The Opportunity

Problem

Students building web3 study group platforms can't convince peers to use crypto wallets for simple tasks like sharing notes, resulting in zero adoption.

Solution

PeerProxy uses social vouching: existing members invite peers via link, building trust graph for proxy access. No upfront wallet; group consensus signs actions collectively. Student devs embed this for viral, trust-based adoption without crypto barriers.

Target Audience

Student developers building web3 study group platforms targeting college peers

Differentiator

Leverages college social networks for vouching, turning friends into web3 gateways unlike solo wallet mandates.
