Na'vi Skills
Na’vi Skills enables anyone to create a modularized non-transferable NFT (”Na’vi”) that visually represents their defining skills and achievements. As you grow over time, your Na’vi grows with you.
Project Description
Problem statement: Many reputation systems exist to help individuals communicate their skills and expertise (LinkedIn and the likes in web 2, Coordian Ape, Colony and Mazury in web 3). Imagine meeting someone for the first time, to understand who they are, you will need to invest time to go through their profile (if that exists) and digest all the new information (likely presented in different formats). What if you can simply check their PFP and based on the visual attributes, you can immediately tell their defining skillsets and achievements? Similarly, what if you can assign meanings to your PFP to showcase your core traits in a way easily understandable by others?
Solution overview: (1) design framework that map composable attributes to pre-assigned meanings (2) frontend dapp that allow users to customize PFP with visually represented skills and traits, import reputation and skills from existing sources, accumulate new skills and traits, visualize growth over time, and propose new design assets (3) governance mechanism for project owner to manage and approve NFT collection
MVP: We start with developers who want to showcase their skills and achievements as the first use case. Our project includes a dAPP for developers to create their PFP by customizing four attributes: skills level (color of the jacket - green, silver and gold - determined by longest submission streak on GitHub), coding languages (gloves), protocol affiliations (chain) and tribe affiliation (cap).
How it's Made
This project uses the @WalletConnect to authenticate users so that they can login to the dapp with their existing wallets. We used @IPFS to host design assets and website used for minting. We used @Tatum's REST API and ERC721 contracts to mint NFTs using IPFS URLs. The NFTs we mint are on Polygon chain.
