High Risk of Financial Loss for Common Citizens: In the current memecoin market, many individuals fall victim to creators who promote and then abruptly abandon (rugpull) their coins, leading to significant financial losses for everyday investors.
Zero or Negative Sum Game: The existing memecoin platforms often operate as zero or negative sum games, where the overall outcome leaves more people losing money than gaining, with no real value creation.
Creators and Degens Benefit While Others Suffer: The current market structure heavily favors creators and degens, who exploit the hype and speculation around memecoins for personal gain, leaving the broader community at a disadvantage.
Lack of Positive Impact or Value Creation: Most memecoin projects are driven purely by profit motives, offering no real-world benefits or positive impact, leading to a cycle where the common citizen is more likely to lose money without contributing to any meaningful cause.
Lack of Support for Testnets: Some blockchain networks didn't provide the necessary support for testnets, making it difficult to test and deploy the memecoin projects in a controlled environment.
No Support for Anon-Aadhaar Verification: While attempting to implement anon-Aadhaar verification on-chain, certain networks like Polygon POS did not support this feature, requiring a shift to Polygon zkEVM.
Smart Contract Bug: A bug was encountered where a mapping in the smart contracts led to a null address. This issue required several hours to diagnose and fix, delaying the project.
Wi-Fi Issues in the Hacking Area: Connectivity problems in the hacking area further hindered progress, adding to the challenges faced during development.
