Snapchat for Airdrops

6/2/2023

Problem to Solve:

Projects want to engage their target users in a fun way, yet current solutions are more of a hassle than fun.

Possible Solution:

By making it easier for projects to airdrop NFTs and promote airdrop events, you could help to drive more attention and participation in these events.

A possible solution is having an app where exclusive collectibles can be airdropped with conditions such as:

- Expires if not revealed within a timeframe
- Reveals only after completing few tasks
- Airdropped to users who have promoted the project earlier

Users can share NFTs with friends, akin to how Snapchat lets them send photos and videos. They can also select an NFT from their collection and transfer it to another user.

Enhancements:

NFTs for messaging: A limited edition collectible can be used to express oneself the same way emojis are being used right now. The major advantage will be that this will be exclusive only for the owner of the NFT.

A marketplace for buying and selling NFTs: Users could browse and purchase NFTs from other users or from a selection of pre-approved NFTs.
