Inspiration
There are many unpopular sports in India whose players are unrecognized or rather underrated. The players of these sports like chess, football, table-tennis keep working hard but still do not get the recognition they deserve. What if we can help them by connecting their abilities with new-age tech?
What it does
In order to bring in more recognition and to make such things mainstream, we are taking some important moments from the games played by players/teams and take certain moments and make NFTs of those situations. For example: Let us take a chess game, between 2 players, we will capture some moments and put them up for voting on the marketplace. Common users like us can compete to vote for the best NFT in an auction from where users can put bids on the various available NFT's and the highest bidder will own that NFT.
Not just this, we are also planning to have an AR integration of the purchased NFT. Since NFT's are digital assets, we are providing an almost real world experience of the owned NFT.
Augmented Reality being used to give a virtual experience of a Non-Fungible Token in our preferred surroundings. This feature is similar to preview for products in an e commerce store, but has not been tried before with blockchain.
How we built it
A common user will be able to:
- View list of Assets created
- Buy an asset
- Augmented Reality experience of the owned asset
- View LeaderBoard and points
On the admin side we will be able to:
- Create an asset
- View LeaderBoard and give rewards
Challenges we ran into
- Integrating the smart contracts with the frontend
- AR view of the owned digital asset
- Setting up metamask
- Connecting metamask to localhost
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Coming up with a project in such a short duration which actually solves a specific problem is something we are extremely proud of. It gives a chance for the under rated sports to develop and thereby influence this and the coming generations to pursue the sport.
What we learned
- Learnt the underlying principle of Blockchain Technology
- Building smart contracts
- Linking the smart contracts with a frontend application
- Setting up metamask wallet and using it for transactions
In addition to the above mentioned, we plan to make this an industry ready project by learning further and implementing this on a large scale.
What's next for NFTZen
- A virtual reality based auction where users can experience a meta verse like auction(Auction in the future)
- Collaboration with upcoming blockchain companies such as Polygon and CoinDCX who are working actively to uplift the development of underrated players and sports.
- A decentralized autonomous organization(which is the talk of the town), where everyone will have a say in the growth of the organization.
