DaoFundMe

Decentralized Funding for Your Cause

Comment

Overview

With the recent boom in blockchain technology, we were inspired to build a bridge between cryptocurrency and philanthropy. There weren't any popular crowdfunding resources that allowed cryptocurrency transaction, so we decided to try and make that a reality.

We provide a platform that allows people to raise funds for your local community utilizing Web3 Technology. With the DeSo API, you'll be able to donate funds to fundraisers using decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). This revolutionary technology allows you to donate to your local community without the need for a middleman.

Building the App

We built DaoFundMe as an inspiration from other crowdfunding platforms, such as GoFundMe. The technologies we used included the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack, as well as DeSo API, Auth0 for authentication, and Docker and Heroku for deployment.

This was the first time our team ever dealt with Web3 technology, so we had to learn it from scratch. It was an awesome experience to work with such emerging technology, and there were many resources provided by MLH and other creators that guided us through the integration process of the DeSo API.

What's next for DaoFundMe

For the future, we envision our web application to serve as a crowdfunding resource that expands to people worldwide. We wish to scale our web application so that it can extend to many users that wish to use our platform. We want to also incorporate other cryptocurrency donation options, and integrate their APIs properly within our web application. We also wish to improve our user interface/design so that it's more user friendly.
