Solana Word Wave Project Story

Inspiration

The idea sparked from the desire to create a system to reward people for good behavior. We envisioned a project that could make learning fun and accessible while leveraging the efficiency of Solana's blockchain.

What it does

Users connect their Solana wallet, and choose an option between easy, medium, and hard difficulty options. Then they are given a problem to solve, and if done correctly are rewarded with tokens for their effort.

How we built it

The project started by looking at Solana libraries and creating a site where users are able to connect their wallet to the frontend. Then creating the three different difficulty modes for the game. OpenAI GPT 3.5 API. React was used for the frontend with the use of Chakra UI for formatting.

Challenges we ran into

Creating a new SPL token when user would execute the problem on the game. It is currently rewarding people with devnet SOL from the wallet that created the contract.

What we learned

Utilizing blockchain tehcnology along with an app is a diffuclt process to perfect. None of us had prior experience with developing on blockchain and decentralized finance. This project was a good introduction in developing future, more complicated projects.

Future plans

Be able to mint own WordWave tokens when user completes the chosen game. Deploy the project to mainnet. Leaderboards for time based, and total completions of games.
