Problem Statement: Networking at events can be challenging and inefficient. Attendees often meet numerous people but struggle to remember who’s who after the event. Additionally, brands and sponsors at booths have difficulty engaging attendees meaningfully and ensuring follow-ups.
Solution Overview: An apechain-based application designed for real-world web 3 events, such as conferences, conventions, and expos, focusing initially on the Web 3 community. This app aims to enhance networking, gamify interactions, and incentivize attendee engagement through crypto rewards in Apecoin.
Core Features
User Profiles:
Attendees create customizable profiles with their chosen information: name, email, company, position, phone/Telegram, social media links, bio, and photo.
Users decide what information to share, with privacy terms in place to protect personal data.
Contactless Networking:
Each attendee receives a unique QR code, accessible through the app or via an NFC-enabled badge or card distributed at events.
Scanning QR codes or tapping NFC badges saves contacts directly to each user’s app profile. Users can add notes or photos to help remember the interaction.
Gamified Engagement:
A leaderboard tracks attendee interactions, fostering a sense of competition.
Sponsors and event organizers can set challenges, such as visiting booths, downloading materials, or participating in activities, to earn points.
Points translate into rewards distributed in Apecoin, incentivizing deeper engagement.
Event-Specific Challenges & Rewards:
Event organizers pre-purchase Apecoin for rewards, ensuring prize availability.
Attendees connect their crypto wallets to receive rewards seamlessly or generate a wallet directly through the app for ease of use.
Blockchain Integration:
Built on Apechain, the app supports transactions in Apecoin, promoting its adoption.
Integrates with POAP (Proof of Attendance Protocol), allowing users to collect badges for their interactions and activities during events.
Event Organizers & Sponsor Tools:
A dashboard for creating and managing challenges, tracking engagement, and ensuring transparency in reward distribution.
Sponsors gain direct, gamified access to attendees and an opportunity to gather leads for follow-ups.
Key Differentiators
Focused on the Web 3 community with seamless blockchain and crypto integrations.
Combines networking with gamification, creating a more engaging event experience.
Enables tangible rewards (Apecoin) for attendee actions, unlike traditional networking apps like LinkedIn or Swapcard.
