C vs B2B
What questions to ask (progressive profiling) for first-time B2C vs B2B users
What security controls to add (MFA) and when
What authorization controls (RBAC, ReBAC) to add for which stakeholder

Here are some examples to spark your creativity (your app can be anything you want and doesn’t have to be similar to the below examples):

An EdFinTech app that connects students, university admins, and loan officers. Students (B2C) can discover and apply to colleges and loans. University admins (B2B) can list their colleges and review student applications. Loan officers (B2B) can list their loans and review loan applications.
A shopping app that serves buyers, sellers, and logistics partners. Buyers (B2C) can browse and shop for products. Sellers (B2B) can set up their online storefronts and field orders. Logistics partners (B2B) can partner with sellers to list and fulfill shipping and delivery options.

2nd Place: 750
Contact: hackathon@chainlinklabs.com

Build an application or proof of concept that uses blockchain technology and Chainlink Functions as part of the tech stack. Using Chainlink Functions and a blockchain such as Ethereum, build an unhackable, censorship resistant, transparent and verifiable application.

You can use a blockchain such as Ethereum for backend logic, settling value or transferring ownersip of data or assets, then use Chainlink Functions to connect these on-chain programs (called smart contracts) to off-chain data, events and APIs.

Some ideas for inspiration:
- Censorship resistant news or world events aggregator
- Tokenized game asset marketplace that games can use as a third party game asset marketplace
- Developer/code platform where developers own their data and code, using Functions to store code off-chain in a database or cloud provider
- Artist royalty contracts done on-chain as smart contracts, with Chainlink Functions used to pull in streaming data to determine payouts
- Build any application that combines the superpowers of blockchain and AI, using Chainlink Functions to connect smart contracts to AI APIs, such as the OpenAI API
