Challenges I ran into

Oracle Implementation:
Challenge: One of the primary challenges during the development of CricDex was the integration of a reliable and efficient oracle. The oracle, crucial for fetching real-time data about player performances, proved to be complex due to the dynamic nature of cricket matches.

Resolution: Recognizing the time constraints of the hackathon, a strategic decision was made to prioritize other core functionalities over the oracle implementation. The team opted to address this critical component in a post-hackathon phase, ensuring that the immediate focus remained on building a functional and demonstrable Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

MVP Creation for Demonstration:
Challenge: Building a functional MVP within the limited timeframe demanded careful prioritization of features. The challenge was to strike a balance between demonstrating the core functionalities of CricDex and ensuring a stable and bug-free presentation.

Resolution: Following a minimum viable product approach, the team focused on essential features such as player share trading, real-time portfolio updates, and basic market dynamics. Rigorous testing and continuous integration practices were implemented to identify and resolve bugs swiftly, ensuring a smooth and reliable demonstration.

Enhancing User Experience:
Challenge: Crafting an engaging and intuitive user experience within the limitations of time and resources presented a multifaceted challenge. The goal was to strike a balance between the complexities of financial market dynamics and the excitement inherent in fantasy cricket, all while ensuring accessibility for a diverse user base.

Resolution: Embracing a lean and iterative design approach, the team concentrated on the core features that would effectively showcase the unique selling points of CricDex. Continuous feedback loops were established early in the development process, allowing for ongoing improvements based on the evolving needs and preferences of potential users
