Project Title
Dappify
Description
“The Squarespace of Web3”. We enable millions to build a brand, share their stories, and transact with their customers with a beautiful online presence, in a decentralized way. Builders can craft and launch projects, from templates focused on web3 use cases, without having to write a single line of code. Dappify lowers the entry barrier for builders into web3 by abstracting them on the complexities of blockchain & UX with pre-built templates they can adapt for their own needs that offer an ultra friendly end experience for their users.
Manifesto/Vision
Dappify exists to help people with creative ideas in the decentralised world stand out and succeed. We seek to enable millions to build a brand and transact with their customers across an impactful and beautiful online presence.
Problem
-
Accessibility. One major problem with Web3 right now is it isn’t accessible to the masses. Whoever can solve this issue is going to shape the future. Web3 has a steep learning curve for builders, requiring development skills or some level of technical ability for creating smart contracts and user interfaces. More complex dApps require additional infrastructure and logic outside the native network like indexing and caching that are not trivial to maintain and translate into additional operational costs for creators. These issues prevent creative people without technical background from materialising their ideas.
-
UI/UX. One thing that Web 2 companies like Facebook and Google did was focus heavily on these aspects. Which is why they have some top-notch products. These products are built in such a way that the user journey is as smooth as possible . There is no resistance or barriers to adoption. Web3 solutions are still in their infancy requiring users to watch videos on how to use metamask, or how careful they need to be not to transfer wrongly their assets and risk losing them because of a typo. Web3 in general is walking forward from discoveries and tech instead of working backwards from real customer’s problems. Currently, the focus of Web 3 is to build working products which maintain the theme of decentralisation. There is little focus on how users interact with them.
Solution
A platform that enables anyone to craft and launch web3 projects, from templates, without having to write a single line of code. Dappify lowers the entry barrier for builders into web3 by abstracting them on the complexities of blockchain & UX with pre-built templates they can adapt for their own brands and needs that offer an ultra friendly end experience for their users.

Help Requested
Wow, if we can still ask for more (very generous!!!) any of the following would greatly help!
- Mentoring (I got some good mentors already but the more the merrier). Particular gaps that can be fulfilled around marketing and community building & engagement.
- Networking. Help me connect with potential builders and understand their needs so I can craft the right solution for them within Dappify.
- Talent. Finding the right talent is hard balancing budget/skillset. Any pointer towards high quality talent that is willing to be paid in crypto is huge!
