The first cohort of grant recipients from our recently introduced Request for Proposals (RFP) program has been selected. This initiative marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to foster innovation and growth within the Sui ecosystem. The RFP program was designed to address specific needs within the ecosystem, providing targeted support to projects that align with our strategic goals.
Kiosk compatible no-code launchpad for creators and brands
Problem: Sui Kiosk is a powerful tool for developers and creators in establishing parameters around the treatment and transfers of new object types and creations. It is important for creators to ensure their project adheres to the Kiosk standard, otherwise it will likely suffer from compatibility issues with marketplaces and other objects.
Currently, creators wishing to build a product or application, or simply distribute creations on Sui, must either be a developer or involve another person to handle the technical aspects. There is no convenient way for non-technical individuals to generate assets and launch projects that are Kiosk-compatible.
Byzantion Inc.
Byzantion Inc., the team behind indexer.xyz, is developing a comprehensive suite of minting infrastructure specifically designed to be compatible with Sui's Kiosk standard. This project ensures that all NFT projects developed through this suite are interoperable with Sui Kiosk, allowing seamless integration with all apps on Sui. This no-code launchpad will empower artists, creators, and brands to easily create onchain assets without technical barriers.
Unlocking onchain loyalty: Smart contracts, white label UX, and advanced features
Problem: Businesses have shown interest in capitalizing on the opportunities for onchain loyalty programs. Unfortunately, many existing loyalty solutions are not built to leverage the entire feature set that building onchain provides. Because there are many different features that loyalty programs may need, this RFP theme accepted three independent proposals to offer ready made solutions for various use cases.
Hashcase
HashCase addresses the shortcomings of existing onchain loyalty platforms by providing a no-code platform for brand managers. This platform allows the creation, launch, and management of NFT collections, accompanied by a custodial wallet solution. Users can log in via mobile or email authentication, engaging with Web3 assets without needing prior Web3 onboarding.
Arden Labs Inc.
Arden Labs Inc. is building a consumer engagement platform composed of two parts: a B2B SaaS platform for businesses and brands to manage their loyalty programs, and a B2C mobile web app for end consumers to track points, earn achievements, and redeem rewards. This dual approach ensures a comprehensive solution for both businesses and their customers.
Mojito Inc.
Mojito Inc. is developing a white label website for loyalty programs, complete with admin dashboards for analytics and a smart contract template tailored to business needs. Loyalty tokens will be transferable to user wallets via Sui Wallet, zkLogin, or other 0Auth wallet providers, providing flexibility and ease of use for end users.
Growing the Sui ecosystem
These projects represent the first step in our RFP program's journey to drive innovation and address specific needs within the Sui ecosystem. We are excited to see how these grant awardees will contribute to the growth and development of our community.
