Develop a user-friendly, no-code platform for easily creating and managing decentralized websites on Web3 domains, fostering .ARB domain adoption, and monetizing designs through NFTs.

Introduction: A linktree alternative for the decentralized web. Your personal, censorship-resistant hub to showcase your unique identity and creations. With your own Web3 doamain, 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.

The Problem:

A small percentage of web3 domain holders have set up their decentralized websites due to the complexity of the process. Those who have set up their sites often have very basic designs.

Creating a decentralized website for a Web3 domain can be a complex process, requiring extensive research and technical understanding of concepts such as IPFS, CID, and Content Hash. This can be especially challenging for non-technical users. Because of the above challenges very few users build websites for their web3 domains.

Our Solution: To address this challenge, we have developed a product that simplifies the design, build, and publishing process of decentralized websites for Web3 domains. Benefits to the Arbitrum Ecosystem:

  • .ARB domains Adoption: Promoting easy building on. ARB boosts its adoption, stimulating the Arbitrum ecosystem's growth.

  • Education & Outreach: Our marketing strategies aim to raise decentralized tech awareness, broadening Arbitrum’s user base.

  • Innovation Catalyst: By backing decentralized tech like IPFS and .ARB, we aim to be a beacon for innovative solutions within the Arbitrum ecosystem.

  • Tokenization of Web Templates: Website templates can now be tokenized as NFTs and minted directly on the Arbitrum blockchain. This introduces a new avenue for creators to monetize their designs and fosters a deeper integration of Arbitrum in the world of digital assets and design.

Key Features:

  • No-code user-friendly interface for building decentralized websites.
  • Create versatile content including link-in-bio, blogs, portfolios, business sites, and more.
  • Hassle-free web3 domain connection.
  • IPFS deployment.
  • IPNS integration to save gas fees.
  • The collaborative effort with ETH.limo ensures optimal speed and availability.
  • Monetize designs by minting them as NFTs.
  • Arweave integration for persistent web presence.

Track Record: Post our previous Gitcoin round, we've:

  • Enabled monetization via NFT website templates.
  • Integrating Optimism and Arbitrum support.
  • Partnering with Space Id to bolster .arb domain support.
