Unitap is an onboarding tool for networks and communities and a gateway to web3
Unitap = Universal Tap (Faucet)
Onboarding people into web3 has always been a challenge. There are many new and difficult concepts in web3 that make it hard for users to start using it. Also, the current Learn-to-Earn platforms can’t onboard new users because they don’t teach them how to take the first steps. Basically, they are advertising platforms, not education/onboarding platforms and almost all their users are bots and airdrop hunters.
“Tell me and I will forget, Show me and I may remember Involve me and I will understand”
Think about how everyone uses Google daily without understanding the underlying mechanics of the internet. Our philosophy at Unitap is to involve people in web3 instead of burdening them with understanding complex concepts such as blockchains, PoW, and PoS. Also, we believe that starting the journey into Web3 shouldn’t come with an entrance fee. Unitap makes sure everyone’s initial steps into Web3 are free, easy, and understandable. Moreover, people can earn rewards that are only going to UNIQUE HUMANS thanks to the Sybil protection inherited from BrightID, Gitcoin Passport, and other Sybil resistance tools.
Unitap includes 4 “Taps”
Gas Tap: Unique humans can obtain a tiny amount of gas tokens on almost all the major EVM networks to start using the network.
Token Tap: Anyone can distribute any kind of tokens gated by the requirements they wish.
Prize Tap: Create raffles and gate them with the requirements you want.
Learn Tap: The Web3 university where you can start from zero and learn everything by doing Web3 activities.
Unitap is completely Open-Source. We are building tools to help communities engage, educate & fairly distribute rewards or UBI to users. We want to grow the web3 ecosystem as a whole.
If you have a friend and you want them to learn crypto, send them to https://unitap.app.
Gas Tap: More than 4,000 users have already claimed over 130,000 drips of gas tokens on 28 different networks, including test networks.
Token Tap Token tap currently distributes Bitcoin, $OP, $SONG, and $BRIGHT. We are going to add many more–please contact us if there’s a token you’d like to see distributed on Token Tap!
Prize Tap - Enter to win raffles for larger prizes. Sometimes it’s more impactful to give more tokens to fewer recipients. We are partnering with ChainLink to provide open and auditable raffles. We held 4 raffles as a proof of concept.
In development: Learn Tap - Learn about web3 by using it. Learn Tap guides new users to make their very first steps into web3, including wallet creation, obtaining gas, and doing their first on-chain transactions.
Funder Dashboard - We’re creating a dashboard to make it easy to create your own distribution on Token Tap or Prize Tap. You can set the duration, amount per person, one-time or recurring, and gating (such as BrightID).
Benefits:
Reduced costs: Unitap allows users to claim gas tokens and other digital assets for free, making it affordable to get started with web3.
Easy access: Our Taps provide a simple and intuitive way for users to obtain digital assets without the need for technical expertise or specialized knowledge.
Sybil resistance: Most faucets are abused by bad actors, sybils, and bots. We use BrightID to prevent malicious actors and bots from abusing our faucets, ensuring that each real human can claim their fair share of digital assets. As technology advances (for example, with BrightID’s new Aura verification method), Unitap will adopt the best anti-sybil solutions.
Claim limits:
For all taps, we limit claims to 5 per user (for example) out of potentially thousands of token choices. This forces claimers to pick the tokens they value most. It provides important feedback and curation–with the most valuable and useful tokens rising to the top.
