User-Centric Design and Functionality: Projects should prioritize the development of applications that offer exceptional user experience, accessibility, and practical utility in the Web3 space. The goal is to make tech easy and beneficial for everyday users, bridging the gap between complex innovations and their practical application.
Shy aims to improve the Web3 user experience by reducing the reliance on Web3 wallets through an in-browser cryptography tool, emphasizing ease-of-use and potentially enhancing the practical utility for everyday users. By allowing users to attest to their data once and reducing the complexity of repeated wallet interactions, the project aligns with the criterion's emphasis on exceptional user experience and accessibility.
Innovation in Application Use Cases: Projects should explore and implement new and novel use cases for applications within the Web3 sphere. We're interested in projects that push the boundaries of what's possible, showcasing the versatility and expansive potential of Web3 technologies to address a wide range of needs and opportunities.
Shy provides an innovative utility by being an anonymous discussion forum where crypto holders can prove assets without revealing sensitive information, which addresses the need for credible sources within crypto discussions. This concept of verifying an author's past credentials via assets or behaviors on the ledger is a novel use case in the Web3 sphere that could potentially transform how trust and credibility are built in online communities.
