Skull Events App

Proposal Champion: Brandon

Proposal Stakeholder: XOAO

Proposal discussion channel: https://discord.com/channels/584743270828081152/973752586635190302

Overview:

A Skull branded app for individuals to connect and socialize in the real world, by connecting their PFP avatars for proof of verification, and also used as a web3 networking tool as a digital business card. It brings NFTs to the offline world, as a digital events profile. It can be used IRL to access events, clubs, music concerts, and any token-gated venue.

Funding Transparency:

The funds will be used to develop a MVP beta app for future IRL and virtual events with the approximate timeframe of 6 weeks.

In total, 4 CryptoSkulls will be requested to fund the development of the app (Approx.~$3,200 /1.6 eth based on a 0.4 floor price at the current ETH price of 2k) the fundings will be allocated as follows:

Initial cost for building a MVP app for 6 weeks: (estimated starting mid may) 4 Skulls / 3200 USDC to compensate team members: MVP Stage 2 Skull / 1,600 USDC to contract app designer (xoao) 2 Skull / 1,600 USDC to contract app developer (zach)

After the MVP is launched, we will carry out a MVP test so we can iterate and build the product into a consumer ready product. We will need to scale and grow the team to fund further app development to the full events app proposed, with further functionality and utility. Timelines will be based upon the team and will be managed accordingly by Proposal stakeholder.

Additional Details:

Phase 1 (MVP)

We will focus on building a responsive web app designed for events, enabling users to verify their PFP, use their app for networking via a QR code. It's going to be exclusively for the skull community initially for the MVP and this will be tested internally before developing the full Beta app.

MVP Features

1 - Verifying PFP in events (profile page) - enable users to verify their PFP via a QR code which they can use to exchange ‘profiles’ and network.

Event Attendance: Anyone can go to the custom link sent to them for the event and see the title, location, time, image, total number of attendees possible, and total number of attendees so far for an event as well as an “Attend Event” button. If the user does have the required NFT in their wallet, they would get dropped into a final page that displays the information about the event with a QR code custom to this individual’s wallet. This page would be their ticket and they would be instructed to take a screenshot of it and show it for entry to the event. The QR Code can also be used to scan attendee's details at the event which will show basic contact details and social links for easy networking.

(We could test the token gating feature or even remove this for MVP if not needed). As mentioned, all features will be tested and user feedback gathered.)

2 - (optional) Event Creation: Anyone can go to the web app, click a “Create Event” button, and then be prompted to fill in fields for NFT contracts to allow access to this event, number of attendees, name of event, image of event, location of event, and time of event then upon submitting this info the event is created and the user is dropped into the event’s new detail page that has a custom url that they can now share with NFT holders. (This would be important if we wanted to scale the number of events created and aggregate the data / list of events - However for MVP we could make this manual and collect data via a database on our side to simplify the initial process). Features subject to changes based on beta testing findings and certain KPIs. These are potential features that will be designed, tested by real users and then reiterated to improve on the beta app.

KPIs

At the MVP stage will focus on data collection (unique sign ups, event listed, events attended, number of QR codes scanned, social reach, clicks and impressions) and community engagements as the main KPIs rather than revenue generation.
