FilmFund.eth: Worldcoin-powered film voting & reviews platform.
FilmFund.eth is a decentralized Web3 platform focused on funding independent films through blockchain technology. Our mini-app integrates seamlessly with Worldcoin to ensure secure, transparent, and verified user participation. Users authenticated via Worldcoin can effortlessly log in, watch curated films, and participate by voting and reviewing them. This verification fosters a trustworthy environment, significantly reducing spam and fraudulent activities, thereby elevating community-driven decision-making in film funding and promotion.
FilmFund.eth revolutionizes traditional film financing by empowering filmmakers and audiences alike. Filmmakers gain direct access to a supportive and transparent funding ecosystem, while viewers actively influence film selection and distribution. The Worldcoin integration not only ensures that each user review and vote is authentic but also promotes fair play and genuine community engagement. Through blockchain-enabled smart contracts, every decision and transaction is immutable and transparent, enhancing trust and democratizing film finance.
The project is built primarily with Next.js, using TypeScript for strong type safety and efficient development. The front-end leverages Next.js’s server-side rendering for optimal performance and user experience. Styling and layout are managed through CSS modules and PostCSS to maintain clean and modular styles.
Worldcoin integration was planned to enhance secure and reliable user authentication, allowing only verified individuals to participate in voting and reviewing films. While initial attempts at integrating Worldcoin SDK proved challenging due to limited experience, mentorship and guidance from mentor Marcus Wentz were invaluable. Marcus provided critical insights and helped navigate complex technical hurdles, enabling significant progress.
Despite the challenges faced during the hackathon, including steep learning curves and troubleshooting various integration issues, substantial groundwork was laid. While the application currently remains a prototype stage, the experience gained through this project provides a solid foundation for future development. Continued iteration, combined with enhanced technical understanding and more comprehensive Worldcoin integration, will allow the full vision of FilmFund.eth to flourish.
