Develop a user-friendly, no-code platform to ease creation of customizable, decentralized websites for ENS domain holders, integrate Web3 features, and facilitate monetization through NFTs and fiat/crypto payments.

 A linktree alternative for the decentralized web. Your personal, censorship-resistant hub to showcase your unique identity and creations. With your own Web3 domain, you'll have complete control over your digital presence, free from centralized control. Effortlessly integrate your social profiles, portfolio, blog, NFTs, videos, podcasts, photos, calendar, and more, all on a single, customizable page.

Why it matters to ENS?

Total ENS domains registered? 2.8 million! How many websites live? 40k

A small percentage of ENS domain holders have set up their Web3Sites due to the complexity of the process. Those who have set up their sites often have very basic designs.

Creating a decentralized website for an ENS domain can be a complex process, requiring extensive research and technical understanding of concepts such as IPFS, CID, and ENS Content Hash. This can be especially challenging for non-technical users. Because of the above challenges very fewer users build websites for their ENS domains. To address this challenge, we have developed a product that simplifies the design, build, and publishing process for Web3Sites on ENS domains.

1W3 is committed to promoting the adoption of ENS and decentralized web technologies by making them more accessible and user-friendly to a wider audience.

What users can create using 1W3? Users will have the ability to create a diverse range of content. Some examples include:

link in bio ( Decentralised ENS linktree), Blogs, Personal Portfolio, Business websites, Resume, Sell domain landing page, More…

Previous Work:

Developed a No-code user-friendly interface for building decentralized websites on ENS domains.

Successfully implemented ENS integration into the 1W3 platform.

Integrated IPFS and IPNS to save gas fees for users.

Integration with ETH.limo enables every website published at 1W3 to be pinned as IPFS and IPNS data on their platform. This ensures fast and reliable access to ENS domain data, with multiple storage locations and a streamlined gateway to IPFS for improved speed and availability. Now your ENS website is blazing fast.

Improvements done post Gitcoin beta round?

Monetize your creativity by tokenizing website templates: Use our no-code platform to craft stunning web templates, and mint them as unique NFTs, With our template marketplace, Set the price and supply count for your unique creations, monetize your designs and earn from your creativity.

Arweave implementation: We have successfully integrated Arweave into our platform which enables users to build perma websites, assuring its unwavering presence without any possibility of downtime.

New Developments

Integration of Typeform and Deform: Users now have the capability to incorporate interactive forms directly within their decentralized websites. We've integrated with platforms like Typeform for a seamless user experience, as well as with deform.cc, which is a dedicated decentralized platform for form building, ensuring that your website remains fully in the spirit of decentralization.

PayPal integration: We've taken a significant step forward by integrating PayPal into our platform, enabling users to offer their services and receive payments in fiat currency directly through their decentralized websites. Moreover, we are actively developing a suite of tools designed to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions, allowing users the convenience of accepting payments in various digital currencies on their decentralized platforms.

Private beta stats: 1300+ users signups, more than 3000 decentralised link in bio websites built.

Future Plans:

we are building blocks which will help users to integrate web3 social media content into their dwebsites.

Implementing integration with other decentralized web technologies and protocols, such as Filecoin and Swarm.

Expanding marketing and outreach efforts to promote adoption of ENS and decentralized web technologies

Continuously improving the 1W3 platform to enhance user experience and functionality

How 1W3 is useful for the Ethereum ecosystem?

Adoption and Use of ENS: By simplifying the process of building and hosting decentralized websites on ENS domains, 1W3 can help to increase the adoption and use of ENS, which is an important part of the Ethereum ecosystem. This, in turn, can lead to greater usage of other Ethereum-based applications and services.

Lower Barrier to Entry: By making it easier for non-technical users to build and host decentralized websites on ENS domains, 1W3 can lower the barrier to entry for using Ethereum-based services. This can help to expand the user base of the Ethereum ecosystem and increase its overall adoption.

Education and Outreach: By expanding marketing and outreach efforts, 1W3 can help to raise awareness of the benefits of the Ethereum ecosystem and decentralized web technologies to a wider audience. This can help to promote the adoption and use of Ethereum-based services, and encourage greater participation in the ecosystem.

Innovation: By promoting the use of decentralized web technologies, such as IPFS and ENS, 1W3 can help to encourage innovation in the Ethereum ecosystem. This can lead to the development of new and innovative applications and services that can further expand the capabilities and use cases of Ethereum.

Grant Request: We are requesting a grant to support the ongoing development of 1W3, including:

Continued development and enhancement of the 1W3 platform to improve user experience and functionality

Integration with other decentralized web technologies and protocols, such as Filecoin and Swarm, to further improve performance and scalability

Marketing and outreach efforts to promote the adoption of ENS and decentralized web technologies, including attending industry events and conferences and creating educational content

Thank you for considering our grant application. We are excited about the potential of decentralized web technologies and believe that 1W3 can play an important role in promoting their adoption and making them more accessible to a wider audience.
