The Opportunity

Problem

Student developers building NFT collectibles for university events struggle to acquire peer users without paid ads due to web3 wallet intimidation.

Solution

Student devs create event-specific NFT collections via simple dashboard, generating shareable claim links that peers redeem with just email—no wallet setup required. Mints are gasless and stored as soulbound tokens, auto-migratable to wallets later. Peers get instant digital collectibles boosting organic sharing across campus.
